PROGRESS: Completed v1.4.0 (11/10/2026 )— Fully playable and feature-complete PC fangame, featuring the entire Tandor storyline, all eight Gyms, the Tandor Regional Championship, the full three-part postgame questline.

Set a decade after a catastrophic nuclear reactor explosion, you travel across 13 towns and challenge 8 Gyms while uncovering an environmental crisis caused by rogue Nuclear-type Pokémon. It features a complete original story, over 190 Pokémon, full online multiplayer, and extensive community-developed postgame updates.

🛑Features:

➡️The Tandor Region: A fully original tropical setting split into continental West Tandor and the East Tandor archipelago, featuring 13 towns and cities across varied biomes like rainforests, beaches, caves, and mountains. Players collect 8 Gym Badges on their journey toward the Tandor Regional Championship.

➡️Compelling Original Storyline: Set 10 years after a nuclear meltdown at Plant Epsilon claimed the protagonist's mother and separated their family. Players set out from Moki Town alongside their rival Theo, confronting environmental fallout and crises across Plants Epsilon, Omicron, and Zeta.

➡️Playable Protagonists: Players can choose between three distinct trainer avatars: male (Victor), female (Natalie), or non-binary (Pluto). Each protagonist comes with custom overworld and battle sprites throughout the adventure.

➡️Trainer Personality Test: An introductory questionnaire administered by Professor Bamb'o at the start of the game that determines your ideal starter Pokémon based on your answers. Players can either accept the test result or manually choose between Orchynx, Raptorch, and Eletux.

➡️190+ Pokémon Roster: Features over 150 brand-new fan-made Fakemon alongside a curated selection of returning canon Pokémon. Every original species includes custom sprite artwork, original evolutionary lines, and competitive movesets.

➡️The Nuclear Type: A brand-new 18th elemental typing representing radioactive contamination that deals super-effective damage to almost every type, but is weak to all types except Steel. It features both pure species and feral, disobedient irradiated Pokémon that must be cured later in the story.

➡️Unique Nuclear Moves: Irradiated Pokémon utilize powerful, exclusive nuclear-themed attacks such as Fission Burst, Atomic Punch, and Fallout. These attacks function as high-risk glass-cannon weapons in battle.

➡️Original Mega Evolution System: Players obtain a Mega Bracelet through the story and collect Mega Stones across Tandor to Mega Evolve their Pokémon once per battle. It features custom Mega Evolutions for both classic Pokémon and original Tandor species.

➡️Built-in Nuzlocke Mode: A native challenge mode selectable at game start that automatically enforces permanent fainting and limits captures to the first encounter per route. The game manages the rules internally without needing manual self-enforcement.

➡️Built-in Randomizer Mode: An integrated randomizer setting that scrambles wild encounters, starter options, and NPC trainer rosters. It can also be combined with Nuzlocke mode for a full Randomlocke playthrough.

➡️Custom Difficulty Modifiers: Optional difficulty toggles selectable during file creation that allow players to raise enemy levels or restrict battle items. These modifiers provide an extra layer of challenge for veteran players.

➡️Online Trading & GTS: Built on custom server infrastructure that features both a live Online Trade Lobby and the Global Trade Station (GTS). Players can deposit Pokémon and search for specific species from other trainers worldwide.

➡️Wonder Trade & Mysterious Exchange: An integrated online service that allows players to send a Pokémon into the network and receive a completely random Pokémon in return. It functions seamlessly within the custom online server.

➡️Online Battling & Virtual Trainers: Allows direct player-versus-player battles over custom servers via the online battle lobby. Players can also test their teams against registered Virtual Trainer data asynchronously.

➡️Mystery Gift Distribution: Enables players to download limited-time event Pokémon, shiny variants, and exclusive items directly at Poké Marts. Event data is synchronized through the official game patcher.

➡️The PokéPod: A multi-functional electronic device that serves as the player's map, in-game radio, and communication tool. Registered NPCs and trainers can call you directly to chat or request battle rematches.

➡️Pokémon Speech Translator: A specialized technological key item obtained during your adventure that translates Pokémon dialogue into readable text. It allows the player to converse directly with Pokémon across the region.

➡️Poké Radar Chaining: A specialized late-game tool used in red grass patches to chain encounters of the same species. Chaining displays an on-screen HUD, significantly boosts shiny odds (which stacks with the Shiny Charm), and unlocks Hidden Abilities.

➡️Modern Battle Engine: Built around Generation IV visuals while incorporating modern battle standards like the physical/special split, Fairy typing, and updated battle mechanics. It also includes EV training hotspots like the repeatable Ninja Reunion sidequest.

➡️Breeding & Masuda Method: Comprehensive breeding mechanics supported at the Tandor Daycare, including regional language flags that enable the Masuda method for boosted shiny breeding. Players can manage their offspring efficiently using in-game tools.

➡️Custom Soundtrack & Audio: Features an entirely original musical score composed of over 50 custom tracks tailored to Tandor's towns, routes, and bosses. It also includes unique Pokémon cries, sound effects, and battle audio.

➡️Engine & Display Options: Features native multi-save slot management directly from the start menu so multiple files can be played independently. Players can also customize keyboard and partial mouse controls, and adjust the FPS using an in-game slider.

➡️Base Postgame & Hazard Zones: Access to high-level nuclear fallout zones, rematchable trainers, and remaining Mega Stones after claiming the Champion title. It also originally featured the post-story encounter with the legendary Pokémon Actan.

➡️Full Postgame Story Quests (New): Version 1.4.0 adds three massive questlines starting with the Angelure Pirate Quest that resolve major plot elements and character arcs introduced in the main game. It also introduces plenty of new sidequests, secrets, and Easter eggs across Tandor.

➡️Expanded Moves & Egg Moves (New): Introduces new competitive level-up moves such as Sacred Sword for Navighast, Heavy Slam for Titanice, Boomburst for Jerbolta, Heat Wave for Splendifowl, and Wood Hammer for Garlikid. It also makes most missing egg moves obtainable in-game.

➡️Full Item & Ability Availability (New): Unlocks the vast majority of previously unobtainable items, held items, and abilities across the region. This includes enabling Minyan to hold Black Sludge and allowing Quick Powder and Metal Powder to work on Duplicat.

➡️Toggleable Exp. All (New): A dedicated key item obtainable near the entrance to Route 10 that distributes experience across the entire party. It can be easily toggled on or off from the bag at any time.

➡️Expanded Fly Destinations (New): Quality-of-life fast travel upgrades that allow players to Fly directly to the Pokémon Daycare and the Route 10 entrance. This significantly speeds up breeding and regional traversal.

➡️Convenience Checkpoints & Daily Respawns (New): Adds fully working PC terminals to convenient locations including the Move Deleter's house and the Epsilon rest house. Additionally, the legendary Pokémon Actan now respawns daily if it is accidentally knocked out.

➡️Bedroom Map Language Indicator (New): The bedroom map in the player's house now displays the specific language flag assigned to your caught Pokémon. This helps players easily verify foreign Pokémon tags for Masuda method breeding and trading.

➡️Engine Optimization, Balance & Bugfixes (New): Dramatically improves HP bar lag, fixes cave darkness and alignment bugs in fullscreen, and fixes audio crashes by converting files to OGG. It also sets Mega Drilgann's ability to Sand Rush, fixes the Dutch flag and Route 8 healer bugs, makes the Route 14 plot encounter unskippable, and rebalances encounter and EV rates.
