Introduction
The goal with this hack is to utilize CFRU engine with help of HUBOL that makes newbie in romhacking can creates rom near Radical Red or Unbound. This isn’t meant to be some kind of kaizo level nuzlocke hack but rather something that’s tough but fun and should be perfectly doable without having to resort to a full on google doc or something. Difficulty-wise I’d like to compare this to something like Radical Red or Emerald Kaizo.
Story
After becoming a Pokemon Trainer, you came back to Knot Island to meet your old friend, Bill. As a good friend, you help Bill with his mission, and encounter many problem with evil team, TEAM ROCKET. Their boss, Giovanni has hidden intentions with Pokemon, especially unique Pokemon, PARADOX POKEMON, that has energy about the past and future.
Features
As of writing, the game is based on HUBOL (CFRU+DPE). The game uses mostly Pokémon from Gen 1-8, though some Gen 9 Pokémon may have slipped through the cracks. Right now the plan is to have the regional dex sit at around 151 (same number as vanilla, but contain gen 1-8 Pokémon) with National dex almost 1000 Pokémon with many varian. As the game still in demo, not all Pokémon obtainable in this game (for now).
