Features & Key Changes
- A fresh and balanced competitive experience with every Pokémon feeling equally viable.
- New forms and evolutions for certain Pokémon that needed an extra boost. (All The Starters Have New Forms!)
- A challenging but fair difficulty curve, rewarding smart team-building and strategy.
- A natural feeling experience, filled with Quality Of Life!
A New Take on Balance
This ROM hack features Pokemon from Generations 1-8, but with a major twist: every Pokemon has been rebalanced to create a fair and engaging experience. No overpowered threats, no gimmicks—just a fully optimized roster where every choice is viable.
- Fully evolved Pokemon have BSTs ranging from 420-480, ensuring no single Pokemon dominates the game.
- Pseudo-Legendaries and Legendaries are slightly stronger but remain balanced to avoid power creep.
- Almost all Pokemon have new typings, encouraging fresh strategies and team compositions.
- Stat distributions and movepools have been refined, making formerly weak Pokemon much more viable.
- The strongest Pokemon have been adjusted, so battles are always fair and skill-based.
The Pokedex
This region is filled with underrated and underused Pokemon, giving them a chance to shine like never before! You won’t find the usual suspects like Garchomp, Metagross, or Charizard—only carefully selected Pokemon that deserve more love, such as Grumpig, Aromatisse and Mantine!
Examples:
- Use Puppetii, the new evolution to Banette, a powerful Ghost/Steel Type, with a shockingly high Attack stat!
- Use Chingling, a once forgotten Pokemon that can now shine, with incredible support and bulk!
- Use Dedenne, a powerful, fast, physically bulky Electric/Fairy type, that has excellent support and damage capabilities!
Game Versions (Difficulties)
- Story Mode (Easier Mode, A Lot Better For Normal Playthroughs):
