Story

Experience the untamed beginnings of Kanto in PS The First Journey & Red’s Journey West, where Pokémon lore is brought to life through a daring dual narrative that reshapes the familiar regions of Kanto and Johto.

Your adventure starts in a raw, unrefined Kanto of 1957 as Samuel Oak—a young visionary charged with bringing order to a wild land ruled by Tamers. The journey is defined by uncertainty and surprises: rare Pokémon are commonplace, towns have yet to find their identity, and key landmarks appear altered by a world still in flux. The concept of Trainers is new, and every step forward is marked by high-stakes duels, scarce resources, and shifting allegiances.

As Oak and his companions forge the path to the first Pokémon League, you’ll encounter forked storylines shaped by your choices and the personalities you meet—future legends, friends, and rivals. Familiar traditions are reimagined: Gym Leaders emerge from the ranks of determined settlers, and the region’s development is in your hands.

In the second arc, join Red decades later as he crosses into a rejuvenated Johto on a personal quest for redemption. Here, events take on new urgency: wild legendaries roam unleashed, secret areas lost to time resurface, and the culture of Pokémon battling continues to evolve. The fractured echoes of the past—the fall of Tamers, the rise of Gym Leaders, and the legacy of Oak—shape every outcome, with your decisions influencing whether harmony or chaos defines the future.

Blending classic adventure with bold, story-driven innovation, PS The First Journey & Red’s Journey West draws you into a world where every gym badge, every rival battle, and every choice changes the fate of Kanto and Johto forever.
