Core Systems & Progression Pillars

This page spotlights the long-term systems that steer Pokemon Aura. Skim the pillars and the story arc timeline to see when new mechanics unlock as you roll through the campaign.

Design Pillars

Each pillar gives a quick reminder of what the game expects from you and the rewards tied to that focus area. Lean on them when you need to remember how the pieces connect.

Trainer Identity

Your starter pick, alignment, and long-term goals all flavor how your Pokemon Aura RPG story unfolds.

Starter Choice: The game currently has 3 starter Pokemon, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur (more to come), choosing one shakes up early quest rewards and which rivals cross your path.
Teams: Joining a league opens vendor perks, shared buffs, and different prizes within the Team Shop
Account Progression: Trainer levels, mastery ranks, and seasonal prestige add fresh twists to loot tables as you grow.

World Structure

Each region has its own vibe, travel shortcuts, and weather quirks that shape what you run into.

Regions & Zones: Eight marquee regions host their own story arcs, overworld puzzles, and legendary questlines.
Travel Upgrades: Transit permits, mounts, and flight lanes steadily trim the downtime between hubs.

Resource Economy

Currencies, crafting pieces, and premium drops feed builds, trades, and late-game toys.

Core Currencies: Money, team points, and crafting materials each plug into different vendors and sinks.
Shard Crafting: Craft your own evolution items, QoL gear, and others.
Premium Items: Battle pass rewards stay optional—no paywall on critical systems.

Collection Goals

Pokédex hunts, seasonal achievements, and cosmetics give you cozy side quests between story beats.

Living Dex: Track base, shiny, aura, and event variants with milestone goodies.
Title Tracks: Feats unlock titles that grant stat buffs, flex-worthy intros, or new traversal perks.
Cosmetic Unlocks: Outfits, battle effects, and housing decor tie into events, raids, and clan ranks.
