Story

You are a 13 year old boy/girl who's father owns a large company called EDGE Co. in the LUNOH REGION. One morning your father asks you to meet him at his office. There he asks you to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a POKéMON MASTER, because he never had the chance when he was younger. You accept and receive your very first POKéMON, an EEVEE!

And so your adventure begins! On the way you will meet many unique people, and face many challenges including the evil TEAM GENESIS who plan to release GIRATINA from the DISTORTION WORLD and use its power for world domination. Of course it's up you you to stop them, you are the protagonist after all.

  • Final event runs early on previous patches, newest patch fixes this issue.
  • GHOST's minisprite is glitchy. It seems to mess up many other minisprites if I fix it.
  • The messed up tiles in MUERTON CITY are not a glitch, you can "fix" them yourself after you have the 8th gym badge.
  • Cities are black when looking at the worldmap anywhere other than the fly map.
  • Sometimes when you find an item in a trash can, a person nearby will disappear for a second. I have no idea why this happens.
