Release Date: 2024-08-24
Developer: Pokémon Visual Twitter – YouTube – Discord
Censored: No
Version: 8.15b.2024
OS: Windows, Mac
Language: English

Overview:
fan-made visual novel that takes you into an alternate Pokémon world that doesn’t send,
10-year-olds off to fend for themselves.
Here, characters from the core series games are put together in a more realistic high school setting.
Rather than the player character leave on a solo journey at a young age,
he attends school like any one of us and learn about the Pokémon world from there.
Remake of the project: Pokémon Academy Life​

Developer Notes:

The game Pokemon Academy Life was officially abandoned by its creators in 2022 and had all of its assets and plans publicly released.
In the time since, a new developer (Freudian Creations) has stepped forward to essentially do a remake of the project with the intentions of making a game that can feasibly be completed based on the original. This project was re-titled Pokemon Academy Life Forever. They made an initial release in March 2023, and an update on April 5, 2023 (with a same-day hotfix to a bug in the new content), having effectively caught up to the original in the amount of content while also managing to fit in notable reworks to the format. They also now have a separate project Discord and access to the previous YouTube channel and Twitter account associated with the previous owners of the project. As a result, I am requesting an update to the existing thread for the original project with the above information.

v7.29b.2024
Update 7.29b.2024 is out!

  • The game has been written out to the end of Week 8, on May 30th.
  • Dawn, Rosa, Janine, Misty, Erika, Silver, a Secret Character, and Cheren have character scenes.
  • 24 Foreverals have been created, unlocked by viewing the character scenes listed above.
  • Many new ‘generic class scenes’ have been created–every class has at least thirty, with many having forty. MMCC continues to cook.
  • A new mechanic has been introduced that will become rather important over the next two in-game weeks.

Please report bugs and typos in⁠ ⁠⁠bugs and #⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠typos, and give feedback in the appropriate channels. Download links are, of course, in ⁠⁠downloads. This week also comes with a variety of retcons–changes or states of being that existed previously that I have thought on, and wish to remove. As these may not be immediately apparent, I will list them here, as there’s much potential for confusion when it comes to retcons. Mechanical Retcons

  • Rosa and Hilda no longer swap classes. This means Rosa does not give up her Pikachu.
  • Nate will now swap classes from Electric to Dark, shortly after Week 7 Tuesday. If he acquired Toxel on Springsday, he will give it to Rosa.
  • Wally has been made a Fairy/Fighting trainer, and Sonia has been made an Electric/Fire one, retroactively.
  • The dungeon system has been entirely reworked, with new dialog, mechanics, rewards, and tutorials, starting on the 10th of May. Dungeons are now, in my estimation, slightly harder, but much easier to understand, and much faster to go through.
  • Several Foreverals have been removed or changed. You will still have access to any FVLs that have the same name as they had previously, regardless of if you have still fulfilled the conditions to get them.

Narrative Retcons

  • Battle Team outfits have been retroactively added to the meetings, starting on the 14th of May.
  • Eri has been removed from her prior scenes, and will reappear in a more fitting role in a future chapter.
  • Jasmine no longer uses a cane. She still suffers from all other afflictions stated previously. (Poor dear.)
  • Removed Ethan.
