Project Version V1 (27/04/2026) - The game is complete and fully playable, offering a balanced yet ruthless trashlocke experience through the modified Hoenn region.
Key Features
GauntletsEvery route, gym, and dungeon is a gauntlet where escape via items or moves is impossible until every enemy trainer is defeated.
Level Cap SystemMandatory intermediate level caps are enforced to prevent over-leveling and ensure the Elite Four are fought on equal terms.
Altered ProgressionCertain areas are accessed earlier or have been made mandatory, such as the Trick House and Abandoned Ship.
Free EXP and Relic CandiesPokémon Centers feature EXP trainers for easy leveling, while rare Relic Candies allow players to bypass intermediate caps.
Nerfed HMs & Setup MovesPlayer setup moves have reduced PP and common HMs like Surf have reduced power, while the AI retains original stats.
Removed EVsDefeating Pokémon no longer yields EVs and vitamins no longer work, removing the ability to grind for stat advantages.
Forced Set ModePlayers are locked into Set mode, preventing free switches after fainting an opponent's Pokémon.
Removed Badge BoostsThe internal stat boosts traditionally granted by earning gym badges have been disabled.
Restricted HealingHealing items are disabled during battle, meaning recovery is only possible through held items.
Finite ResourcesMoney and items are limited as berry farming, wild held items, Pick Up, and trainer rematches have been removed.
Unique StartersPlayers choose between Lileep, Tyrogue, or Zubat, representing three distinct playstyles and classes.
Evolution ChangesAll evolutions are now level-based, with most being delayed or removed to maintain the "trashlocke" challenge.
Expanded EncountersMost areas offer 6 to 12 varied captures with a focus on balance and environmental storytelling.
Custom TradesBrand new trade NPCs are available that will accept any Pokémon in exchange for a new encounter.
Updated GraphicsFeatures custom tiles, palettes, and a new UI for the Summary screen, PC boxes, trainer card, and bag.
New Scripts and EventsDozens of new mini-events and dialogue changes have been added for guidance and world-building.
New TMs and ItemsSome TMs have been replaced with new moves like Detect and Dream Eater, complemented by brand-new items.
Quality of LifeIncludes a Move Relearner in every Pokémon Center, FireRed style fishing, fast Nurse Joy, instant egg hatching, and cheaper Pokeballs.
