Story
You start out in a town named Eon Town, in a brand new region. Upon leaving your room, your sibling tells you that the professor is eagerly waiting for you to come to the lab, so that you can obtain your first Pokemon.
On your way to become the best trainer, you’ll face two Team Rocket grunts which will interfere with your plans, and you will have to stop them in their tracks multiple times thorough the story. There are also, apart from the players sibling, many rivals such as May, Brendan (friendly rivals), and Denzel (the not so friendly rival).
Features
- A brand new region with lots of new maps, events that differ from the original games.
- Some custom palettes (some ow tiles, ), custom ow sprite, backsprite (for male player only), new town map. (making these is way harder than it seems).
- Some custom added ASM routines (releasing a pokemon – not using the pc, The IV display on the stat menu).
- Lots of pokemon available, including all legendary pokemon from gen1 to gen3 which can be obtained with various methods (some before the elite 4, some with certain requirements, some randomly by chance, etc…)
- New music tracks (mostly battle tracks)
- A place after the elite 4 where you can battle against one of the 19 NPC’s (the choice of the NPC is random, and every NPC there was previously encountered/the player interacted with the NPC) – called the CK Frontier (although that’s the only feature as of now).
- All 8 badges obtainable, and the elite 4 and the champion events are available.
Useful Information
HM locations and requirements to obtain them
- HM 01: Cut – Star Pathway, a man there is selling the HM. The player needs to defeat Denzel in Veotron route before being able to get to Star Pathway.
- HM 02: Fly – Bloue Metropolis’s gym – Player has to defeat Blake to obtain it.
- HM 03: Surf – Obtainable after defeating Brendan in Chaos Ruins.
- HM 04: Strength – Unknown Hill (South, located after some cut trees) – Player has to defeat team rocket and commando in Fantasy Metropolis first.
- HM 05: Flash – Champ Makers – Given to player by a youngster before entering Dim Cave.
- HM 06: Rock Smash – Dim cave – Located at the very end of the cave – Player has to defeat some hikers in order to be able to access it.
- HM 07: Waterfall (optional) – Voxel Town (North, grassy area) – No requirements, player just needs to access this city and obtain it. Used for accessing a cave in Sylectro Lane in which a legendary Pokemon resides.
Some tips (to not get lost in the game)
After defeating Brendan in Chaos Ruins, backtracking east is not possible. Player should catch a water type pokemon in Chaos Ruins, teach it surf and then advance further north. In case the player runs out of pokeballs, and has no water type with themselves to be able to cross the water pond east of Veotron, an old man there can teleport you to Neonox City.
It is recommended to catch a pokemon that can learn cut (Ratatta, Cubone, Sentret) and a pokemon that can learn fly (Spearow, Pidgey, Hoothoot) before entering Bloue Metropolis, so that you don’t have to backtrack a lot to catch one of the pokemon to be the HM user.
Healing nurses that are not in poke centers won’t set your healing place in that location, they’re there just in case you really need healing.
When arriving in Louren Town and going to Unknown Hill, you’ll need goggles to enter the area. The first time you enter Unknown hill , an NPC will apprear in Louren which will give you the goggles so you can enter Unknown Hill.
Toy Meowth is located north – east of Greenleaf Route.
Silph Scope can be found north – east of Champ Makers.
After finding Prof’s parcel in Aquares Island, head to Voxel City east from Champ Makers.
Before entering Fantasy Metropolis, you need a gym badge from Chronos Downtown.
When arriving in Fantasy Metropolis, defeat team rocket grunts that are in front of the gym, then challenge Commando (gym leader).
After challenging Commando, head to Unknown Hill to get HM Strength, then head to Misty Valley (west of Louren Town).
After defeating team rocket grunts in Misty Valley, fly to Chronos Downtown and proceed left, Denzel waits there.
Denzel then tells you to go to Lightstone Route (East of Florrest Village, talk to Kabuto so it moves!), you can’t enter Lightstone Route north of Voxel Town.
After defeating Denzel, return to Chronos and keep going left to Warain Waterpath.
You should battle Brocc there, (south of Warain Waterpath) before proceeding left to Edeon Plateau.
Once you get to Edeon plateau the gameplay should be a tad bit more clear, however, HM Cut, HM Strength and HM Rock smash are needed to pass through Edeon Plateau.
Secrets
All gen 1 – gen 3 starter pokemon are obtainable, even the Johto starters after completing the league. All of them will be available at level 1, either in wild or given to player.
All “rare” pokemon will appear as level 1 on routes. They have a 1% chance of appearing.
All legendary pokemon gen 1 – gen 3 are available too, but to get most of them player has to access places that are normally not needed to proceed through the game properly.
Known Bugs
Although the likelyhood of bugs not existing in rom hacks is pretty low, I think that no major bugs exist here. Some movement permission errors or NPC dialogue issues/grammar errors are quite possible, though.
- Some grammatical errors.
- Occasional map/tile errors (tiles in wrong place)
- Possible NPC’s with no scripts assigned to them, causing a game freeze (though that shouldn’t be happening).
