Why Choose Them?

Pikamoon is a GameFi token with a significant focus on community. They have studied previous successful GameFi tokens and implemented the best features on the Pikamoon ecosystem to ensure $PIKA is on the path to continuous growth and development.

There are four basic elemental types in the Pikaverse, and they dominate four regions. The user's avatars have to navigate treacherous lands to earn more $PIKA and upgrade their NFTs.

The Pikamoon core team is working hard to build a state-of-the-art metaverse with an in-game marketplace where users can trade assets. They foresee a future where $PIKA is the best metaverse and GameFi crypto. As luck would have it, they are taking every step towards achieving that.

Gameplay

Pikamoon is an RPG with a particular focus on exploration, strategy, and combat. Pikamoon is split into two major modes: an offline campaign mode and an online multiplayer mode. Currently, their focus is solely on the offline mode, with multiplayer to come later.

Players will be able to explore the beautiful world of Dreva alongside their Pikamoon companion. Players can enter this world either with a partner PFP, or with an official PFP NFT from Pikamoon (released later this year).

The game features a gripping main story that pits the player against the 13th God, a malevolent entity seeking to reshape the world. Players must travel the open-world environment, assemble the ultimate team, battle powerful bosses, and challenge the Gods themselves if they’re to have any hope of saving Dreva.

Gameplay is divided into two distinct sections: exploration and battles. Exploration takes place in real time, allowing the player to travel across Dreva. Players can uncover hidden areas, talk with NPCs, and purchase items.

Battles are turn-based fights between your Pikamoon and the opposing Pikamoon. Each Pikamoon has its own move set which can grow and evolve from experience gained in combat and specialized items. Players can also use items to help shift the tide of battle, either healing their injured Pikamon or boosting their stats to ludicrous levels. When a Pikamoon runs out of health, they need to rest for a few hours to recover (never dying, don’t worry).

Players can battle NPC trainers to obtain Pika, which is used in the in-game marketplace to purchase assets like health, weapons, transport, and more.

Inspirations

Their foremost inspiration comes from the amazing world of Pokemon. Ruby and Sapphire served as defining moments of their childhood.. The vast, tropical landscape of Hoenn, inhabited by strange and wonderful Pokemon. These titles, though simplistic in style, invited us into a magical world that has stuck with us to this day.

Later on, the football game Fifa would also make its mark. Captivating gameplay that allowed you to assemble a team of your favorite players. One of its more unique elements, the Ultimate Team subscription, allowed you to customize your team in its totality, so long as you had the right cards. An actual dream team of the best players from across the globe, under your careful management. I can’t be the only one who was happily sitting there, dreaming about the moment I might manage these players for real.

Fortnite also deserves an honorable mention, for its striking, cartoony art style that has delighted millions. There’s an incredible charm to it.

Now, picture the pixelated landscapes of Hoenn rendered in a Fortnite style. Imagine a low-floor, high-ceiling battle system, with resistances and weaknesses, and moves of varying costs and power. Bundle that with the means to not just collect, but actually own the Pikamoon you obtain, and you’ve got a glimpse at the experience they’re looking to create.

Player Experience

Gameplay Progression is primarily tied to defeating Guardians, powerful residents of the world of Dreva, and winning tournaments. Guardians can refer to several different figures, from faction leaders to dark forces seeking to destroy the world. Players will need to defeat these Guardians in order to progress the story, gain access to new locations, and acquire new items. In terms of narrative, these actions will also boost the player’s renown throughout the world. In-universe, the player is a “new visitor” to this realm. They are chosen to embark on a quest to save Dreva, but they also need to prove themselves throughout the journey.

In order to defeat these Guardians, players will need to capture new Pikamoon. This will add variety to their party selection, and allow them access to new tactics and moves that can help them attain victory when it was impossible before. As they grow in power over the course of the story, the player will eventually be able to challenge the Gods themselves.

Gameplay Guidelines

Pikamoon is designed to be playable by all ages. The offline version of the game will not feature mature content of any kind (things like excessive violence, gore, swearing, sex, just to name a few). That doesn’t mean we’re not going to tackle mature topics or darker situations, just that they must be handled carefully and with respect to their audience.

Battle System

Travelers can battle against other Travelers and Wild Pikamoon. These battles are turn-based, pitting one Pikamoon against another. Last Pikamoon standing is the winner.

At the start of the battle, the Lead Pikamoon in the player’s party is automatically sent out. If facing an enemy Traveler, they will follow up by sending out their Lead Pikmaoon.

Afterward, the player will be prompted to choose from one of five actions:

• Attack: Player orders their Pikamoon to use one of their moves.

• Items: Player uses an item.

• Check-in: Player calls out to their Pikamoon, to see how they’re doing. Allows for interaction between them.

• Swap: Player swaps out their Pikamoon for another one.

• Flee: Player attempts to flee the battle (only available if enemy is Wild Pikamoon).

• Talk (free action): Player talks with the Rival Traveler. Allows for interaction between them.

After the player selects their action, the enemy will select theirs (hidden from the player). After this, the game determines which of the two actions will trigger first, before resolving them. Depending on the resolution, several possibilities can occur:

• If neither Pikamoon was defeated: Game returns to the Battle Menus. Player selects their next action.

• If the enemy Pikamoon was defeated or captured: Player Pikamoon receives XP.

• If enemy is Rival Traveler: Check to see if they have Pikamoon remaining.

• If yes: Rival Traveler sends out the next Pikamoon. Game returns to Battle Menus.

• If no: Player receives money, battle ends.

• If player Pikamoon was defeated: Check to see if player has Pikamoon remaining.

• If yes: Player sends out next Pikamoon. Game returns to Battle Menus.

• If no: Battle ends with player loss.

Moves

Pikamoon can know a maximum of four (4) moves. If a PIkamoon can learn a new move while already knowing the maximum amount, the player will be asked to delete an existing move or forgo learning the new move.

Each move possesses the following information:

• Name: Name of the move. Self-explanatory.

• Type: The elemental typing of the move (Fire/Water/Earth/Thunder).

• Power: The base damage the move will deal.

• Accuracy: The base accuracy of the move.

• Trait: A special modifier that drastically changes the move.

• Description: A brief bit of flavor text and an explanation of what the move does.

Offensive moves

Offensive moves are exactly what you think: a means of dealing damage to enemy Pikamoon. Battles against rival Travelers will almost always come down to whoever has Pikamoon left when, so you’ll want to make sure you can hit hard.

Offensive moves can possess any of the following traits:

• Deadeye: This move will never miss.

• Swift: A Pikamoon using this move will act first, regardless of speed difference.

• Multihit (x): A move that hits several times, with x being the number of times this move can hit.

• Charge: The Pikamoon spends this turn ‘preparing’ the ability, then unleashes it on the following turn.

• Marker: The first time a move with Marker is used, the enemy Pikamoon is marked. The next time a move with Marker is used, the enemy Pikamoon takes additional damage, and the marker is removed.

• Recoil: A move that, in addition to damaging the enemy Pikamoon, deals 1/3rd of its damage to the user.

• Terminator: This move will automatically KO the enemy PIkamoon, regardless of HP.

• Exhaustion: After using this move, the Pikamoon cannot use a move on their next turn.

• Lethal: After using this move, the Pikamoon will immediately drop to 0 HP.

• Cage: After being hit by this move, the opposing Pikamoon cannot switch out.

• Ultimate: This move is the strongest move available of that Type.

Support moves

Support moves are designed to boost your own abilities, weaken the opposing Pikamoon, or assist with battle in some way.

Stats

Each Pikamoon has a different purpose. Some are sweepers designed to tear through enemy teams. Others are walls, ready to absorb any attacks thrown at them. A Pikamoon’s role depends on several factors, but most important of all are their stats.

Basics

There are four different stats: Attack, Defense, Speed, and Health. A Pikamoon will be assigned starting TPs (training points) to these four stats based on their background.

Each time a Pikamoon levels up, they will receive 2 points to assign to their stats. A player can either set these points to be assigned automatically, or they can manually assign them. Depending on the Pikamoon’s background, certain stats are easier or more difficult to level up.

Example: Ferda, the Earth Pikamoon, is Level 1. Due to their ‘Stubborn’ background, they start with 1 TP in Attack and Speed, 2 TPs in Defense, and 4 TPs in Health. After they reach Level 2, they receive 2 points to assign to their stats. Due to their ‘Stubborn’ background, they can:

• Increase their Attack or Speed by 1 (a 2-point cost per TP)

• Increase their Defense by 2 (a 1-point cost per TP)

• Increase their Health by 4 (a 1-point cost per 2 TPs)

They can see from the above that Ferda is great at raising their health, decent at raising their defense, and bad at raising their attack and speed. Players are welcome to min/max stats, or create unique combinations which are different from the norm.

While a Pikamoon’s level can climb as high as the player wishes, a Pikamoon will only receive a maximum of 198 points over the course of the game (to phrase it another way, they only receive points up to Level 100). Combined with their starting points, a Pikamoon will have 206 points total.

AI Modifiers

AIs are solid enough to provide a decent challenge and offer slight variation from battle to battle, there is the possibility of battles growing stale over the course of the game. To avoid the risk of battles feeling “samey”, both Travelers and Wild Pikamoon have Modifiers that change up their AI in fun and interesting ways.

Typically, Travelers and Wild Pikamoon will only have one (1) AI Modifier at a time, but certain enemies may have several.

Pikanomics

Pikamoon ($PIKA) is the native crypto of the Pikaverse. It is a deflationary GameFi coin with real value and utility. You can spend $PIKA in the in-game marketplace on luxurious items in your quest to navigate the Pikaverse. Complete missions to earn $PIKA and level up your avatars.

Pikamoon token is designed for long term sustainability of their project and don't want to be used as a quick flip for early investors.

TRANSACTION TAX

Pikamoon incorporates a small 2.5% transaction tax on Sell orders & Transfers. There is NO buy Tax when purchasing $PIKA. The Pikamoon token is used to support our metaverse and marketplace, therefore they want to reward hodlers of Pikamoon by punishing those leaving their ecosystem. 1% of the tax will go towards marketing, 1% towards the ecosystem development fund / P2E Rewards and 0.5% burned forever.
