What is Pokemon Z?
Free fan-made adventure built with Pokemon Essentials and RPG Maker XP.
Pokemon Z takes place in Kalos around 300 years before the events of X/Y. The story explores the great war, the ultimate weapon, and King Aster Zephyr while introducing new characters, rivals, villains, regional forms, Fakemon evolutions, and fanmade Mega Evolutions.
The adventure is complete, with 12 Gyms, postgame content, Pokemon from Generations 1–9, multiple game modes, and optional activities alongside the main story.
The story begins in ancient Kalos
A long time ago, the Pokemon world stood on the brink of destruction during a fierce war. King Aster Zephyr created a mysterious machine capable of restoring life to the fallen, but the conflict continued.
Driven by anger and desperation, the king transformed his creation into a devastating weapon. Much of what happened was eventually lost to history.
Pokemon Z takes you back to that era to experience the events of ancient Kalos for yourself.
