Pokemon Randomisers V1

	Pokemon Randomiser (General FAQ) V1

Q - What is randomised?
A - Things that are randomised are as follows:

Starter Pokemon.
Pokemon Level Up Movepools.
TM Moves.
TM/HM Move Compatability.
Trainer Names.
Wild Pokemon.
Trainer Pokemon.
Legendary Pokemon.
Field Items (items you pick up) excluding HM Moves.
Pokemon Held Items.
Move Tutor Moves and Compatability
Catching Tutorial

Anything not listed isn't random and is the same.

Q - What else is different?
A - Things that are different:

Instant Text. The text goes as fast as you can mash A or B.

Forced Fully Evolved Pokemon - This means past Level 45 (At Cyrus in D/P/PT or at Lance in HG/SS) all Pokemon are fully evolved only; this generally makes these fights a lot harder.

Forced "Good" TM Distribution - This is set to 50%, meaning half of the time a TM is useful and half of the time it isn't. This can make going out of your way for a TM you know the location of a good play, since it could contain a useful coverage, STAB or boosting move.

Changed evolutions to make them easier.
This means if you get a pokemon like Graveler that only evolves by trade it'll trade by level up instead, or by using the specific trade item on it (ex. Gligar + Razor Fang = Gliscor).

Rival also carries the starter he chooses the entire game, and they evolve etc.

Q - What is disallowed?
A - Lucky Egg is banned and cannot be found in these randomisers, since it leads to it being too easy.

Also early Wonder Guard pokemon (Shedinja) aren't found early on (before 2nd badge I believe) to prevent getting walled.
You can, however, find Shedinja as a Starer Pokemon.

Q - Is it glitched or glitchless?
A - Generally I play these as glitchless runs; however if more interest is there I'll do glitched runs too.

Q - How difficult are randomisers?
A - They introduce an element of on-the-fly routing and so can be great for getting better at pokemon games.
The difficulty is usually a lot higher than a normal Pokemon game as fights can vary widlly and you only play through the rom once.

Q - What randomiser are you using?
A - Dabomstew's Universal Pokemon Randomiser. You can find it here - http://pokehacks.dabomstew.com/randomizer/
