Description
Experience a dark and mature sequel to the original Kanto journey, set 20 years after a devastating Great War that claimed the lives of Red and Blue.

With updated shiny sprites at a 1/257 rate and a gritty narrative containing adult language, this is a high-stakes adventure for those looking to restore stability to a region on the brink of war.
