PROGRESS: Project Version 4.3 - 17/03/2026 - This is a fully completed project. The main story, including all 15 planets, and the main narrative arcs are finished and playable from start to finish. Future updates are limited to minor bug fixes.

It is a massive, story-driven RPG Maker XP fan game that takes the Pokémon formula to the stars. Set in 2856 AD within the Pangalactic Empire, you start your journey on the agricultural planet Zelene—only for a high-profile political murder to throw your world into chaos. Inspired by the Hyperion Cantos novels, this isn't a simple gym quest; it's a galactic mystery involving "Eternal Tombs" that bend reality and Team Rocket stepping up their operations in the wake of imperial collapse. Featuring 15 unique planets to explore, a morality system that changes the story based on your choices, and a relationship-building system with your rival, Pokémon Beyond DX provides an incredibly deep, narrative-heavy adventure that spans the galaxy.

➡️Built-in QoL Suite: Includes F8 Quick Save, Ctrl-key speed-up toggles, and registered item slots (F/F5) for field moves.

➡️No Hidden Abilities: Hidden Abilities have been completely removed; some have been reassigned as standard abilities.
