Released Pokémon Roam

About​

Welcome to the Jela region, the largest island of an archipelago southwest of Hoenn.
Jela is bisected by a volcanic mountain chain that prevents precise navigation at large distances.
Only professionals are allowed to Fly, Teleport, Dig and the like. Regular everyday trainers have to
rely on their services or their own two feet to explore the vast region.

Jela is realized in this game on an unusual scale. While there are cities, they are much more city-sized,
and they are not the only points of civilization across the region. Routes are dotted with small villages,
each with someone in need of assistance and a gate leading to some secret behind the village.

Your adventure in Jela won't follow any one large overarching plot. Rather, you will meet people along the
way that each have their own story to tell, sometimes intersecting in surprising ways. And the people you
meet on your journey might not be the same people someone else meets on their own journey in Jela.

Features​

• nearly all battles are double battles
• pokemon battles drop items used for crafting, this completely replaces the normal economy
