Description:
Worked on over the course of half a decade, Star Beasts is a Gen 1 dex overhaul and homage to the first generation of Pokémon games.
Started as a passion project to make a playable version of Vast Fame’s Shi Kong Xing Shou for English speaking audiences, Star Beasts became its own project with entirely new fakemon designs.
Star Beasts 2.0.: Asteroid Version is an overhaul of the previous Meteor Version that breathes new life into the game.
Some of the new features are as follows:
This is an updated, overhauled revision of Star Beasts: Meteor Version, and is, for all intents and purposes, the way the game is “intended” to be experienced. Star Beasts: Meteor Version will NOT be supported going forward. Saves from Meteor Version are also NOT compatible with Asteroid Version. The development team hopes you understand and enjoy.

Star Beasts 2.0.: Asteroid Version is an overhaul of the previous Meteor Version that breathes new life into the game.
Some of the new features are as follows:
- A completely overhauled soundtrack! Almost none of the music from the original games remains!
- An overhauled Pokedex, complete with backsprites, that fixes balance issues and replaces uglier designs and makes older evolutionary families more consistent.
- Even more overhauled movesets, with even more new moves!
- The Steel and Dark type!
- New areas and new in-game events!
- New types of trainers with different rosters and improved AI!
- Even more new dialogue, including getting rid of references to “Pokemon.” (Unless the team forgot, oops!)
- Rebalancing of the game to make it more accessible to newcomers, including plenty of NPCs that give you hints on where to find rare Star Beasts! And, as if that weren’t enough, there’s actually documentation on every Beast this time! (Although the game is best experienced blind, use your discretion!)
- Various quality of life improvements, such as an experience bar!
