Status: OPEN, check us out here!
Introduction
The world of Kogranar is a very peculiar region where mystery dungeons have been transforming a lot of its beloved habitats into havens for dangerous & malicious Pokémon with only the desire of destruction. You find yourself (whether you are a human-turned Pokémon or not) in this new region where you will find out the myths & legends behind Kogranar, as well as the reasons those mystery dungeons have been replacing this land slowly. Despite this, those who have not lost themselves to the dungeons still live a fairly peaceful life.

Hello everyone! You might have seen me around in the Pokémon ARPG scene for a little while. Pokémon has been a hyperfixation for so long and I've always wanted to make an ARPG and a community around something a lot of us can enjoy. This is where I bring Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Destruction Call, which is an ARPG that gives a hommage to the older PMD games (mostly the Rescue Team & Explorers games). This is a highly story-focused ARPG which puts emphasis on character building & story development rather than character designing, which is why the trait system is on the simpler side.
This ARPG will be mainly hosted on Toyhouse, with inventories & certain information being on Google Sites.
A Discord server will also be available on release.
Features
Only some of the features will be shared, others will be included as time goes on!
- A story mode, which allows you to learn more about the region of Kogranar as well as the different NPCs that help with the different mechanisms of the ARPG.
- The ability to pick your starter & partner (non-Legendary, Mythical, Ultra Beast) with select traits (excluding Mythical/Godly/Chimera).
- A dungeon system: The art/writing requirements are given to you in the form of amount of floors. There is also a chance of spawning Kecleon Shops for extra items & Monster Houses for extra levels. You will also be allowed to recruit a certain amount of Pokémon amongst a list if desired. Example of requirements.
- A recruiting system: You can also send out empty applications around Kogranar to get more Pokémon to join your team(s).
- A weekly Questboard, which also features the opportunity to include your own teams to be rescued in the form of Friend Rescues. There are also possibilities of having cross-ARPG quests in the form of a collab if desired.
- A team rank system: Similarly to the Explorers game, completing certain amounts of dungeons & quests allows you to rank up. The higher the rank, the better your weekly check-in rewards will be.
- Weekly check-in: For those who want the consistency, a weekly check-in system is offered for rewards.
- 10 free imports on your first week in the ARPG: One of them can be a Legendary/Mythical/UB and another one can be a beta/glitch Pokémon. After that first week, you can still import with items acquired through dungeons or/and through the shop.
- Challenging dungeons (think Zero Isle with the 99 floors) & quests for those who want to surpass themselves! Of course, not mandatory to do!
Feel free to comment or PM if you have any questions or concerns about this ARPG!
I will do my best to answer them, though if it's lore-related, there is a chance I can't answer yet.
You can also ask to be pinged for when the ARPG fully opens as well!

Thank you for checking this out and hope you all have a good timezone!
Pinglist should be updated!
While I am here, I would like to share the map for Kogranar by the amazing @Magixin! The story is supposed to start on the south and you go north as you progress! We are all hoping this will help players with planning their explorer team's itinerary!
Black spots are mountains. Also, Flora Village, where most of the NPC reside is also on the south (I'll mark a spot for it later on HELP)
Pinglist has been updated up to this point! owo7
At the rate we're working, the beta should definitely be on the 1st of June, which means the ARPG will very likely release to the general public on August 1st!
PoyoboxMasterson Since I'm looking for a fairly small sample so that I can prepare my mods for the potential work overload (so basically giving them time to get used to the type of work they have to do) when it'll be publicly up, currently the Beta sample consists of people who are currently in my Discord Server (which I believe is about ~40 people counting current staff). A lot of these people already have previous experience with other ARPGs which I think would be pretty valuable :3c
bunnyyteeth Added you in, I'm also super excited to have this out there for real! :D
And I'm really glad people are excited so far wah I've been working on this for quite a while now ;o;
Bump with a bit of an update!
Our coder, @ShadowChromia, finished this character code which was made with Destruction Call in mind! It is however F2U for any purpose and can be checked out here: https://toyhou.se/27130698.destruction-call-f2u
We also have a folder snippet for explorer teams which can also be used for any purpose here as well: https://toyhou.se/27131586.team-card-f2u
I hope you appreciate them and hope you have fun! :D
