Major Features

  1. Complete Visual Overhaul:

    • Sprites for Pokémon use a Game Boy Color (GBC) style, specifically from Generation 2, with contributions from talented artists.
  2. Upgraded Pokédex:
    • Inspired by the HeartGold/SoulSilver (HGSS) Pokédex but in a GBC style, with additional detailed information, including evolution methods and movesets.
  3. All Pokémon from Generations 1-3 Available:
    • Every Pokémon from Generations 1 through 3 is obtainable in the game, including their cross-generational evolutions (like Weavile and Annihilape). Some “easter egg” Pokémon from later generations are also present.
  4. Overworld Following Pokémon:
    • Pokémon will follow you around in the overworld, adding an interactive element to exploration.
  5. Battle System Upgrades:
    • New battle mechanics from the Pokeemerald expansion, including:
      • Fairy type introduction
      • Physical/Special split
    • Party-wide EXP Share with soft level caps to maintain balance and reduce grind.
    • Z-Moves can be unlocked by obtaining the Z-Power Ring and Z-Crystals from the DEVON Corporation after delivering Steven’s letter. These are completely optional.
