Description

Where classic Pokémon gameplay is reimagined with tougher battles, unpredictable AI, and strategic twists that will test even the most talented trainers. This isn’t just another ROM hack—it’s designed for hardcore players looking for an intense experience!

Features

• Increased Difficulty: Enemy trainers, Gym Leaders, and Elite Four members now have optimized teams with competitive movesets and smarter AI.
• Team Diversity: Expect enemy Pokémon with expanded movesets and a variety of counters to common strategies.
• Level Cap Adjustments: Progression requires careful level management to stay within caps for each Gym and major battle.
• Nuzlocke Challenge: There are 3 custom nuzlocke modes you can try specifically for this ROM hack, the rules are listed in the doc
• Legendary Encounters: Limited, but expect a challenge when they do appear!
• Gen 8 Mechanics and Pokemon: the pokemon, abilities, held items, double battle mechanics, Enemy AI, HMs and more are all up to gen 8
• Rare Candies: To reduce grinding you are given rare candies instead of having to hack them in, not mandatory just a quality of life features
• Team diversity: You are given hundreds of pokemon to use and battle with and it becomes even more diverse when you can use every held item (for a price ofc)
  AND MORE!!
• Difficulty: This game’s difficulty (when playing with HC nuzlocke rules) should be a little easier than emerald kaizo, there will be quite a large difficulty spike in the unfinished endgame i’m working on however that’s in the future.
