This hack is designed to give the opportunity to Nuzlocke or otherwise play through a game with only Pokemon that are not very good. This is supposed to add an element of challenge as well as make it possible to experience the game with more unique Pokemon!

The Pokedex was handpicked by the creator. The philosophy of the design focused on distributing encounters to the player based on the viability of a Pokemon. Each and every Pokemon within Generation 3's National Dex was discussed and debated upon whether or not they were to be included within the stream of the creator.

The only changes made were to wild Pokemon and static encounters as well as adding NPCs that restrict access to certain areas. The reasoning behind this is to get as close to “Beating Pokemon Emerald with only bad Pokemon” as possible.

The game is optimized for the Nuzlocke challenge and that is in my opinion the most fun way to play it. More info here. That being said feel free to enjoy the game in whatever way you like. The balance is also made with the fact in mind that trade evolutions are unavailable, that’s why Onix, Machoke and Haunter are in the game.

Of course the list of available encounters and all other content is subject to change. If you have any constructive criticism or feedback or notice any bugs feel free to post in the forum threads or the discord.
