Pokemon: Evolved is a ROM hack of Pokémon LeafGreen that significantly expands the original gameplay by redesigning evolution mechanics and extending the Pokédex. The project modifies all original Generation I Pokémon to include additional evolution stages, increasing the total number of obtainable creatures and creating a more complex progression system. It introduces custom sprites, new Pokédex entries, and shiny variants for the added evolutions, enhancing both visual and gameplay variety. Core mechanics such as stats, movesets, and evolution levels have been rebalanced to provide a more challenging and engaging experience. The hack also ensures that all Pokémon can be obtained within a single playthrough by adjusting encounter rates and availability across routes. Additional quality-of-life changes, such as infinite rare candies and simplified evolution requirements, streamline progression while maintaining difficulty.
