    Gotta steal 'em all!

    Play through the original Ruby/Sapphire story with a twist--you can steal trainers' Pok?mon.
    This project was made using the the pokeruby decompilation project, and its source code can be found here: https://github.com/huderlem/pokeruby-thief

    Rules:
    1. Poke Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls are now named Thief Balls, Robber Balls, and Burglar Balls.
    2. You can capture trainers' Pok?mon using those balls. (Stealing is not allowed in Double Battles.)
    3. You cannot capture wild Pok?mon.
    4. Your Pok?mon do not gain experience.

    I kind of like the idea of your Pokemon not actually earning XP, so you need to rely on constantly catching stronger and stronger Pokemon from the trainers you face in order to progress.

    This is surprisingly clever! I love this idea
     
    Interesting! Now that is something I have never seen.
    Thanks for awesome idea for my next R/S/E run! :D
     
    This game is fun, but it would be more fun if Pokemon wouldn't act like trade Pokemon. It's tough enough to beat normally with no exp gains, but I have found it impossible to beat when my Pokemon always loaf around or disobey because i caught them from another trainer.

    I didn't actually realize this happened (never played through the game myself). I can put out a fix for this in a couple days.
     
    ^Its really possible to beat the game just as I also beat the game as well. Its pretty fun challenging hack on the eariler half until later it gets way easier as catching gets easier except for Steven's metagross.

    Do you have any suggestions for improving the second half of the game?

    Personally like the ideas pitched across here, especially if it is provided as a separate patch.
     
    All the links go to the 1.1 versions of the ruby and sapphire ips. Do the 1.2 versions add anything interesting?
