Description

Embark on an epic journey across Kanto and discover the looming indomitable threat that haunts Professor Oak. Featuring 100+ new Pokemon! New Pokemon types! New moves! Pokemon abilities! An all-star cast of challenging gym leaders! And a Nuzlocke mode guaranteed to make you sweat in fear! The challenge has never been greater in this overhaul of Pokemon Blue!

This is intended as a challenging ROM hack and is heavily inspired by the original Nuzlocke comic; from comedy to tragedy. Hard mode is the intended experience. There is an easy mode which removes the Nuzlocke element (among other things), and notably, Pokemon have a chance of dying after fainting. Also, the game is expected to be bug-free (except for Gen 1 misses); let me know @xillicis on Discord.
