PROGRESS: Project Version 2.6 - 10-09-2025 A number of small bugs have appeared seemingly out of nowhere and are being fixed, and updates for the game's plugins have been released.

It is a massive, feature-rich fan game that invites you to become a foreign exchange student in the brand new, expansive Shinju Region! In this game, your journey is your own. Explore the region at your own leisure, hunt for shiny Pokémon with a massively boosted 1/128 shiny rate, and make friends with other exchange students. As you take on the Gym Challenge, you'll also uncover the truth behind the mysterious Team Sunset, an organization trying to be heroes... no matter what the cost. With Pokémon from all nine generations, Mega Evolution, a built-in Nuzlocke mode, and tons of modern quality-of-life features, this is the ultimate modern Pokémon adventure.

🛑Features:

➡️A Brand New Region with DLC: Explore the vast and expansive Shinju Region, a land with high biodiversity. The completed game also includes two DLC areas: the post-game vacation spot, Getaway Island, and the mysterious Isle Obscura. ➡️Increased Shiny Rate (1/128): The shiny encounter rate has been massively boosted to 1 in 128, making shiny hunting a core and rewarding part of the adventure.

➡️Pokémon Up to Generation 9 & New Fakemon: The game features a massive roster of Pokémon from the first nine generations, including regional forms. It also introduces two brand new, custom-made Fakemon: Fairsnay and Windsnil. ➡️Mega Evolution: The popular Mega Evolution battle gimmick is included in the game.

➡️Built-in Nuzlocke Mode: The game features an optional, built-in Nuzlocke mode with a suite of customizable rules and features, including starting with Rare Candies.

➡️Massive Post-Game with Famous Trainers: The post-game is huge and features a "vacation" area on Getaway Island where you can find and battle numerous famous trainers from the series, including every evil team leader (Giovanni, Archie, Maxie, Cyrus, Ghetsis, Lysandre, Guzma) and other characters like Miror B. ➡️High EXP Gains & Optional EXP All: The game features high EXP gains to minimize grinding, and the modern EXP All feature can be toggled on or off.

➡️Following Pokémon: Your lead Pokémon will follow you on your adventure, with a plugin that has been updated to fix bugs with ledges and transitions. ➡️No HM Slaves Needed: The game is designed to be played without HM slaves. Fly is the only HM move, but a warp system in Pokémon Centers provides fast travel. Other HMs are replaced by items or other means.

➡️Modern UI & Menus: The game features a host of modern UI improvements, including a party IV checker, an in-game Move Relearner, a Hidden Power type viewer, an encounter list, animated sprites, animated trainer intros, a Gen 5-style bag, a new main menu, and an in-battle type display.

➡️Built-in Updater: The game includes a PokeUpdater.exe that allows you to easily update your game to the latest version without needing to manually patch files.

➡️Mystery Gift System: The game has a working Mystery Gift feature, with events and gifts shared through the game's official Discord.

➡️(Pseudo) Wondertrade: The game includes a system that mimics the Wonder Trade feature from the official games.

➡️Speed-Up Button: A built-in speed modifier (press 'Q') is available to speed up grinding and travel.

➡️Multiple Save Slots: You can have multiple save files for different playthroughs, with an auto-save feature included.

➡️No-Trade Evolutions: All Pokémon that previously required trading to evolve now have new, accessible in-game evolution methods.

➡️Customizable Player Character: You can choose your pronouns at the start of the game.

➡️New Original Story: Experience a brand new story where you play as a foreign exchange student and investigate the mysterious Team Sunset, an organization that wants to be seen as heroes, no matter the cost.
