Info
Have you ever wanted to play a difficult Pokemon game? One that reminds you a little bit of the competitive doubles format? Look no further. This is a ROM hack of Platinum that has revamped the entire Sinnoh region for a competitive doubles experience. This game is intended to be nuzlocked, but is also very fun if you play just to see how many tries it takes to beat some of the harder trainers!
List of Features
- ~300 Pokemon available: ALL of which have completely revamped movesets and many of which have buffs (the weaker ones like Tropius, Corsola, etc...). Many Pokemons learn status moves early on and then proceed to learn stronger stab moves and coverage moves in later levels. You'll notice that most Pokemon you can catch are viable or have a niche.
- 137 Move changes/reworks
- 117+ ability changes: All useless abilities removed from the Pokemon that's added to the game. For instance, Magcargo no longer can have magma armor. Instead, it is one of a few Drought users. Some bulkier Pokemon have access to Filter or Battle Armor.
- 52 evolution changes: To fix those Pokemon that need trade evolutions. They evolve by leveling up
- 42+ type changes: To add novelty but also to make certain Pokemon more viable that otherwise wouldn't be. For example, Exploud is a Fighting/Normal dual type and has access to STAB Aura Sphere, while also having Scrappy as its ability.
- All fishing rod encounters have been changed to only use the old rod for simplicity.
- Rare candies are available for CHEAP so no grinding! This game is focused on battling. If you want to play with level caps on each gym.
- This game also features a doubles battle with Cynthia on Route 208 before Hearthome city.
- The starters also have been changed to Mudkip, Chimchar, and Bulbasaur.
