A PRIMAL FORCE HAS AWAKENED...
A brief note from the developer:
Hey everyone, it's PokeVec40 here again. I hope you all are excited for this new reboot of Pokémon Exile. Two years ago, it was brought to my attention that the production rate of this game was quite excellent, releasing new updates and content at a rapid pace. Quite frankly, however, the game's graphical and storyline quality suffered as a result. Thus, I decided to remake Pokémon Exile with better graphics, better maps, and better plot development. Unfortunately, this is why it's been two years (can you all believe it?) since my last released update. This new release, Beta 1.0 is unfortunately much shorter than the last alpha release since the remastering process has not yet caught up to the length of the previous release. Beta 1.0 currently ends in Sandrune Town, after the player explores Sanctuary Island, with a play through time of approximately 8 to 9 hours. Also, since many new plot elements and features were introduced in this release, save files may not be transferred over from alpha 0.8.
I'm not going to lie, the remastering process is slow and difficult, especially since I'm the sole developer of this project. Nevertheless, I am doing my best to stay on track to maybe one day release the full game. Now that I'm entering my second year of college, things are going to get tough and release dates may be pushed back farther than anticipated. From here forward, you all have my word that I will be doing my very best to not only produce a game that is long, but also a game that has depth, personality, and graphical quality. I wish you all the best, and I hope you enjoy the new reboot of Pokémon Exile!

A New Story in a New Region!
Plot:
The Rakosa Region has always been thought of as a true symbol of peace and harmony. It is a place where its inhabitants live as one with the Pokémon around them. However, little does anyone know of the dark past Rakosa Region- of a great tragedy shrouded by 1000 years of lost history. According to oral tradition, some say that there was once a Legendary Pokémon that created the region and served as its protector. But, after many years a war broke out between the region and its powerful protector that changed the course of the Rakosa Region forever...
Many centuries have passed since then, and Rakosa's dark history seems all but forgotten. The Region is once again prospering and rising from the ashes of it's war-torn former self. Yet, things do not remain tranquil for long. Mysterious auroras begin to appear in the sky, followed my strange meteorites that plummet to the ground and nearly wipe out entire cities. A shady organization, known as The Paradigm, claims to know the way to save the region from disaster. But, are these strange celestial events mere coincidence, or are they the work of a more powerful, ancient force at work? And, does The Paradigm truly know the path to the region's salvation, or are they up to something nefarious?
In the story of Pokémon Exile, you (Zach/Ashlyn) are an aspiring trainer who just moved to the Rakosa region from the Sinnoh region to the east. You and your mother take up residence in Caprock Town, which also happens to be where Professor Acacia, a Professor specializing in ancient and extinct Pokémon, works in his lab. You first meet up with your next-door neighbor, Kathryn, who is enthusiastic about Pokémon fossils, and you go with her to show Professor Acacia her fossil collection, where you meet Noland, his lab assistant. In order to complement his research, Prof. Acacia gives all three of you Pokédexes and one of the much-valued ArcNav prototypes, and asks you to travel the Rakosa Region, gathering data. As you travel across the region, both you and the professor hope to learn more about the new mysterious theory of Pokémon Primal Reversion. Little do you or your new friends know, however, how soon disaster is about to strike.

Your Choices, Your Story.
As the hero/heroine in Pokémon Exile, you will make choices that drastically affect the world around you. As the game progresses, judging from how you interact with others, sometimes new places and opportunities will present themselves, but sometimes they might not. As the plot progresses and you become more involved in this dynamic story, you will be faced with choices. Some will be trivial, with minimal consequences. Others, however, might be cataclysmic- they might require great personal and moral sacrifices...
In Pokémon Exile, when you choose your fate, you also choose the fate of the whole Rakosa Region with over 4 unique endings planned for the future!

Introducing... The ArcNav!

The Archeozioc Pokémon Navigator, or "ArcNav" for short, is a small handheld device developed by Professor Acacia in conjunction with Devon Corp. It is able to remotely scan the DNA of Pokémon and identify them out in the field. It is specially designed to recognize Pokémon that are part of the Rakosa Archeozioc Pokedex, a Pokédex containing all the Pokémon that roamed the Rakosa Region in ancient times. The device fits around the user's arm like a wristwatch and can even tell time!
Using the ArcNav in in the field is very simple, and its interface is similar to the DexNav in OR/AS. Using it, the player can search for wild Pokémon in caves and tall grass. By encountering the same Pokémon repeatedly, the ArcNav's search Level will increase for that specific species, thus increasing the likelihood of the encountered Pokémon having a hidden ability or perfect IV's. Also, the ArcNav has chaining mechanics similar to OR/AS, allowing the player easily encounter and catch shiny Pokémon!

In the game, the ArcNav's HUD interface allows you to hunt for the rare Pokémon you want.

Pokémon Exile's Battle System and Following Pokémon Features.
New 'Wilderness Areas' and 'Secret Hollows' to Explore!
Pokémon Exile also features new locations in game known as Wilderness Areas. These are large maps devoid of any trainers or towns that are under the protection of the Rakosa Ranger Network. These areas are full of rare Pokémon and many places to explore. Another feature within these Wilderness Areas as well as marked routes are secret locations known as 'Secret Hollows'. Secret Hollows combine the mechanics of Hidden Grottoes and Secret Bases in OR/AS. Each Secret Hollow is inhabited by a special Pokémon that the player must battle first before claiming the Hollow as their own. Once the Hollow is claimed, the Player can then convert it into a Secret Base, which they can decorate as they please. (This feature has been implemented, but is not accessible in the current release,)

**Disclaimer**
Unfortunately, as mentioned above, I have been going through the arduous process of remaking the game from the ground up with new features, an improved plotline, better graphics and tilesets, new areas to explore, etc. This means that the Beta release is much shorter than the previous un-remastered alpha release. This release includes the first 7 towns and 2 gyms, ending at Sandrune Town after the player's expedition to Sanctuary Island. The playthrough so far is estimated at 8 hours.
Also, now that I am entering my second year of college, progress from here onward on the game may be slower than before. Please be patient, and I will do my best to get the remastered beta version of this game up to the same length as the last alpha release (through Kiava Village). If you would like to try the old and ugly (but longer) previous alpha version, the download link is here. Remember, your save files from the alpha version will not transfer to the new version.
