Pokemon Tower Defense

Introduction: Pokemon Tower Defense is not a ROM hack or an official Nintendo game, but a fan-made Flash game created by Sam and Dan. It is a tower defense game set in the Kanto region, using sprite-based visuals reminiscent of the Game Boy Advance titles. The story follows a trainer defending against waves of wild Pokemon.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The core gameplay is tower defense, not traditional Pokemon RPG mechanics. You do not choose a starter or explore a world map. Instead, you place your captured Pokemon on a grid to defend a path. The difficulty is defined by wave-based levels, not a Nuzlocke challenge. It does not incorporate later RPG mechanics like the Physical/Special split or Fairy types, as its systems are built for the tower defense genre.

Key Features:

• Tower Defense Core Loop: Gameplay revolves around strategically placing Pokemon with different attack types and ranges to stop advancing waves of wild Pokemon.
• Pokemon Capture and Evolution: You can capture defeated Pokemon to add them to your defensive roster, and they can evolve into more powerful forms between levels.
• Flash-Based Accessibility: As a browser-based Flash game, it was widely accessible in its time, though it is now reliant on Flash emulation or preserved versions to run.

The game is a distinct spin-off that reinterprets Pokemon battles through a strategic defense lens.
