Completed Pokemon: The Hodgepodge Platoon - A Battle Factory Style Mini-Hack

This project is complete. Any future revisions will be bug fixes or small updates.

Completed
Project Version
1.4.0

Welcome to The Hodgepodge Platoon! This is a small scale Pokemon Emerald Decompilation hack made by a community of Pokemon rom hackers, called "The Pebbler Platoon". In this game, you play as the old, wise protagonist Tawila, as they try to earn their reputation in the battle facility and discover all the Pokemon there are to see in this land. Speaking of, the main draw of this hack is the 80+ usable Fakemon, all lovingly designed and sprites by members of our team. Each of them has a fine-tuned set to use, with many moves, abilities, and held items spanning all generations. Not only that, but we have many tweaks and brand new moves, abilities, and items to play around with.

Full feature list:
  • Refined version of Pokemon Emerald's Battle Factory rental-and-swap ruleset
  • 80+ usable Fakemon from 20+ different artists
  • 60+ more Fakemon to be unlocked in the Pokedex
  • A profusion of moves, abilities, items, and other battle features from every generation, along with newly crafted ones coded by us
  • A better Battle AI that more appropriately reacts to the player's efforts
  • Extended move, ability and item descriptions and all Pokemon related information available in-game, so you don't have to look at documentation so often
  • Extended text limits for the Pokedex, allowing for in-depth lore for every Pokemon
  • A small narrative throughline as Tawila completes their Pokedex, with them striking up a camaraderie with the facility's owner, Lanette
