Pokémon Splice

About

Pokémon Splice is a fan-made RPG built in RPG Maker XP that reimagines Pokémon battles with a genetic twist. You play a research assistant working under Professor Cypress to develop new Pokémon forms through experimental methods. Your starter, Arenay, adapts by switching between elemental types mid-battle, reshaping strategies on the fly. The game splits into two distinct paths as you choose between the Biogress Foundation and Quantech Co, each pursuing rival theories on evolution. Turn-based combat mixes traditional mechanics with lab-based mini games to fuse creatures into novel species. The game stands out for its branching narrative where alliances and discoveries directly impact available Pokémon and story outcomes. Players can unlock region-specific variants and custom evolutions through research choices. While not officially licensed, it's a niche project with a dedicated following, offering around 20 hours of content for fans of sci-fi twists on classic Pokémon themes. The handmade quality shows in occasional rough edges, but the experimental mechanics and dual-story design earn praise from RPG Maker communities.
