Description

This is a “386” hack of Vega. Everything is available before the postgame. Many Pokémon have also been modified to make them more usable, as many of the postgame Vega Fakemon are pretty bad. Some have new abilities from Gen IV+, and things are generally more accessible – for example, the fire starter no longer needs to evolve to get Flamethrower.

The difficulty has also been addressed: the level curve is much flatter, and leaders are much more reasonable. That sort of thing. Shuckle has left the gym. These are all included in the documents.

TMs are also more widely available, and there are several QoL changes, such as the Department Store selling Sun and Moon stones before postgame and the Elite 4 selling Revives and Full Restores, as well as an NPC selling all TMs.

Features

• HMs are less bad.
• Pokémon that got updated sprites in Procyon/Deneb received them here, too. Which is nice, because good lord, the original Infiris sprite.
• Trades are edited.
• Obedience levels have been changed so the trades are usable.
• In Seafin City, you can receive the Procyon/Deneb starter that’s weak to the one you picked.
• The move relearner is free.
• Grass has been added to Junopsis City, and several locations like Perimeter Labs and the Tower of Darkness now have encounters.
• All the puzzles in the original are untouched. Sorry.
• TM19 Poison Leaf has been replaced with Drill Run, TM49 FeatherDance has been replaced with Roost, and the Dig tutor is now Superpower.
