◆ FEATURES · 20 TOTAL
  • For example: in Ruby, Zangoose is present in route 114. In Sapphire/Emerald, Seviper is present in route 114. In Emerald Essence, Both Zangoose and Seviper are present in route 114. This is true for every area in the game.
  • For example, Graveler, Machoke, and Kadabra.
  • There will be two Pokeballs in Desert Underpass containing the two starter Pokemon you did not pick.
  • If you complete the Hoenn Dex and receive your Diploma from Lilycove City, you will receive Jirachi as a reward.
  • This will allow Seadra to evolve into Kingdra, Clamperl to evolve into Huntail, and Clamperl to evolve into Gorebyss.
  • This will allow you to travel to Navel Rock, Birth Island, Southern Island, and Faraway Island.
  • Just like in later Pokemon games, you are free to use TMs as many times as you want.
  • Now HMs can easily be replaced by other moves.
  • This makes the beginning of the game less tedious and makes the later game more convenient when indoors.
  • Just like in later Pokemon games, the increased stat will be red while the decreased stat will be blue.
  • This works like in later Pokemon games, instead of only passing down natures 50% of the time and only working with females and Ditto.
  • This works like in later Pokemon games, instead of only male parents being able to pass down egg moves
  • This works like in later Pokemon games and makes using repels much less tedious.
  • This makes traversal much easier and requires less backtracking. If you are starting this hack from a previous save file, Rydel will give you the bike you are missing.
  • Move tutors can now be used as many times as you want.
  • The Move Reminder on Fallarbor Town will now help you relearn moves for free.
  • Previously, the only way to get these TMs was through the Mauville Game Corner.
  • The altering cave was originally supposed to contain various Johto Pokemon that would alternate based on a mystery gift. This never made it into the final game and instead, the cave had nothing but Zubats. Now, the cave contains all the Johto Pokemon that would have been available to catch. These Pokemon are Mareep, Aipom, Pineco, Shuckle, Teddiursa, Houndour, Stantler, and Smeargle.
  • This includes: Fire, Water, Thunder, Leaf, Moon, and Sun Stones, as well as Dragon Scale, DeepSeaTooth, and DeepSeaScale
  • For example, Roxanne now says that TMs have infinite uses instead of saying they can only be used once.
