Pokemon Renegade Platinum

Introduction: Pokemon Renegade Platinum is a comprehensive enhancement hack of the official Nintendo DS game Pokemon Platinum. Created by Drayano, it is set in the familiar Sinnoh region but overhauls the original experience with a focus on increased difficulty, expanded Pokemon availability, and refined mechanics, all while maintaining the DS-era visual style.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The hack begins with a choice of all 12 starters from the first four generations: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. Its difficulty is significantly raised, featuring stronger AI, improved trainer teams, and buffed boss battles, making it a popular but demanding choice for Nuzlocke runs. It retains the Physical/Special split from the original Gen IV games but does not add the Fairy type or Mega Evolution, staying true to its Gen IV engine while incorporating a permanent day/night cycle.

Key Features:

• Complete Sinnoh Dex Availability: Every Pokemon from the original Sinnoh Pokedex, plus many from the National Dex, can be caught in the wild before the post-game, removing trade evolutions and version exclusives.
• Major Boss Roster Overhauls: Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and key rivals like Barry and Cheryl use full teams of six Pokemon with improved movesets, items, and strategies.
• Quality-of-Life Improvements: Features include reusable TMs, the ability to run indoors, an early Vs. Seeker, and key item adjustments that streamline progression without altering the core story.

This hack is designed for players seeking a more challenging and complete Sinnoh adventure with all the original Pokemon at their disposal.
