>>50066521while it would be nice to be playable, I think it still serves a lot of value even if it could only be observed and experienced second-hand, because I haven't seen too much in the way of additions to the exploratory aspect of Pokemon---it's a good looking game, but it hasn't apparently taken a next step in terms of the gameplay.
My point being, it really establishes how a fangame should look like now and makes stuff like in the OP look like utter garbage, so I think it progressed the scene even if it only ended up being an unreleased playable "art project".
