region is named arcia

no gyms, story is focused on rival battle academies, orange in scarlet and purple in violet. Explore the region to complete tasks for school and then battle against stronger students to rank up.

you can go around region in whatever direction you like but always face students in the same order, first is santi, then penny.

no evil group, instead students from other academy will interrupt your tasks and get in the way

UV Crystals are like Z Crystal from Alola but have many more effects and not just on moves. One changes type relationships and one makes trick room in the battle.

Legend Pokemon are golden and red pegasus for scarlett which is called Cielasus and purple and black bull for violet which is called Infioro. Legendaries have babies called Cororta and Becetra which the player meets early in the adventure and can ride across Arcia.
