Description
A feature-rich "Vanilla+" romhack set in the Kulure region, built on the CFRU engine. It emphasizes an authentic GBA-era feel while providing a modern challenge. The game features a completely original plot focused on "wishes," a curated Pokédex of over 300 Pokémon (Gens 1-8), and significant post-game content including the Ultra Episode and Champion Title Defense.
Features
- New Region (Kulure) : A seamless, connected world designed with high biome diversity, including deserts, volcanic peaks, and snowy routes.
- PokeChips Currency : A secondary currency earned from wild battles used for high-value services like move tutoring and special item shops.
- Difficulty Modes : Includes Casual and Standard modes, plus a v1.1 Hard Mode which enforces hard level caps and gives boss trainers additional Pokémon, competitive items, and better AI.
- Game Modifiers : A built-in "cheat" system unlocked in the post-game that allows for species randomizers, ability/moveset randomization, and permanent shiny encounters.
- Custom Gym Concepts : Gyms focus on battle synergies rather than types, such as the Rhodanzi Gym (Terrain), Heleo Gym (Weather), and Laplaz Gym (Stat Changes).
- Ultra Episode : A massive post-game story arc involving Ultra Wormholes, Ultra Beasts, and a cinematic finale against Ultra Necrozma.
- Frostbite Status : The traditional Frozen status is replaced by Frostbite, which deals damage every turn and lowers the Pokémon's Special Attack.
- Trainer Houses : Special facilities found in various towns that offer unique battle styles like Inverse Battles , Sky Battles , and Camomon (types determined by moves).
- Porta PC & Gadgets : Post-game rewards including a Portable PC accessible from the menu, Infinite Repel , and the PokeVial (a field-healing item).
- ADM (Advanced Digging n' Diving Machine) : A key item that allows players to use HM moves in the overworld without needing a Pokémon that knows the move.
- Underground Mining (v1.1) : A dedicated minigame added in the v1.1 update located in Ferrox Village, allowing players to dig for items and PokeChips.
- Legendary World Events : Custom-scripted overworld encounters for the Galarian Bird Trio, the Weather Trio (Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza), Shaymin, and Zeraora.
- Champion Title Defense : Replaces the static Elite Four rematch with a system where the player defends their title against 14 possible challengers.
- Expanded Pokedex Features : The Pokédex displays base stats, shows time-of-day dependent encounter maps, and tracks the total species available in the region.
- Nature & IV Visibility : Summary screens color-code stats affected by Natures (Red for +, Blue for -) and a v1.1 toggle allows players to see IV letter grades (F to S+).
- New Mega Evolutions : Includes custom Mega Evolution stones for Pokémon that previously only had Gigantamax forms, such as Lapras, Cinderace, and Corviknight.
- Daily Events : Repeatable daily content including the "Slowpoke News" Pokémon sightings, the Daimyn Mall "Deal of the Day," and the "Lucky Draw."
- Move Tutor Improvements : Move Tutors are standardized to teach 8 moves each, and the Move Reminder can teach Egg Moves in exchange for PokeChips.
- Refined HMs : HM moves can be forgotten freely without a Move Deleter, and the "confirmation" prompt for Surf and Rock Climb has been removed for faster travel.
