Story

Trailer - Adventure as a Pokemon
One day you, a human, wake up as a Pokemon in a world seemingly only inhabited by Pokemon. The mystery of how you became a Pokemon and how you are able to understand and talk with all the Pokemon you meet is something you work towards solving with the friends you meet along the way.

Story Teams Cooperate
The world you wake up in has its own share of problems, like an increasing number of natural disasters and the appearance of the so-called Mystery Dungeons. The Pokemon you first meet when you wake up will become your partner, and the two of you will form your very own Rescue Team to help Pokemon in trouble and solve the many mysteries surrounding you.

Trailer - Bulletin Board
The Mystery Dungeons change whenever you enter them, so every adventure is unique, and endless rewards are waiting for you. As your Rescue Team grows, more Pokemon will rely on you, and some of them may even join you in your adventures!
