Description:
Hello, Welcome back to Ducumon Website and I’m Pokemoner. We will play Pokemon VGC Platinum by InsipidAxiom! It’s an NDS hack ROM and based on Pokemon Platinum.
It’s reworked over 300 Pokemon, 137 Moves, 177+ Abilities, 52 Evolution and over 42 Types, Harder mode, and more… It’s fully playable in English. And now, Let’s play!
~300 Pokemon available
ALL of which have completely revamped movesets and many of which have buffs (the weaker ones like Tropius, Corsola, etc…). Many ‘mons learn status moves early on and then proceed to learn stronger stab moves and coverage moves in later levels. You’ll notice that most Pokemon you can catch are viable or have a niche.
137 Move changes / reworks
I had to fix so many moves to make them viable. For instance, I made Stone Edge slightly weak while making it more accurate. I’ve also gone ahead and improved otherwise useless moves by buffing their accuracy and base power (namely sand tomb and other trapping moves). Splash even does some minor spread damage!
117+ ability changes
I removed all useless abilities from the Pokemon I added to the game. For instance, Magcargo no longer can have magma armor. Instead, it is one of a few Drought users. Some bulkier Pokemon have access to Filter or Battle Armor.
52 evolution changes
This was mostly to fix those Pokemon that need trade evolutions. I changed them to level up!
42+ type changes
This was mainly add novelty but also to make certain Pokemon more viable that otherwise wouldn’t be. For example, Exploud is a Fighting/Normal dual type and has access to STAB Aura Sphere, while also having Scrappy as its ability.
All fishing rod encounters have been changed to only use the old rod for simplicity.
Rare candies are available for CHEAP so no grinding! This game is focused on battling. If you want to play with level caps on each gym, I’ve also included all of the gym leaders’ Pokemon.
The changelog document also includes where to find certain competitive items at pokemarts, as well as the gym leaders and elite fours’teams, items, and moves.Lastly, there is a very long list of every single Pokemon you can find on every route (grass/cave, surfing, and fishing).You’ll also notice that I scripted a couple of move-relearners into the game in both Eterna City and Hearthome City.The reason for this is that some un-evolved Pokemon get moves that their evolutions don’t. So let’s say you find a level 54 ____ in the wild and it gets confuse ray at level 14, but it’s evolution doesn’t get confuse ray, you’ll have access to a move relearner in 3 different cities.
Of course, every battle in this game is a double battle, similar to how VGC formats are played. Every trainer has Pokemon with held items, and a competitively revamped team. I thought out every single team over the course of a couple months, so I think you will find some of them quite challenging. I gave them (mostly) meaningful items to make the game challenging and require the player to think and plan out their attack for each battle. Because of the way Nintendo created their Gen4 games, you can’t actually fight a solo trainer as a double battle without the game freezing for reasons that you probably aren’t interested in. As such, I paired trainers together so if you walk through them you willactivate the double battle (you’ll see what I mean). This has drastically cut down on the number of trainers while having the fewer fights be more intense and drawn out, while also requiring more preparation. You will frequently have 6v6 battles, so go in prepared.
This game also features a doubles battle with Cynthia on Route 208 before Hearthome city. When I was playtesting it, it was REALLY difficult, so be prepared.
One of the most fun fights that I added was the 12v12 fight on spear pillar with you and your rival against Mars and Jupiter. It feels like the showdown it was meant to be.
Lastly, the starters also have been changed to Mudkip, Chimchar, and Bulbasaur.I hope you enjoy VGC Platinum! My dream is for people to play it, have fun, and make fun content in the community around it!
