PROGRESS: Project Version 1.3 (22/03/2026) - Current release includes all of the main story up through the credits.

It is a rom hack of Pokémon Black 1 that aims to revamp the first Unova experience while keeping the game's spirit in tact. You will find only native Unova Pokémon on your journey but some new additions have been made to diversify the Dex. Many Pokémon have altered types, abilities, movepools, stats, and availability. Gym leaders and other boss battles have been increased in challenge level. The goal is for roughly a Renegade Platinum level of difficulty so no worries about needing Kaizo skills here. Modern mechanics have been introduced like critical hits and the type chart which now includes the Fairy-type. New story events have been added to expand the region and flesh out its characters. Nearly he entire map of Unova can be accessed in the main story. You can also find many boss trainers throughout the map to unlock rewards and resources.
