About

Pokémon Crown is an entirely new gameplay experience. While it is still an exploration-focused RPG, we have combined many elements from other genres to create something truly unique. In Pokémon Crown, you will rediscover each Pokémon and how they interact with one another using our new Auto Chess battle engine! Play against interesting and unique teams while strategizing on synergy, placement, and type matchups! 6v6 combat like you’ve never seen before! Pokémon Crown is a Medieval RPG set in the vast and magical Region of Guelder. Guelder, as a rich resource bastion, was thrust into a long-lasting war. Guelder triumphed after many years, but not without a cost… While the region was rebuilding, the King’s Diviner predicted a dual prophecy for the kingdom: a future of light and a future of darkness. Based on these visions, the King realized that unless something changed, the kingdom was doomed to more war.
