Pokemon Weathered Ruby

 

Name: Pokemon Weathered Ruby
Remade by: bobwilson
Based on: Pokemon Ruby 

It’s a QoL Hack ROM you can catch all 386 Pokemon with Nuzlocke experience, a perfect balance of difficulty, and full documentations of this game! It’s completed in English. And now, Let’s play! 

This enhancement hack is primarily intended to be played through blind and casually. However, it has been optimized for a difficult yet streamlined Nuzlocke experience.

The game can be Nuzlocke’d blind for experienced Nuzlockers who desire a challenge—but for those who would like to prepare teams in advance, I will include key battles and other important information in the second half of this guide. The guide for each key battle is rather in depth, as to better prepare newcomers to the difficulty hack genre. This is mostly for the hack to be more accessible to the inexperienced Nuzlocker or even casual player.

This hack as well features a plethora of changes to Pokemon base stats and learnsets, which will be laid out in the first half in this guide. Again, the second half of this guide includes key spoilers, so consult the guide as needed. Lastly, the game features many revamped dialogue lines to improve brevity and give the player a somewhat different experience from vanilla. The core game is still the same in terms of the order of Gym completion, overworld progression etc.
