The level of quality and detail made it hard for me to believe that this was actually a dedicated fan game and not just another Nintendo DS Pokemon title. However, the game still has that same addiction of growing your Pokemon and catching them all. The story is noticeably more developed, from the tragic backstory to the Mystery Dungeon-style aptitude test to the Elite Championship, deviating from the same plot formula that all the other core games share (aside from Pokemon Sun and Moon). The game also seamlessly blends the old Pokemon with the new as they appear alongside one another from the beginning of the game. The lineup of 200 Pokemon are fresh and creative, bringing new typing combinations to the table like Fairy-Dark, Poison-Electric, and the new Nuclear type - with special green-and-black Nuclear Pokemon. The game boasted over 1.5 million downloads until the madness ended.Īs for the game itself, Pokemon Uranium feels authentic, showing the same level of detail, if not more, than the real games. Sure enough, the two developers removed the download links for Pokemon Uranium themselves before Nintendo could beat them to the punch in court. Predicting the same outcome as AM2R, I quickly downloaded two copies of the game file for my MacBook and PC, before Nintendo could swoop down like a hawk and take down the game with its army of lawyers.

After sifting through the news, I was thoroughly impressed with the sprites, Pokemon, and the 9 years it took to piece together the game.

When I went to browse over the new Nintendo-related articles, expecting more NX rumors or Pokemon GO stories, the headlines were flooded with (you guessed it) Pokemon Uranium.
