This game is unofficial and has no connection to Nintendo or the Pokémon company. 

Introduction

PKMN: A New Journey is a rules-light Pokémon roleplaying game built on the PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) framework. The core of this game is about going on a trip with friends, exploring places you’ve never been and bonding with strange and wonderful creatures.

What's Different?

There are no hit points or harm clocks. When you or your Pokémon get hurt, there are no mechanical effects, but the fiction changes. On the other hand, failure can apply stress to your Pokémon, affecting how they behave and hindering your teamwork.

Pokémon powers are freeform. Powers do what they say, whether they’re active or passive. There’s no list of abilities with damage values and status effects to keep track of.

There are no playbooks. You have up to three Pokémon in your roster, each with its own nature and unique powers. As you play on, you’ll have a say in how they grow and evolve at your side.

The journey ends after a set duration. You will travel for five weeks with the other players before you head back home. Make the most of your time together.
