Pokémon Hogwarts fan game, Digi Mart USA News: A new unofficial crossover between Pokémon and Harry Potter is in development as a fan game, according to a report from Notebookcheck citing the developer RetroDodo. The project is being built with RPG Maker XP and is part of a growing scene of Pokémon fan-made titles.
The game is set in the Galar region, familiar from Pokémon Sword and Shield, but in the year 1944. A version of Hogwarts Castle stands at the center of Galar in the game world. Pokémon can be seen lurking in the tall grass, and players can choose to avoid encounters if they wish.
The pixel graphics are closer to modern 2D indie games than to classic Pokémon releases, and the report describes several gameplay differences from the official series. The trailer does not show Pokémon battles, but it includes a brief glimpse of a Quidditch match.
As in the main series, players can bring up to six Pokémon along at a time.
Other features mentioned include dynamic day-night cycles and the ability to use a wand to interact with the game world and non-player characters. Only a trailer has been released so far, so details about the game’s content, technology and release date are not yet known.
