Welcome to the Urseca region
You start your journey as the child of The Pharaoh about to begin your Challenge to see if you have what it takes to lead the region. Every 40 years, the region holds a competition where they send out one youth from every town out to conquer the Gyms. The ones who defeat all 17 will be allowed to enter The Pyramid and face off against one another for a chance to face The Pharaoh and if they win, they will become the new unquestioned ruler for the next 40 years. Do you have what it takes to climb the Pyramid?

- Normal mode, game as intended

This game started being built to kill time during Covid lockdowns but eventually became something I loved to do and craved to finish. I hope you all enjoy everyone!
The ONLY thing I think I have left to do is to create a post game. This is going to take a lot of time because I have only just started to conceptualize the idea. I think it's going to end up being another large project. As my plan is to build a giant underground region under the main region. This will be where you find a villain team and face the strongest trainers and pokemon I can come up with. Until then, enjoy a game that took me 34 hours to beat while using rare candies instead of leveling. It's a marathon, not a sprint!
KNOWN ISSUES:
1. Talk to the Nurse Joy after getting your starter to set your faint location. Just realized the issue but I am waiting to see what else people find before I fix.
