Description
A Pokémon fan game set in the Ayrei Region where you enroll in the Vanguard Academy as an amnesiac trainer to protect the land, solve mysteries, and explore a world without traditional Gyms or the Elite Four.
Features
- No Gyms or Elite Four : Trainers protect the region from threats, rise through the ranks of the Vanguard Academy, and solve mysteries rather than collecting badges.
- Amnesiac Protagonist : Begin your journey as an individual who has awoken in the region with no memory, joining a newfound friend to become a Pokémon Trainer.
- New Regional Forms : Over 300 new regional forms, evolutions to existing Pokémon, and completely new creatures designed to offer a useful role in your team.
- A Brand New World to Explore : A region built for deep exploration, containing optional areas, rare Pokémon dens, and guarded treasures.
- Defined Difficulty Modes : Three different difficulty levels with hand-crafted teams for all critical boss trainers.
- Quality of Life Upgrades : Tedious tasks are eliminated, allowing you to allocate EV points directly from the summary screen and easily purchase customization items.
- Cosplaying Gym Leaders : Classic Gym Leaders return as "super fan" cosplayers with brand-new teams for you to battle.
- Optional Route Trainers : Most trainers on the routes are entirely optional, letting you progress through the game at your own pace.
- Non-Binary Protagonist Option : Offers the choice to select a non-binary protagonist.
- 28 Starter Pokémon : Choose from a massive selection of 28 starter options, 22 of which are regional variants.
- Advanced Pokédex : Displays the base stats and learnsets of every Pokémon you have seen.
- Early-Game EXP All : Received right after you select your starter.
- Early-Game Infinite Repel : Available immediately after choosing your starter.
