Myth and legend

# **New Features**

**Time Travel**: One of the most unique aspects of *Myth and Legend* is the ability to time travel to different eras. Time travel is possible using the "time shards" which are portions of an unknown material which can transport anyone holding it into a particular space in time. For more information on time-traveling and the time shards, please see the Time Travel section.
**Ages in Time**: Players can use Time Shards to visit different ages in time. Each age has its own characteristics and environment. Players can visit ages to perform certain tasks, catch different Pokemon, and learn about the history of the Pokemon world. However, unlike within the Modern Age (the current setting), they can freely explore the world and are confined to the general area where the player visited. In addition, it is impossible to visit all the ages within a general area. One particular area may allow visits to between 1 and 5 ages. For more information, please see the time-travel section.
**New Type: Divine**: *Myth and Legend* introduces an entirely new type called Divine. This type tends to be reserved for Pokemon who are angelic or of celestial design such as Cresselia and Arceus. Divine typing is unique as it has no strengths of weaknesses to other types. Instead, the Divine type powers up the primary or secondary non-Divine type. This means that a Divine/Fire dual-typing does 4x more damage to Grass, Bug, and Ice but also takes 4x damage from Water, Ground, and Rock. Various Pokemon such as Arceus is retyped to Divine/Normal, Cressellia is retyped to Psychic/Divine. Others include Milotic being Water/Divine and the Chansey line being retyped to Normal/Divine.
**Ancestor Forms**: Ancestor Forms are the forms of Pokemon found within the current Modern Age which had adapted to live in older Ages. This adaption led to Pokemon having different moves, different abilities, and even different types. In fact, players can transport themselves to the Ancient Age where dinosaur-like Pokemon roamed to find the living breathing fossil Pokemon from previous games such as Kabuto and Kabutops who not gains a new ability but becomes a Water and Bug type instead of Rock and Water typing. For more information regarding Ancestor Forms, please read the Ancestor Forms section.
**Over 75 new Pokemon**: It wouldn't be a Pokemon game with entirely new Pokemon! There will be over 75 new Pokemon that can be obtained within the Prottos Region as well as within its past! For more information on the new Pokemon, please read the New Pokemon section.
**New Characters**: Entirely new (and maybe returning) faces pop up while traveling Prottos! The region itself is composed of any cultures with a rich traditional history so make sure you get to know the locals!
**Prottos Region**: Players can explore the expansive Prottos Region! The Prottos Region is governed by eight city-states with Irinni and Dynammi making the two strongest powers. Each city-state has its own unique culture, power, and value within Prottos. For example, the city-state Dynammi focuses on a strong military, Irinni focuses on research and philosophy, Plosious focuses on its commercial power, and Oreino focuses on agriculture production. In addition to the city-states, smaller villages and towns lie on the outskirts. For more information on the Prottos Region, please around it in the Prottos Region section.
**Oracles**: In *Pokemon* games leading up to *Pokemon X & Y*, players did battle against Gym Leaders and in *Pokemon Sun & Moon*, players participated in Captain trials and faced the four Kahunas. Instead, players face off against 8 Oracles who hold power within the eight city-states. They are found on the highest location of the city-state called an Acropolis. There the Oracle issues quests needed to complete in order to defeat them. For more information on the Oracle and Acropolis system, please read about it in its own section.
**New Moves and Abilities**: Like in any *Pokemon* game, players can discover new abilities and moves. Certain Ancestor Pokemon will gain new moves and abilities as well. To read more about the new abilities, please read the New Ability section. For more information on new moves, please read the New Moves section.
**Improved Graphics**: This is the first main series *Pokemon* game to be featured on a console. The game boasts impressive graphics in comparison to previous *Pokemon* games but the team still focused on keeping them in-line with previous installments.
**Pokélympics**: One of the oldest sporting events in the world, the Pokélympics is a multi sporting event invoking Pokémon and trainers from all around the world. Here, they demonstrate their abilities and strength in a multitude of competitions to gain the Gold Medal!
**Conditioning**: Conditioning is a new gameplay feature where players can send their Pokémon to one of the many Training Gyms in a city. There, they can work on various exercise regiments to increase their strength, dexterity, speed, endurance, and reaction time.

# **Setting & Plot**

 **Starting Out...****Professor Fir**: “Hello there, wary trainer from a foreign land. Welcome to the grand Prottos region.”
**Professor Cypress**: “Oh put a sock in it. This whipper-snapper doesn’t want to heat your long winded grandstanding.”
**Professor Fir**: “Well, not everyone enjoys your brand of rudeness, Professor Cypress. Need I remind you we both agreed to this?”
**Professor Cypress**: “Bah, all you Irinni people do is think and think yet no action!”
**Professor Fir**: “And people of Dynammi would have us jump back into a civil war just for fun. I digress though. Here we are arguing and this poor trainer has no inclination of what we are discussing about.”
**Professor Cypress**: “Oh yeah, I forgot we had a new trainer coming from....where are you from again?”
**Trainer Character**:
* **Kanto**
* **Johto**
* **Hoenn**
* **Shinnoh**
* **Unova**
* **Kalos**
* **Alola**
* **Galar**

**Kanto -** **Professor Cypress**: “Ah Kanto. I suppose you know Professor Oak then? Me and him are war buddies, you know? He might not look it but he was a literal artist on the battlefield! I suppose he has grown soft in his old age.”
**Johto -** **Professor Fir**: “Professor Elm might not look it but he is a fierce researcher. He could research, write, and publish his findings within a fortnight! He is considered the lead expert on breeding in Pokémon. Johto is truly a gem and I admire the cultural and historical importance of the region.”
**Professor Birch -** **Professor Cypress**: “Heh heh. Professor Birch or, as I like to say, Professor Pork. I guess his girth is good comparison on his knowledge of Pokémon habitats. He has published dozens of books on the subject. Too bad he doesn’t burn calories while writing. We aren’t as hot as Hoenn but maybe that’s good news for you.”
**Shinnoh -** **Professor Fir**: “Professor Rowan is as picky as he is smart. He possesses keen knowledge on Pokémon evolution and even outranks our prestigious Professor Oak. He is the master of Pokémon evolutions. We don’t get much snow save for up in the mountains. I’m sure you will fit well there.”
**Unova -** **Professor Cypress**: “Eh, Unova is all fluff and no substance. Those neon signs and crowds give me headaches. Professor Juniper is quite the looker, huh heh heh. She is a trail blazer in the world of Pokémon research. I like reading her writings on Pokémon origins.”
**Kalos -****Professor Fir**: “Ah Kalos. It’s the fashion capital of the world. It’s a truly remarkable and lovely region. Especially the castles. I could walk the streets of Kalos for weeks. Professor Sycamore may seem young but he is truly remarkable. Especially in regards to his Mega Evolution research. It’s because of him that we know so much about it!”
**Alola -** **Professor Cypress**: “Why did you leave? I heard the Alola Islands where pretty something! Blue waters, sandy shores, gorgeous weather! I might just go retire there bwahaha! I heard that kid Kikui is the professor there. He knows a thing or two about Pokémon attacks. I have never met him but I think we can get along just fine!”
**Galar -** **Professor Fir**: “You know, I’m actually a close friend of Professor Magnolia. We have collaborated with each other several times! She was the one who first published about the Dynnamax phenomenon! The Galar Region has had such an influence in the world! I’m glad we have someone like you here!”

*Once a location is chosen, the player can choose to either head to Irinni with Professor Fir or Dynammi with Professor Cypress*

**Professor Fir**: “Now fear Trainer from (insert selected location). Now is the time to decide where you want to go to Irinni with me or to Dynammi with Professor Cypress. Choose wisely as it will affect which set of started you can select from.”
**Professor Cypress**: “Ah yeah, the starters. In Dynammi, you have three of them the usual. Here, take a look. You gots your Grass Starter, Bananaling. You have the Fire starter, Calflare. And you have your Water starter, Squidimple. I’ll get more into them should you come with me.”
**Professor Fir**: “And if you come to Irinni, you can select from the Grass starter, Puppunk, the Fire starter, Geckinder, and, finally, the Water starter Hydrony
**Professor Cypress**: “Here’s a helpful hint: Dynammi has the better starters.”
**Professor Fir**: That’s neither helpful or true. So, our beloved trainer, which one will you choose. Irinni?”
**Professor Cypress**: “Or Dynammi. Choose quickly. I have a roast in the oven.”
*Chooses Irinni...*

**Professor Cypress**: “Oh for...he chose poorly.”
**Professor Fir**: “Splendid! I knew you would choose the path of philosophy and understand! Now, we must travel to Irinni to get you set up with your new friend! And you should meet the other trainers, too! I also suggest we stop by the stylist so you can choose a defining look in order to present yourself. Presentation is key, so they say!”
**Professor Cypress**: “Trainer, I wish you luck and all that jazz. Remember that should you want to, you can get a Dynammi starter should you complete a set of difficult tasks. Come to me once you complete the entire Prottos Pokémon League.”
*If you choose Dynammi...*

**Professor Fir**: “Well, that’s your choice. I wouldn’t have but I’m not you.”
**Professor Cypress**: “Great! I knew you would pick the side of strength and skill! We will take that body of yours and turn it into a weapon! Along with your Pokémon starter as well!”
**Professor Fir**: “Trainer, heed my words. Should you wish to have a Irinni Starter, you first mustbcomplete a set of difficult tasks. And then, only after you vanquish the Prottos Pokémon League! Once you do, seek me out and I will reward you!”

**Prottos Region**

**Prottos** is a region split between two conflicting major city-states, Irinni and Dynammi. Irinni values the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom though this sometimes causes ethical values to slip away. Dyanmmi values militaristic strength and physical prowess over wisdom. The Prottos Region is one of the oldest regions within the Pokemon world and has a rich yet convoluted history.
**Background**: The Prottos Region is one of the oldest regions within the Pokemon world and is widely seen as the birthplace of civilization, governance, and democracy which is used today. The Prottos Region is split between two states: Irinni and Dynammi. However, there are multiple city-states that each hosts their own Pokemon Gym and contributes to the regional Prottos League. However, both Irinni and Dynammi are the two most powerful city-states within Prottos as; by extension govern the region with the smaller city-state allying with one or the other.

# **Characters**

 File:Professorfir.png | **Professor Fir**
Professor Fir is the professor of the Irinni City-State and one of the professors of the the Prottos Region. She is rather aloof to issues outside of her interests and carries a sophisticated and intellectual atmosphere with her. She is not above ridiculing her colleague, Professor Cypress, and holds negative options of him and the Dynammi City-State. Her focus lies in understanding the minds and spirits of Pokémon.
 File:Professorcypress.png | **Professor Cypress**
This cranky geezer is the professor of Dynammi City-State and one of the professors of the Prottos Region. He is the veteran of many wars, in particular, the Prottos Civil War between Dynammi and Irinni. His main focus is the strength and endurance of Pokémon and studies Pokémon physiology. He begrudgingly works together with Professor Fir and openly holds disdain for the Irinni City-State.
Ever since the appearance of Time Rifts, he has shown immense interest in them and agrees with his colleague that they showed he studied more to avoid any time-related catastrophe. He openly rejects Team Chronos’ plans. He, alongside Dr. Fir, runs the Trainer Foreign Exchange Program.

# **Time Travel**

Players can find and capture unique forms of Pokemon called "Ancestor Forms". These forms represent the Pokemon how they appeared in a particular place in time. The players Pokemon are not affected by this shift in time however. But players can bring Ancestor Forms into the Modern Age.

## **Ages**

 **Ice Age**

The Ice Age was the cooling of the world with many of it being frozen but not in time. Certain Pokemon learned to evolve protection from the cold. Humanity sprang up in the beginning years of the Ice Age and developed means to survive.
