Description

In this romhack all gyms from the 2nd onward and the E4 are double battles and have remade teams for synergy and a different kind of difficulty that doesn’t rely on throwing a Magneton at your team that has 3 non-starter encounters that can beat it and only 2 that can do so without overleveling (Makuhita can’t until it evolves, going over the level cap). Gym level curve reworked to follow the player’s progression better. Gym leaders use Egg Moves.

Features

  • Extensive gyms remake: all gyms from the 2nd onward and the E4 are double battles and have remade teams for synergy and a different kind of difficulty that doesn’t rely on throwing a Magneton at your team that has 3 non-starter encounters that can beat it and only 2 that can do so without overleveling (Makuhita can’t until it evolves, going over the level cap). Gym level curve reworked to follow the player’s progression better. Gym leaders use Egg Moves.
  • Team Aqua officers reworked: more thought-out teams, each officer has Pokemon that fit their real personality (that we, as antagonists, don’t get to see). They’re still not up for the Gym challenge for the most part, but they’re less easy to steamroll.
  • Better wild encounters and level curve. Availability of several Pokemon to deal with the challenges to come. Held items altered when necessary to give some Pokemon much-needed items (like the deepsea items for Clamperl).
  • Minimalist changes compared with my other hacks (less type changes, more gym changes, type changes focus on giving the player variety as well as improving the gyms’ roster since they’re all monotype locked and having 5 single type fire or electric types is boring). Some Pokemon have been left vanilla (notably Mawile for reasons that will be clear in your first hour of playing; if I made it too close to Mega-Mawile like I usually do, it would become a worse situation than Wattson’s Magneton).
  • Exp Curves standardized to medium fast and slow for powerful legendaries.
  • More foreign Pokemon towards mid-lategame, Safari Pokemon distributed before the Safari. Expect the Elite 4 to display good variety in their rosters since you benefit from it too.
  • TM Water Pulse and Dig distributed early (WP before Gym 2, Dig before Gym 3 and potentially before Gym 2 if you skip it).
  • Movepools improved (not all) to have a more interesting experience (especially with early-game mons that in Hoenn and Johto tended to be very underwhelming).
