Description

Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Skies is a vanilla-style enhancement of the original game, designed to provide a fresh yet faithful experience. Every dungeon has been reworked with unique twists—like dangerous bonus floors, permanent weather effects, or resource scarcity, adding new variety and challenge without going full Kaizo.

The hack also introduces quality-of-life improvements, revamped spawn lists, and a carefully tuned difficulty curve. The goal is to preserve the charm and immersion of the original while deepening gameplay, much like how Drayano approaches his Pokémon hacks.
