Black hack: Pokemon Black and White Re-encountered

[ViridianMaridian]

Wish there were more than five Pokemon obtainable before the first gym in Pokemon Black and White?

Sick of waiting until near the end of the game to obtain Pokemon like Pawniard, Vullaby or Mienfoo?

Then download Pokemon Black and White Re-encountered today!



This small rom hack brings many of the later encounters forward and removes roadblocks to improve encounter variety in the early game. Every non-legendary and non-pseudo-legendary is available for capture before the seventh badge, including Zorua!

Some highlights include early access to the Dreamyard and Pinwheel Forest, Surf obtainable in Driftveil City and previously unremarkable routes like Route 18 given unique encounters.

Perfect for a first time playthrough. 99% of the adventure is the same, but now you can enjoy building your team from the wide variety of Unova Pokemon without waiting a painfully long time to obtain them all.

• Surf is now obtained in Driftveil City from Bianca in place of Fly.
