Hello this is my first time trying to hack a DS Era Game so I decided to keep this one simple. This hack does one simple thing and that is to introduce old Pokemon into the main story of Pokemon Black. I called this hack Classic Mode because I wanted to make Pokemon Black feel like the Pokemon games from gens three and four where they would have most of their new Pokemon on display and still give you the option to use a select few Pokemon from past generations. In total the amount of Pokemon I added was 148 (37 from each region). As for the trainers I made sure for the major battles I wanted to make sure that they had large amounts of Unovan Pokemon as I wanted to make sure the old Pokemon do not drown out the new ones. Also I say this hack is a bit harder than the base game and the final boss is very hard in my opinion. As for the post game I didn't change much as it is when old Pokemon are actually introduced into the game. There are still some trainers I edited though, those being the Elite 4 rematch, Alder, Cheren Post Game Battle, Bianca Post Game Battle and Cynthia. That is all I have to say about my hack, I hope you enjoy.
(EDIT, 1.1 IS OUT. all it does is edit/fix some teams (Like how I accidentally gave Cress 2 panpours which has been fixed, sorry Tepig fans) and move around some wild Pokemon so they are more common in their routes or just appear in more routes)
(EDIT, 1.2 IS OUT. This is most likely the final major update for this Rom Hack and it is focused on the Pokemon themselves. a large amount of Pokemon have had their evolution requirements and level up learnsets altered. Some trainers have been edited as well as encounter spots to reflect these changes. (I recommend looking around in the other Relic Castle entrance in the Desert Resort)
(EDIT, 1.3 IS OUT. I did not expect to make this update but I still had some ideas left over. So for the first time some Pokemon's Stats, Abilities and Typings have been altered. Also I have been doing a lot of encounter and level up move pool stuff since 1.2, changes are below.)
(This Rom Hack is officially complete! No new edits will be made past this point unless issues are discovered which then I will do my best to fix them. Thank You for Playing! I first released this Rom Hack at the end of August and I had no idea I would be working on it up until now. This all started from me thinking about how bad Brycen had it in this game only being able to pick from three pure Ice Type evolution lines and it spawned into this, it turned out way better than I thought it would, even doing things that I thought would be unachievable. (trust me it was hard to find tools for BW1, most of the tools I found were only for BW2). This is still just a beginner level Rom Hack so if your new don't expect your socks to be knocked off or anything and I'm still a bit iffy on some encounter spots but hey, it's hard to shove 148 new Pokemon into a game where the main story is only made for 156 Pokemon. (304 in total! of course not all are encounterable, those being event Pokemon like Victini outside of Zorua who is in the wild now) I tried my best to make the encounters as good as possible but I'm rambling a bit. I said it once and I'll say it again, Thank You for Playing!)
(HOT FIX 1: Like I said if I found Issues I would change them. The Issues I found while playing through this Rom Hack and fixed were. Abomasnow evolves at 40, I thought it evolved at 35 so a gym trainer and Brycen had underleveled Abomasnows so I changed Snover's evolution level to 35. A few Pokemon flew under my radar for editing so the level up movepools for Yanma/Yanmega and Murkrow/Hounchkrow have been edited. Skyla's team has been revaimed because I found it too easy, same goes for Brycen but not to the same degree. Finally some parts of the game felt a bit bland when it came to the wild Pokemon so I did some encounter editing.)
If you are Wondering there WILL NOT be an Encounter Document I simply do not have the time or patience to make one. If you wish to find out where something is I would recommend the encounter editor I used, which you will find at the bottom, to look at what encounters are in any area. Same goes for level up moves, use ANDT to find those.
