PROGRESS: Project Version 1.36 (23/06/2026) - This project is an active community effort, currently playable up to the 7th Gym, with the final version expected to be completed later this year.

Set in the region of Banerica, the plot follows a native Bongolian protagonist navigating a mid-industrial era marked by political tension between natural preservation and industrial expansion. Players interact with various factions, including the Military, Team Lyte, and the regional government, while uncovering regional mysteries and the legend of the creature Bonaga.

🛑Features:

➡️Regional Pokédex: Features approximately 300 Pokémon, maintaining a 2:3 ratio of official species to custom-designed Fakemon, regional forms, and new evolutions contributed by community artists.

➡️GBA-Style Optimization: Adapts the engine with GBA-style timings, sound effects, user interfaces, and custom movement animations to offer an experience reminiscent of classic ROM hacks.

➡️Traditional Gameplay Focus: Excludes modern mechanics such as Dynamax, Terastallization, Z-Moves, Mega Evolutions, exp candies, nature mints, and ability capsules. TMs remain single-use, and standard shiny rates are maintained.

➡️PokeFon System: Provides an in-game device equipped with applications such as PMail, a notes utility, an encounter tracker, mini-games, and a town map.

➡️Apartment Customization: Allows players to purchase and decorate personal apartments with multiple layouts and hundreds of custom decorations.
