Description

Features

• One of the main changes of this hack is the addition of shadow Pokemon. Mysterious shadows from within the region are corrupting Pokemon into shadow forms, making them more hostile, and giving them slight but noticeable stat boosts. Due to this corruption, pokemon with shadow forms do not have shiny forms, and each shadow Pokemon also loses its secondary typing to gain the dark, or sometimes ghost typing. Now, you may think that this is OP to have in a game. I agree, which is why the shadow Pokemon will always have 1%-5% encounter chance (with the exception of Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip), meaning that they are very rare to find.
• There are a lot of evolutions that have also been changed. All of the trade evolutions have been made easier to obtain (so you don’t need to trade), and a few other evolution methods have changed. I would list them, but right now they are one of the WIP parts that I’m still working on.
• The overall game difficulty has been increased, giving trainers higher AI’s and IV increases, and giving most trainers competitive items. To give you an idea of the changed level curve, the Elite 4 will be around lvls 70-80 instead of lvls 50-60, and the 3rd gym is around lvl 35-40 instead of 20-25 (the reason I used the 3rd badge for an example is that it’s one of the main level curves in the game).

Known Glitches​

• Some of the story text might be messed up; haven’t been able to do a playthrough with the full story text yet.
  
• The DexNav will crash the game on some routes! If you want to try to use the DexNav, save before turning it on and save before entering a new route or a new part of a route!

Changelog

V3.0

• Added custom music over the trainer theme and the gym leader theme. More music will eventually replace other themes
• Trainers, wild encounters, and rematches are complete up to the 3rd gym badge
• Added a new form to an evolution line
• There may be a future beta 3.5 that comes out with minor tweaks such as shop edits and trainer edits.

V2.5

• Fixed a lot of the levelup movesets, somehow the ones for Mudkip’s line and Treecko’s line got deleted, and I didn’t notice because I chose Torchic on my test save.
• Added encounters for Granite cave (no story added yet though)
• Fixed the title for Rayless Ruby, apparently it was using the original bad title (didn’t notice because I was playing Shadow Sapphire)

• [Experimental] Poison types are now super-effective against water and flying (pollution)
