This is a mod for a role-playing game, released on April 26, 2020. It builds upon an existing title to introduce significant new content and gameplay alterations, focusing on strategic creature collection and battling within familiar regions. The experience is enhanced with numerous quality-of-life improvements and a rebalanced approach to creature abilities and movesets.

What is the Core Gameplay Loop?

The fundamental gameplay involves collecting, training, and battling with creatures. This mod significantly expands the challenge by rebalancing the game to make a wider variety of creatures viable in combat, moving beyond commonly used strategies. Players will encounter new movesets and strategies, particularly in challenging double battles against various trainers, including Gym Leaders and Elite Four equivalents from the Johto and Hoenn regions. A distinctive feature is the disabling of items during combat, requiring players to rely solely on their creatures' stats, abilities, and moves.

What Makes This Mod Unique?

This mod introduces a comprehensive overhaul of creature mechanics and content. A key feature is the Abilities Overhaul, where previously underutilized abilities have been replaced with more impactful ones, encouraging diverse team building. The Learnset Overhaul adds up to one egg move to each creature's learnset, further expanding strategic options. Additionally, the mod aims to make all Kanto and Johto creatures obtainable, alongside many from the Hoenn region, totaling 373 creatures without the need for trading, enhancing the collection aspect.

Boss Battles and Challenges

The mod features an extensive number of boss encounters, with 26 main story boss battles and an additional 35 optional boss battles, totaling 61. These encounters are designed to test players' strategic thinking and team composition, especially with the new movesets and the absence of items in battle.

Starters come with an Exp. Share.
