History DarthWiki / PokemonAssVersion

* JustForPun: Fan of Rock Pokemon, and rock music.

* HeavySleeper
* LipstickLesbian: Full force in there.
* TheStoner: Implied with her sleepyhead tendencies.

* CombatSadomasochist: She actually uses that [[WhipItGood whip]] she has. On herself.

* CharacterSelectForcing: Defied in your starter choice. Despite the buffed stats, Venusaur isn't the starter of choice it is in the original game, mainly because Brock uses an [[PteroSoarer Aerodactyl]]. Charmander also has an easier time against Brock due to getting Dragon-type attacks (with STAB) much earlier than the other starters.

* DummiedOut: Averted: Mew was this in the original game, but it is in Mewtwo's place in this hack. Mewtwo itself isn't dummied out: it's uncatchable, but it's the FinalBoss.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Charizard is a Dragon-type, as many wanted... but the other starters too become Dragon-type, along with enough other Pokemon that the Dragon-type becomes almost commonplace. And the type's weakness to Dragon plus the ubiquitous Hyper Bream now being Dragon-type means that Dragon isn't a broken type, and that makes Charizard the same GlassCannon as before, with weaknesses just as blatant.

* AbusiveParents: The main character's mother doesn't care so much about her son, but given [[RapeAsDrama what she's been subjected to at the hands of the Oaks]], she's utterly [[BrokenBird broken]] and it's almost normal.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The FinalBoss is your rival's level 128 Mewtwo. [[spoiler:Your rival's MadnessMantra after losing includes: "You can't beat Mewtwo!"]]

* FreeRangeChildren: Though given how the main character and TheRival mistreat almost everyone and both of them are the KidWithTheRemoteControl, it's everyone else who should worry.

** TheRival takes the cake as he bullies everyone (the main character's mother being his favourite [[TheChewToy chew toy]]) he comes across. In this game, ''he is the one to screw Bill up and fuse him with a Clefairy''.

* MeaningfulName: The rom: everyone is an [[{{Jerkass}} ASS]]!

* TookALevelInJerkass: It's the '''whole damn premise'''.

* BreakTheHaughty: His final defeat[[spoiler: puts him into a VillainousBreakdown since after failing to TakeOverTheWorld for his grandpa, he is now utterly useless and feels [[YouHaveFailedMe disposable]].]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: He grows progressively into this [[spoiler:once he gets [[OlympusMons Mewtwo]], to a point Oak came to confirm his grandson's victory but also to reaffirm his authority]].

* RunningGag: TheRival making a YourMom joke before running away after losing. When this gag ends, TheRival starts [[TookALevelInBadass meaning business]].

* BadBoss: He treats everyone like crap. Even TheRival is just a pawn for him[[spoiler:, which ends up biting him in the ass when his grandson turns on him due to going ItsAllAboutMe too]].
* ComplexityAddiction: Forces the main character to go fill the Pokedex while Gary can become Champion all he wants. He could've just shot him but no, he forces half of the world's hatred on a guy who has to complete, by said guy's words, "the shittiest sidequest ever". Which hands him the opportunity to foil his plans. Way to go.

* MoodSwinger: From total bitch to SickeninglySweet when you beat her.

** Which is surprisingly close to his dialogue in the French version of the original game.

* FlashbackNightmare: When you meet her, she's still having nightmares about TheRival's rampage in her gym (he ravaged all the beautiful [[ScrappyMechanic CUT]] trees).

* CoolOldGuy: He has a bit of a nasty streak and another angsty streak, but that aside he's the same Blaine we know.
* HeroicBSOD: Is in the middle of one, and the main character has to snap him out of it.
* MyGreatestFailure: This game runs with the "Blaine created Mewtwo" theories.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: More true to form than the Gym Leaders as they're always together.

* DumbMuscle: Not as straightforward as Bruno, but she counts. Her team has levels in the 100s. Yes, above 100. But she still is really stupid.
* VerbalTic: She's got lisp.

* NeverSayDie: The most vehement defier of the trope, mentioning killing the main character and the Oaks quite often in her dialogue. And yes, she asks you to kill your rival.
* PsychoExGirlfriend: To Oak. She's the lesser evil of the two, really.
* ReformedButNotTamed: When she acknowledges the main character.

* TheComicallySerious: In the Oak hatemail they sent.

* {{Angrish}}: Some of them devolve into them for their defeat.

* FunetikAksent: Many of them think they're black or something.

* BigBadWannabe: Definitely doesn't meet up to the original, much less the Oaks.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: To all of those who wanted Dragon-type Charizard, you got it... except the other starters too become Dragon-type, along with so many Pokemon that the Dragon-type becomes almost commonplace, with weaknesses to avoid half the mons being GameBreaker tier, making Charizard the same GlassCannon as before with weaknesses just as blatant.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Some Pokemon had their whole typing changed, most notably [[AsianFoxSpirit Ninetales]], which from a pure Fire-type became a Ghost/Rock-type. Also, all stone and trade-related evolutions (but Eevee who still evolves with stones) and are changed to simple level-up evolutions which, due to the easy nature of the first levels, are bumped up. In consequence, not only using a Leaf Stone will not work to evolve your Exeggcute, you'll need to grind it up to level '''47''' to have an Exeggutor. Also, stopping evolutions is useless: any Pokemon learn all their possible attacks before evolving.
* DummiedOut: Averted: Mew was this in the original rom, but it is in Mewtwo's place in this hack. Mewtwo itself isn't dummied out: it's uncatchable, but it's the FinalBoss.
* FakeUltimateMook: Onix's status as this was defied, since it's been heavily buffed. Still somewhat as its base stat total is the lowest possible of all evolved Pokémon.
* FixedDamageAttack: All taken off of this hack, aside from attacks that halve HP, which are much more numerous, since on top of Super Fang, there is now Toxic, Psywave, Submission and Confuse Ray.

* InfinityPlusOneElement: Dragon-type is changed to be this. As a defensive type, it's only weak to itself. As an offensive type, almost nothing resists it, and it is one of the few types to have a super-powerful, no-risk attack in Hyper Beam.

** All mons maximum experience is 800000 instead of the standard 1000000, or more.
** Non-fully-evolved Mons give much more EXP (a 128 to 45 ratio), making early level grinding around three times as fast.

** Psychic-types: Their weakness to Ghost is put in the ROM properly (it wasn't a bug, but a programming error, easy to rectify) and Ghost-types are much more common, as well as resistant to it. And all of the makeshift counters that were used in Gen I were buffed: Jolteon with Pin Missile as the move always hits for high damage (as much as if your normal Pin Missile always hit 5 times), and some Fighting-types had their Special stat more-than-doubled (most notably Hitmonchan).

*** Alakazam deserves special mention again: its 250 base Special, even with the stat increase, results in such CripplingOverspecialization to the point that its Speed got nerfed (instead of being in the third-most Speed tier, it's now around the 100th place counting non-fully-evolved 'mons, 65th tied when counting only fully-evolved 'mons) '''in a game that applied a 150% modifier to most bases'''. While you can still get one just as early (though Abra can only be found on Route 24), it's much harder to solo the game with it since its low Speed and Defense greatly hinder it.

** The Toxic + Leech Seed combination doesn't work since Toxic's effect has been changed to halving the opponent's HP instead of heavy poisoning.

** Wrap-trapping doesn't exist, limiting stunlock DeathOfAThousandCuts to flinch moves, that are much less guaranteed.
** Normal-type isn't the best offensive type in the game given the much more common spread of Rock (most Pokémon evolving by stones become Rock-type) and Ghost-types. Also, since all StatusEffects were removed, Body Slam trades the 30% paralysis for a 30% flinch rate and has a lowered base power, and Hyper Beam being Dragon-type means no STAB on it for Normal-types except now-Normal-Dragon-type Tauros.

** Tauros keeps its very solid stats, but almost every other 'mon got buffed to its level (or close), and it got the Dragon type added to its Normal type, giving him an additional weakness to Dragon; and since it's specially-based, a newly-Dragon-typed Hyper Beam will take it out in one hit and he can use it less well due to its still weak Special stat. This, and Fighting-type moves being more common and Fighting-type 'mons being buffed means it can be beaten much more easily.
** Persian got nerfed too, by becoming a Ground-type (making its status as ground specialist Giovanni's ace more legit) and consequently gaining more weaknesses. It underwent a stat spread change, with much more Attack but much less Speed, and Slash's power was relatively nerfed too. Besides, the much higher number of Ghost-types and Rock-types make STAB Slash much less threatening.
** Starmie's Special nerf and its newfound Rock type makes it much weaker, because of the additional Fighting and Ground-type weaknesses.

* OptionalBoss: Mew in the depths of [[BonusLevelOfHell Cerulean Cave]]. Though, if you're expecting a fight, the thing is level 64 where you've likely defeated more-than-twice-as-strong Mewtwo, so it won't put up a fight of any sort.
* PowerTrio: Not only the starters and the Eeveelutions, but several other Pokemon have been reworked as such, sharing similar stats (not the stat spread though).

* SequenceBreaking: The 7 first Gyms can be beaten in any order. Even Brock can be skipped since the guy who blocks your path doesn't realize there's a sneaky path just behind him. You don't need Cut to go to Surge and Erika's Gyms, making the Misty fight skippable. You also don't need Surf anymore to go to Cinnabar and beat Blaine.
* SpamAttack: Attacks that could hit up to 5 times in the same turn were taken off to avoid randomness. Now they all hit twice, so that they can still break clones.

* UselessUsefulSpell: Useless Useful Buff: Splash is Water-type. But its effect (doing absolutely nothing) is unchanged.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Some Pokemon had their whole typing changed, most notably [[FantasticFoxes Ninetales]], which from a pure Fire-type became a Ghost/Rock-type. Also, all stone and trade-related evolutions (but Eevee who still evolves with stones) and are changed to simple level-up evolutions which, due to the easy nature of the first levels, are bumped up. In consequence, not only using a Leaf Stone will not work to evolve your Exeggcute, you'll need to grind it up to level '''47''' to have an Exeggutor. Also, stopping evolutions is useless: any Pokemon learn all their possible attacks before evolving.

* BonusBoss: Mew in the depths of [[BonusLevelOfHell Cerulean Cave]]. Though, if you're expecting a fight, the thing is level 64 where you've likely defeated more-than-twice-as-strong Mewtwo, so it won't put up a fight of any sort.
** Though, it makes capturing it much harder.

* MoodSwinger: From total bitch to TastesLikeDiabetes when you beat her.

* StandardStatusEffects: Defied: all are removed from the game.

* TheDitz: Taking a page from [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Cirno]], who is associated with ice.

** Normal-type isn't the best offensive type in the game given the much more common spread of Rock (most Pokémon evolving by stones become Rock-type) and Ghost-types. Also, since all StandardStatusAilments were removed, Body Slam trades the 30% paralysis for a 30% flinch rate and has a lowered base power, and Hyper Beam being Dragon-type means no STAB on it for Normal-types except now-Normal-Dragon-type Tauros.

* TheMissingno: The TropeNamer is still here, and an easy way to farm these Rare Candies.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[HelloInsertNameHere [Insert name of rival here]]] Motherfucking Oak still always shows up ahead of you.

* OneHitKill: Somewhat defied. One-hit-KO moves are changed to be simply very powerful, no-effect moves. They can still easily result in OHKOs.

* SpellMyNameWithAThe / ThePerson: Eventually starts asking you to refer to him as "the [[HelloInsertNameHere rival]]".

---> [[HelloInsertNameHere '''PC''']]: "Ouch, my ears."

* FakeUltimateMook: Onix's status as this has been averted, since it's been heavily buffed. (Except his defense, but that's another story.)

* InfinityPlusOneElement: Dragon-type is changed to be this. Hyper Beam striking almost everyone for neutral damage becomes a staple move for special sweepers (or Dragon-type physical sweepers with an exploitable special stat).

** You can actually enter Diglett's Cave before you fight Brock. Take note: it's full of levels in the high-twenties or low-thirties, which you can reach by that point with some LevelGrinding.
** In Saffron City, you can buy Rare Candies, which can give your mons their last few levels.
* MagikarpPower: Except there's no absurdly weak critter anymore: even Magikarp itself gets respectable stats (though the ATK stat required to use Tackle definitely isn't his forte).

** The [[OneStatToRuleThemAll Special stat]] has been heavily reduced for most non-legendary Pokemon. Only the legendary birds got a 3-point Special buff. The only Pokemon whose Special got really buffed is Hitmonchan, and even then it isn't so high.
** Any base stat beyond the cap of 135 has been reduced to levels around this. Chansey, Snorlax and Wigglytuff's HP (250->135, 160->132 and 140->130 respectively), Cloyster and Onix's defense (180->135 and 160->much much less), Electrode's Speed (140->135) and Mewtwo's Special (154->135) come to mind. Even stats too close to the 135 gap in non-legendary mons got put down, especially in the Special stat.
** Psychic-types: Their weakness to Ghost is put in the rom properly (it wasn't a bug, but a programming error, easy to rectify) and Ghost-types are much more common, as well as resistant to it. And all of the makeshift counters that were used in Gen I were buffed: Jolteon with Pin Missile as the move always hits for high damage (as much as if your normal Pin Missile always hit 5 times), and some Fighting-types had their Special stat more-than-doubled (most notably Hitmonchan).
*** The Psychic move itself was nerfed. In that most moves received a huge powerup, and it didn't change at all (read:the highest-powered non-drawback moves are about 150 power, and Double-Edge is at 180 power).
*** Alakazam deserves special mention again: his Base Speed was nerfed from 120 to 80, making his speed now very underwhelming since most weak mons (even ComMons) were buffed heavily as most final evolved forms have 500 base stat total at the very least. Take into account that while his Special stat is still very high, it's been nerfed to 120, which is the original Kadabra's Special stat. While you can still get him just as early (though Abra can only be found on Route 24), it's much harder to beat the game with him, especially alone, since it's essentially weaker than a Kadabra is in the normal game.
*** [[OlympusMons Mew]][[FinalBoss two]] is nerfed too despite his unobtainability. His Attack and HP bases were nerfed, his Special stat was nerfed from 154 to 135 and his speed from 130 to 110. And its Amnesia now only upgrades Special by one rank.

*** Exeggutor's Special stat was nerfed, and with his quadruple weakness to Bug moves and his Ghost weakness (both types were heavily buffed), he can't take beatings too well, and his base speed isn't reliable at all.

** Double Team. Evasion boosts disappear from this hack. All this move gives now is a simple defense boost.
*** Minimize has been triply nerfed. All sprite-change moves are hacked to be [[EpicFail no-damage auto-kill moves]] that absolutely nobody can learn properly.
** The Toxic + Leech Seed combination can't be done since Toxic has been changes to halving the opponent's HP instead of heavy poisoning, and Leech Seed is essentially a Grass-type Psychic.
** High critical-ratio moves' power have been relatively nerfed (read:left untouched while other moves took a power spike up), though they're still viable to be spammed, with damage that can't be lowered and is still the best this side of Hyper Beam.
** The Blizzard move. While freezing is removed, it's still a force to be reckoned with since if it hits, you still get a 30% flinch chance. Blizzard's power and accuracy, to mitigate this, have been actually nerfed.
** Jolteon, despite his Psychic-counteracting buffs, has been nerfed especially in his Special stat (all Eeveelutions have 90 base special instead of 110), but it also has 62 base defense, making it as much a FragileSpeedster as before, as even with his newfound 100 base HP, most other mons have a buffed attack stat.
** Dragonite lost the lockdown ability of Wrap since all moves like that were changed. Wrap is a slightly-damaging move that has a 10% chance to reduce the opponent's speed. But Thunder Wave reduces it by half and Wrap isn't powerful at all, making the move useless and Dragonite much more reliant on its high Attack stat for more brutal attacks like Body Slam, and a splash on STAB Hyper Beam for special sweeping.
** Normal-type isn't the best offensive type in the game given the much more common spread of Rock (most Pokemons evolving by stones become Rock-type) and Ghost-types. Besides, Earthquake isn't efficient against Ghost-types anymore. Normal-types became weak to Poison, making them not quite as resistant as before. Also, since all StandardStatusAilments were removed, Body Slam trades the 30% paralysis for a 30% flinch rate and has a lowered base power, and Hyper Beam being Dragon-type means no STAB on it for Normal-types except now-Normal-Dragon-type Tauros.
*** Snorlax got some of its stats nerfed (no fully evolved has less than 50 base in any stat, which means Snorlax had to trade some other stats for the 20 speed it lacked), but it's still very bulky despite the no-over-135-base-stat clause meaning that its HP (and therefore its tankiness) have been reduced.
*** Chansey got its stat spread change due to the clause exposed on Snorlax, except Chansey was affected by it even more since it has not 20 but 90 points to pass to the physical stats, all taken from HP and Special. Its Special-walling dominance is also put to a stop with its Special AND HP nerf.
*** Tauros keeps its very solid stats, but almost every other mon got buffed to its level (or something close), and it got the Dragon-type added to its normal type, adding him weakness to Dragon and Ice; and since both are specially-based, they will kill the thing in one hit. Also, Hyper Beam is now Dragon-type, which means it functions off of its still weak Special stat. This, and Fighting-type moves being more common and fighting-type mons being buffed means it can be beaten much more easily.
*** Persian got nerfed too, by becoming a Ground-type (making its status as ground specialist Giovanni's ace legit) and consequently gaining more weaknesses. Its Attack and Speed are comparatively less overwhelming (given many mons got buffs in these stats and it got almost none), and Slash's power was relatively nerfed too. Besides, the much higher number of Ghost-types and Rock-types make STAB Slash much less threatening.
*** Starmie's Special nerf and its newfound Rock type makes it much weaker, especially to Grass-type threats.
* NumberOfTheBeast: [[FinalBoss Mewtwo]]'s total base stat, Special counting twice, is 666.
* OneHitKill: Defied. One-hit-KO moves are changed to be simply very powerful, no-effect moves.

** Parasect, Rapidash and Seadra now make one, with the same type as the starters (including the Dragon-type at their final levels of evolution). They become Pokemon of choice for your rival, since he gets one of them depending on your own starter, and Lance whips '''all three of them'''.

* SpamAttack: Attacks that could hit up to 5 times in the same turn were taken off to avoid randomness. Now they all hit twice, so that they can break clones.

* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: He cheats, and he knows it.

* CatchPhrase: Just like {{Naruto}}, believe it!

* {{Expy}}: To StoneColdSteveAustin.

A PokemonRed romhack by @/{{Wax}} [[DevelopmentHell still under work]].\\

* [[UselessUsefulSpell Useless Useful Buff]]: Splash is Water-type. But its effect (doing absolutely nothing) is unchanged.

* PlayfulHacker: Mentions his "1337 H4x0r 5k1llz".
