Pokéwanderer

Pokéwanderer is a "gameplay overhaul" hack based on various entries in Chunsoft's "Mystery Dungeon" franchise. The primary inspirations behind the changes are Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon(2015) and Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer(1995), though it also borrows ideas from various other titles. While the hack does get much more difficult than the base game, it's not exactly a "kaizo" hack either, just a different design approach.

Primary features:

• Major starter re-balancing -Recruitment is disabled except for certain exceptions
• Every enemy plays a distinct role in Dungeons, and every encounter holds a lot more weight
• Regen speed is much higher, and enemy spawnrates are slightly slower.
• Items are much more important, playing an equal role to moves. The proper use and management of items is crucial to your survival.
• All items and money are lost on death, and most Dungeons quick save at the start as an anti-cheat measure.
