Change Log
Version 1.8.0
Important Fix
- Opening the about the game menu won’t restart your nuzlocke, challenge mode, level cap and extra exp modes.
Thanks to @Maya for discovering a way to reproduce it
New challenger to the Champion title added
- Maya won the contest on how to properly reproduce the bug that has been annoying us since a long time, so she and her Pokémon team are now in-game!
Don’t miss those Pokémon anymore!
- After beating the champion or defending your champ title, the following Pokémon will reappear if you don’t have them marked as caught in your Pokédex: Snorlax, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mew and Mewtwo.
In-game achievement system
- Added in-game achievements system.
- Achievements are compatible with old saves!!
- Obtain a start in your Trainer Card if you get every achievement! This replaces one from FRLG related to linking minigames (jumps in a row and berry picking related)
Some achievements are not compatible with previous saves, but can be earned again:
- Defend your title vs a Champion Title Challenger
- All the ones related to contest and ribbons
- Talk to a NPC to check Hidden Power Type of your Pokémon
- Achievement related to number of Eggs hatched
- Achievement related to number of berries planted
And some achievements will be registered if you traded any of those Pokémon from other games even if you didn’t catch them in this game:
- Catch Articuno
- Catch Zapdos
- Catch Moltres
- Catch Mewtwo
Other changes
- Added held items to the Pokédex
- Allow gaining EVs at level 100 and level cap
- Adjusted how the extra exp mode works. Now it will give less experience at the start of your run but will scale with your badge number.
- This is how the extra exp mode works.
- 25% for having the option enabled
- 10% if you have level cap enabled
- 20% if you have nuzlocke mode
- 15% for each badge you have
If you have all of that and you have the 8 badges, you will earn 175% more experience compared to vanilla games (and somehow people complain about grinding anyways)
- Added Staryu to more fixing locations

Version 1.7.2

- Fixed your Pokémon’s cry not playing when playing at higher battle speeds with the followers enabled

Hi
Thanks! how i can use randomizer?
Why can’t I go to the sevii islands? I already have the tro-pass, but everytime I go to vermillion, the sailor just tells me that the SS ANNE has left.
is there a way to add the save from 1.6 to 1.7?
is there a way to make pikachu the only pokemon that follows?
Hi! love the game, but i have some observations.
– In cerulean town there is no the daycare where they give you Bulbasaur. I was talk with all in cerulean town and no one give me Bulbausaur.
– At the end-game we can fight elite four only one time.
How do I update to 1.5 without losing my save file?
copy the name of previous version and rename the current version with that name. it should be the extract same
Can you please send me the game
8
New version is out. Please update.
Updated It! Thanks for the news buddy
I can’t go through the guard and when I open the bag I have ???? On water and soda pop. Is that a bug or emulator issue?
please ask the creator on discord or twitter
Hi, it’s not a bug. You have to talk with a old woman in a big house at Celadon city and her give you a “tea”. With the tea go to any guard and he let you go pass.
No Cheats?
The Creator Jaizu has disabled the cheat option therefore none of the cheats are working in this game.
Umm sorry to bother but can you tell the creator there is a gym bug,in bugsy’s gym when butterflies uses any spore attack it freezes the battle and you can never have your turn thank you
