PROGRESS: Project Version 1.0 (Completed) - 16/02/2026 - This is a complete game. The full Hoenn story, featuring the new type chart and an expanded regional Pokédex, is finished and playable from start to finish. Remaining post-game content (like E4 rematches and Battle Frontier) is planned for future updates.

It is a unique ROM hack that completely transforms the classic Hoenn experience by replacing the official type chart with the new types from the fan game (Gensou Ningyou Enbu). This means Pokémon have entirely new weaknesses, resistances, movesets, and abilities, forcing you to relearn every matchup. The game features a modernized Gen 9 battle engine (up to Scarlet & Violet), a visible day-night cycle, and an expanded Regional Pokédex of 300 Pokémon (all obtainable in single-player). With all vanilla trainers buffed for a difficulty similar to the hardest official games, this is a must-play for fans seeking a fresh, strategic, and unpredictable adventure in Hoenn.

🛑Features:

➡️Completely New Type Chart: The game's core feature. The entire official Pokémon type chart has been replaced with the unique types from the fan game (Gensou Ningyou Enbu), changing all matchups.

➡️Modern Gen 9 Battle Engine: The battle engine is fully updated to match the latest mechanics of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, including features like Frostbite replacing Freeze.

➡️Reworked Pokémon (Movesets & Abilities): All Pokémon have changed movesets and abilities to specifically accommodate and balance around the new type chart.

➡️Expanded Regional Pokédex (300 Pokémon): The Hoenn Regional Pokédex has been expanded to 300 Pokémon, all of which are obtainable entirely in single-player.

➡️HGSS-Style Following Pokémon: Your lead Pokémon will follow you in the overworld, similar to HeartGold and SoulSilver.

➡️Visible Day-Night Cycle: Outdoor areas feature a visible day-night cycle, adding a visual flair to the world.

➡️Buffed Vanilla Trainers: All vanilla trainers (excluding Gym Leader rematches and Battle Frontier sets, which are planned for later) have been changed or buffed for increased difficulty.

➡️Medium Difficulty: The game aims for a difficulty level similar to the hardest official mainline Pokémon games, not excessively hard.

➡️Move Reminder in Status Screen: A convenient Quality-of-Life feature that allows you to access the Move Reminder directly from a Pokémon's status screen.

➡️Egg Move Tutor: A special Egg Move Tutor is available where the traditional Move Reminder NPC used to be.

➡️Reduced Late-Game HM Usage: The requirement for using HMs has been significantly cut down in the later stages of the game.

➡️Many Tiny Changes: Includes new item locations, new TMs, and uncapped EVs (Effort Values).

➡️Built on RHH's pokeemerald-expansion: The hack is built off of the RHH's pokeemerald-expansion version 1.12.3, providing a stable and modern base.

➡️New & Changed Moves: Includes a couple of new moves and some existing moves have been changed.

➡️Sleep Clause: The sleep clause rule is implemented in battles.

➡️Hoenn Story Unchanged: The main story of the Hoenn region remains the same as in vanilla Emerald, but with new elements surrounding it.

➡️Custom Graphics: New type icons and other custom graphical elements are included.
