Pixelmon Johto - Pokemon's Johto & Kanto recreated
This custom map project closely follows the core storylines from the main Pokemon game series. Embark on your journey through the Johto region, collect all 8 gym badges, face off against Team Rocket, battle your rival Silver, explore the world to find items and random events, catch Pokemon and defeat the Elite Four. After that, you'll gain access to Kanto region with its original 8 gym leaders. Ultimately, waiting for you at the peak of Mt. Silver will be Red - the ultimate trainer ready for an epic final battle.
This map requires the Pixelmon Reforged mod to function. If you prefer a pre-configured solution, there's a ready-to-play Technic pack called "Pixelmon Johto - Jond" that automatically sets up everything for you. You can find it by searching in the Technic platform's modpack section.

The map offers massive amounts of content: hundreds of trainer NPCs ready for battles, numerous regular characters waiting to interact with you, while the main storyline is implemented through tens of thousands of commands via datapack technology, delivering unique gameplay experiences you won't find anywhere else. Play it singleplayer-style or jump into multiplayer on a server with friends! However, note that server play might encounter plugin compatibility issues, so a Forge-only server is strongly recommended.
During your adventure to conquer all 16 gym badges and become the strongest trainer, you'll be accompanied by location-specific music based on original game soundtracks. Battle Team Rocket, confront your rival Silver. Use a specialized map to track your real-time location. Catch different Pokemon depending on the route, time of day and even specific days of the week. Test your skills at the Battle Tower trying to defeat as many consecutive opponents as possible. Record your championship achievements by placing statues in the Hall of Fame. Explore mysterious questlines featuring Celebi and Arceus. Find and use Mega Stones for super evolution. Participate in the Bug Catching Contest. Encounter different Safari Zone biomes with Pokemon from various generations. Face enhanced gym leaders in rematches. Hatch unique Pokemon eggs. Utilize special command-based HM moves and discover countless other features! The true scope of this project can only be appreciated by experiencing it firsthand.

Resource Pack:
For complete immersion into the game world's atmosphere, we recommend installing the additional resource pack containing unique textures and musical accompaniment. In singleplayer mode, simply add the "Pixelmon Johto Resource Pack.zip" file to the appropriate folder and enable it in game settings. For server play, the resource pack is available both within map download files and through direct download links. An optional music pack can also be downloaded separately for full atmospheric immersion into Johto and Kanto regions.
Troubleshooting:
If you encounter technical difficulties, run the "/trigger info" command right in Minecraft - it will provide diagnostic information about your current map version, spawn chunk status, Pixelmon mod installation verification, dialog activations and other crucial system parameters. The command will automatically identify most common issues and suggest potential solutions.
