Description
Years of traveling have taken you to the most remote regions of the world. You first claimed the Champion’s throne in Kanto, took down more than one evil organization, and uncovered countless myths and legends about Pokemon and humans alike. After your latest adventure in the Galar region, it’s time to face a new challenge and prove everything you’ve learned over the years. Because the legacy of a hero is more than just the deeds of the past. Are you ready for your future? The Aoroa Region awaits you!
This game is an epilogue to the player’s journey from Kanto to Galar. In this new region, you have to face the reality of getting older, learning more about your future dreams and duties and find your place in a society. You will eventually be a Champion that passes his/her knowledge to the future generation.

Changelog
Version 3.0.4
- New option: Battle Speed Control. You can now adjust the in-battle speed with a simple option setting. Thanks to @nrt_alaska for the plugin! Attention: I suggest turning off battle animation when using 2x / 3x speed, as some animation can cause problems. Game is optimized for 1x speed, so use at own risk.
- “Mid battle dialogues” are now also available in English.
- Fixed a bug that made it impossible to encounter a specific legendary Pokémon.
- Added a special merchant that sells Trade Stones during the first part of Avon City reconstruction.
- Fixed a bug in the “House of Dragons” quest.
- You can now buy all special evolution items in the game, most of them in Taunoa.
- Fixed a dialogue with Professor Oak that told you wrong Pokédex numbers.
- Fixed an issue with Eevee’s evolution. Umbreon and Espeon now have priority over Sylveon’s evolution.
- Fixed a bug that made the climate quest reappear even though it has been finished before.
- Fixed a few visual glitches
- Fixed some missing translation lines
Version 3.0.3
- Fixed two bugs in the main postgame quest, that prevented players from further progress. (+ implemented a update possibility if you went past one of these story elements without have to download a new patch),

- Changed the encounter method of a specific legendary Pokémon,
- Changed headbutt encounters to 100% encounter rate.,
- Fixed an issue with a charm crashing the game in very specific condition.,

- Fixed grass patches on Route 3 that prevented the players to find normal grass encounters.,

Known Bugs
ENGLISH version
- All dialogues have been originally written in German. They have been translated but may not be grammatically or orthographically perfect. I messed up some translation files, so you may get a German line of text instead of the English one. I may have missed a line or two, but will keep improving the game.
GERMAN version:
- If you read the move description in your Pokémon summary, you may find a description that is too long for the space available. Will keep improving over time.
