Description
It is a ROM hack that tells an entirely new story in a custom dual-region environment. While there are many awesome enhancement hacks of games like Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, it is time for NDS hacking to take itself to the next level of quality.

- Custom Region - A fully original region (East Iridia) with unique towns, biomes, and visuals using Gen 5-6 graphics.
- Custom Story - Features new characters, two villain teams (Plasma & Galactic), and a mix of light and darker story themes.
- Modern Dex - Includes Pokémon from Generations 1-9 with custom learnsets and no stat/type changes.
- Modern Mechanics - Features modern moves, abilities, terrains, dynamic speed, and Mega Evolutions (no Dynamax/Tera).
- Mirror Battles - Puzzle-style battles where you and the opponent use the exact same team with different leads.
- Custom UI - Overhauled bag and summary screen for a cleaner and more modern experience.
- Difficulty Settings - Elite Mode (challenging, enforced level caps) and Casual Mode (vanilla-style with optional caps).
- Battle AI - Rewritten Gen 4 AI with smart decision-making and strategic trainer battle designs.
- Custom Music - Over 100 custom/ported tracks from classic Pokémon and original compositions.
- Quality of Life Features - Porta-PC, Porta-Move Relearner, instant text, transparent boxes, level cap candy, EV/IV viewer, 60 FPS battles.
