PROGRESS: Project Version 0.1.0 - 03/11/2025

It is a reimagining of the classic Kanto journey, designed to feel like a fresh, strategic adventure built with the Pokémon Essentials engine. While it follows the path of FireRed/LeafGreen, nearly every aspect of the game has been revised. The core of this fangame is its 100% double battle system, a curated Kanto/Johto Pokédex with rebalanced stats and types, and zero IVs for a perfectly even playing field. Explore a version of Kanto where you can rematch any trainer, plant berries anywhere, and teach your Pokémon moves with the innovative "Tutor.net." With three difficulty settings and Nuzlocke support, this is a must-play for anyone looking for a refreshing and strategic take on the original Kanto story.

🛑Features:

➡️100% Double Battles: Every single trainer battle in the game is a double battle, fundamentally changing the strategic approach to the Kanto journey.

➡️High-Chance Double Wild Encounters: In taller grass patches, there is a 100% chance of encountering two wild Pokémon at once.

➡️Zero IVs for All Pokémon: To create a perfectly even and strategic playing field, all Pokémon in the game—both yours and your opponents'—have their Individual Values (IVs) set to zero.

➡️Rebalanced EV System: The Effort Value (EV) system has been adjusted. The maximum total EVs a Pokémon can have is 500, with a maximum of 200 in any single stat.

➡️Three Difficulty Settings: You can choose between Easy, Normal, and Hard modes at the start of the game. These settings affect level caps and some in-game interactions, with Hard Mode being designed to be similar in difficulty to the original FireRed/LeafGreen.

➡️Nuzlocke Guideline Support: The game provides in-game information and is designed to be friendly for players who wish to do a Nuzlocke run.

➡️Level Caps: The game enforces level caps to maintain a structured and challenging experience.

➡️Curated Pokédex (Kanto, Johto & Evos): The game features a limited and curated roster consisting of Pokémon from the Kanto and Johto regions, as well as their evolutions from later generations.

➡️Rebalanced Stats, Types & Movesets: Many Pokémon have had their base stats and types changed for better balance in a doubles format. All Pokémon have rewritten level-up movesets to ensure they get useful STAB attacks.

➡️Single Ability Pokémon: Every Pokémon has only one possible ability. There are no secondary or hidden abilities, simplifying team building and making each ability choice more impactful.

➡️Unobstructive Route Design: The game is designed so that you do not have to trudge through tall grass to get from one place to another, streamlining exploration.

➡️Universal Berry Planting: Every route, town, and city in the game has accessible soil patches for planting berries. Berry trees grow quickly and produce a high yield of up to ten berries.

➡️Trainer Rematches: You can rematch trainers throughout the world to gain experience.

➡️Overworld Pokémon Encounters: In addition to tall grass, some Pokémon can be found in the overworld and directly interacted with to start a battle. ➡️Tutor.net" System: A unique and extensive move tutor system that groups moves by type or category (such as biting moves, punching moves, etc.), offering deep customization for your Pokémon's movesets.

➡️In-Game Documentation: A recurring book can be found in-game that provides detailed information about all the changes, including the updated type table.
