Story Overview
THE CANINE ISLANDS is a remote chain of sparsely populated islands where humans try to live in harmony with wild Pokemon. Catching wild Pokemon is forbidden, and Pokéballs are not for sale. Engage with tight challenges and conquer the ISLAND MASTERS through gifts, eggs, and maybe even a game corner.
You are the child of PROF. TITUS, a champion dog Pokemon breeder, who sets you up for success with your choice of Snubbull, Houndour, or Electrike as a starter. But that won’t be the only time you’re faced with a drafting decision—many other characters will offer you their own choice-of-three Pokemon based on their specialties.
You’ll face off against TEAM MEOW, a rogue group defying the islands’ culture by capturing wild Pokemon. Along the way, you’ll:
- Become a giant kaiju and stomp around a city
- Solve the mystery of the Wing Monks and a masked figure haunting their monastery
- Uncover who’s waiting at the St. Louise Lighthouse—the champion you never got to know
Features
- No Wild Catching: Emphasis on gifts, trades, and creative drafting instead of catching wild Pokemon

- Build a team from pre-prepared Pokemon

- Mystery & Lore: A deeper narrative involving ancient orders and hidden identities
