Story

A humble small town seeks help managing its brand-new Pokemon Gym. After accepting the offer, you are tasked with hiring a Gym Leader and managing a roster of Gym Trainers each day. The ultimate goal of the gym is to fashion itself as a reputable gym and attain accreditation.

Each day, competitors will line up to challenge the Gym and its trainers. Upgrades to the gym are made after every successful day, and prize money can be used to improve the teams of the Gym Trainers through multiple methods: buying items and TMs, or adopting Pokemon to add to your trainers’ teams.

Everything about the progression of your gym is completely randomized, from the Pokemon type of your gym to the trainers that you face each day. Because every run is different, success depends on making the best of the choices each day offers and preparing your trainers for that day’s challengers.

Your Gym Trainers are AI-controlled in battle. All trainers start with a skill level of 1 that can be improved with random “Skill Ups” from the daily upgrade selection. Improved trainers will start hunting type mismatches, while beginner trainers will make many more mistakes.

If all of your Gym Trainers are defeated in a day, the game is over. It wouldn’t be a true roguelike without permadeath! The game will continue infinitely, but the “final boss” is on day 100.

Features

Multiple save files.
Elite Battle system from Luka SJ
Speed up script, press Q to toggle game speeds (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x).
You can turn off the AI-controlled allies and give commands yourself, but the creator advises against it because the difficulty is balanced around auto-battles.

How a Run Works

Each run randomly assigns your gym’s type and the challengers you will face.
Every day, challengers line up and your AI-controlled Gym Trainers battle them.
After a successful day you pick an upgrade (such as a trainer “Skill Up”) and spend prize money on items, TMs or adopted Pokémon for your trainers.
If every Gym Trainer loses in a single day, the run ends. The final boss waits on day 100, although you can keep playing after it.

Installing: the download is a single .rar archive (Beta v4). Extract it with 7-Zip or WinRAR and launch the game from the extracted folder. Because it is still a beta, the creator recommends saving every day in case you hit a game-breaking bug.
