All trainers can be rematched but rematches yield 1/2 of the normal exp until Elite Four is beaten
Enemy trainers Pokemon can have stat exp (EVs) there are three categories of level dependant stat exp
Normal trainers – 64 stat exp per level, enough for 20/64 extra stats at level 100
Gym Leaders and Rival – 324 per level, enough for 45/64 extra stats at level 100
Elite Four and optional bosses – 655 per level, enough for 64/64 extra stats at level 100
All enemy trainers Pokemon have 15/15 DVs in all stats. This means optional boss level 100 Pokemon have max stats
Items can not be used in boss battles by player or opponent. So no more Gym Leaders wasting turns on X items
Shift battle option does not work in boss battles
Pokemon sprites are a mixture of Blue, Green and Yellow version sprites, based on which I felt looked the best
Some trainers give bonus money when defeated. There are three levels of bonus money
Bonus equal to normal prize money – given by Elite Four and a few mini bosses
Bonus equal to 10 X normal prize money – given by optional bosses
Bonus equal to 100 X normal prize money – given by the strongest 3 optional bosses
Exp.ALL now gives full exp and stat exp to all Pokemon in the party
Exp.All can be obtained by catching 100 Pokemon or bought at Elite Four shop
Critical hit rate is still based on speed but is half of vanilla values, so fast Pokemon have about 12% crit rate
Badge boosts are no longer a thing
Maximum sleep turns is now 4 rather than 7
1 in 256 glitch is fixed
A critical hit can not occur if it would deal less damage than a normal attack, that is if all the following are satisfied
Attacking mon has offensive stat boosted to +3 or higher
Defending mon has non boosted defensive stat
Defending mon does not have reflect/lightscreen up
Pokemon no longer miss out on level up moves if they skip that level
the invulnerability glitch on Fly and Dig is fixed for player and opponent
The healing glitch when remaining hp is 255 is fixed
Rest restores stat drops from paralysis and burn
Stat penalties from paralysis and burn are not re-applied on a stat modification
Substitue blocks status as it is supposed to
Some glitches and features are left in to maintain that gen 1 feeling
Enemies still have infinite pp, it makes them harder, even if it is unfair
Hyper beam still will not require a recharge after defeating an enemy
Trapping moves can still prevent enemy movement
Freeze still lasts forever
Sleeping Pokemon still don’t attack on wake up
Game uses FAST text speed and SET battle style by default
AI
Enemies will not prioritize super effective moves if they are non-damaging
Enemies will consider both player Pokemon types when assessing if a move is super effective
Enemies will favor their STAB moves 50% of the time they don’t have a super effective move
If enemy Pokemon HP is below 33% all non-damaging moves except healing moves are deprioritized
If the players Pokemon is in red health the enemy pokemon will always attack with damaging moves
Boss enemies will switch Pokemon under the following conditions
HP > 25% and one of Attack, Special or Accuracy have been lowered to -2 or lower
HP > 25% and enemy afflicted with leech seed, 25% chance to switch per turn
HP > 25% and enemy afflicted with toxic, 50% chance to switch per turn
Enemy Pokemon is in a state of SLP or FRZ and player uses a healing or stat boosting move
When switching Pokemon Enemies use the following citeria
Pokemon that are in a state of SLP or FRZ are saved for last
If all Pokemon on the enemy team are in SLP they won’t switch, to allow wake up
Healing moves and sacrificial moves are used according to the following rules
deprioritized if above 50% HP
prioritized if below 33% HP
for some boss enemies Healing moves are prioritized if below 50% HP
Reflect and light screen obey the following rules
deprioritized if they are already up
deprioritized if player has picked a move of the other damage category
deprioritized if the player has boosted stats in the other damage category
prioritized if player selected a damaging move of the defending category
prioritized if player has boosted stats in the defending category
Amnesia and Swords Dance obey the following rules
prioritized if the enemy Pokemon is at less than +2 in the relevant stat
deprioritized if the relevant stat is at +4, due to the stat limit of 999
Moves that lower accuracy are prioritized if player Pokemon isn’t at least at -1 accuracy
Stat dropping moves, such a growl are deprioritized if player is at -3 in the relevant stat
Stat boosting moves, such a barrier are deprioritized if enemy is at +4 in the relevant stat
moves that inflict paralysis are
prioritized if against a faster opponent
50% chance to be used against a slower opponent
Leech seed and substitute are deprioritized if already in effect
Enemies will not use ineffective moves if the player is behind a substitute
AI is clever about using Fly and Dig while the player is also using them
Useless moves like splash or roar won’t be used in battle
