Description

Pokemon Korosu is vastly different than my previous hacks, which both often tried to be “funny”. This hack is a bit more serious(as you can tell, as Korosu means “to kill” in Japanese). Despite that, this hack is still in the same messed-up universe as Pokemon Outlaw and could even be considered a sequel of Pokemon Outlaw. You don’t have to play Outlaw to understand the hack’s story, but events from Outlaw are referred to. Here’s a recap of relevant events from Outlaw, so no one has to suffer(or enjoy) going through that one just to play this one.

Story

This is a story of a young lady who finds herself in a difficult situation. Her family has been killed, and she has been kidnapped by a harsh, mafia-like criminal group and has been doomed to a life of human slavery. Eventually, she escapes(with some help) and she sets out on a quest to get revenge against those who have ruined her life. The game will take place in two very familiar regions.

At first, it will take place in the Sevii Islands. The 2nd part will take place in Kanto. Both are very different from their originals. The Sevii Islands have become unstable, and nearly all of them are controlled by different criminal groups of varying degrees of strength. Kanto is affected by the events Pokémon Outlaw and is in a grim condition, much different from the Kanto we all know and love.

Features

• Story of revenge
• Physical/Special/Status Split(surprisingly easy to implement). Applies common sense to the battle experience.
• BW2 repel system asks if you want to use another repel after your repel is finished (provided that you have another repel of the same kind).
• Some Gen 4-6 Pokémon. Still mostly gen 1-3 Pokémon, but I decided to add some of my favs from other gens(spoiler: mostly as opponents. Though one will be given to you. ). It’s a very small list of Gen 4-6 pokes.
• Pokemon Tournament instead of Elite Four/Pokemon League. 64-trainer tournament, inspired my love for American college basketball and their 68-team “March Madness tournament. Hopefully, it’ll be an enjoyable experience.
• A completely new story, a bunch of new events and characters. I’d call it a new and unique Pokemon journey. Not merely a 8 badges, evil team, Elite Four kind of game.
• The main character kills a LOT of people. Probably unprecedented in any Pokémon hack.
• No waiting to get running shoes. You get to run at the start of the freaking game. Why do you need special shoes to run? Also can run indoors.
• Fixed that stupid trainer facing thing that made no sense, so you actually face the trainer if the trainer challenges you.
• Trade evos by moon stone(some by water stone).
• Still NO FISHING. DEATH TO FISHING! (Honestly, I don’t hate fishing. I just have no motivation to make fishing overworld sprites.)

Known Bugs

• Very small chance(less than .1%) that you lose before battling admin Sergi in the game’s opening sequence. There’s 0 percent chance of this happening if the player plays with the intention of victory, and a very low chance even if the player intentionally tries to lose. If player loses, they’ll be sent to cinnabar gym, completely screwing up the game. It’s not an issue, as this part is set up for the player to win the early skirmishes.
• In the first room that you’re in, there’s a minor issue with movement permissions and the bed.
• Can’t enter 5/fortune island in any way other than by boat. That means if you lost on 5 island, you’ll be sent to 4 island poke center(or whatever poke center you were at last). And can’t fly there either.
• Pokedex data on the gen 4-6 Pokémon size and footprints will not be accurate. Got lazy there.
• Didn’t test breeding with new pokes, so who knows what will happen if you breed with a Luxray.
• Thunder and Ice Fang are in the game, but they don’t work exactly like they do in the Gen 4-6 games.
• Going on birth island might(or might not) screw up the music in the game. I didn’t bother fixing it because there isn’t much else to do after that point.
• Don’t really consider this a glitch myself, but since people keep reporting it. You can only use Ember Spa on Kindle Road (for healing Pokémon) once per visit. To use it again, you have to leave the spa and reenter it.
