Pokemon Investiture is a fangame made in RPG Maker XP using Pokémon Essentials V21.1 and MKXP. It features the brand new region of Nalsia, inspired by the works of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere and specifically the worlds of Roshar from the Stormlight Archive and Scadrial from Mistbron.

No knowledge of the books is necessary to enjoy. This is a region inspired by the worlds and concepts, rather than a retelling of their stories.

This is not your first journey.

You've already achieved the status of champion back in your home region. After being out of the limelight, Pokémon League Headquarters has requested you to help assess a brand new region's Pokemon League. Posing as a brand-new trainer, you'll travel to the Nalsia region to take on its gym challenge and mold it into your ideal Pokémon League.

The Nalsia Region

Until recently, the Nalsia region was divided in two halves until the establishment of the Pokémon League unified the region. The Rosh people of the west strongly believe in traditional bonds with Pokémon and living in harmony with them. This stands in contrast with the Scadan people of the east who see advanced technology as the way to unlock a Pokémon's true potential. Now, Nalsia exists as a tenuous region. Additionally, there are some who seek to split the region apart to what it once was. Team Rift lurks in the shadows, disguising themselves as civilians to better spread mistrust and fear.​



Features:

A brand new region to explore with a curated dex of 285 classic Pokémon and, by the time of completion, 115 Fakemon and regional variants based on the worlds of Roshar and Scadrial.

Select your home region and gain a unique buff, see new interactions, and in the final release have a full questline with that region's champion!

Review your gym experiences and watch as your advice changes how they behave and fight later on.

Take on battles against powerful Boss Pokémon across a myriad of sidequests!
Sidequests include investigations into strange Pokémon behavior and environments, quests that reveal deeper insight into the characters you mee, and just helping the people of Nalsia at large.

Development details
Hello all, I'm Hadron and this is my first fangame project, evolving out of an orignal PTU campaign I planned and my love for both Pokémon and the Cosmere! I'm hoping to eventually deliver a game that honors both inspirations and provides a fun experience for fans of both.

The first demo that plays up through Gym 2 out of 10 is planned to be release February 17, 2026, following a private playtest. Following that, I intend to open up recruitment to help develop this game into a full experience.


Social Media
Fakemon and region details will be posted to the instagram page @nalsia_region starting the week of February 10, 2026.
Following the demo release, the discord server for the game will go live as well.
