>>45071238story is set in a barely urbanized region with just a few bigger cities. most of the region is wilderness with a few camps that are used as bases for trainers who explore the region.
Each camp has a head of exploration that functions as a Gym leader and also has some form of reserching goal e.g. observe the nearby pokemon populations, researching plant life…
you are recommended for a trainer license after you rescue and befriend a pokemon belonging to the Prof. that run of into the wilderness alone.
Your goal in this game is to visit each camp and help with the research (some form of quest/mini game similar to Alolas Island trials), after that you can challenge the respective camp leader to earn a badge and with it the license to explore the region further e.g. you can now use pokemon abilities to surf, explore certain dungeons etc.
the main goal of the story is to stop some big company (that is secretly the evil team) from exploting the region's nature. You do this by battling some grunts from time to time and stopping them from poching pokemon, polluting the environment etc. until you get to confront the companies boss after you uncover their actual goal to exploit the region in secret.
the elite 4 are the region's most accomlished explorers that hold the authority over different type-themed areas and the local camps (desert, snowy mountains, forrests, coasts). They got deceived by the evil boss, but help you driving off his hencchmen in different parts of the region before the team’s true identity is revealed.
Pokemon League is a yearly event where you challenge the camp leaders explore the region and gain the right to fight the Elite 4 for the privilege to govern your own part of the region, basically making you a camp leader. post game is installing your own customizable camp like a more elaborate version of a secret base.
