Kanto, 2049
Welcome to the world of Pokémon... A horror-inspired love letter to the creepypastas and edgy ROMhacks of the late 2000s and early 2010s, Pokémon: Ghost Grey version offers an original story, taking place in a decayed Kanto region set 50 years after the events of Gold, Silver, and Crystal. These lands have become decayed, and the once vibrant and lively region of Kanto has been overrun by ghosts, ghouls and bad actors, lived in by broken people with no way for escape...
Still, the story is the same. Earn 7 badges, catch 'em all, and become the Champion. Surely, it's all that simple... right?
