Pokémon Academy Life Forever is a visual novel that takes you into an alternate Pokémon world that doesn't send 10-year-olds off to fend for themselves. Familiar characters from the core series games are placed in an academy setting, where you take on the role of a student. The majority of your time will be spent in the Kobukan (koh-BU-kahn) region, located fairly equidistant from the six regions. As Red (or custom player name), you are the dynamic protagonist who will interact with a plethora of characters. The story will progress in different branches depending on who you choose to talk to, who you try to befriend, pursue as a romantic interest, who you choose to help, and much more throughout your three years at the academy.
