PROGRESS: Project Version: Demo (In Development) - 30/01/2026 - This is a playable demo. The story is currently playable through the first two chapters, up to the 4th Gym. The full game is still a work in progress.

It is a story-driven, classic-style fan game with a strong emphasis on exploration and modern gameplay. Set in the brand new Naisan region, you play as the assistant to Professor Pallas, a renowned archaeologist. Your journey is not just about battling, but about uncovering the forgotten ancient history of the region. The game is packed with unique systems that reward curiosity, such as Obscured Hollows—hidden areas with rare items and Hidden Ability Pokémon—and League Marshals, special trainers who unlock permanent repels and reset trainer battles. With a centralized League Arena, a convenient "Training Box" for passive EXP gain, and a story where paying attention to dialogue is key, this is the ultimate adventure for players who love to explore.

🛑Features:

➡️Exploration-Focused Gameplay: The game's core feature. The story and progression are designed to reward players who take their time, explore every area thoroughly, and pay close attention to dialogue for key context.

➡️Obscured Hollows & Old Coins: Discover hidden maps in the overworld that contain valuable items, Old Coins (a special currency for rare items), and wild Pokémon that are guaranteed to have their Hidden Ability.

➡️League Marshals & Area Completion: A new system featuring powerful "League Marshal" trainers. Defeating all other trainers on a map lets you battle the Marshal for a reward and resets the area's trainers with stronger teams.

➡️Centralized Gym Challenge: Instead of individual gyms in different towns, all Gym Leaders are located in a single, central building: the New Mercatura League Arena.

➡️Passive "Training Box": The first Box of your PC acts as a "Training Box," where any Pokémon stored inside will gradually gain experience points as you play.

➡️New Naisan Region & Ancient Mystery: Explore the brand new Naisan region as the assistant to an archaeologist, uncovering the secrets of the region's forgotten ancient past through exploration and double battles.

➡️Increased Shiny Rate & Rerolls: The base shiny rate is 1/512, but you can earn additional "rerolls" to dramatically increase your chances by completing areas (catching all Pokémon, finding all Hollows).

➡️Omni Repel System: Catching all Pokémon in an area allows a League Marshal to enable your Omni Repel, a toggleable key item that provides an infinite repel effect for that specific area only.

➡️HM Skills System: You can use HM field moves as long as you have a Pokémon in your party that can learn the move, without needing to actually teach it to them.

➡️Consolidated Fishing Rod: The Old, Good, and Super Rods have been combined into a single, all-purpose Fishing Rod.

➡️Optional Trainer Battles: Most trainers in the overworld will only battle you if you interact with them first, allowing for smoother exploration.

➡️No Fakemon: The game focuses exclusively on official Pokémon and does not include any fan-made creatures.

➡️Level Caps: The game uses a Level Cap system that is primarily raised by defeating the Gym Leaders in the League Arena.

➡️Modern Quality of Life (QoL) Suite: Includes the ability to rename Pokémon anytime from the menu, and an autosave feature that is enabled by default.

➡️Gender Inclusivity: The game offers three gender options for the player character, and Pokémon have a small chance to be infatuated with Pokémon of the same gender.

➡️A Demo Up to the 4th Gym: The currently available version is a demo that features the first two chapters of the story and is playable up until the 4th Gym.
