Released 3.0 IS OUT! KANTO!!! Pokemon Grueling Gold

This project has a release available. The full version is still a work in progress.
Project Status
Released
Project Version
3.2.0
How many have played through Gen 2 and thought: "Wow that would have been much better with a logical level curve." Or just wanted a remake of Johto with a higher difficulty? Welcome to Grueling Gold, a difficulty fan game of Gen 2, developed in v20.1 of Pokemon Essentials. Some things you'll find:

  • mega evolution, including some custom megas
  • updated base stats and movesets for normally underused Pokemon
  • competitively challenging boss battles, gym leaders and rivals
  • added story elements to combine the nostalgia with a fresh take
  • custom moves and abilities to give a more interesting competitive battling scene
  • 2 difficulty levels
  • an option to removing grinding and EVs
  • a nuzlocke option
  • A Dexnav that works with day and night cycle so you can chain hunt encounters for shinies or egg moves and hidden abilities
  • use of Essentials Deluxe to insert boss Pokémon and certain gimmicks within battles
  • a completely reworked and custom AI to optimize the battle experience and make the game actually difficult
  • Pokémon from gens 1-9 (DLC mons released as of 2.0! Kanto later!)
  • a fully working randomizer that can randomize encounters, static and gift mons, trainer teams, level up moves, abilities and base stats
  • Expert mode now plays a good bit differently from normal mode! (1.2.0 update)

Kanto is now out!

Hello,
After applying the recent patch, I'm getting this error everytime I encounter a wild pokemon, any idea as to why?
Loving the game so far though!

I need to know what settings you're using. Did you do expert mode randomized before the update?

Expert mode, nothing more, as far as I can recall, though I could just restart since i'm at the very beginning, but ig it's still better to let you know any problems that arise :)

Been playing the game and it's being pretty fun, my only "complain" would be that it seems to not save edited controls when I re-open It

I know it's an engine bug sadly. I wish I could do something about it :/ I will see if I can find a way to rework that but for now it's kind of stuck that way
