Pokemon GBA Rom Hack: Beach scene with characters

Author: DukeFP.

PROGRESS: Current Version: 3.0: 14/09/2025 - Till Gym 3 only.

As the player, you are on the ship S.S. Goldenrod, which has reached its final location, Phyor Island. You had to abandon your former Pokémon, sadly, as no passengers were allowed to take along Pokémon with them. One of the other passengers, Brendan, a kid from Hoenn, gets his Starter Pokémon from the strange, local Professor on board at the same time as you do, after you tried to leave the ship.

🛑Features:

➡️A Brand New Region: Explore the completely new Phyor Island.

➡️Unique Starter Trio: Begin your adventure with an unconventional choice between three unique Pokémon: Phanpy, Grimer, and Cacnea.

➡️Curated Pokédex (Gen 1-8): The game features a large, custom-selected roster of Pokémon from the first eight generations, including past starters that can be found in the wild.

➡️Custom Mega Evolutions: The game includes brand new, custom-made Mega Evolutions for Muk, Donphan, Beartic, Torkoal, and a secret, redacted Pokémon.

➡️Modern Battle Mechanics: The battle system has been updated to include the modern Physical/Special Split and the Fairy Type.

➡️Challenging Difficulty: The game is designed to be difficult, featuring high level spikes in trainer and wild Pokémon battles that will test your skills.

➡️Rebalanced Gameplay: To account for the early availability of Surf, its base power has been lowered to 50. Several Pokémon, including the starters, have had Surf added to their movepools. Cacturne has also been buffed to be on par with the other starters' final forms.

➡️DexNav Planned: The popular DexNav feature is a planned addition for a future update.
