Pokemon Bug Run is a RPGXP FanGame created by Frousteleous, available in English. The current progress is Playable Demo. Latest version: v0.2.16. It was last updated on March 17, 2026 and is now available to download.

Description

Bug Run was inspired by and conceptualized as a forced Mono-type run. For anyone, however unlikely, that isn't familiar with a Mono-type run, it's a chosen game style in which you capture and use Pokémon of only a certain type.

Game Progress

It sure is hard being a BugCatcher. After all, your Type-specialty is often looked down upon…so much so that most Marts won't even sell goods to you and other Bug Catchers. I guess that means you'll need to break rocks, gather plants, look in peoples’ houses, and dig through the trash if you want to be able to have what you need to venture out into the world with any success!

Story

Story wise, why would anyone catch just Bug-Type Pokemon? Why, you're a Bug Catcher, of course! As a young boy or girl who loves the Bug-Type, you will join the titular “Bug Run” to prove your merit amongst other Bug Catchers. …and the world?

The Region

Ecryus is a land steeped in many forests, though you can also find an immense desert, volcanic slopes, deep ocean trenches, tropical islands, and glacial passes. (Not all present at the time of this demo, of course)

Change Log

Features

• Resource gathering and crafting.
• Mining mini-game with new items to find.
• Loads of new items items in general.
• New tree-shaking mechanic (think Headbutt, but with interaction!).
• In place of badges, you will collect stamps (the ink kind, not the postage kind).
• In place of a Trainer Card, you have a Trainer Passport which adds pages and adjusts and updates as you progress through the game.
• HM moves can be used outside of battle by Pokémon that can learn the move but do not know the move, so long as you have enough Stamps to do so.

• Exp.All On/Off (semi-early into the game).
• TRs and reusable TMs.
• New moves (most lack proper animations, but I’m getting around to it!) and abilities.
• Increased shiny odds (1/512 standard; higher odds for certain static encounters and special resource-prompted encounters).
• Speed Up option (be careful/wary with this; it has been known to cause some issues sometimes if used outside of battle).
• Day/Night cycle using ‘Unreal’ Time: 48-minute Day clock.
• Trash Cans.
• 17 rivals, one for each other type (just kidding)
