Description

The game takes place 3 years after the events of Pokémon Saiph and a few weeks after Pokémon Sors, however, it’s not too connected to the latter. Welcome to the region of Regris! Old Almia was once a peaceful nation, learning to live together with Pokemon. The almians lived in peace, until one day an ancient beast, Darkrai, appeared and kept the region’s population under terror.

They were forced to move underground, where Darkrai’s powers couldn’t reach them. Mysteriously one day, a knight found a way to put an end to Darkrai’s terror, sealing it on a new land he claimed and named New Almia. As a result, Old Almia changed its name to Regris and brought the land a new era… however it also created a new nation it started to rival.

Centuries later, due to unknown reasons the Regris Government layed eyes on Darkrai’s ancient powers once again, to keep themselves safe from Almia, or perhaps to break the world order of The United Regions. It has been 3 years since the events of Pokemon Saiph, and only a couple weeks since the chaos was quelled in Hupest with the help of Micah Kusei.

Micah and Darlo on his way back from a diplomatic event in a faraway region, got into a plane crash, that ended up taking them to Regris, where now they have to face an organization, called the Regressists, who are trying to reclaim Darkrai’s lost powers… Are they doing this for Regris? Or perhaps there is something else going on behind the scenes? Find out in Pokemon Saiph 2!
