I really need your help.


I've always tried to avoid talking about money in here, because this project is and will always be free to play. Not just because it's obviously Nintendo-related, but also because this game was made entirely from love and passion to this franchise, that was such a huge part of my childhood, and honestly still is.

But, if only just this once, I'll have to break my own rule and bring up my situation, because it's an emergency and I've run out of options. The country I live in is rapidly sinking deeper into poverty, having a job is not enough anymore, inflation keeps skyrocketing, and I've ran out of any money I had saved for food, meds, rent and bills. That's my situation right now.

I hate bringing it up, because I don't want to guilt-trip or be insistent and bother anybody. It makes me feel like a parasite, asking people for money like this. I'm sorry. But I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm over $3.000 USD in debt (which, in my country, is almost a year worth of living). I'm working my ass off but it's just not enough. And prices keep going up. Over 50% of the entire country is not able to afford basic necessities anymore, and I'm pretty much approaching the same result.

So, I'm really sorry... but if you are comfortable and able to offer any help at all, as long as you aren't disrupting your own financial and living situations (please, take care of yourself first), I will be forever grateful. Thank you, sincerely, and I hope sometime in the future I'll be in a more financially stable situation to be able to bring you all more games to enjoy.

Thank you deeply, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

replace all pokemon related assets and text then offer the game on google play with a donation option

I appreciate it, but that misses the point of what the game is and why it exists. This was made with love to Pokemon, it's the whole reason why I made it in the first place.

If you aren't on an island, get to the closest border and plead for asylum.


I wish you well.

Why I received this recommended, I never play Nintendo and I don't like it. I don't play pixel game either.

Not sure, but if people are being notified of someone in need, then that's kinda nice actually.

Man tu e brasileiro? Por aqui no brasil tá a mesma situação!

No, but close. Stay safe, friend.

If I had the means (I myself am disabled and am struggling with what many call 'basic things' like acquiring a debit card among so many others), I damn well would.

Sure, it's not much, but I'll contribute 10 bucks. It's not like my life is perfect, but I'm blessed to be in the situation I'm at. and I believe people should take the opportunity to help others when it presents itself.

I deeply appreciate it, seriously. Thank you...
