Description

Pokemon Ruby’s Ruin is a difficulty hack that aims to make pokemon Ruby as hard as possible, without altering enemy teams. Ruby’s Ruin is balanced for nuzlocking, but is also friendly to casual players who want a different experience! Instead, the player is stranded with weak Pokemon, limited resources and has to survive relentless gauntlets that will push their creativity, team building and resource management skills to the limit!

Features

  • Gauntlets: Every map is changed; Every route, gym or dungeon has been fashioned into a gauntlet where escape is impossible until clearing all enemy trainers. Overworld weathers and Traps are also utilized!
  • Level cap system: Intermediate level caps are enforced to keep the player from over leveling the earlier trainers and minibosses of a split, and fight each E4 member on equal terms!
  • Altered Progression
  • Free EXP and Relic candies
  • Nerfed HMs & Setup moves
  • Removed EVs:
  • Forced set mode
  • Badge boosts are removed
  • Healing items don’t work in battle (except held items)
  • Only finite resources

Encounters & Evolutions:

  • Starters: Lileep, Tyrogue and Zubat: Three different playstyles and classes.
  • Evolutions: All evolutions are now level based. Most are delayed or removed, with some exceptions
  • Encounters: New encounter locations like Fortree City. Most areas offer a variety of 6 – 12 captures, with a focus on variety, balance but also environmental storytelling!

There are also some custom encounters that I’m not going to spoil;)

  • Trades: Brand new trades, that ask for any mon in exchange.

Other Features

  • Graphics: Map changes are complemented by custom tiles & palettes made by me!
  • Dialogue&Events: Dozens of new scripts, mini events and dialogue, to either guide the player, spice up the story, or easter eggs just for fun!
  • New UIs: Summary, PC boxes, ORAS style trainer card, DPPT bag design
  • New TMs: Some old TMs now teach new moves, like Detect or Dream Eater, and learning compatibilities are accounted for.
  • New Items

QOL

Along with the exp trainers, qualities of life include:

  • Move Relearner in every Pokemon Center (5th badge)
  • FireRed style fishing
  • Fast Nurse Joy
  • Instant egg hatching
  • Decapitalization
  • Nature effects are displayed in summary
  • Cheaper Pokeballs

Changelog
