Description

You’ve been invited to participate in an experiment run by Dr. Colress of the Unova region. He has created a specialized simulation for only the strongest of trainers, called the Pokemon Battle Labyrinth! Fight your way through a gauntlet of challenge rooms, manage your resources, and build a team of Pokemon generations 1-8 in this unique, arcade-esque ROM hack.

This game is a complete deviation from the default 8 Gyms, Elite Four, evil team game progression. Instead, it implements a classic RPG dungeon crawler in Pokémon form. Players must clear different dungeons called “Zones”, and can only access shops/healing spots between Zones. Offering an emphasis on challenging gameplay and resource management over story, Pokemon Battle Labyrinth contains tricky puzzles, difficult bosses, and great rewards.

Features

• Emulate an RPG dungeon crawling style
• Most Pokemon from generation 1-8 are available for capture. Many Pokemon have been rebalanced or changed in some way, through their base stats, abilities, movepools, or typing.
• Dizzyegg’s Battle Engine, which comes with the generation 7 battle engine, as well as functional Mega Evolution (Z-moves are not included)!
• Soft level caps intended to emphasize strategy over grinding, as well as a balanced level curve suited to a full party of 6 Pokemon.
• Shops that service your every need! Buy nearly every item in the game and utilize special services, including Experience training and Move Tutors.
• Two difficulty modes, Default and Brutal. Among other features, Brutal features include no in-battle items, set mode, and no EVs.
• An optional Randomizer mode, which randomizes wild and gift Pokemon.
• An optional Nuzlocke mode, completely implemented with Dupes Clause, Species Clause, and Shiny Clause.
• Quality of life features include but are not limited to: Nature colored stats, Display EV/IV on the Pokémon Stats Screen, Bag sorting, BW2 Repel prompts, Reusable TMs, Running indoors, Autorun, DS-style Pokémon Party Screen, HMs are replaced by key items, ability to add caught Pokemon to a full party and send a party mon to the PC.

Bugs

• The multi battle Pokémon selection screen has a slight graphical issue
• Some Pokémon are missing their party/PC sprites. This does not affect battles at all.
• Most bugs that are in the rhh expansion branches are also here.
• The only emulator I can guarantee works with this ROM Hack is mGBA.
