Fan-made Pokemon Uranium launches after 9 years of development - CNET

There are many fan-made Pokemon projects out there, but none were slaved over for nearly a decade.

Pokemon Uranium, which took developrs JV and Involuntary Twitch nine years to make -- was released this week.

The game is set in a new region, Tandor, and its developers designed and animated over 150 new, unofficial Pokemon. These include a new type not found in the actual Pokemon games, the Nuclear type.

It appears to be developed on Gameboy Advance architecture, resembling the graphics in 2004's Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green games.

The release is timely, with Pokemon Go putting the franchise back on the map over the last month or so. For those looking for their next official Poke-fix, Pokemon Sun and Moon launch on the 3DS in mid-November.
