Game Modes
The project has 2 modes, a Normal Mode and a Casual Mode. Both modes have the same trainer battles, but in Casual Mode you can build your own adventure. What is meant by your own adventure? In a new game, if the option Casual Mode is chosen, access to a newly added house south of Littleroot Town will be granted. This place has a lot of settings to customize the game. That includes choosing a gimmick (Mega, Tera outside the Tera Islands, or Z-Moves) and access to a lot of powerful items. Basically, Casual Mode provides the player with many more tools to play the game.
Randomizer Options
- Scaled Randomizer: The quality of encounters scales with progress made
- Normal Randomizer: Regular randomizer where anything can be encountered
