Story

After a mysterious mass extinction event, Pokémon in the Cyniir region were sparse for centuries, with very few remaining indigenous species and a general lack of trainer culture entirely, outside of ultra-rich circles. But recently, after the dictator Supreme Leader Gharal took power, he enacted Operation Migration, sending his Pokémon Rangers across the seas to other regions in order to bring hundreds of species to Cyniir for the first time. With the operation brought to a standstill due to increasing tensions with Paldea, he has other plans for the second phase…

Because of the new influx of Pokémon in Cyniir, there’s never been a better time to study them. So as top of your class at the Naranja Academy in Paldea, you’ve been selected to assist Professor Ginkgo to help him develop a Pokémon lab. The biggest questions he seeks to answer: what caused the Pokémon in Cyniir to go extinct? And could it happen again?

Discovering seemingly endless floors beneath your new lab, Ginkgo decides to turn the lab into a service hub to generate income that will fund his scientific endeavors and bring life back to the town of Bismuth Village. But rumors say the town is cursed, and there may be more secrets hiding deep beneath the lab…

Features

• 950+ Pokemon available through Gen 8 (plus some Hisui, Gen 9, and Fakemon evolutions), start the game with a National Dex; Mega Evolutions and alternate forms available, with a plot-related reason why so many Pokemon are present in one region (~497 implemented in v0.2.1)
• New region with 8 Gyms + 8 Dojos, using challenging custom movesets and a tough Elite 4, plus rematches for them and most trainers (4 Gyms + 4 Dojos implemented + rematches for Gym 1 & Dojo 1)
• Reputation system, 6 factions that affect the plot and your rewards – work with the anarchist Team Autonomy, the communist Team Unity, the capitalist Team Fortune, the fascist Pokémon Rangers of Cyniir’s government, the mysterious Fellowship of the Ascendants, and/or another secret faction lying in wait…
• Recruit system to build out a gargantuan hub and home base for shops and services, inspired by Suikoden and Legion Saga; upgrade it in a variety of ways; unlock deeper and deeper basement floors of your Research Lab as you progress, renovate them, and populate them with 40+ recruits (17 available in v0.2.1)
• Crafting system with 100+ unlockable recipes (56 available in v.0.2.1); many Pokémon hold (and drop) crafting items
• Study system that provides your character with new perks and other benefits the more you learn and experience in the world, ex. expertise in Hacking lets you break into computers, Negotiation gives you a word up in negotiation events, Botany gets you extra Apricorns, Finances gives you access to investment machines, etc.
• Built-in quest log to keep track of hundreds of quests and side quests (98 currently completable, many more to come); some have multiple solutions (ex. unlock a locked door by bringing a Klefki or a Pokémon that knows Thief, crafting a Lockpick, or negotiating with the person holding the key)
• Combat updates including Z-Moves, new Mega Evolutions, Strong and Agile Styles, and statuses from Hisui
• A variety of useful Pokégear apps to discover, including ones that show type matchups, track available wild encounters, and access a portable PC
• Every NPC has something to offer, no more useless one-liner NPCs – my least favorite quality of all RPGs!: get usable advice, quests, items, Pokémon, crafting recipes, new mechanics, Pokégear apps, faction reputation, recruits and upgrades for your lab, eggs, battles, clues to help solve quests, Move Tutors, and more; if an NPC seems like they provide nothing, they’ll likely offer something later (or you’ve made a choice that’s closed them off from you!)
• Interacting with items that normally gave nothing of substance may now provide new benefits (ex. books, TVs, sinks, fridges, binoculars, etc.)
• Choices matter; many different decisions you make will affect the plot, your standing with the four factions, who considers you an ally, how tough your battles are, and what rewards you’ll earn, as well as how well you make it through negotiation events
• 100 TMs, 100 TRs, and 100 SMs to customize your movesets even further, with revised eligibility so more Pokémon are able to learn more moves; SMs are all former signature moves that were previously usable by only one or very few Pokémon
• Reworked HM system; some obstacles only require an HM Device, but others require consumable HM Charges, offering limitations to HM field moves but without requiring HM slaves or entirely blocking progress
• 7 new types (Sound, Cosmic, Food, Mystic, Slime, Chaos, Dream), adds a variety of new moves, new evolutions, move type changes, and type changes for 250+ Pokémon; there are far fewer single-type Pokémon
• Some Pokémon type changes and rebalances, boosts to weaker Pokémon like Magcargo, Ledian, and Tropius (among others), expanded movesets for many Pokémon, as well as overall type rebalances, including buffs to Bug, Ice, and Psychic and nerfs to Water, Fairy, and Steel
• Weather system to keep battles interesting, using seven location-based biomes that ensure certain areas only get certain types of weather
• No day/night system; no more limitations to when Pokémon can be caught or evolved, play whenever you want
• An assortment of QOL upgrades including quicksave, multisave, and autosave, egg groups in the UI, new evolution stones for easier evolutions, a name randomizer, IV/EV indicators, unlockable happiness tracking, text skipping, in-battle move and stat change details, and a turbo speed toggle
• Legendary breeding (with plot-related reason), new Natures, a BerryDex, a Charm Case, and numerous other special concepts and features!
• New ways of acquiring shiny and other different-colored Pokémon
