PROGRESS: Completed (08/06/2026) - full-game release, featuring a complete time-travel storyline, a mini-postgame, and customizable difficulty modes.

A time-traveling adventure through Johto! Instead of the traditional journey of collecting badges to become the champion, you must unite Johto against a dark force threatening its future. Explore both historic and modern Johto, discover Hisuian and Ancestor forms, and make choices that lead to two possible endings.

🛑Features:

➡️New Region: Explore historic Johto, featuring six brand-new gym leaders with distinct personalities and custom teams.

➡️Two Possible Endings: Your decisions throughout the story shape the path you take and determine how the narrative concludes.

➡️Custom Pokédex: Catch up to 285 total Pokémon (254 unique species) including Sinnoh, Hisui, and unique "Ancestor" regional forms like Ground/Electric Feraligatr and Bug/Fairy Meganium.

➡️Expanded Apricorn Crafting: Gather overworld materials such as Hollow Rocks, Fixed Charges, and Radiant Opals to craft specialized Pokéballs like the Deci, Jeze, and Geode Balls.

➡️Hidden Palette System: Optimize your Pokémon's DVs with specific NPCs to unlock custom color palettes and grant them matching Hidden Powers.

➡️Time Travel Puzzles: Solve interactive overworld puzzles that directly exploit the time-travel mechanic between ancient and modern Johto.

➡️Trick House: Test your skills in a historic Trick House hidden deep within the ancient Ilex Forest.

➡️Three Difficulty Modes: Choose between Easy (no opponent EVs or items), Normal (a tough but fair challenge), and Expert (bosses use full teams of 6 with coverage moves and high EVs).

➡️Trade Quest for the Master Ball: Participate in a multi-step key item trading quest inspired by the Legend of Zelda series, starting in Azalea Town.

➡️Sandbox Room: Access a special utility room that grants custom items, random Pokémon of any type, or instant level 100 setups to play exactly how you want.

➡️HM Improvements: Overwrite HM moves directly from your Pokémon's moveset without needing a move deleter.

➡️Vortex Move: Utilize Whirlpool (renamed to Vortex), which acts as a Psychic-type Bulldoze and can be learned by various Water, Psychic, Ghost, and Fairy types.

➡️Mini-Postgame: Take on additional challenges at the Gauldenrod Stadium once you reach the game's credits.

➡️Quality of Life Engine: Built on the Polished Crystal engine, featuring running shoes, visible IV/EV/DV stats, reusable TMs, and cheap $1 Rare Candies in the Azalea Mart.
