Description

Pokemon Zaru is a ROM hack, set in a familiar region of Kanto. But some things are different. In fact, all the 151 Pokemon. The hack includes 151 Fakemon that replace the old ones. But there is also one more thing. The region was taken over by nazis. And guess who is gonna stop them? Ash Ketchu… I mean, you (the story isn’t meant to be taken too seriously). The story is changed to fit the theme and all 151 Fakemon are catchable in a single playthrough.

Features

• 151 catchable Fakemon,
• New story,
• Slightly modified old routes,
• Increased difficulty (But hopefully not too much),
• Moves from new generations,
• Modified old moves to be better (Snore is actually somewhat good now),
• New custom moves to give some underappreciated typings a little help in combat,
• More buyable TM’s and buyable Ethers,
• The cost of healing items is increased. This is done to discourage heal spamming. Don’t be careless with your money, ‘cuz you’re gonna need it at the end,
• Many good items can be obtained by catching wild Pokemon or using Thief on them,
• Weak HM’s are buffed, so they aren’t as much of a pain to use (Flash is also never required to use).
• AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: Encounter rates in Mt. Moon, Diglett Cave and Rock Tunnel are lowered.
