Concept
One Sentence SummaryPokéNV is a project that attempts to create a long-lasting, ever-evolving game world and community built on a non-standard Pokémon game formula.
Setting and Story
After Opelucid City freezes, you and your older sibling move to the diverse region of Nebera. When you first arrive in the central city, it contains only a few merchants and essential NPC's to get you going. Once you finally begin your journey as a trainer, you are free to explore the entire region and its eleven different biomes as you please!
Along your journey, you meet the leaders of each biome— all of whom ask you to help them unite the region. Complete each leader's trial to earn their token to successfully unite each biome. Each biome's token also allows you to invite unique characters to the city to expand it further. The more tokens you earn, the more the central city develops, as residents of the other biomes begin to move in.
Help create a long-lasting, ever-evolving game world and community built on a non-standard Pokémon game formula. Featuring dynamic and expanding maps, purchasable homes, player and home customization, and a non-linear progression system, players can experience the game at their own pace and focus on what interests them most.

Regular Content Updates
To keep players engaged, our island world will be constantly evolving and expanding with new content. Inspired by Pokémon Go, updates will come with special "Events" with new Pokémon entering spawn pools, new battle scenarios, increased shiny rates for certain Pokémon and occasionally, new locations for the player to explore, all centred around a theme (e.g. Christmas, Fire Types, Legendaries, etc.). This is all possible without interrupting the experience of the game due to the non-linear storyline.
Quest System
Progression in PokéNV can be approached through the quest system available to all players at the beginning of the game. The non-linear format of the game encourages players to complete quests at their own pace, with some quests containing multiple methods of completion. NPC's around the world will be happy to provide tasks to the players with bountiful rewards, and to enhance the game's experience.
City Builder
When the player arrives in the main city of PokéNV, it contains only a few merchants and essential NPC's to get the player going. It is up to the player to explore the world for merchants, tutors and other talents to recruit back to the city. Over time, the city will evolve and become a hub for all of the services a trainer would need.
