PROGRESS: Project Version 2.0.3 - 10/01/2025 - With the release of v2.0, there are now two explorable regions: Hireath and Lyreath.

It is a completed, story-driven RPGXP fan game that offers two completely distinct experiences in one package. You play as an aspiring Pokémon Diver, uncovering an ancient catastrophe that threatens the world. The game is split into two parts: The first half takes place in the Hireath Region, a linear, story-heavy adventure featuring Pokémon from Gen 1-8 and unique "Past" variants. The second half travels to the Lyreath Region, where your team is reset, and the game shifts into an Open World adventure populated entirely by 200+ original Fakemon. With nearly every battle being a Double Battle, a deep diving mechanic, and a New Game+ mode that actually continues the story to a True Ending, this is a massive 50+ hour experience.

🛑Features:

➡️Two Distinct Regions: Experience two completely different gameplay styles: a linear, story-driven adventure in Hireath and an open-world exploration in Lyreath.

➡️99% Double Battles: Almost every battle in the game, from wild encounters to gym leaders, is a Double Battle, inspired by Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

➡️Massive Pokémon Variety: Catch Pokémon from Generations 1 through 8, unique "Past Variations," and unreleased Spaceworld demo designs in the first region.

➡️200+ Original Fakemon: The second region (Lyreath) features a completely unique roster of over 200 Fakemon, forcing you to build a brand new team from scratch.

➡️Open World Gameplay: The Lyreath region is designed as a non-linear open world with level scaling, allowing you to explore islands and tackle objectives in any order.

➡️Deep Diving System: Explore a massive, interconnected ocean with multiple depth layers to uncover secrets and lore, fitting the protagonist's role as a Pokémon Diver.

➡️New Game+ & True Ending: Completing the game unlocks a New Game+ mode that actually continues the story with new plot points, choices that matter, increased difficulty, and a definitive "True Ending."

➡️Custom Mega Evolutions: The game features 18 new Mega Evolutions for the custom Fakemon roster.

➡️Nuzlocke Friendly Features: Includes a Rare Candy machine in Pokémon Centers to eliminate grinding and hard level caps to maintain difficulty.

➡️Modern Quality of Life: HMs are Key Items (no move slot needed), TMs are infinite use, and you can access the PC or relearn moves directly from the party menu.

➡️Time Travel Narrative: The story involves traveling between the past and present to stop an ancient, looming disaster.

➡️Following Pokémon: Your lead Pokémon follows you in the overworld.

➡️Side Content & Minigames: Features a Questing system, a Mining minigame, and a Battle Factory for rental battles.
