Description
Pokemon Project Nova is a difficulty-focused ROM hack set in the Kanto region, devastated by mysterious earthquakes ten years after the events of FireRed and LeafGreen. These disasters reshaped the land, uncovering new locations such as Azure City and the Mystic Forest, and gave rise to unique regional forms known as “New Species.”
Designed for players seeking a true challenge, the game features revamped Gym Leaders, smarter AI, and restrictions on item use in battle. Alongside these changes, modern quality-of-life features like a Pocket PC and Rare Candies in every store help balance the difficulty. The result is a fresh, challenging, and story-driven Kanto adventure for dedicated trainers.
