“Delve into the unknown.”

Lore

Thousands of years ago, a great calamity befell upon our isles.

Amidst a torrential rainstorm, the great volcano of Mount Kaballa erupted in a fit of rage under the moonless night. From the smoke billowing out its throat emerged a monstrous beast adorned with wings of shadow and blight.

The beast polluted the air with ominous dust, transforming the downpour into a deluge of purple rain. A thick and profane mist began to form from the rain, tainting the seas and forests, corrupting the wildlife into heartless creatures of savagery and disdain.

Sensing the disturbance, our three sacred guardians sprung from their nests to meet the beast in the murky skies to halt the desecration of their homes. However, they stood no quarter to its unfathomable power, and they too fell under its wicked influence. Our ancestors could only watch as those who were meant to protect the isles brought untold chaos and destruction to them instead.

But when all hope had seemed lost, a majestic dragon of ethereal silver suddenly rose from the depths of the ocean. With a deafening roar and a single flap of its colossal wings, an enormous gale swept through the isles, dispelling the virulent smog and freeing the isle guardians from its clutches. Together, our winged protectors and the majestic dragon defeated the monstrous beast, sending it back from whence it came and putting an end to the nightmare once and for all. After the storm cleared, the majestic dragon delved back into the abyss, promising us that should catastrophe strike again, it would return.

Today, we know the heavenly creature as Lugia, The Savior of Marya.

Story

You, an adolescent and aspiring trainer from a foreign land, have been given the opportunity to travel abroad to the tropical region of Marya! Your new professor, Sheldon Palm, has graciously accepted you as one of his pupils to help him conduct field research around the isles. You’ve also arrived just in time for the upcoming Silverwing Festival, a grand celebration hosted by the Silverwing Order each year to honor their glorious savior, Lugia.

You set forth on an adventure across the three main islands of Oranna, Lumine, and Minerva, challenging their respective gym leaders in hopes of gaining entry into the renowned Silverwing Festival Tournament as well as completing the Pokédex for your professor. But as you continue to explore the isles, you gradually begin to unveil a dark secret that seemingly only you can see…

…and it’s up to you to bring it into the light.

Features

• [UPDATED] Modern Game Engine: IoM uses pokeemerald-expansion as the base game engine, which includes a ton of features from battle upgrades to all Pokémon up to Generation 9!​
• [UPDATED] Unique Graphics: Explore the exotic isles of Marya in a redesigned 3rd generation tileset with custom sprites!​
• Unique Story: Explore three (one as of alpha v1) different islands, each with brimming personalities, and uncover the truth behind them!​
• Day/Night System: The time of day can and will greatly alter many things in the world of Marya. Some NPCs may change positions or can only be found during a specific time of day, and the same applies for Pokemon overworld encounters as well! For your convenience, you will always be able to change your in-game time at most Pokemon Centers!​
• Quest System: Inspired by Pokémon Unbound, there is a quests menu that will keep track of all of the available quests and current todo.​
• Encouraged Exploration: The isles of Marya have quite a lot to offer, from numerous sidequests, plenty of optional areas, and a plethora of easter eggs and rewards to reward exploration!​
• Boss Battles: Some Pokémon found in the wild that are stronger than usual and serve as obstacles to your path.​
• Difficulty: Our hope is for gameplay to be challenging, but not too tedious or frustrating for the average player. Trainers in the Marya region are no pushovers, and any one of them could be an abrupt end to your journey!
  • [NEW] In addition, we have implemented soft level caps to prevent the player from over leveling until they reach certain points in the game. Players can still gain experience, albeit at a very slow pace, once at the current level cap, but they can still gain EVs as normal, and use experience-gaining items like Rare Candies or Experience Candies as normal.​
  • Generation 6+ Exp Share is enabled by default to alleviate any tedious grinding that may have been required otherwise.​
• [UPDATED] General Quality of Life Changes!
  • Instead of having HM moves, they are locked behind nonessential Key Items you find in the story, and inaccessible areas can be unlocked by using them.​
  • [NEW] We’ve added an auto-run feature so that you don’t have to hold down a button to move at top speed anymore!​
  • [NEW] We’ve added a shiny new B/W style summary screen that will hopefully be much easier to read than the standard vanilla screen!​
  • [NEW] Pokemon Centers are now equipped with a Name Rater, Move Deleter, Move Relearner, and Time Changer for enhanced gameplay efficiency!​
  • [NEW] A town map to give you a general sense of direction of where you’re going!​
• [UPDATED] Pokémon Changes: In hopes of improving the viability of some Pokemon that normally would not see use at all, we have modified several Pokemon to make them much better candidates for your team (or your opponent’s). Some Pokemon have received much more drastic changes, gaining a shiny new regional form unique to the isles of Marya! Changes to their stats, typing, moveset, abilities, and appearances will be made to some special Pokemon.
  • The current list of Pokemon buffs can be found here. It is subject to change greatly in the future as we further balance the game and add more content to it!​
• [UPDATED] Pokémon Regional Forms: Some Pokemon have a shiny new regional form unique to the isles of Marya! Like the list of Pokemon changes, the number of regional Pokemons found here will also increase as we add more! For the time being, we don’t have a detailed list of which Pokemon have received regional forms, so hopefully, we’ll surprise you a bit! (You can check our changelog for the specifics if you’d like.)​

Known Bugs

• You may see incorrect names of a Pokemon, your experience bar incorrectly displaying how much experience you have, or blank ability boxes when they slide in. This is only a visual glitch.
• WARNING: Due to an unpredictable, unreplicable glitch that may very rarely (you might not even encounter this at all in a playthrough) softlock you when you attempt to interact with an NPC, we still recommend you save your game often. We apologize for any inconvenience that you may face, we are hoping to nail this one down as soon as possible.
• If you ever have any questions or concerns or have found a bug, please let the creators know on the game’s pokecommunity thread!
