Story
Pokémon Alexandrite takes place beore Gurkinn's research of Mega Evolution, well before it is understood and researched by Pokémon guru's around the world. The story follows the adventure of our protagonist's progression in Cardino's Pokémon League. They attempt to acquire 8 badges and eventually challenge the Elite Four and Champion much along the vein of a traditional Pokémon adventure. Along the way there will be conflict with Team Rocket and their influences across the Cardino Region, the story revolves around the impacts of these actions by Rocket and the player's role in protecting the region alongside their father Prof. Yew and their close friend Brett. Players will discover the impact of these changes and the character developments alongside it with variances in the development and story based on the player's actions.
