Background
The Pokémon universe originally existed in a distant cosmos that faced total annihilation due to a cosmic cataclysm 208. To survive, Legendary Pokémon—including Arceus, Mew, and Ho-Oh—led humans and Pokémon on an escape across the universe's crystal wall 208. Upon arriving on Earth, the Pokémon existed only as souls and were incompatible with the planet's environment 208. Shenma Technology Company collaborated with surviving researchers to create special Poké Balls and holographic projection technology, allowing Pokémon to manifest and interact with humans 208 211.
Abilities & Skills
Pokémon in this world are powered by advanced artificial intelligence, allowing them to possess simulated personalities, emotions, and the ability to form deep bonds with human Trainers 208.
Interaction & Combat
- Holographic Manifestation: Pokémon appear in the real world via street-level holographic projection devices, allowing for physical-like interaction 209 211.
- Combat: Pokémon utilize moves (e.g., Thunderbolt, Hydro Pump) that interact with the environment and other Pokémon 207. Combat is highly realistic, with type advantages and environmental factors (e.g., flying vs. ground) playing a critical role 215.
- Communication: While most Pokémon communicate through roars, they can be granted the ability to speak directly to humans through psychic-type mental networks 211.
Equipment
- Poké Ball: A physical sensing device used to store and summon Pokémon; it also acts as a hub for holographic projections in its immediate vicinity 213.
Relationships
- Ning Yifan — Creator and CEO of Shenma Technology Company; he frequently interacts with Pokémon as a Trainer and collector 207 217.
- Professor Oak — Key NPC who guides new Trainers and distributes starter Pokémon 208 213.
- Trainers — Humans who catch, raise, and battle alongside Pokémon, forming bonds that range from pets to companions 208 216.
Story Role / Major Arcs
- The Great Escape: Legendary Pokémon lead a mass exodus from a dying universe to Earth 208.
- The Holographic Launch: Shenma Technology Company introduces Pokémon to Earth via a massive nationwide holographic event, marking the beginning of the "Pokémon OL" era 210 212.
- Integration: Pokémon become a part of daily life in Daxia Country, with Trainers traveling via bicycle and flying cars to catch and train them 214 216.
- Virtual Expansion: Pokémon are integrated into the "City Tower" virtual reality environment, allowing for more immersive and unrestricted exploration 301.
Trivia
- Starter Pokémon: Players typically receive one of three starters: Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip 213.
- Legendary Pokémon: These are rare and powerful; while Ning Yifan possesses a mechanical, rideable Lugia, most are encountered as part of the game's world-building and quest rewards 210 217.
- Realism: Unlike traditional games, Pokémon stats are not fixed; they fluctuate, allowing for "minor gems" and "top-tier gems," and Pokémon require actual training to improve their combat proficiency 214.
