It is a fan-made remake that reimagines the original Dark Rising story for a modern era. This project serves as a tribute to the classic difficulty hack, expanding upon its narrative and updating everything to Pokémon Essentials v21.1. You play as the rival of the original Dark Rising protagonist, uncovering the truth behind the conclusion of Dark Rising 2. The game features Mega Evolution (with craftable Mega Stones), a Physical/Special split, Fairy-type Pokémon, and a host of quality-of-life updates. With updated maps, new character sprites, and a 2-3 hour demo of the story, this is a must-play for Dark Rising fans looking to relive the challenging story in a fresh, modern way.
