How QUICKLY Can You Complete Professor Oak's Challenge in Pokemon Emerald Kaizo? - ChaoticMeatball

It's finally here folks, a ROM hack Professor Oak's Challenge! It's been highly requested, so I figured I'd start it out in one of the hardest ROM hacks I've ever played, and I hope you enjoy. It's definitely the hardest POC I've done so far, but that doesn't mean there's harder ones out there. In fact, request them down below, I'm always open to new ROM hacks and fangames!

[@brianchapman9283]

That’s why I’ve never understood poc challenges. Looking at it logically professor oak would rather you fill the Pokédex as quickly as possibly rather than how the KZbinrs do it. If you can can a larvitar, pupitar, and tyranitar in 1 place for each of them then oak would rather have you catch one of each than grinding a larvitar into a tyranitar off of level 10 Pokémon and wasting time.

I'd love to see you do a POC in Altered Emerald. It's not a difficulty hack, just an enhancement hack of Emerald. There are new places to explore, wild Starter Pokemon, Quality of Life changes, and so much more. The story was altered and NPCs have witty dialogue (hint: talk to an NPC in their house in Mauville, pay attention to Maqua's dialogue because they all have some interesting things to say). It's not finished and there are still a few bugs, but it's an incredible game that is fairly popular for a reason. And this is coming from a person who wasn't too big on gen 3.

[@ryeonspeed]

you know what's ironic? the fact that getting every pokemon in this game to level 100 would be less mind straining than doing the POC

[@iantaakalla8180]

You have to get a team of level 100s to defeat the game, of course grinding every Pokémon in Emerald Kaizo to level 100 is more tolerable than finding every Pokémon in Emerald Kaizo

[@samuelshaw1410]

What about getting every Pokemon to lvl 100 poc style

[@thewanderinggamer1369]

By every do you mean *just* your party, or do you literally mean *every* pokemon? Because the latter is contradicting.

[@agirlinsearchof9057]

@@thewanderinggamer1369 Not necessarily contradictory, even if they did mean all 386 Pokémon in the game. If you put off the evolutions until you get to the Pokémon League (where you can buy Rare Candies for a very low price), you can just spam Rare Candies on everything. Meanwhile, in the Professor Oak challenge, you have to do all the level grinding manually because you have to do every evolution as soon as physically possible.
