Game Description

It is a challenging overhaul of Pokémon Platinum, built upon the foundation of the legendary Renegade Platinum. This hack's primary goal is to create a fresh and strategic Sinnoh experience by introducing 30 brand new, custom-made Sinnohan Forms, each with unique designs, types, and stats. The game completely changes the competitive landscape by removing Effort Values (EVs) for both the player and the AI, creating a level playing field where strategy is paramount. Gym Leaders have been redesigned to use gimmick-based teams rather than single types, and a major buff to the Ice type reshapes the entire meta. This is a must-play for fans of Renegade Platinum seeking a brand new, deeply strategic, and uniquely balanced adventure.

Project Version r.1.0.5 (Completed) - 30/07/2024 - This is a complete game. The full Sinnoh story and the post-game content are both finished and playable from start to finish. The game is still receiving balance updates and bug fixes.

Key Features

30 New Sinnohan FormsThe game's core feature. Discover 30 brand new, custom-made regional variants, each with unique designs, typings, stats, abilities, and Pokédex entries.

EV-less Increased DifficultyEffort Values (EVs) have been completely removed from the game for both the player and NPC trainers, creating a level playing field where you cannot win by grinding stats.

Gimmick-Based Gym LeadersGym Leaders no longer specialize in a single Pokémon type. Instead, their teams are built around a specific strategy or gimmick, such as Roark's Stealth Rock team.

Radically Buffed Ice TypeThe Ice type has been significantly improved, with its weakness to Rock removed and new resistances to Water, Ground, and Dragon added.

Rebalanced & Reworked PokémonBuilding on Renegade Platinum's changes, many Pokémon have been further altered with new stats, abilities, and movesets to make a wider variety of Pokémon viable.

New Custom MovesThe game includes brand new moves with custom animations, including signature moves like "Steel Feathers" and "Cosmic Void."

Renegade Platinum FoundationThe hack is built upon the solid and feature-rich foundation of Drayano's famous Renegade Platinum, inheriting many of its quality-of-life improvements.

Custom Shinies & Increased RateThe game features many newly recolored shiny Pokémon and retains Renegade Platinum's high shiny encounter rate of 1/512.

New Post-Game SuperbossA new, challenging superboss battle has been added to the post-game, equivalent in difficulty to the Steven Stone fight in Renegade Platinum.

Updated Dialogue & LoreSome NPC dialogue has been rewritten to include new jokes, references, and lore to help integrate the new Sinnohan Forms into the world.

Setup Moves NerfedTo prevent easy sweeps against the AI, setup moves that boost stats by more than one stage (like Swords Dance) have had their PP reduced to 1.

Modern Moves AddedThe game includes some newer moves with custom animations, such as Dual Wingbeat and Triple Axel.

Tougher Than Renegade PlatinumThe game is explicitly designed to be more difficult than the base Renegade Platinum hack it was built on.
