PROGRESS: Completed (27/10/2026) — Complete and fully playable 30+ hour adventure tested through multiple full playthroughs.

Set in Floha, an all-new region packed with mountains, rivers, and hidden caverns. Built on the classic Gen 3 engine with custom visuals, the game replaces traditional gym challenges and villain storylines with an open-ended collection journey. Badges are earned at Collector’s Vaults by expanding your Pokédex, which progressively unlocks new routes, legendary encounters, and access to the Pokémon League.

🛑Features:

➡️Brand-New Region (Floha): Explore an entirely custom map filled with interconnected caves, waterways, hidden waterfalls, and vast areas like Donovan Woods.

➡️Collector’s Vault Progression: Progress through the game and earn 8 badges based on your total Pokédex count (10 catches for Badge 1 up to 260 catches to enter the Pokémon League) rather than defeating Gym Leaders.

➡️All 386 Pokémon Obtainable: Complete the National Dex natively in a single playthrough, featuring 328 wild catches and 58 evolution-based Pokémon.

➡️New Evolution Methods: Trade evolutions and special conditions have been revamped with custom Evolution Stones (Aura Stone, Terra Stone, Shadow Stone, Metal Stone) or standard level-ups.

➡️Physical/Special Split: Modern battle mechanics separate physical and special attacks based on the individual move rather than elemental type.

➡️Boosted Shiny Rate & Run Away Method: Shiny encounter odds are increased to 1/256, and overworld encounters can be re-rolled rapidly by fleeing, stepping out, and re-entering the area.

➡️Custom Sprites & Palettes: Select Pokémon have been recolored to better match their official artwork, and several shiny Pokémon feature completely redesigned custom palettes.

➡️Streamlined Fishing: Incorporates FireRed-style fishing (eliminating the repetitive reeling minigame) and condenses all wild fishing encounters into a single Rod.

➡️Full-Screen HM Flash: Using Flash in dark caves illuminates the entire screen rather than just a small circle around the player.

➡️Move & HM Quality of Life: TMs are fully reusable, Move Tutors offer unlimited lessons, HMs can be deleted freely like normal moves, and the Move Reminder lets you relearn past level-up moves.

➡️Defeated Trainer Ball Rewards: Earn extra Poké Balls automatically after every trainer victory, scaled by the size of the opponent's team.

➡️Player-Friendly Economy: Drastically reduced prices for Poké Balls and Repels, and zero money lost upon losing a battle or whiting out.

➡️Faster Egg Hatching: Step counts required to hatch eggs have been reduced to the absolute minimum for all species.

➡️Running Indoors: Running shoes work anywhere, including inside houses, buildings, and facilities.

➡️Post-Game Golden Tower: An endgame battle challenge located in Lodela City where you can battle and rematch powerful Champions from across the Pokémon world across increasing difficulty floors.
