This is a Rom hack of the Ironémon challenge created by Iateyourpie. An Ironémon is a set of self-imposed rules designed to make the pokemon games more challenging. This ROM hack enforces certain rules into the game itself. The ROM hack takes a few liberties, for the original ruleset see Original Ironmon rules

Rule | Details | Notes | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Game Over |
Once all Pokemon have fainted your adventure ends. Back to your mother you go, ready to start your career all over again! | Although your journey may have restarted. Your attempts are recorded as well as your playtime. Each retry re-randomizes everything! | |||
1 Pokemon |
Only one pokemon allowed in the party. If you catch a new pokemon, it automatically swaps! | There is no way to utilize the PC whatsoever. You can only pivot via catching a pokemon. | |||
No Free Healthcare 😰😱☠ |
You heard that right! No more free heals, no more free treatment! Pokemon Centers now cost cash to heal. | Each usage increases the cost. Other heals such as beds and your mother, and even bag items outside of battle no longer work~ | |||
Oops Its All Random! |
Everything is randomized! Wild Encounters, Trainer's party, Evolutions, TM/HMs you can learn, Stat Spread, Abilities and more... | Evolutions will always pick a pokemon of a similar type, and overall stats that are higher. Special trainers will have specific parties that they randomly choose Pokemon from. Stat spreads retain original BST. | |||
Catch 1 Per Area |
You can only catch one Pokemon per area. An area is where you have met in the game. This can be routes and caves. | Pokemon scale to the level of the current pokemon in the party. Repels always work. | |||
HM Slavery Abolished |
No need for HM slaves, once you have the badge you can use the HM. | Hehe, only HMs required to complete the game. Fly and Flash aren't included...some caves are automatically lit. | |||
Strong, Independent, Pokemon 📢🔊 |
Strong Pokemon will disobey you, and obey when they feel like it. | Pokemon 580 BST and higher will begin disobeying. Each Pokemon disobeys according to its BST, the higher the more chance it will disobey. | |||
No EXP Grinding 🧭 |
Wild encounters no longer give experience points. Only trainers! | VS seeker also no longer works, therefore you can only fight trainers once! |
