Plot
This section is largely incomplete. Check back later for new edits!
The game is set in Infer region, around a decade after the events of Pokémon X and Y.
The player is a student from a faraway country, who has been enrolled as a new student of the Infer Academy with their sibling Lilia (if the player is male) or Ron (if the player is female). In the beginning they take most of the time getting familiar with a new place. While the player starts in Elser Town where they first stay overnight at Lisa's house, after the game's events the player wakes up in the Academy dorm.
The player, sibling, as well as a few other students are assigned to Professor Nia's team, with the focus on further documentation of already-existing species and the Coronation phenomenon, that has yet to be properly looked into and proven to exist.
In-between their group task, the rivals take on the Pokémon League, which finds its culmination in Infer's biggest city. [clarification needed]
In the meantime, a rogue group mostly consisting of wealthy citizens of Infer and neighboring regions, called Team 0 has been gaining more influence over every aspect of region, threatening the safety of people and Pokémon alike. Throughout the plot the player and research group encounter some of the Team's Grunts, learning the mob's plans to bring the Imperial Three and manipulate them to use their powers for the Team's gains and ultimate goal - wiping out all people and Pokémon they deem undesirable and "a manifest of contempt for order".
The player becomes one of the main targets for Team 0's leader [clarification needed], which leads to a 1-on-1 showdown at Chamber Zero. Upon victory against the leader, the player encounters Crimsoil or Zeedrak (depending on the game version), which allows them to proceed further with the Pokémon League and allow the player to Coronate one of their eligible Pokémon.
Features
Coronation
See Coronation for more information
Coronation is a new permanent transformation considered the "fourth" evolutionary stage. Pokémon who underwent such transformation face severe restrictions in battles due to their tremendous strength.
Infer Royal Championships
Just like in other entries, Crimson and Cobalt feature post-game battle facilities. Infer Royal Championships' main difference from them is the advanced setup comparable to a Pokémon League, which also features many Trainers from other regions, as well as previous entries.
Transportation
The player, besides being able to use a Bike, can now also make use of a public transit network, the Pokémon Sprint, in order to get between major locations more easily.
Gyms
Crimson and Cobalt feature gyms just like every other game, and there are 8 of them. The Gym Leaders of Infer are: Amy (Fire), Stella (Water) and Donna (Grass); Max (Electric), Rob (Fighting), Marie (Normal), Kira (Electric), Jan and Janine (Ghost), Aurora (Fairy), and Anthony (Flying).
Elite Four and Champion
The Elite Four, in comparison to some previous entries, are ordered and the player cannot choose whichever Elite Four member will they challenge first. The members are Alpin (Ice), Vincent (Bug), Monty (Poison) and Kara (Psychic) [clarification needed]
