    Description:

    This is a roguelite hack that is inspired by Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, in which the Pit of 100 Trials is an optional dungeon with 100 floors of battles. We have translated that concept into Pokemon with some twists.

    In this challenge, you start with 3 random Pokemon and must fight through a random trainer gauntlet over 100 Floors. You and each trainer have random mons. There is a singles, doubles, and mixed mode as well as tons of other difficulty and challenge options. The Enemy trainer mon levels are tied to the floor number, with Lvl 1 being the minimum and Lvl 100 being the maximum. The number of trainers per floor is random from 1-4, at the start its weighted towards single trainer floors and the average number increases as you progress. After clearing each floor you will get item drops and then the next floor warp will activate letting you progress. Every 5th floor is a Heal/Shop/Tutor floor where you will be able to rest and prepare for the next trial. Every 25th floor, there is a random Boss battle with a harder trainer, if you defeat the boss you will be given an option to gain a party member.

    If you do manage to beat the final trainer on Floor 100, you can choose to keep going and see how far you can get. That's all the info I've got. Hopefully, you have fun. If you're interested in discussing the hack make sure to join the Discord.

    Update: v1.2 ---- 05/10/2024


    Now Normal vs Extra Random are decided in game before a run starts instead of being different patches.

    There is a Doubles mode that is in beta but seems to be working, it will ask you which mode with the Extra Random question before a run.

    Some QOL stuff like 3 random item drops instead of 2 per floor, move relearned NPC every 20 floors, Move names for TMs in shops, instant text as default (can be changed), Exp curves standardized to Medium Fast, Random item type chances balanced around heals more, Exp Share updated to be 75% of max instead of 50

    Super excited to play this, but it keeps crashing. I enter the first floor and it's as though the game is trying to enter a wild pokemon encounter before the screen looks like a CRT TV and freezes. I've tried both trashman and a different rombase to no success on myboy. Any help would be appreciated

    Edit: tested the same rom on openemu and it works fine

    Yeah MyBoy just doesn't seem to work for it. I have no idea why as it works on all actually good emulators and it works completely fine on actual hardware. There are multiple other mobile emulators people have tested for it that work though.
     

    Update v1.4 -- 05/18/2024


    Lots of changes have been made.
    Floor Movers have been added that let you pay to skip floors.
    Trainer number per floor is now random instead of set.
    Item drops are now random between 1 and 3.
    A Hard Mode has been added with less Exp Share Gain.
    Updated Learnsets for Normal Random so Mons can learn the other 50 TMs added. (wiz1989, Aereon)
    Item balance changes (wiz1989)
    Final Boss Trainer has all Evolved Mons.
    Pokemon now start at Level 1 on Floor 1 and go up from there.
     
    Hey so I tried the all gen and all gen random version but it crashes on myboy too.. I don't have another emulator but I got Meloetta. Now I can't get over it🤣
     

    UPDATED: v1.5 ---- 06/02/2024

    There are a bunch of updates coming in version 1.5 most of which were created by wiz1989.
    Added new Mode Menu UI to set up different game modes. Added new Option Menu to match style of other UIs.
    Random held items for opponent mons. Further price balancing. Added Move Tutor for Egg moves and special Tutor moves.

    This is very cool, I love seeing something new and different. I had almost avoided it because I saw it called a rougelite on reddit and that's not my jam, but idk I feel like this is a different, and who cares about semantics.

    Yeah thats fair, I labeled it "rogue-lite style" in the description just because it's the easiest way to explain the general gameplay loop you're in for to people. But it's just a random battle gauntlet where you level up as you go and fight increasingly harder trainers.
     
    So, I gave this a spin last evening, and my word, am I having the time of my life! I have never really enjoyed Fangames/ ROM hacks that took a full-blown Rogue approach as I found it far too overwhelming for me to keep up. This, however, hits the sweet spot I have been looking for. There's not much going on, and it's purely battle-centric which has me hooked. I love how the HP bars have been designed. There's something so satisfying in watching HP deplete from those segmented cubes. I do have a few questions/ suggestions to make if I may.

    - Do you plan on including character customization or at least avatars for the player to choose from?
    - Would you consider adding a jukebox feature before the run begins so players can choose what soundtrack they'd like played when a battle starts?
    - I understand money scarcity adds to the survival component of this, but maybe include items like Stardust, nuggets, etc. to make a rare appearance?

    I made it to floor 68 on my first run!

    I have thought about adding a character customizer. I'm not sure if it will happen but it is definitely in the list of potential features.

    I haven't really considered a jukebox, but I am likely going to make the battle tracks random each time, potentially including some of the battle songs from the Gen 4/5 music expansion branch.

    I think having a rare chance for an item of large value like those might be good to have. I'll definitely run it by Wiz and see how he thinks it'll affect balance
