(V13) Pokemon Radical Rejuvenation Mod (Balance Changes)


KenzieEmm

Recommended Posts

If you're like me, you've probably gotten to Terajuma and were immediately met with tragedy as your early game aces fell off in the face of the massive difficulty spike. This mod attempts to fix the large discrepancy in 'Mon power by buffing many underperformers and adding new options for some that are already good. Maybe Mightyena isn't sweeping Angie, and Dewgong still isn't beating Alain's Volcanion, but now both will stay useful once enemy trainers start using EVs. For the most part, these changes were ripped directly from Pokemon Radical Red, the massive overhaul of Fire Red by Soupercell.

As it stands currently, I have not messed with trainers except in cases like with Meganium where the Pokemon functions very differently than it does in a real game. And be warned that, much like Radical Red itself, this mod is in no way balanced and many buffs do not take into consideration when the Pokemon is available in a play through. If there's popular support for it, I can attempt to tweak trainers and encounters and buff weaker crests and add new ones to create something similar to Reborn Redux.

 

The full changelog is listed below:

Litten learns Parting Shot as an egg move in SwSh but not in SM/USUM, so that might have something to do with it.

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with the mod. The damage the Hatenna should be doing is 3 while the Scorbunny should take 4 turns to kill the Hatenna. However, this is after one turn of battle. I have done the exact same battle in the regular version and it works as it should.

Excellent catch. What appears to have happened is that an attempt at bringing back Selfdestruct and Explosion's defense reduction was mistakenly applying to everything. This has been corrected, and the updated version has been uploaded.

Does anyone know if this is mac compatible?

I don't know anything about Mac unfortunately but as long as base Rejuvenation works this should too. I haven't changed anything fundamental.

Since the mac version has a few small differences and the mod isnt just a mod folder add on, it doesnt seem to work

Also, when you say "This mod is compatible with all other mods as long as they do not touch the data for moves, abilities, or the Pokemon themselves."

does this mean its not compatible with debug?
