PROGRESS: Project Version r.1.0.5 (Completed) - 30/07/2024 - This is a complete game. The full Sinnoh story and the post-game content are both finished and playable from start to finish. The game is still receiving balance updates and bug fixes.

It is a challenging overhaul of Pokémon Platinum, built upon the foundation of the legendary Renegade Platinum. This hack's primary goal is to create a fresh and strategic Sinnoh experience by introducing 30 brand new, custom-made Sinnohan Forms, each with unique designs, types, and stats. The game completely changes the competitive landscape by removing Effort Values (EVs) for both the player and the AI, creating a level playing field where strategy is paramount. Gym Leaders have been redesigned to use gimmick-based teams rather than single types, and a major buff to the Ice type reshapes the entire meta. This is a must-play for fans of Renegade Platinum seeking a brand new, deeply strategic, and uniquely balanced adventure.

🛑Features:

➡️30 New Sinnohan Forms: The game's core feature. Discover 30 brand new, custom-made regional variants, each with unique designs, typings, stats, abilities, and Pokédex entries.

➡️EV-less Increased Difficulty: Effort Values (EVs) have been completely removed from the game for both the player and NPC trainers, creating a level playing field where you cannot win by grinding stats.

➡️Gimmick-Based Gym Leaders: Gym Leaders no longer specialize in a single Pokémon type. Instead, their teams are built around a specific strategy or gimmick, such as Roark's Stealth Rock team.

➡️Radically Buffed Ice Type: The Ice type has been significantly improved, with its weakness to Rock removed and new resistances to Water, Ground, and Dragon added.

➡️Rebalanced & Reworked Pokémon: Building on Renegade Platinum's changes, many Pokémon have been further altered with new stats, abilities, and movesets to make a wider variety of Pokémon viable.

➡️New Custom Moves: The game includes brand new moves with custom animations, including signature moves like "Steel Feathers" and "Cosmic Void."

➡️Renegade Platinum Foundation: The hack is built upon the solid and feature-rich foundation of Drayano's famous Renegade Platinum, inheriting many of its quality-of-life improvements.

➡️Custom Shinies & Increased Rate: The game features many newly recolored shiny Pokémon and retains Renegade Platinum's high shiny encounter rate of 1/512.

➡️New Post-Game Superboss: A new, challenging superboss battle has been added to the post-game, equivalent in difficulty to the Steven Stone fight in Renegade Platinum.

➡️Updated Dialogue & Lore: Some NPC dialogue has been rewritten to include new jokes, references, and lore to help integrate the new Sinnohan Forms into the world.

➡️Setup Moves Nerfed: To prevent easy sweeps against the AI, setup moves that boost stats by more than one stage (like Swords Dance) have had their PP reduced to 1.

➡️Modern Moves Added: The game includes some newer moves with custom animations, such as Dual Wingbeat and Triple Axel.

➡️Tougher Than Renegade Platinum: The game is explicitly designed to be more difficult than the base Renegade Platinum hack it was built on.
