Black 2 hack: Pokemon Black 2: Silly Edition

[FruitLoops]

Pokemon Black 2: Silly Edition will PERMANENTLY change how you view Pokémon, for better or worse!​

LADIES and GENTLEMEN, BOYS and GIRLS, the Rom Hack NO ONE asked for but needs is coming soon! The tomfoolery of this hack knows no bounds and everyone will become victim to it! It's the same game as vanilla Black 2 except it possesses many SIGNIFICANT uh... "Upgrades" to every single Pokémon and they've been redistributed to every part of Unova! These aren't just basic buffs and nerfs that you see in a lot of enhancement hacks a lot of these changes are WILD

Here are some Examples of Pokemon Changes:​

Spoiler:

• Slowpoke with SPEED BOOST
  
• Shinx and Luxio become Electric/Dark like every ROM Hack imaginable but Luxray was kept as an Electric Type
  
• Salamence with Butterfree-like stats and evolution levels
  [*]PSUEDOLEGENDARY BUTTERFREE PSUEDOLEGENDARY BUTTEFREE
  
• HUGE POWER Chansey and Archeops
  
• HEATPROOF FERROTHORN
  
• Any Pokémon famous for being not good or INCREDIBLY derivative and mid (Think Lumineon or Ledian) are now Top-Tier Threats
  
• Many other HILLARIOUS changes! Experience the game yourself!

Many of these changes seem BROKEN when you first think about it but the game actually rebalances every Pokémon AROUND their new tools as every Pokémon received SIGNIFICANTLY altered stats and movepools. Your formerly tanky Pokémon could be changed into a glass cannon sweeper, a glass cannon sweeper could become a primarily Special Tank with Regenerator, who knows! It's like a very very specialized Pokémon Randomizer custom tailored around Pokémon synergies and making sure everyone is entertaining to use throughout! The general power level of Pokémon are actually kept quite similar to Vanilla Black 2 or your average Enhancement Hacks that buff the useless Pokémon as there's no truly bad Pokémon in Pokémon Black 2: Silly Edition!

Despite all the excessive silliness Pokémon Black 2: Silly Edition aims to be a very high-quality ROM Hack that is genuinely fun to play AND nuzlocke for you hardcore fanatics! Many conveniences were added and we go out of our way to create an incredibly fair difficulty curve that even casual players can enjoy without getting too frustrated!

Here are the many OTHER things Silly Edition offers that make it much more than just a fun little novelty:​

Spoiler:

• Lots of REDONE Dialogue! Lots of NEW Silly Banter with NPCs!
• Approximately 450 Pokémon can be caught in the Main-Game and Every Pokémon is catcheable in Post-Game!
• REAL THEMED GYMS! No more type-exclusives! For example, Clay uses Pokémon that would likely appear in a Wild West Movie and Marlon uses Tropical Themed Pokémon!
• Modern Conveniences for Grinding such as gaining a Lucky Egg from Flocessy Ranch and Buyable Rare Candies!
• Get a Super Rod in the beginning of the game for way more new Encounters for both Nuzlockers and Casual Players alike!
• Genuine incentives to save up PokéDollars! Lots of useful items can be bought throughout!
• An absolutely BRUTAL Post-Game! Trainers will all have competitive movesets! You will also be given access to way more competitive items and EV-Training to allow you to build YOUR perfect team as the Game's Difficulty hits PETAL TO THE METAL!
• A BEAUTIFUL All-In-One Master Spreadsheet showing all the Pokémon Changes, Moveset changes, Major Trainer Data, Encounter Data, and much more!

Pokémon Black 2: Silly Edition does not have a public Download yet HOWEVER it is open to Playtesters! Up to Gym 5 is playable however the Dialogue rewrites are still in a very early stage as we are currently focusing on making sure the gameplay of Silly Edition is as entertaining as possible before we move onto writing! When the game has a real public release it will be added to this thread! We encourage most Playtesters to be on Discord for the best communication but I am willing to share the xdelta files privately here with Playtesters as well!

I have been doing some summer work so development has been a bit slow lately but Gym 6 and parts of Gym 7 are now playable in the Playtester build! Make sure to join the Discord to receive more updates! Script Rewrites are done up to the Second Badge and pretty much every piece of dialogue has been completely changed for the... more interesting.
