  • universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx

    Public repository of source code for the Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX

  • You can sort of achieve this with the Universal Pokemon randomizer. You can limit the pokemon to Gen 5 only, then boost levels of all trainers by a percentage amount, and then force fully evolved pokemon to appear after like level 30 or 40, and finally increase boss pokemon to 6. Should work relatively well without actually randomizing the game.

  • pokeemerald

    Decompilation of Pokémon Emerald

  • you will probably have to do some mixture of C language programming, and writing in the game's own battle script format. you can see the existing battle scripts here.

  • pokecrystal16

    Pokémon Crystal mod that implements 16-bit IDs for the vanilla game (not relying on other mods' features)

  • by default, the structure of gen 2 only allows for 253 species of pokemon max. there is an engine which allows more than that (up to 65534 unique species IDs in theory, tho other issues mean it's much less in practice) but i have no idea if there are any completed romhacks using it.

  • polishedcrystal

    An upgrade to Pokémon Crystal. Brings features and content up to date, and adds some original content.

  • the other ID in use is 0xFF, which would be #255. the pokecrystal wiki says that it's used as an end-of-list marker. that doesn't really sound necessary to me, and it looks like polished crystal gets around this limitation, but i would guess it required at least some kind of engine modification.

  • universal-pokemon-randomizer

    Public repository of source code for the Universal Pokemon Randomizer, edited to support the ROM hack Pokémon Gaia Version (by sphericalice)

  • Gaia can be randomized with its own customized randomizer, and FireRed Randomizable 809 can be as well, with the best support in Brentspector’s branch of the UPR.
