Pokemon Too Many Types

Introduction to Pokemon Too Many Types

Pokemon Too Many Types is a unique and imaginative hack mod of Pokemon Emerald, offering a fresh experience for fans of the series. This mod adds an array of new gameplay elements, mechanics, and features that drastically transform the game. With 62 Pokemon types, including quirky ones like Gamer, Smash, Furry, and Magic, this hack is sure to surprise and entertain players looking for something out of the ordinary.

Gameplay Changes

The most significant feature of Pokemon Too Many Types is the inclusion of 44 new types, bringing the total to a whopping 62. Some of the standout new types include:

• Gamer: Immune to sandstorms.
• Sus: Adds an element of surprise to battles.
• Furry: A fun addition for fans of the community.
• Pikachu: The only type that can use exclusive Pikachu moves.

In addition to the new types, the mod introduces 118 new moves and alters the types of 180 existing ones. Pokemon can now have up to three types, adding complexity to team-building and strategy. The regional dex has also been revamped with 295 Pokemon, all assigned fresh types for a completely new experience.

Story Changes

The story has been enhanced with some intriguing updates. Gym Leaders and Elite Four members now specialize in the new types, creating exciting challenges for players. Non-gym and non-rival trainers have randomized teams, with randomization scaled based on similar strength, making each encounter unpredictable. There are also new cutscenes featuring event Pokemon and Gen 8 Fossil Pokemon.

Quality of Life (QoL) Improvements

To streamline gameplay, Pokemon Too Many Types includes numerous QoL enhancements:

• Infinite Rare Candy and Escape Rope key items are now available, removing the grind of leveling up and backtracking.
• Pressing L in battle allows you to view the enemy party, giving players more information during encounters.
• A double press of the B button lets you run from battles more easily.
• Pokemon can relearn moves directly from the party screen, eliminating the need to visit a move relearner.

The game also incorporates mechanics and stats from the latest Pokemon generations, ensuring that both old and new fans can enjoy modernized gameplay.

New Evolution Methods

Many evolution methods have been tweaked for better accessibility. Trade evolutions now occur with a Link Cable Item, while trade evolutions with items (e.g., Slowpoke evolving into Slowking with a King’s Rock) can be triggered simply by using the item, similar to evolution stones.

For example:

• Scraggy evolves into Scrafty at level 28.
• Axew evolves into Fraxure at level 30, and into Haxorus at level 44.

Lavaridge Town now sells all evolution stones, and all evolution items can be purchased at the Lilycove Department Store, along with battle items.

Special Type Interactions

Certain new types come with special abilities that affect battle outcomes:

• Dream Type: Cannot be put to sleep.
• Dance Type: Immune to paralysis.
• Fluffy Type: Cannot be frozen.
• Silly Type: Cannot be confused.
• Bad Type: Immune to burns.

Some types even have unique gameplay mechanics, such as Reverse Type, which reverses the type effectiveness of moves hitting the Pokemon, and Type Type, which doubles the effectiveness of type modifiers.

Conclusion

Pokemon Too Many Types is a must-play for Pokemon fans seeking an innovative twist on the traditional gameplay formula. The sheer number of new types, moves, and changes to the core mechanics ensures that each playthrough will be a fresh and exciting adventure.
