In addition to its original region and storyline, Pokémon Voyager also has quite a few custom battle mechanics, battle types, and Battle Frontier facilities. This is a large undertaking for a small development team. In order to release incremental changes to our battle engine separately from the storyline, the Pokémon Voyager team has created a separate Frontier Demo patch for players to exercise the battle engine and provide incremental feedback on its quality and mechanics without waiting for the storyline to stabilize.
Here is a summary of the key systems that are being introduced in this demo (more details below):
- Multi-ability system and beta demonstratation of ability const constraint linear programming solution
- Triple Battles
- Royale Battles
- 3v1 battles
- Custom Battle Frontier Facilities
- Frontier Mode/Sandbox Menu
- Gym Leader Gauntlet Challenge
