[Essentials] Pokémon Vengeance

Each Gym specializes in a specific type, and no two Gym Leaders are fought on the same field. Several Gym Leader rematches will be available, both in the Pokémon World Tournament and the gyms themselves. (More information about rematches is under "New Moves/Abilities" and "Improved and expanded Pokémon World Tournament".)

The Elite Octet is similar to the Elite Four of other regions, except here, each trainer specializes in a specific stat (including Accuracy and Evasion). To become a true Pokémon master, you must master both all the types and all the stats. We plan to include several different versions of teams for each member so that there is variety in their battles.

Pokémon Reborn's fields are said to crank up the mechanics of the original terrains (Electric Terrain, Grassy Terrain, Misty Terrain, and Psychic Terrain) to 11. If this is the case, we've increased that to 12 in Pokémon Vengeance. Existing fields from Reborn and Rejuvenation are expanded to interact with many more moves and abilities, and there will possibly be more interaction with items as well. Additionally, there are 6 new fields unique to Pokémon Vengeance so far. More information about the new fields can be found in the main post for the game (linked below).

Your actions and choices will affect the story as well as the teams important trainers may have.

There are many new moves and abilities available to existing Pokémon in the Verdiva Region. Each Pokémon now has access to 4 total abilities (2 normal and 2 hidden). Hidden abilities will become available at certain points throughout the story. Note that Pokémon that change their form with their ability (Aegislash, Cherrim, etc.) will not receive any new ones. New moves will be available through move tutor, and these moves are taught (and used) by the Gym Leaders of the region. Each Gym Leader has 2 unique moves, and can teach you the first move through first level rematches and the second move through second level rematches. Rematches will be available as soon as the Gym Leader is first defeated, but they may be quite difficult when attempting them at that time.

This includes Generation 1 through Generation 8, along with the Isle of Armor expansion, Crown Tundra expansion, and Legends: Arceus. It will probably include generation 9 once it is released. All legendaries will be available in the post-game.

This includes USUM-exclusive Z-Moves.

Items will be used instead of HMs so that "HM slaves" are not necessary.

The Pokémon World Tournament will take place in Jadeburn City, and will be available starting after the third Gym. It is going to be a tremendous part of the game, and hopefully can be as entertaining as possible. All levels will be set to 50, irregardless of whether the player's Pokémon are above or below that level, which allows the player to have fun at any point in the game. The player will register trainers in a device known as the Tournament Pager throughout his/her journey, and you will see this starting right after you get your first Pokémon. The Tournament Pager will be used to register all trainers, including ones from other regions (which there will be quite a lot of). This means that they can all be found somewhere in-game, though many will only appear on certain days of the week. You can participate in the Pokémon World Tournament with anyone registered in the Tournament Pager, though more formats will be available as you register more trainers, progress in the story, and meet other requirements. More information about the specific formats of the Pokémon World Tournament can be found in the main post for the game (linked below).

We have plans to include custom Mega Evolutions for many Pokémon so that ones with less competitive use can still be used effectively.
