Pokemon RPG mechanics

Creation screen

Battle screen

Base project for the tutorial series about Godot RPG mechanics (Italian commentary).

Simplifications

• Only 1st gen Pokemons
• Only 1 save file
• All pokemons use the Medium fast experience curve
• No sounds/ attack animations

The main objective of this project was exploring GDScript advanced features and not to create a replica of the Pokemon battle system.
