Story:Pokemon Taiko and Tanso

Set in new regions of Kaegyo and Intilla - spiritual successor to DDT project with Neo/DSS/Crono from 2014.

Kaegyo
A mountainous, peninsular region across the sea from Intilla and Hoenn. The people of Kaegyo honor many traditions distinct from their archipelagic neighbors, and value Pokemon in different ways. A chief example concerns the lack of Gym system and flourishing of the Contest circuit. Trainers strive not to be recognized by their sheer battling prowress but rather for their style, marketing, and virality of the Pokemedia they create, whether it be through live or digital shows. These "Idols" are the true nexuses of influence in Kaegyo, although their status is often met with confusion and/or derision from other regions.

Other Regions
These regions are not central to the main events of Pokemon Guava and Mango, but are important for connectivity may even be involved in a "post-game" scenario...

Major Characters

 * Toshi - A 16 year old girl born to Intillan parents that has grown up in Kaegyo all her life. She is particularly inept at official Contests and regards many Idols with a mixture of poorly disguised envy and dismissive rage. Toshi prefers to play or create her own games and competitions as alternatives to the highly glamourized Kaegyo circuit. Erratic by nature and highly competitive when she isn't busy being lazy, she is worried over by her parents, who work as business consultants for the Contests. Toshi's parents are quick to provide her with whatever she wants, and considering the lucrative funds their work brings in, she is able to ask for (and receive) quite a lot. "A lot" usually entails various board games or materials to construct her own (often brutal) variants, to which she will subject others. Toshi is usually seen in the same relatively plain clothing. She finds the flamboyant getup of many Idols too "tryhard", though she is a sucker for hair accessories that clash violently with the rest of her monochrome ensemble. Thus, the only vehicle through which she seems to flaunt her wealth is a butler who she summons to do various menial tasks. Toshi manages to attract and repulse friends and rivals through games, during which she can exhibit a full spectrum of emotions ranging from unctuous cooperation to threatening crabbiness to full-on chaotic screaming. She is actually quite adept at school and internally questions why so many parents subject their children to overexposure to popular culture rather than a more academic yet comparatively relaxing life. She has known Nari since elementary school and is inexplicably quite good friends with her considering the hellish conveyor belt of games she has put the other girl through. The two make quite the pair - while Nari is quick to don Contest gear and sees the world through compressed gold-diamond eyes, Toshi will level a gray-irised death glare at you over a handful of cards and demand why the hell you haven't made your move yet. Don't ask her what her goals in life are; she's too busy figuring out new ways to incorporate her Mareanie into a round of Chinese Checkers.
