Description
Welcome to the world of Pokemon Good Ruby, a hack of the classic Ruby game that adds some much-needed spice to your Pokemon journey. With updated mechanics to gen 7 standards, you can expect a smoother gameplay experience with new moves and the physical+special split.
But that’s not all – this hack also features all evolutionary relatives of the first 386 Pokemon, adding even more diversity to your team-building strategies. You’ll also find a bit of rebalancing and added challenge to keep you on your toes throughout your adventure.
Be prepared, though – this hack is designed to be somewhat difficult. Enemy trainers won’t use items from their bags during battle, but they’ll compensate with tougher teams that will test your skills. While playing with Set Mode and no items, you may find yourself taking some losses in battle, but don’t give up – this is all part of the challenge.
And for those brave enough to try a Nuzlocke run, be warned that the difficulty level may be even higher than expected. But for those who love a good challenge and want to experience the world of Hoenn in a fresh new way, Pokemon Good Ruby is the perfect hack for you. Are you ready to embark on a new adventure and become a Pokemon master?
