Union

The main setting of Brave New World, the city of Union is said to have been established five hundred years ago by the Savior and by other survivors of the war between human and Pokémon. It was built on the rubble of the previous city that had stood in the same spot, now referred to as the Old City. Though Union long believed itself to be the last bastion of humanity, this was proven untrue in February of 2014 by the appearance of the members of Team Evolution. Since then, Union has continued to expand and grow, contacting new civilizations, discovering new Pokémon, and forming new allies and enemies.

In an ever increasingly expansive world, Union is marked by its piety and dedication to its legends concerning the Savior and its devotion to the protection of the relationship between human and Pokémon. The people of Union believe strongly that the gods may return to judge the world once again and are fiercely opposed to any perceived ill treatment of Pokémon. Union is unique in its development of warp technology, and most particularly, the Warp Band, a means of communicating with Pokémon that is unknown to other regions. The concept of the Poké Ball is abhorrent to the people of Union and has long featured in stories concerning the pre-war abuse and enslavement of Pokémon. Those with special abilities are called Enlightened, and these individuals are believed to be direct descendents of the Savior blessed by the gods.

A great wealth of additional information concerning Union may be found in information pages within the game, including the Premise, the City of Union, Union Society & Culture, the Enlightened, and the Rules & FAQ.

A full timeline of the events that have transpired around Union since the opening of the game in January 2014 can be found on the Timeline page. A map of the world known to Union at this time can be found here.
