The game uses the classic top-down Pokémon structure with turn-based battles. Players explore towns, routes, caves, and grassy areas, catching monsters, training a team, and challenging gym leaders. This alpha build currently covers the opening three gyms, while the wider project is intended to expand the region, story, and roster over time. Gameplay highlights include reusable TMs, revised experience gain, and a large set of redesigned Pokémon and Fakemon.

Player Character
The custom trainer controlled by the player, traveling through the Quetzal region to build a team and earn badges.
Gym Leaders
Major progression bosses who test team building, type matchups, and battle strategy.
Strategy
Build a balanced team early so you can handle a variety of type matchups. With reusable TMs, it is worth investing in key utility and coverage moves for your main battlers. Since this alpha covers only the first three gyms, focus resources on 3 to 4 reliable Pokémon rather than spreading levels too thin.

Tips and tricks

- Keep type coverage broad to avoid getting stuck by a single matchup.
