PROGRESS: Project Version v2.1.0-EX Completed (16/05/2026) - A complete reimagining of Pokémon as a Roguelite featuring procedural generation, persistent hub upgrades, and modern Gen 9 mechanics.

A reimagining of Pokémon as a Roguelite where every adventure features procedurally generated routes, encounters, and items. Between runs, you return to a persistent hub area to buy permanent upgrades, unlock new buildings, and prepare for your next attempt to defeat the Champion.

🛑Features:

➡️Procedural Adventures: Every time you go on a run, all routes, encounters, items, and Gym Leader teams are randomly chosen based on your progress.

➡️Hub Area: A central zone where you can buy permanent items, catch new "starter" Pokémon, and unlock new NPCs and buildings to prepare for future runs.

➡️Z-A Content: Includes the first batch of Z-A Megas and a dedicated Z-A Pokédex option with unique rewards like the Eternal Floette encounter.

➡️Battle Overlay: A modern UI addition that allows you to see current field effects such as hazards and weather, as well as stat buffs and Pokédex entries during battle.

➡️Quest & Reward System: A comprehensive system of challenges that guides your progress and rewards you for handling different gameplay difficulties.

➡️Game Configuration: Highly customizable settings including trainer difficulty, level caps, double battle mode, and seeded modes for multiplayer races.

➡️Speedup Options: New toggles for overworld and screen transition speedups, including the ability to press L to toggle speed at any time.

➡️Safari Zone: Allows you to capture Pokémon you have previously used in successful or failed runs to use as starters in the next run.

➡️Modern Battle Mechanics: The EX version includes modern improvements such as the Physical/Special split, Fairy type, Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terastalization.

➡️QoL Improvements: Features include auto-item pickup, quick-heal options in the summary menu, instant interaction text, and reusable TMs.

➡️Revised Evolutions: Trade evolutions now trigger via holding items or using a Link Cable, while friendship and beauty evolutions occur at level 20.

➡️Increased Shiny Rate: The base shiny rate has been drastically increased to approximately 1/100.

➡️Character Customization: Players can customize their character's appearance and unlock various trainer outfits, including Team Plasma and Team Flare styles.
