Pokemon Gaia

Game Overview
Pokemon Gaia came out in 2015 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Spherical Ice. It's a fan-made game that feels like it belongs to that late-era GBA library, built with the tools and style of the official titles but with its own clear identity.You control a young trainer exploring the Orblus region, a place frequently shaken by earthquakes. Your goal is to collect badges, challenge the Pokemon League, and uncover the cause of the seismic disasters. The game features the Physical/Special split from later generations, a diverse roster of Pokemon from multiple regions, and environmental puzzles that require HM moves to progress. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty is a noticeable step up from the main series, demanding more thoughtful team building. It feels like playing a polished, ambitious side story that the developers never got to make.
