This is a system I've been working and reworking on for a long time based on the Pokémon franchise and its video games. Being a big fan of the franchise myself, I’ve always wanted to run a tabletop campaign in this universe beloved to my friends.
In this system, you’ll play as a Pokémon Ranger and their trusty Pokémon companions in a dangerous world in need of help. The Ranger is based on the Dungeons and Dragons system, while the Pokémons work on a different system made by myself. These two mix together and are used at different times of play depending on the situations.
Being video games already, the big challenge was adapting the immense volume of already existing material to work with the grid turn-based framework. I tried to stay as close to the original material as possible, while also taking some liberties in simplifying or balancing some aspects of the game that needed it to run more smoothly.
I’m currently done with the first three generations, which include all variants and forms related to Pokémon from the three first generations. I plan on adding the remaining generations up until the 8th generation.
If this has piqued your interest, you can find all the documents here, and I hope you enjoy it!
Here’s a sneak peak of what the Pokédex pages look like:
And here's what the character sheets look like for those curious:
