There’s actually another Pokemon fighting game that fans are making now called “Close Combat”. It’s similar to this, but it only has Fighting mons in it like Mienshao, Toxicroak, Primeape, and Bewear.
@@TheCharkikanI feel the same, type wild is far too 'on-model' for my tastes, I love the wild look of close combat, every pokemon looks so cool, Toxicroak is my favourite looking out of the lot but personal bias is deffinetly in play because Croagunk is my favourite mon.
You can just tell this was a pokemon fangame that was made by people who love Pokemon. All the callbacks to moves, the manga references, and backgrounds from games you wouldn't even think would be included really shows that.
A sequel to this game with more pokémon and stages from all generations up to SV would honestly be so hype, especially with the amount of quality this game has
Somehow I never knew this fangame ever existed despite looking up tons of walkthroughs and music rips of PKM games on YT at that time. The sprite work really looks official.
Yeah, back before more and more videos were posted about it, the game could easily be mistaken as something made by Pokémon themselves. Insane they could do that so long ago.
The fanservice aside, I really like the amount of care put into this fighting game. This looks like a really solid title and I wish the Pokémon Company was cooler about accepting talent and supporting these really cool developers. I wish I had this kind of creativity. But please don't marry your Gardevoir guys
Oh yeah, I often think about what things would be like if they just hired people who make fan games like this and just give them resources to flesh it out for an official game.
I love the concept of Close Combat and I appreciate hand drawn sprites, but there is something about the truly HAND DRAWN aesthetic I find unappealing.
Type Wild actually isn't dead, the developer behind the game has teased Pheromosa in a video titled 趣味ゲーム進捗報告22年6月. The description of this video also name drops Charizard as a possible future character.
Two things to add onto this The game is still being updated as Pheromosa is getting added alongisde new gameplay mechanics like a modified helper system. The dev of this game (not so sure about this) also made a platformer about Max that's eh but it has some impeccable spritework.
I played one of the older builds before Lopunny was added back in the day. Lucario was absolutely broken when you cornered your opponent, able to chain multiple Force Palms back to back and then directly comboing into Close Combat.
I had totally forgotten about seeing videos of this game, what a throwback! Also I love how Swalot just has a Pinsir living in his mouth like some freaky parasitic/symbiotic hybrid relationship 😅
I remember watching gameplay of this game many years back as a kid, and the main takeaways were that stretchy arm Breloom was cool and Swalot was hilarious. I wanna try this for myself if it’s still around, Breloom and Lopunny are some favorites of mine that would be pretty cool to play And yes, Lopunny for Pokken 2 would be peak
Type Wild is pretty fun. It's more of a traditional fighter than Pokken, but it's a bit more simple than most traditional fighting games. It is actually still being worked on, though. Someone who works on the game posted gameplay clips showing that Pheromosa and Mewtwo are being worked on as fighters. Mewtwo even uses the spoon from the Adventures manga, which is pretty cool. Hopefully they get those 2 finished up and released at some point.
I remember playing this back in college. Didn’t have anyone to play it with, and it didn’t have Lopunny then (or Swalot, I think? It’s been a long time) but it was a fun little thing. It’s probably the reason I wish there was a 2D Pokémon fighting game today. Something like Pokémon KOF but with assists would be a good way to get a significant number of the 1000+ Pokémon either usable in some capacity or in stage backgrounds, I think.
0:34 - 0:40 I dunno whether I should call that Oshawott lucky or unlucky.... OwO But in all seriousness, I would kill for an official traditional 2D Pokemon fighting game.
Man, seeing this brings me back! I think my first experience with this game was when Shofu uploaded it years back, after that I was constantly looking up people playing through the arcade/story mode. This game has so much personality.
How funny, I haven’t played this game in about 10 or 11 years, since I was like 8 or 9 years old. I bet I still have it downloaded on my moms old desktop.
@Lanline-py8ji I saw someone was working on a Loudred character, which is kind of cool because Loudred's underrated, and honestly one of my favorite middle evolutions. He's just got such a goofy charm to him that Whismur and Exploud don't have.
That we never played? I played Type: Wild. Pokesho was my jam haha. They had fanart of every character no matter how obscure. Pokesho by the way was also the source of the "Jasmine sits on a Magnemite, where is its screw" picture
I had a buddy play this in the local community college lounge, it was pretty neat. As a fan of Smash, I think it'd be cool if unlikely if there was a a Pokemon focused Smash clone.
I think Smash would be a good blueprint for a Pokémon fighting game, since while it has a competitive scene and capacity, it’s also a multiplayer party kinda game game.
Ah, I recall downloading and playing this as a kid so long ago. A fun, simple free game, cant complain about that as a kid with no money. Of course I usually played as Gardevoir. Wonderful video!
If you think Type Wild is peak on its own, you have not seen its conversions, let alone many OTHER Pokemon characters made for the M.U.G.E.N. engine to this day.
One rule.... add Heracross to the game, and it's gonna be lit. Had if Gardevoir would've been a cooler shade of pink, like hot pink, it's gonna be perfect. Lopunny needed pink fur for her cool design. Lucario would've been yellow for his shiny color, but not in Smash Bros Ultimate. Swalot must've been red or green, like blood, or acid. Breloom might be in a cooler shade of blue, like more periwinkle. Just like the goof in one episode of Pokemon Advanced Battle. (he also looks like a 1-Up Mushroom from the Mario Bros. series)
Those sprites look fairly good, but the animations are too smooth for my liking. They miss the snapiness that I came to enjoy from fighting games. I much prefer Pokemon Close Combat for that matter
I'm actually one of a few people that got to play this game and it was really challenging as seen in one of my oldest videos. For those that don't know, Type Wild was a fangame made by a former Japanese animator that worked on the Pokemon series.
Gosh I always really wanted to play this game as a kid. Still rlly hoping we get a 2D Pokémon fighting game half as good looking as this one someday, Pokken was fun but this is everything 💛
Man... I've spent so many hours playing this game that I remember I even played it with a broken arm, on a freaking keyboard. Absolutely insane. My favorite Pokémon was by far Combusken, I dunno why, it just was my main lmao
Pokken worlds ended last year i think, we went out with a bang tho. I dont know if i should make a promise with people on the internet, but i will get hired at Nintendo and climb the ranks to get pokken 2.
Weirdly enough my brain has been imagining what if we had a pokemon game like this. Glad to see that kind of idea existed back in the day. At least this scratches my itch. But now it's got me wanting to try making one of my own. Even if I don't really know anything about coding or framework. Ah, well, a man can dream. Thanks for the video.
I remember this back in the day, honestly it's so cool, I am happy with Pokemon Unite and Pokken Tournament being what we have for fighting games currently tho
god it msut've been about 10 years since I've seen this...yeah I used to play it a lot just for fun but never could figure out the movesets fully due to it being in japanese still was HELLA fun, I'm sure there was a bit of infulence in Pokken Tournament for some of the characters. never knew about the rumor that past animators worked on it...that's really interesting and kinda makes sense
There’s actually another Pokemon fighting game that fans are making now called “Close Combat”. It’s similar to this, but it only has Fighting mons in it like Mienshao, Toxicroak, Primeape, and Bewear.
and the animation and art in general is pretty superior in my opinion
@@TheCharkikansuperior is subjective but it certainly has a unique charm to it
don't forget Great Tusk
@@MarcusLam-ks7kbNever forget me.
Also yea, a really cool fangame indeed.
@@TheCharkikanI feel the same, type wild is far too 'on-model' for my tastes, I love the wild look of close combat, every pokemon looks so cool, Toxicroak is my favourite looking out of the lot but personal bias is deffinetly in play because Croagunk is my favourite mon.
A Pokémon game without play able pikachu? Can’t believe it
Or charizard
That’s like a Dragon Ball game that dosen’t let you use a Kamehameha
You can just tell this was a pokemon fangame that was made by people who love Pokemon. All the callbacks to moves, the manga references, and backgrounds from games you wouldn't even think would be included really shows that.
If Lopunny get into the sequel, I’m buying the game.
🤨
If it fights using the ears like in this game, I could see it or its mega form being used. Definitely alongside Pawmot and Hisuian Zoroark
Okay but fr Lopunny is just a cool pokémon and it shouldve been in Pokkèn.
Have you guys heard Pokemon Close Combat?
Woaaaaah maid gardevoir? I mean I did needed it.... now I got it.
A sequel to this game with more pokémon and stages from all generations up to SV would honestly be so hype, especially with the amount of quality this game has
Oh gosh, imagine. It only has up to Gen 4, so it was only working with half of the Pokédex.
Pokemon Close Combat
it has a spiritual sequel in pokémon close combat now
Pokken before Pokken. This takes me back. This and Pokémon Crater were absolute bangers.
I never played any fan games, but Crater was one I always hear about here and there.
Holy balls Pokemon Crater, i'm eating a whole bunch of memberberries
Somehow I never knew this fangame ever existed despite looking up tons of walkthroughs and music rips of PKM games on YT at that time. The sprite work really looks official.

its not that bad theres still plenty of good non sexual art so at least they didnt let that get in the way
Don’t marry ANY Pokémon 😭
Oh yeah, I often think about what things would be like if they just hired people who make fan games like this and just give them resources to flesh it out for an official game.
@@Flizz0I feel like some of them pass the Harkness test. Gardevoir is probably one of them...but I feel like Lopunny wouldn't be.
Don’t worry I won’t marry my gardevoir im going to marry my Zoroark 😎👌
Soo, is no-one gonna mention the fact that Swalot uses a Pinsir in it's mouth to attack?
It’s genius
Its a reference to a Swalot in the anime that did a tag team contest with a Pinisr
@@DjPrimeVideos ooh I didn't know that, interesting
I had a feeling something non-official was happening when I saw Gardevoir wearing human clothing.
It’s basically only in Pokémon Unite now that we’re seeing things like that, lol.
@@GatorEXBeat me to it😂
There's a bit of a stealth successor to this called Pokemon Close Combat that's currently being worked on
I love the concept of Close Combat and I appreciate hand drawn sprites, but there is something about the truly HAND DRAWN aesthetic I find unappealing.

@@jissus3893 The video title is right there copy and paste the Japanese text
@@flaregamer64 Me on my phone:🗿
@@jissus3893I gotchu fam
If it’s not dead and the developer references a variety of Pokémon sources, I can only hope the Explorers Grovyle is added.
Two things to add onto this

The dev of this game (not so sure about this) also made a platformer about Max that's eh but it has some impeccable spritework.
max? like from the hoenn anime?
that thing of gardevoir changing cloths to a maid cloth made me laught and make me remember undertale mugen game that i found years before
I played one of the older builds before Lopunny was added back in the day. Lucario was absolutely broken when you cornered your opponent, able to chain multiple Force Palms back to back and then directly comboing into Close Combat.

I CANNOT UNSEE JELLO APOCALYPSE.

Breloom needs some appreciation 🍄
needed more Mario.
more WA-HOO-ing.
more BLJs.
more Speedrunning.
more FIYAAAs.
more Melee Fox.
more Terminal 64.

Oh cool. I had figured Mewtwo would’ve been a potential other fighter to add.
I think someone else mentioned Charizard hinted at getting in, but the vid they linked only led to Pheromosa. Where did you see Mewtwo?
maid gardevoir was around the Late 2000th's ???
(waiting for someone to that funni meme "it alyways has been" lol)
It always has been.
2:58 ok joker😂

0:04 this is a certified “fan service” moment
I remember playing this game when i was a kid, would love to see it revamped with a new artstyle!
I remember first learning about this game from I think a Jwittz video or one from another prominent poketuber of the early 2010's back then.
Man, seeing this brings me back! I think my first experience with this game was when Shofu uploaded it years back, after that I was constantly looking up people playing through the arcade/story mode. This game has so much personality.
How funny, I haven’t played this game in about 10 or 11 years, since I was like 8 or 9 years old. I bet I still have it downloaded on my moms old desktop.
I really do like Pokemon Close Combat, but... it doesn't have Snorlax and it's never going to have Snorlax. :(
Well, there is a modding scene for PKMN:CC now, so maybe?
@Lanline-py8ji I saw someone was working on a Loudred character, which is kind of cool because Loudred's underrated, and honestly one of my favorite middle evolutions. He's just got such a goofy charm to him that Whismur and Exploud don't have.

I thought this was a fever dream for 15 years.
Never knew about this, wish I could play it.
Also the Gardevoir artist clearly had their priorities right!
I've never heard of this fan game until now
You should play Pokémon Close Combat. It’s basically a Pokémon fighting game with only fighting types.
I’m equal parts old and cool for knowing about this game in advance
yeah, when I think of fan-favorite Pokémon, I think of Swalot
i remember this, when pokken was revealed i immediately thought of this game
I used to kick butt with Lucario. Glad people are taking interest again
i had this on a flash drive in highschool, put it on all the school PCs :p
The sprite work really is phenomenal, ngl. Might have to try it out.
Me, with quite the liking for qipao dresses: nah i would never do a Garde- WOAAAAAH
Ah, I recall downloading and playing this as a kid so long ago. A fun, simple free game, cant complain about that as a kid with no money. Of course I usually played as Gardevoir. Wonderful video!
you should do a video on pokemon: close combat too, it's another fan fighting game with a weird roster and great animations
I'm 70% sure Type Wild may be getting updated again but I'm not 100% sure on that
If you think Type Wild is peak on its own, you have not seen its conversions, let alone many OTHER Pokemon characters made for the M.U.G.E.N. engine to this day.

Breloom might be in a cooler shade of blue, like more periwinkle. Just like the goof in one episode of Pokemon Advanced Battle. (he also looks like a 1-Up Mushroom from the Mario Bros. series)
I was expecting something else when I saw the thumbnail
I did download type wild back in the day and I would like another Pokemon fighting game.
I remember this game as a kid and wishing there would be an official one… and then an official one came lol
I'm happy they used scenes from the OG anime but why the "Pokemon ghost tower while Misty floats in the air" scene?
Thanks for this video, now I have to play the game
Oh cool! I always wanted to play this when I was a kid!
I love the amount of references in this game. Also ngl I’d main Gardevoir with those outfits. 😂
I actually have heard of this one, it’s pretty cool! Glad to see it getting some love!
I forgot about this game until now. Man, I feel so nostalgic.
I need this game, i just don't know if it's available on Android
At that point, they might as well make a Gardevoir dress-up game 😂
Yoo. I grew up watching this game, but I never knew what it was called.
I honestly would not play this game, but hey, the swalot looks funny hehehe
And has a... Pinsir inside??
They’re buddies.
Oh-no Gardivor in a maid outfit. We’re in dark waters now folks
Alweys wanted to play it, but couldn't. Can't remember if I didn't find where to download or if my old PC didn't run it
I love how gardevoir and loppuny are in the game
great now i wanna see something like this
Lopunny for Pokken 2 plz
You can tell it isn't official because Charizard isn't in the roster.
i remember this!!! it was so sad when it died
Saw ads of a game called pet compact not sure if you may comment on that since it showed pokemon on the ads
I would love an official pokemon anime fighter
im going to play this game when i get the chance
I till have this on my PC
Looks cool! I would probably main breloom because it's my favorite fighting type
I remember playing this game with my brother some years ago, the game have so much charm and we had a lot of fun
Those sprites look fairly good, but the animations are too smooth for my liking. They miss the snapiness that I came to enjoy from fighting games.
I much prefer Pokemon Close Combat for that matter
Oh boy is this heading where I think it is?
I hope the sequel (if it does happen) includes Charizard, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Poliwrath, Machamp, Mewtwo, Typhlosion, Wobbuffet, Scizor, Hisuian Sneasel, Blissey, Tyranitar, Sceptile, Hariyama, Medicham, Flygon, Armaldo, Absol, Infernape, Empoleon, Luxray, Garchomp, Weavile, Froslass, Samurott, Conkeldurr, Krookodile, Zoroark, Scrafty, Bisharp, Delphox, Greninja, Talonflame, Florges, Sylveon, Noivern, Decidueye, Incineroar, Midnight Form Lycanroc, Lurantis, Salazzle, Tsareena, Cinderace, Inteleon, Hatterene, Grimmsnarl, Sirfetch’d, Sneasler, Meowscarada, Quaquaval, Armarouge, Ceruledge, Tinkaton and Kingambit and we’ll have a big roster
I'm actually one of a few people that got to play this game and it was really challenging as seen in one of my oldest videos. For those that don't know, Type Wild was a fangame made by a former Japanese animator that worked on the Pokemon series.

Yeah “fan favorite Pokémon”
Basically Mugen
But Just Pokemon
Does anyone know where to download this?
I wish I could try it, but I suppose it's a PC-only game.

Ok this really went under most of the pokemon community, that old video clip was nostalgic af too. Man imagine a remaster??
I've played it a bit. I really liked it! It's actually one of the few and first fighting games I've played.
god it msut've been about 10 years since I've seen this...yeah I used to play it a lot just for fun but never could figure out the movesets fully due to it being in japanese
still was HELLA fun, I'm sure there was a bit of infulence in Pokken Tournament for some of the characters.
never knew about the rumor that past animators worked on it...that's really interesting and kinda makes sense
Another fan game being developed right now actually is Pokemon: Close Combat. Looks really cool so far, would definitely recommend checking it out!
This just reminds me how much I NEED Pokken Tournament 2. I genuinely believe it’s one of the best spinoffs from Pokémon in the last decade.
