Completed Pokémon Hegemony

This project is complete. Any future revisions will be bug fixes or small updates.
Project Status
Completed
Project Version
5.2.10
It's been 2 years since the end of a war with Hoenn. The Parthenia region has nearly finished reconstruction, and the region is slowly returning back to its normal routine. The region of Parthenia is returning to its more industrial ways, being the major exporter of construction materials and Potions to the other regions of the world. However, it seems no one really knows how the war ended. Some believe Parthenia was beaten but Hoenn left the Parthenians with their dignity to allow for more peaceful reconstruction. But the government has made no confirmation of anything.

However, you are just a student at the Pokémon Institute. And your path to graduation is to take on the Gym challenge in Parthenia. This Gym challenge is unlike many others, in that it chooses to adopt different strategies instead of adopting type themes. Along the way, you'll encounter the different military branches, as well as the military science groups that have developed Pokémon that were modified for war. And since you happen to start your adventure right as the Professor runs out of starters, you get to choose one of the Wartime Pokémon as your starter! Get ready to explore Parthenia and see what all kinds of Pokémon were modified for war, learn the story behind the Parthenia-Hoenn war, and find out what the secret Militia group is scheming as you travel to defeat the Gym challenge.

MAJOR UPDATE:

The game is complete through the main story! And now an expansive post-game has been added!

New Features in this game:

Warning: this game is meant to be difficult. It was intended to be played as a hard-core nuzlocke, and the lowest difficulty available still prevents item use in battle.

New Mega Evolutions
Wartime forms for Pokémon
New type: Cosmic - a typing discovered in Parthenia after the government attempted to expand to outer space to gain a military advantage.
New abilities and moves
All Pokémon up through Scarlet and Violet are now available! Post-game provides access to most of the Gen 9 Pokémon!
Updates to old Pokémon's typings, abilities and stats to make some less desirable Pokémon better, allowing for versatility in teams.
A stronger AI designed to make the Gym challenge an actual challenge
A few new weathers: Eclipse, Windy, Sleet, and Starstorm, as well as updating Storm and Fog to match Sword and Shield mechanics and Snow to match Scarlet and Violet!
HM Catalogue - no more HM Items or HM Slaves. Just have the move registered to your Catalogue and you can use it outside battle!
Changed Freeze to Frostbite to match with Legends: Arceus mechanics
EBDX with many custom move animations and some custom battle backgrounds

NOTE ABOUT THIS LAUNCHER:
This Launcher, by default, installs to your C: drive. If you choose to install elsewhere, ONLY USE THE SHORTCUT PLACED ON YOUR DESKTOP TO LAUNCH THE GAME! Anything else will likely launch something different, and until I can make a new launcher, this is just the easiest method to ensure you're playing the correct game.

================
Join the Discord linked here to download the latest version as patches will also be released as soon as they are completed, while updates will be more timed. So please come enjoy the Parthenia region!

Thanks for the quick fix! That did get me past choosing a starter, but very quickly I ran into the issue where the professor asks me to grab a pokedex off his desk? Which I can't find/interact with, and he won't let me leave without it, so I'm stuck again. Ironically, I COULD proceed because you didn't put collision on the right wall of the building so I could skip the roadblock, but something tells me proceeding without a pokedex would just cause more problems down the line.
Got that fixed up :]

I'm currently trapped in the bottom floor of the ogan gym, where the gym leader is, the exit is blocked by debris even after beating the 2nd gym leader with no way to leave

Well that's an embarrassing oversight, thanks! Since the latest patch I keep this error message when using moves causing them to repeat on the same turn over and over again until the opposing pokemon faints or I run out of pp

No you can move your old save file to the new save location. Just go to C:/Users/[your user name]/AppData/Roaming/ and you can move the Game file from the Hegemony 1.1 file to the Hegemony 2.0 file

idk if this is supposed to happen but whenever i try to catch a pokemon i have a 100 percent catch rate with any ball, which you would think wouldnt be a problem but it kinda trivializes any wild encounter im not sure if i activated something or its a bug

If you're in hard mode or higher, it will be guaranteed. It's meant to make it so if you're nuzlocking, the challenge isn't so focused on catching the Pokémon but rather the team you need to build
