Welcome to the Azira Region
Azira is a dense region in South America that is home to many species of Pokémon while they migrate across the globe. Once every decade, a majority of the migration paths sync up and cause the region's Pokémon population to skyrocket! This event is known as the Great Migration. Trainers, gym leaders, professors, and adventurers come from far and wide to experience this grand event.
Your family is from the Hoenn region, where your brother ventured out to become a Pokémon master! Now it is your turn. You and your mother have moved to Haba island, a small landmass located just off the coast of the mainland. Upon arriving, Professor Oak recruits you to help him with his studies. He believes the migration paths are directly related to the behavior of legendary and mythical Pokémon, and needs your help to collect data for his research on this phenomena.
Explore Azira while you discover the secret to the migration routes, uncover Team Rocket's nefarious plan, and encounter some familiar faces along the way!

Features
- Pokémon:
The Aziran Pokédex consists of every Pokémon from generation 1-8, including every form, Mega Evolution, Gigantimax, and regional variant.
Along with Alolan and Galarian variants, you can find a handful of Aziran variants in the wild.
Every Pokémon has their proper abilities and latest official moveset.
Mega Evolution, Z-Move, and Dynamax/Gigantamax mechanics are also available.
- Items:
Most items from every official game have been added, amounting to over 600 items.
Every new item has its official effect, as well as old items having their effects updated to the latest official effect (e.g. Escape Rope, Exp. Share, etc.).
- New Mechanics:
Many basic updates have been done, such as reusable TMs, B/W style Repel system, facing trainers, etc.
Mechanics from later official games include a Day/Night system, Poffins, Honey Trees, Pokétch, Raid Battles, Dynamax Adventures, Mining, and more.
Saffron will also introduce brand new mechanics such as Bait Fishing, a field move system to replace HMs, Side Quests, and much more.
- Updated Graphics:
All graphics have been updated to make Saffron unrecognizable from the base ROM, while preserving the Gen III style and feel.
- Music:
The music consists of tracks from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, and a handful of tracks from other generations remastered with the NDS soundfont.

Spoiler:
I have used and removed so many small features and tiles that I can't keep track of who should even be credited.
If I used something of yours and you are not listed here, tell me!
If you are listed here and I didn't end up using anything from you, oh well!

Finally dropped my mixtape Venting session vol. 2! This mixtape is deeply personal to me as the 4 tracks touch up on themes such as Mental health, parental upbringing etc. Do consider tuning in!

I love your story and the way you pitched it. It's an interesting concept which looks like it can also get very deep interms of lore and world building.
Great graphic work as well.

Yes. Most of the legendaries will become available at some point in the game so there will be post game content unrelated to catching legendaries.

I gotta say, this looks interesting. I can't wait to play it. Question: Is that the final draft for the Pokedex?
Yes, BUT there are a few "secret" pokemon available that are not in the pokedex.
