This is a fan-made modification of a classic role-playing adventure game, originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2011. It reimagines the familiar world of the Hoenn region, presenting a significantly altered landscape and narrative three years after the events of a major disaster known as the Hoenn Catastrophe. This cataclysmic event, triggered by a meteor shower, reshaped the southern parts of the region into barren wastelands and led to the destruction of key facilities like the Battle Frontier. The catastrophe also had a profound impact on the region's wildlife, causing extinctions and, more notably, the emergence of new, mysterious Pokémon species referred to as Meteoric Pokémon. The story begins with the player character moving into Littleroot Town, where Professor Birch tasks them with completing the Pokédex to document these newly discovered species. Along the way, players will encounter Professor Birch's niece or nephew, April or Gordon, and Billy, the younger brother of the current League Champion, Wally. A recurring character is Mosmero, the younger brother of Petalburg Gym Leader Romero, known for his peculiar pranks throughout the region.

The Hoenn Catastrophe and Its Aftermath

The core narrative revolves around the aftermath of the Hoenn Catastrophe. This event serves as the backdrop for a new adventure, introducing a world that is both familiar and drastically changed. The environmental devastation and the appearance of unique Meteoric Pokémon create a distinct atmosphere and set the stage for new challenges and discoveries. Players are tasked with exploring this altered region, documenting the new Pokémon, and unraveling the mysteries surrounding their appearance.

Core Gameplay and Unique Features

As a modification of a role-playing game, the fundamental gameplay loop involves exploration, battling, and collecting. Players will traverse the transformed Hoenn region, encountering wild Pokémon, engaging in strategic turn-based battles, and training their team. A key element of this modification is the introduction of new Pokémon species, offering players fresh creatures to discover and add to their party. The narrative focuses on these new additions and the impact of the catastrophe on the region's ecosystem.

What Makes This Modification Stand Out?

This modification distinguishes itself by offering a significantly altered Hoenn region and a narrative centered around a cataclysmic event and the subsequent emergence of new Pokémon species. It provides a fresh perspective on a beloved game world, introducing new challenges and a unique set of creatures to encounter and train. The focus on documenting these new Meteoric Pokémon forms a central part of the player's objective.

New Pokémon and Regional Changes

The introduction of Meteoric Pokémon is a primary draw, offering players a roster of new creatures with unique designs and potential abilities. These Pokémon are intrinsically linked to the Hoenn Catastrophe, adding a layer of lore and mystery to their existence. The altered landscape of Hoenn also presents new environments to explore, potentially with different wild Pokémon encounters and strategic considerations.

Story Progression and Character Interactions

The story unfolds as the player undertakes the task of completing the Pokédex. Interactions with characters like Professor Birch, April/Gordon, Billy, and Mosmero provide narrative progression and context for the player's journey. Mosmero's presence as a prankster adds a touch of lightheartedness amidst the post-catastrophe setting.
