Pokémon Metro

Pokémon Metro is an upcoming 3D Semi-open-World Role-Playing Game for the Nintendo Switch and is a somewhat sequel to the 2022 release, Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Like its predecessor, Metro is an Open-World mainline Pokémon game with a free controlling camera however contrasting to the more naturalistic setting of Legends: Arceus, Metro focuses on an urbanized mega city as well as shifts to the general gameplay to more differentiate the sub-series from the core mainline.
==Story==
The game takes place in the Shiki Region, a somewhat temperate region that's dominated by the massive Higuma City one of the largest cities in the Pokémon World covering most of the region. The player's journey has them in the role of a Student in the school of Pokémon Research where the region's Professor, Professor Cattail studies the effects of urbanization on Pokémon species and how humans can improve the relationship between urban life and Pokémon lifestyles.
The player's primary goal throughout the game is to explore the region in search of the various Pokémon that live throughout the city and on its fringes, documenting their lifestyles. Along the way the player gets caught up in the goings on of a strange organization known as the Thorned Perennial who push to take over and remove the developed region's infrastructure believing that there is no way for humans and Pokémon to co-exist in an urban setting.
The player is free to progress through the game's major boss battles which are its substitutes for Gyms in any order, the teams of these boss trainers change and become more difficult as the player progresses. By defeating enough bosses the player will gradually unlock tools and events that further open up the map and progress through the story, the player will find throughout the game there are various natural blockades and areas locked off to the player in one way or another and will be able to access them through the progression of the plot.
As the player encounters these events they'll learn more about the Thorned Perennial and its growing influence in the region as encounters with the group show them giving speeches and expressing the importance of keeping the natural world separate from the human world, believing that the human world has a negative impact on Pokémon. The player also comes to blows with the group several times, each time learning more about how the various higher members of the organization, known as the Executives view the situation and believe that only through eliminating the various businesses that have grown Higuma City into what it is can Pokémon truly live peacefully as their existence encourages the expansion of the human world.

==Gameplay==
The gameplay of Pokémon Metro consists of a semi-open-world 3D exploration where the player controls their character as they explore the region. The game has the region split up into sub-areas connected by a fast travel system known as the Higuma Subway in a similar vein to the Orre Region from Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness. The game also features a free-moving camera allowing the player to shift their point of view, in addition the game offers the option for a first-person perspective should the player so choose.
===Frenzy Battle System===
The Frenzy Battle System is a new system introduced in the Pokémon series, it works off the premise of a more chaotic and less predictable battle system, the mechanic only appears during story mode and cooperative multiplayer. Frenzy Battle System changes several factors from the main game, firstly is that the number of Pokemon on either side of a battlefield is random, battlefields have a default of 1-3 which is referred to as the Battlefield Width although some areas expand up to 6, this refers to how many Pokemon can enter a battle at the start. As battles progress more Pokémon both friendly and adversarial may join to help or hinder the player.
The game uses a short-term learning AI for opponent Pokémon where they will learn how best to deal with the player, for wild Pokémon this AI is specific to each Pokémon on the field and there is no communication while trainer's Pokémon communicate with one another as a singular Trainer AI which will learn at different rates. In addition there is a Battle Director AI which can choose when to add additional Pokémon or cause random events during battles which shift up the field in various ways.
In addition the Speed Stat's function has changed, the game now uses a ATB system, by default this is set to Turn-based in that the player has as much time as they like when it's their turn to select actions for their Pokémon, however there is also an option to turn it to Real-Time which allows the player to stack actions on Pokémon and makes the battles much faster but also more difficult as a result. The Speed Stat now determines how many Tics are required for a Pokémon's turn, the number of Tics required has an exponential decay relative to the Speed Stat (such that low speeds have significant Tic variation while higher speeds have low Tic variation). The Tic minimum caps at 50 Tics/Turn for sake of balance.
===SOS Battles===
Returning from Pokémon Sun & Moon, SOS Battles appear in Pokémon Metro as a way for regular battles to be spiced up. Unlike in Pokémon Sun & Moon however, the parameters for a Pokémon to call for SOS vary from Pokémon to Pokémon and are specifically intended to be able to be avoided by the player if they're careful. In addition only some Pokémon will use SOS during a battle. The SOS can be triggered up to five times during a battle with the fifth time guaranteeing a rare encounter, although rare encounters can occur on the 1st through 4th as well.
===Catching Mechanics===
Catching Mechanics are largely the same as they are in Pokémon Legends Arceus in which the player is able to capture Pokémon without engaging in Battle, however the system has been greatly expanded and Catching in Battle has also returned with some new features over the original system.
In the Overworld Pokémon have two gauges known as Alertness and Stamina, the former is how aware the Pokémon is, Alertness is determined by how aware that Pokémon is of the player, at maximum alertness a Pokémon will either attempt to engage the player in battle or flee, this varies based on the Pokémon species (which have set Flee value which uses the Pokémon Nature to determine if it meets the threshold to flee or not). Stamina meanwhile is how energetic the Pokémon is, Pokémon that have been chased by the player will tire although if they get far away they'll disappear or in other instances attempt to engage the player as mentioned prior, Pokémon also exhaust stamina naturally through movement although can replenish stamina through Eating, Drinking and Resting where the former two will make a Pokémon's alertness rise much more quickly and the latter resets their alertness unless the player makes a loud noise.
The lower the Alertness and Stamina the easier it is for the player to capture a Pokémon, the rate varies from Pokémon to Pokémon and some Pokémon are very difficult to catch using this method, so it is often easier albeit more challenging from a resource standpoint to catch a Pokémon in battle.
Through battling the player can catch a Pokémon as it were in the main series, however unlike previous games in the series, the number of Pokémon on the field does not affect the ability for the player to capture a Pokémon, the player can freely use a PokéBall on any wild Pokémon in a battle even if there's more than one in Pokémon Metro although the trade-off is that these Pokémon have a lower probability of capture due to the additional Pokémon and that like in regular battles this consumes a player's turn leaving their Pokémon vulnerable to attack from the other Pokémon.

==Shiki Region==
The Shiki Region is quite unlike other Pokémon Regions, rather than being many smaller settlements connected by Routes or large open area, the region is instead a highly developed mega city known as Higuma City. The region can generally be broken up into ten sub-areas within the city which are somewhat of a mix between both the settlements of the original series and the Routes of those games. Each Sub-Area has several points of interest as well as unique areas where wild Pokémon can be found.
Sub-Area 	Places of Interest 	Description
Titanskreb Heart 	Higuma PortsStarbrim TowerMagevoy JunctionGlittering Dpt. StoreBereki Parklands	The heart of Higuma City, the sprawling metropolis of high-rises and skyscrapers that has the Higuma River weave between it. Titanskreb is generally recognized as the Business District of the region, many businesses establish themselves and the City's largest Department Store can be found in the sub-area. The density of the area also means that most people travel through the bridges and underground passages that connect between the various hubs, numerous Pokémon are known to appear around the area in particular Flying-Type Pokémon who use the high-rises as a safe location to roost and nest.
Starlina Valley 	Starlina TempleHidden Village 	One of the few undeveloped areas in the region, the Starlina Valley is home to many Pokémon and filled with ancient ruins from long ago when the region was split between many smaller factions. the predominant Starlina Ruins are where the sub-area gets its name from and many come to pay their respects to the ancient Pokémon that protected the land. Some even go on pilgrimages through the mountainous valley to visit and pray at the shrines dotted along the valley's walls.
Prigoma Suburbs 	Bijoublade EstateThe Safari ZoneResearch Labs 	The Prigoma Suburbs, also referred to as West-Burbs by some is a residential area situated on the West side of the region, it is the player's starting location and is generally quite relaxed and peaceful with numerous green spaces to allow wild Pokémon to co-exist with the residents. This is particularly important as the nearby Safari Zone is home to a wide number of Pokémon that aren't seen anywhere else in the region and are known to sometimes end up wandering the suburbs, as such a culture has often developed around handling these various wild Pokémon with special gates used to prevent the Wild Pokémon from roaming about. The sub-area is also home to Prof. Cattail, the region's leader on Pokémon research.
Svyasya Mountains 	Vershitel CampusPustan Graveyard 	The mountainous, westernmost sub-area of the region, Svyasya Mountains is a high altitude area where those experienced in fields of research gather to acquire greater knowledge and share their learnings with one another. It's believed that long ago the now centuries old University at the heart of the campus grounds was built by a Seer and their Pokémon in honour of higher forces. As such rumours have circulated around about the area having mystical properties with many a strange shop found on the corner of the streets and the Graveyard in the south of the sub-area being considered haunted.
Tanehinka Plaza 	Svetroz CavernsRadoval CircusTanehinka Lake 	An eerily beautiful sub-area, the Tanehinka Plaza is located in the South-West of the region and is frequently blanketed in snow and frost as a result of hits rough topography and a massive underground ice core. As such the plaza enjoys many winter activities being available throughout the year as well as offering other forms of entertainment, many street performers often gather at the plaza in hopes of striking it big. The large underground caverns leading to the ice core are also a popular location as a result of strange energy within the caverns causing them to glow and reflect the light through icicles.
Yugrom Avenue 	Higuma Power PlantLucrat ArcadeBattle DomeOld QuarterLost Station 	The Yugrom Avenue is home to the main power source for the region, its power plant. As such the sub-area had developed originally as an independent city before merging with Higuma City proper, the culture is quite different as a result with many of its attractions using electricity to its full potential. However, just as there is much energy in the newer, lively attractions the Avenue is also home to the calm and peaceful, winding streets of the old city who've become a bit of a heritage site for the sub-area as it shows a history into the lifestyle of the people from long ago.
Torgolna Suburbs 	Kletyre GardensPolhoy Dig SiteMalitarod VillageVolgander Ports 	The main Eastern Suburbs of Higuma City, known for its generally drier climate compared to the rest of the region it is regarded as an important lifeline for the rest of the city as the relatively flat terrain allows for easy transportation of goods to and from the Higuma River and more importantly the trading ports nestled along its banks. In the North of the Sub-Area one of the settlements that existed before the unification of the region has become a popular tourist attraction due to the festive beliefs held within the village and its distinct walled-off exterior.
Stroiret Industrial	Utymya ForgeRosel BoundaryMetaniya HallTsarlaya Castle 	The industrial sector of Higura City, this sub-area is known for the many large factories that cover it, although many have been converted over the years into more friendly buildings for both people and Pokémon, their exteriors serve as a reminder of what had once been. Some of the old factories still operate although under more controlled circumstances and provide refined materials used for all sorts of services across the region. Notably the sub-area is also quite close to the boundary of the region and as such wild Pokémon from well beyond the reach of the region can be found wandering into the city from this sub-area, in addition it is often easiest for travellers to visit the royal castle of the city where the old Tsars of the region after its initial unification lead their people.
Radubo Railyard 	Grand StationTower of PredelOperatic Ring 	The main junction for the transport in Higura City, the Radubo Railyard is a bit of an isolated area, less built-up than others it is predominantly home to the workers on the railway who maintain the tracks and help keep Pokémon away. The aged appearance of the area also gives it a bit of a historical appearance although modern innovations have cropped up over the years giving the aged appearance a contrast to more modern design, most notably in the large ringed roads around the entertainment district that sits squarely North-East of the city's center.
Rasprost Glade 	Weddenbrun CastlePokeTV StudiosVerdentia GreenhouseBotanical DomeDzhunye Park 	The most naturalistic of the sub-areas, Raprost Glade is also one of the youngest, having developed out of the old Raprost Town which was one of the last areas to formerly join Higura City, the glade is much less densely populated than other areas allowing for many more green spaces and more natural environments, it's not uncommon for major roads to simply give way to dense forest for a stretch before tapering off back to a semi-urban sprawl. Perhaps notably is the development of this area, seeking to differentiate itself from the other sub-areas to not become absorbed into Higura completely but also lacking the rich history of the southern sub-areas, Rasprost instead opted to create these green spaces, the area was previously predominantly farmland with only the town's centre standing out. The land was repurposed and is generally recognized as the key distinguishing feature for the area.
