Pokemon Africanus

Pokemon Africanus is a great fan game created for PC, with the possibility of emulating it on Android, inspired by the famous Japanese saga, Pokémon. This title, created with RPG Maker XP, is very peculiar, since the events take place in the historical period of the Second Punic War of Ancient Rome.

The most important and interesting point of this particular title is the map where the story of Pokemon Africanus takes place. The setting is split between Spain, Italy, France and some North African countries. You will be part of the Roman citizenship and will have to flee your hometown, Sagunto, as a result of the attack by the feared general Hannibal. Once you get to the nearest city you will meet another young adventurer who will declare himself your main rival, in much the same way as all the titles in the Pokémon saga.

In Pokemon Africanus you will find historical references mixed with fictional elements to give a certain humorous touch and add to the entertainment in the narrative of the game. You will see famous battles of the Second Punic War such as Cadiz, Cannae, the Great Plains and Zama. Different historical characters will accompany you in your adventure and you will be able to interact with them, such as Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Many of the Pokémon available to catch are the already well known ones up to the 8th generation along with other new designs exclusive to Pokemon Africanus.

The controls and gameplay are practically the same as any other title in the series. Your goal is to be the best Pokémon trainer, battling rivals and collecting medals to advance in the High Command, as well as exploring the world to complete your Pokédex.

This game is ideal if you are a fan of Ancient Roman history and Pokémon.
