Pokemon Garbage Green ROM

Pokemon Garbage Green is a ROM hack of Pokémon LeafGreen that will make only bad Pokémon available to the player, removes EVs and healing Items, makes the path through Kanto linear, and locks the player into gauntlets of enemy trainers at certain points of the game. The goal is to make the game as hard as possible by taking resources away from the player, instead of buffing the opponents.

Encounters are designed to be as bad as possible for the upcoming split of the game, and were not oppressively powerful for the previous bossfight. However, because FRLG trainers are very underleveled and easy, for there to be sufficient encounter variety, many Pokemon will never evolve or have had their evolution delayed.

Features

• Edited encounters to have only Pokemon from the National Dex that are bad for FRLG. Every Route’s Wild Pokemon has been changed.
• Changed the starters to Slugma, Paras, and Goldeen
• Changed static Pokemon encounters – many encounters that have overworld sprites are now Ditto
• Restricted access to certain areas – linearized Kanto and provided many new NPCs to block off parts
• Made trades an integral part of the resource management, trading good mons for bad mons holding items. You also always have an option to do the trades, because they ask for a mon from a location rather than a specific Pokemon.
• Serious nerfs to PP of many moves to require more resource management. All Setup moves are now 1PP to make it not oppressively strong in bossfights
• All infinitely purchasable TMs have been removed
• The only healing items purchasable are Full Restores at Indigo Plateau
• Rare Candies are sellable for $1 in the Pokemart
• Poison out of battle has been disabled to make poison not an insta-wipe in gauntlets
• EVs have been removed
• Changed the opening cutscene

Changes

• Surf is now 20BP to prevent Water types from being oppressively overpowered
• Strength is nerfed to 30BP to not encourage running it on every mon
• TM04 Calm Mind has been changed to TM04 Magic Coat
• Sketch can no longer Sketch Baton Pass, in line with competitive rules
• Thief and Covet can no longer steal items, to make thiefing berries off of wild mons not an optimal play
• Pickup only picks up useless Bluk Berries to force berry management
