Description
How many people played through Generation 2 and thought, “Wow, that would have been much better with a logical level curve.” Or did you simply want a more difficult remake of Johto? Welcome to Grueling Gold, a difficult Gen 2 fan game developed in v20.1 of Pokemon Essentials.
Features
- 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 nostalgia with a fresh take
- Custom moves and abilities to give a more interesting competitive battling scene
- 2 difficulty levels
- An option to remove 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 (no DLC mons until Kanto is released)
- 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)
This first main release completes the Johto story with a Kanto post-game to follow at a later date.
