Some challenge

If they are not what you have known for so long, what do you think? What if something else is the true master, instead? If everything else came from a lost civilization and its information cannot be found even in many history books, what do you do? There is something that stays in the shadow. It wants to punish mankind or something like that…. Ehhh, I sense a little bit of uncommon here. You are a normal student among the students who are studying at the Pokemon Academy Of Seuld Region. One day, you got the information that you have to go to Dorua Region and research about something… maybe it is related to “that thing.”

OFFICIAL INTEL

  • A new Region Dorua.
  • New Regional Pokedex with many Pokemon from the later generations.
  • The soundtracks are now implemented.

LOG ENTRY: DORUA REGION INCIDENT

Explorer: DexHunter Ace (LVL. 100)
Location: Pokemon Academy of Seuld / Dorua Region
Mission Clock: 12 Hours (Aborted)

THE POKEDEX SITUATION

I entered this region with my standard equipment: 500 Ultra Balls, a spreadsheet optimized for efficiency, and a dream of a 100% Living Dex. Immediately, the local fauna threw my calculations into chaos. We are dealing with Fakemon here, people. Unregistered biological entities. My Pokedex is screaming at me. Some of these creatures have evolution lines that defy standard biological laws.

I attempted to catalog the local wildlife, but the data is fragmented. The region claims to have Pokemon from later generations, which is a relief, but the integration of these "Fakemon" creates a completionist's nightmare. How am I supposed to know if "Doruan Geodude" evolves at level 25 or with a specific stone if the documentation doesn't exist? I spent three hours grinding in the tall grass looking for a 1% encounter rate, only to realize the encounter tables might be broken.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANOMALIES

The region of Dorua is unstable. The locals (NPCs) speak in riddles—literally. The translation matrix seems to be malfunctioning, resulting in dialogue that barely resembles human speech. It adds a layer of surreal horror to the expedition, but not the good kind. I found myself wandering through towns where the geometry felt... unfinished.

WARNING: This region is currently in a "Beta 1" state. This is not a complete world. Do not attempt a full expedition expecting a Hall of Fame entry.

QUALITY OF LIFE (OR LACK THEREOF)

I looked everywhere for the essentials. Link Cable item is available in Department Store. Huge W.—wait, scratch that. I wish I could say that. The item distribution is erratic. I couldn't find a reliable source for evolution stones, meaning my Eevee is stuck in limbo. For a completionist, this is torture. You give me a new region and lock the tools I need to conquer it behind unfinished code?

The soundtrack is admittedly a step up from the standard chiptunes, utilizing some advanced instrumentation, but I can't enjoy the music when I'm worrying about a corrupted save file. I encountered several "Glitch City" phenomena where textures overlapped. It makes Shiny Hunting incredibly risky. Imagine finding a shiny Fakemon and the game freezes. I'd break my device.

THE VERDICT

I cannot work under these conditions. My neurological need for 100% completion is being starved. The story about "Shadows" and "Lost Civilizations" is intriguing, but until the boundaries of this world are fully rendered, it is a trap for explorers like me. I hit a roadblock that I assume is the end of the current content, leaving my Pokedex at a pitiful 15%.

Missable event warning! Save before entering the cave. Actually, save every 5 steps. The threat level of crashing is higher than the threat level of the Gym Leaders.
