Welcome to the 2019 Genessia Pokemon event! This epic adventure will span through the full month of July, from the 1st to the 31st, where characters will be greeted by Professor Teak, a friendly woman with wild grey hair pinned up into a braided bun, who's only too happy to study the wonders of Pokemon in their...natural...environment? Well it's natural to THEM anyway, at least for the month of July, so she'll ask for volunteers to sign up and help her complete her studies. Volunteers will receive a Genessia Pokedex (divided into seven regions) and access to her lab, where they'll receive any level five starter Pokemon of their choice as well as a daily supply of Pokeballs. The five best helpers will receive an extra reward of a Nova City charm, wowie! Even if the character declines to participate, all it will take is a glance out the window to realize that Pokemon are already here, and they're everywhere. Get ready for a Pokemon-filled summer!

...And don't be scared by the nitty gritty mechanics. If you don't want to go after a charm, you can still have fun messing around with Pokemon-themed adventures throughout the cities.

( I know it's my destinyyyyyy! )

The mechanics might seem complicated on paper, but don't worry: the mod will be doing most of the work for you with randomized rolls and calculating encounter results. A sample Day in the Life of Joe McCool will also be presented on the primary event log once it goes up so you can better understand what a search request should look like. Don't know much about Pokemon? There are plenty of players who do, so make use of their PokeKnowledge, and be sure to visit serebii.net for more detailed information about your Pokemon such as evolution requirements, what moves they learn at certain levels, and what egg type they are to determine their compatibility with other Pokemon in the nursery.

Do your best to earn those charms and fill out that PokeDex, and if everyone cooperates, you might unlock something really good at the end of the month. Feel free to ask questions below, and I'll get to them as soon as I can!
