PROGRESS: Complete v1.0.1 (14/11/2026) — Full game playable across Hoenn, including the Delta Episode and postgame, with ongoing updates planned.

Described as “a complete demake+ of Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, a love letter to Hoenn, and much, much more!” Named after the mathematical symbol for a small change (“an avalanche of small changes”), it lets you soar over Hoenn with original artwork and music, new areas, and Secret Base decorations.

🛑Features:

➡️Pokémon Roster & Evolutions: All 386 Gen 1–3 species plus their regional forms, evolutions, and Mega Evolutions, along with Riolu, Lucario, and “something secret” (such as Roserade, Alolan Ninetales, Sirfetch’d, and Annihilape; convergent species like Wugtrio are excluded, and Hisuian forms are in the code but not distributed yet).

➡️Also includes a custom Mega Milotic, alternate regional evolution methods (shown in the Pokédex), Level 100 Rare Candy evolutions, and non-Hoenn fossil revival at Devon Corp.

➡️Battle Mechanics & Updates: Uses RHH’s expansion with the physical/special split, Fairy type, Gen 9 abilities and base stats (generally), and composite learnsets (mostly Gen 6 with modern moves added). Hail replaces Snow while still giving Ice-types +1 Defense, type effectiveness shows in battle, Poison Heal Pokémon no longer take poison damage, and select Pokémon receive minor ability, stat, move, or type tweaks (such as Dark/Fairy Mega Absol, Water/Psychic Golduck, Water/Ghost Cursola, Water/Dark Huntail, and updated Cosplay Pikachu forms).

➡️Difficulty, Trainers & Nuzlocke: Three difficulty modes: Easy (standard), Normal (SET style, max 2 Bag items per battle), and Hard (SET style, zero Bag items, trainer levels scale to your party). Every trainer has a reworked team, Normal and Hard include badge-scaling soft level caps with diminishing EXP returns, Prof. Birch’s lab has an intern for a built-in Nuzlocke mode, and Wally can be rematched in the Battle Frontier’s Ranking Hall.

➡️ORAS Story, Exploration & BuzzNav: A complete, playable Delta Episode, ORAS NPCs (Prof. Cozmo, Aarune, Lisia, Zinnia, and others), Soaring on Latias or Latios with Mirage Spots, and flying directly to Routes instead of just towns or cities. Also includes new areas near Route 111 and Dewford Town, a postgame Rustboro EV and level-up training area, a postgame sidequest for the gear-switching Machro Bike, and updated TV shows / BuzzNav.

➡️Contests, Cosplay Pikachu & Pokéblocks: Mega Evolution and Spectacular Talents in Contests, Contest sidequests with Lisia, Chaz, and Wallace, Cosplay Pikachu (with updated types, abilities, and moves), and unlimited Pokéblock sheen limits.

➡️Visuals, Audio & Overworld: Custom-coded following/walking Pokémon (with hundreds of conditional messages, every Poké Ball, and Shiny Leaves), day/night lighting and encounters, and Gen 6–7 style icons everywhere (including the PC) with shiny support. Also includes dozens of new or arranged music tracks, original artwork, higher-quality audio via ipatix’s mixer, decapitalized text, cosmetic and tile error fixes, and easter eggs.

➡️Secret Bases, Trades & Connectivity: Vanilla-compatible Super-Secret Bases with new Hoenn spots, mGBA savestate sharing, in-game bases for the Mauville Old Guys, and functional decorations like the Berry Pot, Berry Blender, and Pinball Machine. Pokémon Memories stay intact during trades, Mystery Gift accepts Wonder Cards and Wonder Codes, GameCube connectivity works with Colosseum, XD, and Channel (including Jirachi), and saves are bidirectionally compatible with vanilla Emerald, Pal Park, PKHeX, and Bank/Home transfer.

➡️Pokédex, DexNav & Shiny Hunting: A detailed Pokédex (showing evolution methods, learnsets, and fast paging), DexNav, and the FRLG Fame Checker. Base shiny odds are 1/8192, with extra rolls from the Shiny Charm (+2/8192 for completing the Hoenn Dex), daily postgame donations to the Ninetales statue (+1/8192), Masuda breeding (+5/8192), and ORAS-style DexNav odds.

➡️TMs/HMs, Training & Move Tutors: Reusable TMs, HMs usable without being taught, toggleable Exp. Share, Hyper Training with Bottle Caps, single-use move tutors reset once per day, and extra move tutors in Mauville, Sootopolis, and Meteor Falls.

➡️Breeding, Berries & Items: Modernized breeding, an idle Egg-hatching timer item (which also calls SeedRng(gMain.vblankCounter1)), Shuckle making Berry Juice, faster Berry interactions with higher yields, X/Y-style Berry mutations, almost every item repeatable, and static ORAS-style Feebas tiles (100% Prism Scale when fished dynamically).

➡️UI, Menu & Traversal QoL: Doubled “Fast” text speed (hold A and B to auto-advance), fewer repeated NPC prompts (such as Nurse Joy), shorter whiteout rematch text, muteable Match Calls from random trainers, hold-A faster medicine use, and Start-button auto-heal.

➡️You can also register up to 4 Key Items, see “Organize Boxes” first in the PC, sort, page, and hold more in Bag pockets, view landmarks, Berries, and Secret Bases on the PokéNav map, and change your name or gender at your bedroom mirror.

➡️System, Frontier & Technical QoL: Increased Battle Frontier BP rewards, vanilla (zero-seeded) or RTC-seeded RNG options, fixes for known vanilla bugs (except the fun ones), and a crash handler with an error reporting screen.
