Synopsis
After the passing of Professor Regis Chen at age 89, his son Professor Reiner takes on his final request: uncover the mystery behind Pokémon shynisation in the Unium region. Reiner sets up a new lab there, bringing his entire team—including your father. As a newly recruited young Pokémon researcher, it’s your job to join your family and colleagues in investigating the strange phenomenon spreading through the Pokémon world.
Description
In this new Pokémon adventure, you’ll experience the world from a fresh perspective—where non-shiny Pokémon are the true rarity. With a reverse shiny rate, it’s the regular forms that have become nearly extinct, turning shiny-hunting on its head.
The game offers a full Pokémon experience, complete with a classic Pokémon League journey, Pokédex completion, a main storyline with post-game content, side quests, legendary Pokémon encounters, and even a World Championship where you’ll battle League champions from every official region.
Features
- All Pokémon are shiny by default, with reversed shiny rates—making regular forms the rare collectible.
- Mew is available early through a side quest (around the Surf stage), allowing extended use.
- Includes Physical/Special split and Fairy type, along with select moves from Gen 4 to Gen 8.
- Features 386 catchable Pokémon handpicked from Gens 1–8, based on Smogon OU/UU tiers. Most trade evolutions are now level-based (explained in-game).
- A main storyline with a deep theme and post-game content, offering around 40 hours of gameplay. The League marks only 1/3 of the full story.
- Set in a brand-new region with more explorable areas than Kanto and Johto combined.
- Difficulty ramps up gradually: early game is beginner-friendly, while later stages offer tough strategic challenges with no need for grinding or Nuzlocke rules.
- New music imported from Pokémon Emerald for added variety.
- A few rare Fakemon:
- A custom starter trio representing Tank, Stall, and Sweep roles (not Water/Grass/Fire). These are mostly exclusive to the beginning of the game.
- Uncatchable boss Pokémon with enhanced stats, created using AI and awarded after completing the main quest.
- After the intro, you can pick from 12 classic starters (from Gens 1, 3, 7, and 8), or choose a random Pokémon instead.
Changelog – What’s NEW in v2.0!
- It is now possible to run in buildings (it’s less realistic, but really very practical)
- a 2nd Mewtwo was added to my game so that it would be possible to obtain it BEFORE facing the final villain base.
- The two completely useless VOL destinations now have a utility with a sort of mini-quest (especially useful for those who are before the league)
- All items carried by wild Pokémon have been rechecked and corrected compared to the original games. In addition to this correction, I added the fact that all wild Pokémon now have a 10% chance of carrying an item instead of 0% in the original games (often berries, but also much better).
