About Pokemon Minimal
Pokémon Minimal is a fast battle roguelite where each expedition pushes towards the Elite Four while helping rebuild a town. Losing a fight restarts the run, and a fainted Pokémon is gone for that attempt. Routes pair a wild encounter with a trainer battle before leading into gyms. It suits players who want strategic runs instead of grinding. There are four modes playable in singles or doubles, 58 routes, about 300 gym battles and roughly 12,000 trainers. Pokémon are rebalanced, experience is absent, Rare Candies handle levelling, and buildings can be upgraded between adventures.
