    Description

    Your father takes up the Gym Leader position in Lacusora Town of Ruawen region. It is on S.S. Blue, a ship taking your family to Ruawen, where your journey begins.

Prosperous at the first glance, the region's hidden actors are ready to shake it to the core. Join forces with your Pokemon to defeat the Gym Leaders, become Champion, discover the mysteries of Ruawen and lead it into the future... or don't. It's your choice, afterall.

    can we have the PBS files? Or are they still being made? Figured I would ask since I'd like to know moveset info and encounters, as well as what gift pokemon one can expect.

    Sorry for the doublepost but are there nature changing mints or some other nature change mechanic in this? I got mega lucky and got a shiny Nymbal as soon as I began exploring the island forest after I get off the boat, and it has perfect IVs almost in every needed area, and while its nature is Serious and not something detrimental like Naughty or Quiet, I figured I would ask if I can change it at any point in general.

    Thank you for your replies and showing interest in my game!
    Can you make a discord for this game?
    I currently do not have the energy nor want to host and admin a discord server.

    Here are the Pokemon and encounters PBS files. As the game's development progresses these may change and encounters are only up to the areas available in the Beta version. As for the gift Pokemon, there aren't any at moment or in the near future plans.

    There actually are mints in the game! Few are in Beta, though. But more will definitely be available later in the game!

    ah so i beat the beta so far, neat. its really good so far, did find a bug with the package quest that if you dont have any room for the reward, you lose out completely. it looks like he talks to you but there is no dialogue box. def keeping my eye on this one for more content. the ONLY thing that bugs me is that i cant toggle running.

    Thanks for your kind words and pointing out bugs! I don't really know what you mean by toggling running. Running shoes are given to player at the start - does it break after a certain point or..? There's also a default movement type setting if that's what you're referring to.
