Pokémon: Innocent Soul
"An innocent soul never dies."
I'm finally back with a new game. It's been quite some time. This one is a bit shorter than my other games and takes a wildly different approach to the progression system. Since I tried something totally new, I hope this game sets the new standard for my series going forward. It's heavy on the story and dialogue, so if you don't like that, well... that's that.
New/Updated Features
Innocent Soul uses Pokémon Essentials v21!
A Brand-New Region - Welcome to the Ryoku region, a completely new region, based off of a few prefectures in Japan.
Multiple Protagonists - What, really? Yes! You'll be able to see how they interact with others!
Shared Item Storage - With multiple protagonists, how will you share items between characters? Well, talk to the Move Master to access the Item Storage. You can deposit an item in the Item Storage, and the other protagonist can take it out and place it into their Bag. Simple, right?
Alternate Game Modes Return - As usual, I've included more game modes. There are three, the Single Pokémon Run, Radical Mode, and Oger Mode.
Generation 9 Mechanics and Pokémon - My game uses Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's mechanics and Pokémon. This includes both DLCs.
1,025 Pokémon - Just to clarify, every single Pokémon is in Innocent Soul. No dexcuts here.
Older Quality of Life Features Retained - Toggleable Exp. Share, turning off battle animations, and a full options menu are in Innocent Soul too.
The Full Generation 9 TM List, plus Reusable TMs - Yes, my game has 229 TMs, just like in Gen 9. However, they are usable as much as you'd like.
The Move Master Returns Once Again - A mainstay of my games, the Move Master returns again. He can make a Pokémon remember moves, forget moves, check their friendship, teach them the move Return (since it's not deleted here, why would it be?), and help you with hatching Eggs via the Nursery.
Overworld Encounters, If You'd Like - It's up to you. Do you like random encounters? You can keep it that way. Do you want overworld encounters? Use any of the items that come from Pokémon Let's Go, those being the Lure, Super Lure, and Max Lure! Not only do they allow overworld encounters for a set amount of steps, but they raise the wild Pokémon's levels and they slightly increase the Shiny rate.
HM Items - They take a slightly less important role in Innocent Soul, but they are still there.
Markings - You know those markings on Pokémon in Gen 8 and Gen 9 that no one really pays attention to? They're in Innocent Soul too! Why not see if the Pokémon you caught has a special marking of its own?
Trade Evolutions. They're Still Here, but... - Don't panic. You can trade with your partner at any hangout spot, and it's as easy as a single call on the Pokégear.
Poké Ball Swapping - If you have the appropriate Poké Ball, you can swap a Poké Ball that a Pokémon is caught in with another one. Of course, if that Poké Ball happens to be a Luxury Ball, it won't affect the Pokémon's friendship. Nice try! But it's good for people who like having a certain "theme".
DexNav - The DexNav is available and can be used to search for Pokémon that have previously been seen or captured. This allows Pokémon with Hidden Abilities and Egg Moves to be found easily.
Crafting? Here?! - Once you reach a certain point, crafting will become available. The player can craft old Poké Balls: the ones seen many, many years ago in the Hisui region. Wild Pokémon will start dropping crafting materials as well. Craft away with the Crafting Kit anywhere, anytime.
What's Missing... - Unfortunately, due to conflicts with the scripts I was using, Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terastallization are not in Innocent Soul and will not be added.
The Ryoku Region
Yes, the region really is that big. While the northeast section of the region is unexplored and unpopulated, there are five prefectures, those being Shutocho, Kaiyou Prefecture, Shizuka Prefecture, Kaede Prefecture, and Yashinoki Prefecture.
The Story
Innocent Soul starts a new timeline for my games. Therefore, nothing in this game is connected to any of my past games. If there are some unanswered questions, then they may just be answered someday. But probably not anytime soon.

Guide
Look, I understand. Some parts of my game may be confusing, considering how many items and Pokémon there are. I made a guide that covers certain things about my game. No story is included, though.
Take a look at the guide here.
