About Pokemon Giovanni Origins
Step into Giovanni's past across earlier versions of Kanto and Johto, where places such as Pokémon Mansion and the Kanto Power Plant can be visited before their destruction. Pokémon Giovanni Origins follows the future Team Rocket boss while scattering the original Gym Leaders and Elite Four as hidden encounters. DaleFails created this completed English RPGXP game in RPG Maker XP. Hunt powerful wild bosses for rewards, take on side quests from NPCs, and use level caps to prevent over-leveling. A Q-button speed-up option, repeatable Victory Road trainers, and post-game battles with Giovanni, Pierce, Dale, Scott, Red, Blue, Silver, and Cynthia add more to find.
