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!

hello!! i'd love to be pinged for this! i'm looking forward to it ^^

i'd also like to ask: do you already have people you're releasing the beta to? and will the roleplay itself be on discord or toyhouse? tysm!

Demistasis

expalice I added you to the pinglist!

- Yes, I plan on releasing this to the people in my own Discord server (different from the ARPG Discord server) first before releasing it to the general public!
- Everything is on Toyhouse, the Discord server is meant to be an optional complement to the TH.

I hope these answer your questions :3

Oh yeah, I should mention!

I did make an optional roller that can be used by those who can't pick a starter or want something completely randomized :>
If you want to pick a specific type, you can write the type in lowercase in the text box.

Feel free to also use this roller as inspiration for designs as well. Have fun!
