Welcome back to the adaptation of Pokémon Silver Blue, in a Remixed form! Previously in the normal version, I made a faithful remake of the game that aims to adapt Fire Red and Leaf Green with Gen 4 mechanics, moves and items, also slightly increasing the difficulty by doing so but keeping the exact same Pokémon. You could explore the region in a practically open world setting and catch every Pokémon in the Kanto region- but my problem with it now is that it didn't provide enough of a challenge in my opinion. Sure, some fights are worthy to wipe to such as Rival 5 and Sabrina, but with all the buffed up Pokémon you could get early on like a Choice Band Crobat before the second gym, it didn't really fit well for nuzlockes. So, I've now produced the challenge mode for this hack: and it goes beyond than just being harder fights.

New Features:

Harder Fights!: This is the most obvious one, but a lot of the significant boss trainers have been reworked to have counters to their main weaknesses and preventing several fights from being a one sided sweep. But this isn't just adding an extra Pokémon, it's completely reworking them with new items, movesets and even adding Johto Pokémon to the game, since in Saffron City you can take the train to Goldenrod and back. For example, Brock has a Corsola, Blue has a Scizor and Giovanni has a Gliscor!

Map Reworks: This limits the whole open world thing but not too heavily. Saffron City is now inaccessible without going through Route 8, as the Route 5 way instantly warps you to Vermillion City, and the Route 6 way instantly warps you to Route 5. Route 8 has been turned into a gauntlet of trainers you have to get through. Furthermore, Route 11 and 12 have also became gauntlets, and no you can't surf around it. This makes it a lot harder to cheat around the normal way for nuzlockes. On a more positive note though, Surf is no longer required to get to the Power Plant.

Features Rework: Pokeathlon and Coins have been left unchanged, however the BP you can get from the save file has been changed to only be 1500, which is still a lot, but makes you budget a bit with spamming items, so Focus Sash strategies may not work as well. However, it now gives you 999 Rare Candies for nuzlockes.

New Level Caps: They're now 15, 24, 26, 34, 43, 45, 49, 52, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 and 66.

Mandatory Trainers: Some trainers in gyms and routes have now been made mandatory, for example the gym trainers in Brock's gym is now mandatory as well as a lot in Route 3 too.

Well, there's not a lot to mention over Silver Blue Remix 1.0, but it still provides great changes to your overall experience! Anyway, here's some instructions on how to patch.

In the .7z file you'll find a .ups file and a .sav file. You'll want to patch a Pokémon Soul Silver (USA) file and patch it in Rom Patcher JS using the .ups file. Afterwards, you'll have to import the .sav file in, which will depend based on the emulator, which you should find easy instructions for. You may also have to convert it to a .dsv file by just renaming it.

Well, that's all for now! Thank you for playing my ROM hacks!
