    • Male character has options of Gold, Lucas, N, Alain, Nate, and an extra costume that can be unlocked further into the game
    • Female character has options of Serena, Lyra, Cynthia, Geeta, Marnie, and an extra costume that can be unlocked further into the game

    • HGSS Rival theme (plays in Gary fights)

    • HGSS Kanto Trainer Battle Theme remix – plays during basically any miniboss that doesn’t already have a custom theme (For instance, the weather route trainers)

    • SV Arven Theme (plays during Puzzle battle and fights against the Dumbass trainer class)
    • BW N Final Battle theme (plays during Giovanni Cerulean Cave Tag battle)

    • Pokemon Mansion has an additional area with a sliding door puzzle, a new item drop, and Gouging Fire static encounter

    • Code is “Shiny” case sensitive.
  • Added custom shinies for numerous Pokemon, full list can be found further down. Darkster also made a video showcasing all the new custom shiny sprites here with timestamps!
    • Many of these shinies are very similar to their normal palettes which can be underwhelming. They have been made more distinct to be more rewarding.
  • Shiny odds updated from 1/4096->2/4096, Shiny Charm boost updated from 3/4096->6/4096
  • Safari Zone is now treated as a normal area (do not need to use bait/rock/Safari Balls etc) and has a new area accessible with Surf. This area has a raid den that includes the Toxic Chain members,  Moltres/Moltres-G static encounter, and some new grass encounters.
    • Dev note: it was a bit weird for Moltres to be accessible much further into the game compared to the other Legendary Birds (even if it is a R/B/Y reference), so this resolves that and allows for a more rewarding legendary to encounter in Victory Road. 
    • Safari Zone being another area enables DexNav usage, which wasn’t possible before.
  • New signature items:
    • Electirizer – When held by Electivire, boosts Fighting moves by 50%
    • Magmarizer – When held by Magmortar, Fire moves that deal damage lower target’s Speed by 1 Stage, and inflicts tar on the target.
      • Note: if target is already afflicted with tar or is at -6 speed, the Magmarizer effect will not trigger
    • Upgrade – When held by Porygon-Z, boosts Speed by 50% but prevents the use of the same move twice
    • Burnt Seed – When held by Sunflora, boosts Fire moves by 50%
  • Added mysterious new Pokemon as an Easter Egg

  • Minor team changes to several boss/mini-bosses for inclusion of new S/V DLC Pokemon

  • Dragon Dance Tutor is now in Victory Road.
  • The Pokemon icons are now animated in the Summary Screen moveset menu and Nickname Screen 

Quality of Life Changes

  • Replaced Sound type (Stereo, Mono) in Options menu to Music On/Off. Sound Type will be defaulted to Stereo. Toggling Double Battles is now also available in Options menu.
    • The Music option can toggle the background music, sound effects like cries and attack sounds will still be on. It does not persist through saves so you will have to toggle it off after resetting if so desired. Changes to music setting will only take place after a scene transition (going into a battle, changing maps, etc)
  • Added second page to Options menu that displays game mode information, and an option that allows you to change R Button Mappings (Dexnav, Bag, Pokemon menu)
  • Added Dream Patch item that switches ability to Hidden Ability and vice versa, replaces the Saffron City NPC
    • Dream Patch can be bought by the Saffron City seller, most occurrences of Bottle Cap have been replaced with Dream Patch
  • Added Set To Level Cap option to Pokemon Center assistant, available if player enabled the Rare Candy cheat (Woyaopp on NES)
    • This option sets Pokemon to Level Cap immediately, but it skips evolution and learned moves 
  • Improved Vermilion Gym Puzzle
    • The bottom right-most trash can and top left-most trash can are always the switches. Pressing the wrong trash can also doesn’t reset the switches.
  • Re-Added Stat Scanner as item (can still access from clicking A on summary screen, but some people enjoyed having Stat Scanner registered as an item for convenience)

  • Added informational text after beating relevant bosses that the Level Cap increased

  • Now when redeeming Care Package cheat, if the player is already in the middle of the game they will receive care packages that they’ve missed.
  • Quicker HP Bars – HP Bars move at a constant, faster rate regardless of their HP count

TM Changes

  • There has been a large overhaul in the TM/Move tutor list. The main purpose of this is for more convenience (trying to lump more useful moves in TMs rather than tutors since TMs are more accessible), to make more sense with game progression, and also to have most of the Hardcore/Restricted Banned moves as a part of Move Tutors so that the experience is less jarring.

Because of this, we’ve decided to make the unfortunate decision to revert these Pokemon to their original typing.

v3.0

  • Added Hisuian Pokemon, and new Radical Red exclusive Seviian forms
    • Pokemon cannot normally evolve to Hisuian Pokemon in Kanto. However, there are options to receive Hisuian Eggs from an Egg Giver in Cerulean City and Vermillion City. These Pokemon will either be Hisuian Pokemon, or Pokemon with Hisuian Potential and can therefore evolve to their Hisuian counterparts. Otherwise, you can evolve Pokemon to their Hisuian forms when you’re in the post-game Sevii Islands. It is also worth noting some of the Hisuian Pokemon were commissioned before the official Shiny palettes were released, so they may have incorrect shiny forms. 
    • Seviian Forms are new custom Radical Red regional forms. There’s at least one from every single Generation and many of them have custom typing. Trainers in the main game will not have access to them, and you can only receive one before the post game (An egg given to you after beating Erika) to ensure that it’s not too jarring for players who dislike custom Pokemon. They can otherwise be found in post game areas. 
  • Added Several new post-game areas
    • Gain a ticket to first three Sevii Islands by talking to the npc in Route 16 house, and defeating all the foes she advises
    • Seviis have new encounters (Hisuain, Seviian Pokemon), new boss battles, some new legendaries, new move tutors, TMs, Z Moves, Gems, special Event Pokemon, and more
    • Gems are 1.5x boost rather than the nerfed 1.3x boost
    • New areas are open in Rock Tunnel(opening in Rock Tunnel in the exit area of Power Plant), Seafoam Islands, and Pokemon Tower once you obtain the Z-Power Ring
    • Some Gym Leaders and other familiar folks may be looking to rematch once you obtain the Z-Power Ring
  • Added Following Pokemon
    • Viridian City Pokemon Center NPC will go up to you to activate Follower Pokemon 
    • Only certain Pokemon are able to follow you! There just isn’t enough time and space to insert sprites for all Pokemon. However, there are a sizable amount, and even certain Megas are able to follow you as well
    • The game goes through your party and picks the first eligible Pokemon that can be a follower
  • New “scaled” randomizer (name still tentative) to replace the “expert” randomizer that no one really played. 
    • Essentially you’ll only be able to encounter Pokemon that make sense for that point in the game; so before Brock you’re only able to see first stage Pokemon, after Misty you’ll start seeing some second evo Pokemon + weak third stage evos, etc etc.
    • Fixed Randomizer being scuffed (many repeats of same species, or moves/abilities on its corresponding randomizers) 
    • Hisuian and custom Seviian mons accessible in the randomizer
  • Now have the option to choose any Starter from any Generation (inspired by Inclement Emerald; Ty Buffel Saft!)
  • Added several moves from Pokemon Legends Arceus
  • Some new NPCs offer “skills” (accessible by clicking L in the overworld, where you can access autorun, and these other new skills)
    • PokeVial – complete the puzzle from the teacher in Viridian City trainer school
    • Infinite Repel – fight the lass in Viridian Forest
    • Time Changer – answer one of the Oak aides’ questions in Oak’s Lab
  • PLA’s Frostbite has replaced Freeze status. Note, that it’s still called “freeze”.

New Freeze:

  • Freeze inflicts 1/16 damage to the afflicted Pokemon at the end of turn, and also halves Special Attack (special burn)
  • Frostbite effects are twice as likely to occur in hail (I.e Ice Beam 10% chance to freeze becomes 20% in Hail) 
  • Frostbite inflicts 1/8 damage to the afflicted Pokemon at the end of turn in Hail instead of 1/16. Thick Fat Pokemon take 1/32 damage from Frostbite in Hail
  • Attributes from freeze that carry over: Ice Pokemon are immune to freeze, if hit by a fire move/scald when frozen you thaw, frozen Pokemon that use Scald, Flame Wheel, Flare Blitz, Pyro Ball, Sacred Fire …, get thawed out
  • Moves that have added Freeze effect added to them:
    • Frost Breath has a 30% chance to Freeze on top of its current effect
    • Bitter Malice added, 30% chance to Freeze 
  • Quality of Life Changes:
    • Portable PC in the Start Menu after unlocking DexNav! 
    • Move Relearner now party menu option (like in Pokemon Legends Arceus!)
    • Nurse Joy has no dialogue and turns you around
    • Hitting L instead of activating Auto Run brings up a menu where you can choose options for Auto Run, PokeVial 
    • Fast text setting has been improved to display text instantaneously!
    • Added option to Nature Changer NPC where she toggles Instant HP Off or On. Off by default. With Instant HP mode, HP Bar moves much quicker
    • Pressing B while in Auto Run will make you walk
    • Pressing B while surfing for faster speed! (Also works in conjunction with new auto run)
    • In-game cheat code if you talk to the NES in your home:
      • “DexAll” to allow Dexnav to show all possible mons in the route even   when you haven’t registered them in Dex
      • “Woyaopp” to unlock Rare Candies if you talk to the youngster in Viridian City walking around in the grass. Rare Candies cannot level you past the level cap. Essential cheat for those who don’t want to grind or just like saving time, especially on subsequent playthroughs or for streamers.
      • “SO2Toxic” for care packages, very useful when replaying the game;  you’ll get free item drops for everything you’re basically allowed to receive up to that point (from raid rewards, and thiefing wild Pokemon)
    • Added a Lorelei forecast (in your first time fighting E4, if you talk to the champ in the making guy he’ll indicate which Pokemon he saw Lorelei with. Lorelei is notorious for ending runs because of the differences between her two possible teams so this should help out.)
  • Now automatically get the Flame Body step boost for eggs in min grinding (doesn’t stack both) 
  • Low HP Beep in Red Health removed
  • Nature Changer Nurse has option to Gender Swap,view the current Level Cap, and to view the game modes you’re currently playing.
  • Can now use the SELECT button to switch Pokemon in party menu
  • Removed catching tutorial, and oak’s tutorial in first rival battle
  • Using Rare Candy when Pokemon is at the level cap can evolve it (for instance, if a rare candy is used on a level 100 grovyle it will evolve into sceptile) 
  • Small revamp to Raid Battles –
    • Raid Dens don’t reset on following Day. Now, simply throw Wishing Pieces to force a respawn. Pewter City NPC who gave you dynamax band will give you 5, and you should get more from Raid Dens itself. If you trigger a Yamper Event (have Yamper as your following Pokemon) in Vermillion City, the fan club lady will give you 5 Wishing Pieces too. They can often be given as Raid Rewards as well. This along with Time Changer should remove the need to change your clock, for more convenience.
  • Victory Road puzzle no longer resets after you leave
  • Can now fish in the backyard of Cerulean City for some additional earlier encounters (used to be blocked by fence)
  • Added Time Box in Start Menu so you can see in-game time
  • Puzzle Battles – you can view all 6 of the opponents team, and choose 3 of a given team to fight them. There’s a specific solution to winning – half of it is choosing the correct Pokemon and lead, the other half is just making the right plays in battle.
  • New Title Screen and Intro Card (Credits to Darkster for creating intro card and assisting with title screen)
  • Route 13, Route 16, Route 12 Route 18 have mandatory trainer mini bosses with weather in the overworld.

  • Choice Items cannot be received from 5 star raids(Giving more incentive to fight and receive Choice items from Jasmine, Pryce, and Blaine) They can still be received from 6 star raids post E4

    • Several new trainers turned into mini boss battles. SS Anne has a mandatory double battle

Eevium Z has been modified to also work on Eeveelutions, but only gives +2 to Offensive Stats (Shell Smash without the Defense drops basically)

Frenzy Plant – 160 BP, 4 PP, 100 Acc recharge move but does not need to recharge on kill. 80% chance to badly poison.

Blast Burn – 160 BP, 4 PP, 100 Acc recharge move but does not need to recharge on kill. 60% chance to burn.

Hydro Cannon – 160 BP, 4 PP, 100 Acc recharge move but does not need to recharge on kill. 60% chance to freeze (frostbite)

Meteor Assault – 160 BP, 4 PP, 100 Acc recharge move but does not need to recharge on kill. 60% chance to paralyze

Pokemon Changes:

Magby line Ability 2 None->Magma Armor

  • A slightly more usable ability with the Freeze changes, so feels like a relevant buff even if it’s minor
