PROGRESS: Current Version: 1.0: [Main Game Complete, Postgame In Progress]

It is a hardcore, doubles-focused enhancement hack that transforms the classic Hoenn adventure into the ultimate strategic experience. Built on the Emerald Expansion base, this game is a doubles-only challenge from start to finish, featuring both Mega Evolution and Terastallization to create unprecedented strategic depth. Assemble your team from a roster of Pokémon spanning all nine generations and face off against major bosses with randomized party pools, making every playthrough and Nuzlocke attempt a unique and unpredictable challenge. Designed for strategic players, the game eliminates the grind with optional toggles for perfect IVs/no EVs and "Super Candies" that instantly level you to the cap, allowing you to focus purely on teambuilding and battling.

🛑Features:

➡️Dual Battle Gimmicks: Mega Evolution & Terastallization: The game includes both the Mega Evolution and Terastallization mechanics at various stages, along with a way to change your Pokémon's Tera type.

➡️100% Double Battles: Every single battle and wild encounter after saving Professor Birch is a double battle.

➡️Randomized Boss Parties: Major boss trainers have randomized party pools, meaning their teams will be different in each playthrough, which significantly increases replayability and the difficulty of hardcore Nuzlockes.

➡️Pokémon up to Generation 9: Every Pokémon from the first nine generations is available in the game, with the exception of the most powerful "box art" legendaries, who are planned for a future update.

➡️Minimal Grinding System: The game is designed to eliminate grinding with several key features, including optional toggles for 0 EVs and Perfect IVs in Birch's Lab, Super Candies that instantly level your Pokémon to the current level cap, and a dedicated EV/IV editor.

➡️Randomized & Dual Starters: You are offered a choice of randomized Fire, Water, and Grass starters from three different regions, and you are also gifted a second starter by Professor Birch.

➡️New & Rebalanced Content: The game features many new abilities, moves, and items. Numerous Pokémon have received buffs to their stats, abilities, and moves, ranging from minor tweaks to complete overhauls. Weaker items like the Adrenaline Orb and Absorb Bulb have also been buffed.

➡️Expanded World & New Side Story: Explore both expanded and brand-new areas in the Hoenn region. A new side story is included that will unlock a special area for legendary Pokémon encounters in a future patch.

➡️Modern TM List: The game includes every TM available in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as well as two new custom TMs.

➡️Key Quality of Life Upgrades: Features include a combined bike that can be swapped with the 'R' button, a PokéVial for healing that gets bigger as you defeat Gym Leaders, an Infinite Repel, and updated battle backgrounds.
