Long ago, the Allfather Odin created the monsters. No one knows why he did this. Some say he was probably drunk. Others say he was surely drunk. In any case, he eventually crammed them all onto a weird, flat planet and lost the keys.
For centuries, he actually forgot all about this planet. The monsters enjoyed their world, free from the gods.
When Odin finally remembered the whole monster thing, he decided that something had to be done to catch 'em... all of 'em. But Odin's always been more of an "idea man", so he sent Professor Raven to kidnap you and make you do it.
He says you "gotta"...
WELCOME TO POKEHEIM!
Pokéheim is a completely different experience than Valheim. You don't build houses, you don't progress through technological stages, and your weapons and armor don't matter. You build Pokéballs from rocks and use them to capture monsters. Your monsters will then fight other monsters for you, until you've amassed an army big enough to take on the bosses.
We recommend starting with a fresh character and world. If you don't, please make a backup of anything you care about. It will probably be fine, but better safe than sorry.
We recommend trying the mod and letting yourself be pleasently surprised. If you need to be enticed, though, please check out these preview videos:

-
Any mod adding monsters to Valheim should work just fine with Pokéheim. Pokéheim discovers all monster at runtime. New monsters will be capturable, will be listed in the Pokédex, and will count toward completion of the game, but will not be rideable.
-
Any mod adding armor to Valheim should also work with Pokéheim. Pokéheim discovers all armor at runtime. New armor will show up in the style dialog and in the wardrobe. Might we recommend CustomWigs?
-
Any mod that adds new resources or recipes to Valheim will be non-functional with Pokéheim, but Pokéheim is unlikely to be harmed by it.
-
Pokéheim is NOT compatible with AllTameable. Pokéheim has its own way of making monsters Tameable (by capturing them), so you should not use it with AllTameable.
-
The Pacifist mod interferes with the "fainting" system in Pokéheim by disabling Ragdolls.
The server and all players must be using the mod, and everyone must use the same version of the mod.
Just use your favorite mod manager and search for Pokeheim. If you have never installed a mod before, please check out docs/Install.md or this video by YouTuber "donutsorelse".
