Introduction



As of now, there are two versions available for Pokemon Unbound. The first, a slightly older version, contains content up to just past the second Gym. If you are more of a casual Pokemon player, then this is the version I'd recommend for you. The second, a relatively newer version, showcases Unbound's new battle engine by granting unrestricted access to the Battle Frontier. This version was created in the format of a mobile game; meaning daily rewards, monthly distributions, and unlimited playtime. If you enjoy battling, then you'll find no shortage of things to do with the over 100 different possible battle combinations. With that being said, enjoy Pokemon Unbound!

Story

Welcome to the Borrius Region, a region rich in history. Many years ago the Borrius region fought a brutal war with the Kalos region. The people of the Borrius region summoned a dark force to help them defeat their enemies; however the war ended in defeat when the king of the Kalos region unleashed the ultimate weapon. With the war over, the dark force was sealed away never to be used again. However, many years later, an organization known simply as “The Shadows” seems bent on releasing the dark force once again. It’s up to you to stop them and save the Borrius region from ultimate destruction.

If you find a bug not mentioned, please report it in the hack's Discord channel Unfortunately, right now I do not have the need for any more Beta testers.Yes. Courtesy of the Complete FireRed Upgrade Yes, but only in the Battle Frontier Demo.Gen 8are implemented in the Battle Frontier Demo.Their data will be in the game once the DPE is updated, but they will likely not be obtainable in the main game. There is a chance I'll make them accessible in the Battle Frontier demo, but a Rom Hack with 809 Pokemon already poses quite the challenge for Pokemon placement. Adding another generation of Pokemon in will make the game feel even more overcrowded than it already does.You can't in the first demo version. The Battle Frontier Demo, however, has several Pokemon obtainable with Mega Stones.They're found in Hidden Grottos. Look for darker spots between trees. In the Battle Frontier Demo, the Hidden Grotto can be found on the west side of the Frontier's north path.The main game will have smaller-scale battle facilities outside the Battle Frontier. A Battle Factory could be one of those, but it has yet to be decided.There's an event in Bellin Town which takes place after receiving the Pokedex.You may (although it's), but I highly recommend just installing the Complete FireRed Upgrade yourself so you can choose which features you want. If you can't install it right now, play around with ROM Hacking for a couple of months, and then come back to it once you have gained more experience.This is what happens when the game is saved with the emulator set to the incorrect save-type of Flash 64k. If you initially saved the game while your emulator's save-type was set to Flash 64k, you must delete it immediately. Make sure to change the emulator's save-type to Flash 128k before starting a new save!Whenever I finish it. If you want to know how complete it is, look under the completion spoiler.
