HeartGold hack: HGSS Competitive Battle Factory (Frontier) RomHack

[Sakharu]

I've played the battle factory for many years now and I got tired of knowing the sets and how boring some of them are so I made my own hack that replace every single set by a competitive one (950 in total), inspired by Smogon sets.

The hack makes the battle factory harder and also crazier, leading to tense fights most of the time.

The further you progress, the stronger the Pokémon that appear become, and the more competitive their sets are, from 1st stage Pokemon at the beginning to Arceus, Mewtwo & stuff in the later rounds.

👉If you really want to enjoy this hack as I planned it, you need to play as level 50, make only one exchange in each round and avoid picking Arceus.

I also made it to be 60 frames per second in fights, making the battles more fluid and enjoyable.

I am sharing a patch and a save so you're already in the battle factory. I've made one for English (US) and another for French (FR) I didn't test any other language but I am assuming it will work fine.

PS1: I made my own tool to convert Pokemon showdown data to battle factory data, maybe I could release it in the future so everyone could change the sets as their please.
PS2 : The data used by the Battle Tower trainers are the same as the battle factory so this hack also changes the battle tower Pokemon, making it extremely hard.
PS3: This also works on console.

Credits : The DSPRE team, I used it to unpack and repack the data, Smogon for some of the sets, everything else is made by Sakharu (me).

Loving Battle the Factory Romhack you make!

One Suggestion: can you make DOUBLE BATTLES have 4 pokemon instead of 3?

Thank you!

I am thinking of making a different romhack for double battles with proper sets more interesting for doubles using move like Follow Me, Protect, Helping Hand, spread move this kind of stuff

If I have to do that, I will change it to be 4v4 that's for sure, but for now I am quite busy!

Bonsoir Sakharu, le travail que tu as fourni est génial !
J'aimerais savoir comment faire pour utiliser ta sauvegarde pour jouer à la rom ? Est-ce qu'il faut l'installer comme le patch ?
Merci d'avance !

If you play on emu you just need to have the save & the rom on the same folder (and they need to have the same name minus the extension)

Si tu joues sur émulateur t'as juste besoin d'avoir la sauvegarde dans le même dossier que la rom (et ils doivent avoir le même nom sauf l'extension, ce qui est déjà le cas normalement)

Si vous jouez sur emu, vous devez simplement avoir la sauvegarde et la rom dans le même dossier (et ils doivent avoir le même nom moins l'extension)

salut tu pourrais me donner le nom d'un émulateur pour jouer à ce jeu stpp

Bonsoir Sakharu. Merci pour ce travail. J'ai malheureusement un chromebook, et quand j'essaie d'ouvrir le fichier avec un émulateur nintendo ds pour chromebook, il ne se lance pas. Tu aurais une idée de ce que je pourrais faire ?

Can i ask the reason you should only play at level 50 and not take arceus?

 

[nickwatic]

another couple questions i have, do pokemon have more than 1 set in the system, and also did you edit the AI at all? they seem to go for the non-optimal move often
