Paldea and any other Pokemon not found in Pokerole currently will be released in Version 2.1

There are no guaranteed release dates. At time of writing, Pokerole 2.1 and an update to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon expansion are in active development, they will be released when they are ready.

Because during the release of 2.0, a hard drive failure caused major delays in the release time frame and people made a meme about it. This frustrated the dev team to no end and they’ll no longer give release dates because of it.

The system is still fairly obscure compared to the other Pokemon systems. What we currently lack in player base, we make up for in quality! Try learning to be a Storyteller, and you’ll find a rewarding system with players eager to engage with your world.
(If you've never been a game master before, Pokexplorer’s Summer Camp is designed for both people new to the system and Storytelling.)

Players: You can post in the #player-directory channel following the template others have set. Storytellers can then find you by scrolling through the directory.
Storytellers: You can use the player directory as described above, or you can post your game's description using this template to the #open-games channel. You should ping the “@Looking For Game” role as part of your message as well. Once you've posted your game info, make a thread for people to respond in.

You can find it the offical website. Not all the resources are used for the most current version of the game, however, so be mindful.

Contests cards were lost in the aforementioned hard drive failure and 2.0 was released without them.
This means that contests are currently unplayable in the RAW sense. Contests will be released as part of 2.1.

Note

The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon module was written as an expansion of Pokerole 1.25. Pokerole is currently on 2.0, and no official Mystery Dungeon expansion exists for it (though there is homebrew).
Some Mechanics may not play well in PMD, because the 2.0 rules are designed exclusively for trainer games. This is something your table will have to work through until an official module can be released. For example, Logic and Instinct is almost universally ignored by DMs.
