Two massive franchises crossover in a new fan-made game. Pokemon Hogwarts mashes up the monster collecting world of Pokemon with the world of wizardry from Harry Potter. It’s a unique world where the two franchises cross over and offers an appealing setting for fans of each universe. This announcement gives us a specific example of how the IP’s may interact in the same world.
RetroDodo's fan project blends monster collecting with wizardry in a retro RPG engine
Pokemon Hogwarts is being developed by RetroDodo and uses the RPG Maker XP engine. The game is set in the Galar region from Pokemon Sword and Shield. However, it’s set in an alternate timeline to the main game.
This specific timeline happens in the year 1944. This gives it its own unique feel that’s separate from the main series.
Players can have a maximum of 6 Pokemon in their party. The game uses pixel art that is similar to modern 2D indie games. At the center of the Galar region map is Hogwarts Castle. This gives a central hub to the map and story.
The game incorporates quidditch gameplay mechanics for magical sports. There are also wand interaction mechanics for using spells. This gives some extra depth to typical RPG battle mechanics. It’s a blend of magic and monster fighting.
The game has only had a trailer release at this point. No details on a release date or full feature list is available yet. It’s in the early stages of development. We’ll update this story when more information comes out.
