Welcome to the Hanju Region, a Pokémon region inspired by the rich culture, diverse landscapes, and modern advancements of South Korea.

Trainers embark on a journey not only to become Pokémon Champions but also to explore the rich tapestry of Korean culture and forge lasting bonds with their Pokémon companions.

Features:

Spoiler

Arctic Amplification: In Arctic Amplification battles, the icy terrain of Glaciera plays a significant role in shaping the outcome of battles. At the start of each turn, there is a chance for the weather to change to a hailstorm, reflecting the harsh climate of the region. Hailstorms persist throughout the battle, gradually chipping away at the HP of all Pokémon on the field except for Ice-type Pokémon, who are unaffected by the hail. Additionally, certain moves gain enhanced power or secondary effects when used during a hailstorm, reflecting the amplified power of ice and snow in the region. Trainers must adapt their strategies accordingly, taking advantage of the weather conditions to bolster their own team's strengths while exploiting their opponent's weaknesses.

Minor features:

Ice Fishing Spots: Scattered across Glacier Bay and frozen lakes, these special fishing spots allow Trainers to engage in ice fishing. Using specialized fishing rods, Trainers can catch rare Ice-type Pokémon unique to the region's icy waters.

Hot Springs: Located deep within the Frostfall Forest and near Polar Peak Resort, these natural hot springs provide a relaxing respite from the frigid temperatures of the Glaciera region. Trainers can visit hot springs to restore their Pokémon's HP and status conditions, as well as interact with other Trainers to exchange tips and stories.

Aurora Observatory: Situated atop Frostbite Peak, the Aurora Observatory offers panoramic views of the northern lights that illuminate the night sky. Trainers can visit the observatory to learn about the aurora borealis and witness breathtaking light displays, as well as encounter rare Pokémon that are drawn to the mystical energy of the auroras.

Ice Sculpture Contest: Held annually in the town of Frostvale, the Ice Sculpture Contest celebrates the artistry and creativity of Trainers and Pokémon alike. Trainers can participate in the contest by sculpting intricate ice sculptures using their Pokémon's Ice-type moves, with prizes awarded for the most impressive creations.

Avalanche Rescue Missions: During certain times of the year, Avalanche Pass becomes prone to avalanches and rockslides, posing a danger to Trainers and Pokémon alike. Trainers can volunteer for avalanche rescue missions, helping to rescue stranded Pokémon and Trainers trapped in the aftermath of an avalanche and earning rewards for their efforts.
