Pokémon Spinoff: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Red Rescue Team QOL Changes Hack

[holocron]

This hack makes various changes to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Red Rescue Team.
Items have been colorized

PP of certain moves has been increased

The abilities and even typing of some starters has been changed, here is Meowth!

This hack incorporates Cipnit's Complete Control hack, so that you may control each member of your team separately! There's also been a complete overhaul of all recruitment values, as well as other changes! I hope this hack streamlines your Red Rescue Team experience.

Good to see more Mistery Dungeon hacks. It seems pretty cool, and the balance of the starters look great, but... Torchic with huge power? Isn't that a little... broken? I'm just saying, I've haven't tried it yet.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

Can you recruit fully evolved Pokemon in dungeons in this hack?

 

[IONA1]

Amazing. Thank you. You don't see a lot of pmd hacks (basically none, actually), so this is appreciated

 

[Burningocean2012]

Seeing romhacks of this game is super rare!I'll play this instead of replaying Blue Rescue Team. :]

 

[Inner Rhymes]

This looks really dope. Don't mind me asking, but is there a difficulty increase by any chance?

 

[Tako13]

How about add shiny pokemon features? :3

I think legendary recruitment rates might be broken (like kyogre, zapdos etc) these have relatively high recruitment rates and I've attempted about 30+ times each with no luck. So then I tested with an "easy recruit" cheat that works on everything else, still fail to recruit. Which is a shame because this stops the postgame story

Did you have a full team? Did your team have any memebers with a size of 2 stars or more?

Nope, went in solo each time. Post game, tried with friend bow and without just to make sure it wasn't a glitch with the item. Tried everything. Then I loaded my .sav file into a clean copy of pmd red rescue team and I was immediately able to recruit the legendaries
