Pokémon fan game: anime-style character, pixelated battle

Author: Hangry.

PROGRESS: Take on the Eighth Gym in the newly released v0.5.3

It is a refreshing and vibrant ROM hack that guarantees your Kanto adventure will be filled with color. The game's core feature is a massively increased shiny rate of 1 in 8, ensuring you'll build a team of unique and sparkling companions. To make this even more exciting, the hack includes over 350 brand new, custom-made shiny sprites for Pokémon across the first three generations. Explore a visually overhauled Kanto with reworked routes, new Gym Leaders, and a brand new rival who uses non-Kanto Pokémon. With every Gen 1-3 Pokémon available, no more trade evolutions, and a slightly increased difficulty, this is the perfect way to experience a classic region with a brilliant new twist.

🛑Features:

➡️Extreme Shiny Odds (1/8): The core feature of the hack. The shiny encounter rate has been drastically increased to a 1 in 8 chance, guaranteeing an adventure filled with shiny Pokémon.

➡️Over 350 Custom Shinies: More than 350 Pokémon from the first three generations have brand new, custom-made shiny color palettes.

➡️Expanded Pokédex (Gen 1-3): Every non-legendary Pokémon from the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions is obtainable before challenging the Elite Four.

➡️All Legendaries Available Post-Game: The post-game has been updated to include encounters with every single legendary and mythical Pokémon from the first three generations.

➡️No More Trade or Friendship Evolutions: All evolution methods that required trading or high friendship have been replaced with new, accessible in-game criteria.

➡️New Gym Leaders & Double Battles: The game features all-new Gym Leaders and Elite Four members, with many major battles being double battles.

➡️A Brand New Rival: Face off against a new, recurring rival who uses a team of non-Kanto Pokémon.

➡️Improved Leveling & Balancing: The game has a slightly increased difficulty with an improved level curve. To reduce grinding, new "EXP grinding areas" have been added to each gym town.

➡️Reworked Kanto Region: Experience a refreshed Kanto with reworked routes, new sub-areas, and updated wild encounters. The game also has a visual overhaul with brighter textures and a more lively feel.

➡️Obtainable Starter Pokémon: You can find and catch the other starter Pokémon in the wild as rare encounters.

➡️Reworked PokéMarts: PokéMarts now sell a much wider variety of items, including evolution items, making them more useful.

➡️No Shiny Locks: Nearly every Pokémon in the game can be shiny. This includes all wild, static, and gift Pokémon (like your starter and the Magikarp salesman's Magikarp). The only exceptions are in-game trade Pokémon.

➡️Expanded TM/HM Compatibility: Many TMs and HMs have been reworked to be compatible with a wider range of Pokémon.
