Pokémon Good Ruby

This is an overhaul mod of Pokémon Ruby, built from pret's disassembly of the original game.

Features:

  • 416 Pokemon are obtainable, consisting of the first 386 and all their evolutionary relatives.
  • Battle system updated to Gen 7 mechanics, including physical/special split, modern moves, and modern abilities.
  • A handful of new areas to explore, housing some rare mons.
  • Enemy trainers no longer use items in battle, but have more difficult teams.
  • Hidden Abilities, 92 TMs, and an Egg Move Tutor to help you customize your mons to your liking.
  • Adjustments to the stats and movepools of various Pokemon to improve balance and diversity.
  • Countless smaller tweaks that would make this list far too long.

Downloads can be found in the Releases tab. The current version is v1.0 beta.

Known issues:

  • Contests aren't finished. You can run them, but they'll be boring vanilla opponents, and the Berry Blender is only partly overhauled.
  • Post-game is under construction. Kyogre, Deoxys and one of Latias or Latios are unobtainable.
  • Attacks don't automatically re-target in Doubles. It's possible other weirdness happens there as well; the hack's focus is on Singles.

I also advise looking through monchanges.txt, which documents significant type and move changes.
