This is a Rom Hack started as a mere “Third Version” unifying both Red and Blue Rescue Team in one while giving some quality of life changes. The result is a Rom Hack with a higher difficulty curve, various quality of life changes, but the same story, with a couple dungeons renamed and changed. Some Pokemon were updated or even given new ways of being used due to new typings or abilities.
Features
- Most Dungeons have changed somehow, be their names, scenarios, music, names on the second half, Pokemons, or even how they function.
- Higher Difficulty Curve (Pokemon in Tiny Woods are at Level 5, Pokemon in Sky Tower have a minimum level of 25. And no Post Game Dungeons will have levels lower than 30, barring a few exceptions.)
- Altered text to reflect on the dungeon’s new names (Except Sky Tower, due to limitations)
- Pokemon who didn’t have a second ability was gifted one, be it their hidden ability, abilities gifted to them in later generations, abilities that resembled those in case of lack of ability, or in case of abilities that resembled such cases, abilities that would benefit them. Some even had completely new abilities.
- Some Pokemon changed Typings. Cases like this are Fire/Ground Typhlosion, Grass/Fire Sunflora, Water/Steel Blastoise, Rock/Electric Nosepass, and many more.
- Munchlax is recruitable, complete with ability, stats, friend area location, and evolution method. However, due to the lack of capabilities, and the fact that Munchlax canonically has no moves in this game, its move pool is dummied out. Considering, however, that this is Gen 3, it kinda fits, making it feel like a brand new Pokemon. Munchlax might be a completionist’s trophy.
- In favor of Munchlax being in the same friend area as Snorlax in its friend area, Aipom was moved to the Jungle Friend Area.
- Regarding Friend Areas, all of them got name changes to their DX names, or closer to those names. Additionally, all friend areas are purchasable from the start, with the exception of those you can only obtain via recruiting a Legendary Pokemon and Darkness Ridge, which is still given to you by Absol. Prices were also adjusted to reflect their new availability.
- All Main Story Dungeons will allow you to bring 4 Pokemon. Trust me, you might need it.
- Most items got a palette swap. It adds that extra flair and ease of distinction.
- All Pokemon are recruitable. Long gone are the days of only getting certain Pokemon via evolution. However, it might be best if you still evolve Pokemon, in case you don’t want to miss out on certain moves.
- You may recruit Pokemon in Purity Forest, making it slightly more tolerable. However, it is still the ultimate dungeon.
- There are no version exclusives.
- The “DLC” dungeons Oddity Cave, Marvelous Sea, Fantasy Strait, and Remains Island all got differences, and the codes to access them still work.
