PROGRESS: Project Version 4.0.14 (05/06/2026). The current release is playable up to chapter 35, offering around 36 to 38 hours of playtime. The full version of the region is still a work in progress.

A Pokémon fan game set in the Ayrei Region where you enroll in the Vanguard Academy as an amnesiac trainer to protect the land, solve mysteries, and explore a world without traditional Gyms or the Elite Four.

🛑Features:

➡️No Gyms or Elite Four: Trainers protect the region from threats, rise through the ranks of the Vanguard Academy, and solve mysteries rather than collecting badges.

➡️Amnesiac Protagonist: Begin your journey as an individual who has awoken in the region with no memory, joining a newfound friend to become a Pokémon Trainer.

➡️28 Starter Pokémon: Choose from a massive selection of 28 starter options, 22 of which are regional variants.
