Expedition's philosophy is all Pokémon are viable and trainable to your own specs with the exception of a few that lean one way or another. Expanded Egg Moves allow for Trainers to breed Pokémon in a variety of ways. No bad Pokémon. If it's your favorite Pokémon, use that Pokémon and see what kind of combos you can come up with! :)
An immersive reimagining of Kanto and Johto
Pokémon Expedition is a classic-style journey through Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands, combining the stories of Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal into one cohesive narrative — with elements from Pokémon: The First Movie integrated into the plot.
Giovanni still controls the Mewtwo project… and he won't hesitate to bring out the ultimate weapon.
