PROGRESS: Completed v16.3 (10/10/2026) — Fully playable and feature-complete, containing the complete storyline for both Ruby and Sapphire versions, all eight Gyms, the Elite Four, the full post-game with Emerald event islands, the Hoenn Battle Tower, and the Pokémon World Tournament.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, remade on the DS inside Pokémon Black 2. The whole Hoenn region is rebuilt in Black 2's 3D overworld, and the complete story plays out with Black 2's music and battle system. Hoenn's characters are their original sprites, resized and animated for the DS.

🛑Features:

➡️Two Distinct Game Versions: Play as Pokémon Sapphire NDS (stopping Team Aqua and Kyogre at Seafloor Cavern) or Pokémon Ruby NDS (facing Team Magma and Groudon at the Magma Hideout).

➡️HM-Free Field Moves: Field moves work without teaching HMs to your Pokémon—all you need is the appropriate Gym badge and the HM in your Bag.

➡️Gen 6 Exp. Share & Level Scaling: A toggleable Gen 6-style Exp. Share that distributes experience across the party, with trainer/opponent levels balanced to match.

➡️No-Trade Evolutions: All trade-evolution Pokémon can evolve strictly in-game via leveling up or using items.

➡️Built-in Emerald Event Islands: Faraway Island (Mew), Birth Island (Deoxys), Navel Rock (Ho-Oh/Lugia), and Southern Island (Latias/Latios) can all be visited in-game without Mystery Gifts.

➡️Expanded Post-Game Content: Features the full National Dex, seven roaming legendaries, Jirachi, Celebi, Altering Cave, and Mirage Island.

➡️Three In-Game Adventure Modifiers: At the start of the adventure, Professor Birch gives you three permanent choices: enabling the Fairy type, toggling the Physical/Special split (Modern vs. Classic), and selecting the soundtrack: Hoenn original soundtrack played on Black 2 instruments, or the Black 2 soundtrack.

➡️Full Fairy-Type Integration: When enabled, includes the modern Fairy type chart, Fairy Pokémon retyping, new Fairy moves (such as Moonblast and Play Rough), and items like the Pixie Plate and Fairy Gem.

➡️Hoenn Battle Tower: Challenge Lv. 50 and Lv. 100 formats with 7-battle streaks, prizes, and ribbons.

➡️Battle Tower Pokémon World Tournament (PWT): A dedicated PWT facility located directly on the Battle Tower island.

➡️Custom Gen 5 Graphics & Sprites: Overworld maps fully rebuilt in Black 2's 3D engine, custom underwater Dive trenches, classic orange Gym roofs, dynamic ash weather using winter textures, and original animated battle back-sprites for Brendan, May, and Wally.

➡️Hoenn Town Map & Pokédex: Fully functional Hoenn Pokédex with 202 Pokémon (entries in Ruby and Sapphire order), and Town Map accessible via item, Fly, and Pokémon Center wall maps.

➡️Functional Bedroom and Lab PCs: Your bedroom PC manages Pokémon storage and mail, while Professor Birch's lab PC evaluates your Pokédex progress.
