### English

*As normal as everyone once thought, there are those called "Harmony Warriors," special Chosen Ones. Everyone was happy that they had someone to be protected by, until one day, it happened. Everything was broken apart, and a shadow has emerged.*

*When Shadow Nebula uses her dark powers to kidnap* *the Ancestral Deities and* *control them as her* *minions,* *they manage to use the last of their willpower to summon all the Harmony Warriors and potential allies from different eras and dimensions* *before they* *and most of the cilvians sccumbed to the darkness. Now, the truly ultimate battle has begun...and* *our* *Harmony Warriors* *will learn the truth about not just themselves and the Multiverses, but also...something about Layla Roosevelt that not even she herself seems to realize...*

## Reception

While the game has gotten mostly positive reception, some players are annoyed that the strongest Harmony Warriors have much lower accuracy for their attacks. The creators say this is to make the game fair and prevent players from just breezing through the game.

## Version history

* Version 1.0 - Initial Release (November 4th, 2035)
* Version 1.5 - Minor patches (December 6th, 2035)

## Errors

* The *Elemaximum* Gauge is accidentally refered to as the *Mankai* Gauge in one scene, but this was fixed in the first patch of the game.
* A NPC at the Pokémon Nursery who gives the player an Eevee egg says that Eevee evolves from 8 different Pokémon, while she should say that it evolves into 8 different Pokémon. This was fixed in the first patch of the game.
* Mermaid Buzz's hair in a few scenes is blue like Marge Simpson instead of yellow. This was fixed in the first patch of the game.

## Behind the Scenes & Cut Contents

* There were different transformation sequences in the teaser and trailer, but both were scrapped for the finalized game.
* The creators of the game were ordered by the Pokémon Company International and Nintendo of America to either edit Angel Wing to wear clothes at the climax of the game in all non-Japanese releases, or be banned from international release completely. They objected that her lack of clothes is supposed to represent her pure heart, but the PCI and NOA did not care and thus the creators complied.
* Originally, all of the characters were to be controlled, but it was deemed a bad idea, as there would not even be a game to play.

## Differences in Characters and Transformations

* The eye style is changed to take elements from YouTuber BronyBoy5463's Gacha Club main heroine eye style.
* The Harmony Scarves now appear and are worn by the Harmony Warriors.
* If playing as a "top tier" Harmony Warrior (such as Nanette, Bailey, Jim, Amber, Blissany, Whitely, Nina, Bloom, Kylie, Ella, Aurea, Usagi, lead pink Cures, etc) the player's attacks will be more powerful in their transformed state - except that their accuracy is significantly reduced to prevent the player from just effortlessly breezing through the game and make it fair, and Katrina (or any wielders of the Divinity's power for that matter) isn't playable at all.
* Some color schemes are changed:
	+ Bloom doesn't wear blue and pink like usual, instead wearing red and orange to match her fire theme.
	+ Fora's theme colors are swapped: pink is now her sub color while green is her main color.
	+ Stella's secondary color changes from purple to blue.
* Characters with different names when reborn are combined with their original counterparts. Their names, unless they're an official NPC, are also changed.

## Differences between the frachises and the game

* All of the birthmarks when glowing don't often give out side-effects.
* One of the excessive arguments that could get the player into trouble was accidentally left in. This was removed in the first patch in the game.

## Trivia

* The custom playable characters from SBTG return, now with a bigger role. It is also revealed they once lived a normal life in the real world.
	+ Despite not even being turned into a Pokémon, the player character chosen out of the two will have no memory. This may be a PMD easter egg.

* Emi and Amia don't exist in the game, as they were created specifically for the animated adaptation. They are instead replaced by Daniel and Norie, and vice versa for the anime.
* Numerous players have posted tutorials online showing how to use cheating devices to cheat, such as cheating to play as Katrina/Glitter Starburst, get event items and Pokémon, make Elizabeth become Angel Wing at will, remove the reduced accuracy for powerful Harmony Warriors, and so on. The creators tried to get these videos taken down, but YouTube refused due to it technically being free speech. The cheaters eventually complied and took the videos down themselves.
* Each of the teasers are done in 2D animation with 3D backgrounds and effects.
