===Crossbreeding===
Pokémon gain new appearances, types, and movesets based on Pokémon that they are bred with. This is heavily dependent on who the father Pokémon is whereas the mother Pokémon determines what the offspring is. For example, breeding a male Raichu with a female Mienshao will create an egg which hatches to become a Mienfoo that is both Electric-type and Fighting-type. Fully-evolved crossbred Pokémon are not known to Mega Evolve.
Crossbred Pokémon may be bred with Ditto to pass on their new form, as well.
===Type Matchup===
*Bug-type moves do neutral damage to Ghost-type Pokémon.
*Bug-type moves are now super-effective against Fairy-type Pokémon.
*Ice-type Pokémon now resist Flying-type moves.

==Region==
 
:Main Article: /Region/
The region in which the game takes place is named Ishua and is based on Hong Kong. In the region, the player will see many reflections of Chinese culture. The northern area of the region is a forested area, though the player moves east into a low-lying rocky area. The central area of the region is mountainous, the northeastern is swampy, the southern is urban (and rural along its outskirts), and the extra two islands on the west are both plains.
The player starts out in a small town named Maogen Town. As one will learn while they play throughout the game, all of the towns in the region are named after types of plants in Cantonese, Mandarin, or other notable dialects of Chinese languages. Gym challenges are located in eight different towns in the game, and the player can finally travel to the Pokémon League which is located on a separate stretch of land.
