Plot

Pokémon Academy Life is set in an alternate Pokémon universe where children are not expected to depart on unsupervised journeys with their Pokémon. Instead, they go through similar youthful days as modern-day people; they attend school, they sleep at home, they socialize with friends in their hometown, and so on.

The protagonist is a player character based on a teenage Red and the game will predominantly be played and narrated from his perspective. At the start of the game, the player gets off the bus after a long journey from Pallet Town to the Kobukan region. He faces the entrance of Relic Hall, one of the dormitories of Kobukan Academy.

After the prologue, the story revolves around the player living out the three years Red is enrolled in the academy, interacting with the numerous characters that can appear during this time.
