Pokemon Tag Team Trials ROM

Pokemon Tag Team Trials is a puzzle hack that lets you switch between an Aqua grunt and a Magma grunt, requiring both their (combined) tools to beat the game!

Mechanics

• Most luck-based aspects have been removed to focus more on the puzzle aspect (catching is guaranteed, moves always hit but never crit, etc.)
• If you’re figuratively stuck, talk to the other player to get a hint about the current puzzle.
• If you’re literally stuck, try resetting the room by leaving with either player, or by selecting “DIG” in the start menu if you are in the final room.
• If player 2 is visually stuck in multiplayer mode, open a menu (such as the party menu) to update player 2

Known Bugs

• Confirming a nickname upon catching a pokemon or selecting “NO” when prompted to nickname a pokemon may crash/reset the game. This is an inconstistent bug that we haven’t managed to reproduce on official hardware. Not using speedup seems to minimize the chance of this happening. Starting in v1.1.0, the game autosaves before battling a catchable pokemon to minimize the consequences. It’s advised to save before battling pokemon if you’re not using v1.1.0+.
