Hack description

Inspired by Pokemon Emerald: Complete Hoenn Dex Edition, this hack of Pokemon Black and White aims to allow the player to complete the entire Unova Pokedex without trading while making a few slight modifications meant to improve the overall experience.

Overall, this romhack offers:

- The ability to evolve Pokémon that normally can do so through trade without needing to actually trade (check the readme for their new conditions).
- All version exclusive Pokémon being obtainable in only one game (mons exclusive to White Forest have been distributed through Unova's postgame areas in both versions).
- Slighly early encounters for Cubchoo, Shelmet, Durant and Heatmor compared to vanilla Black & White, as well the possibility to get Zorua as soon after beating the first gym.
- The chance to obtain the evolved forms of Mienfoo (Mienshao), Vullaby (Mandibuzz), Rufflet (Braviary), Pawniard (Bisharp), and Deino (Zweilous) in the wild before the postgame, all infamous from having a high evolution level requirement to evolve, not unlike how later Pokémon games from Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon onwards have handled these mons.
- New battle backgrounds/domes ported and tweaked straight out of the game's sequels, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
- Movepool and TM additions added in Black 2 and White 2 for Unova-native Pokémon (ie. Aqua Jet for Beartic, Kling's family & Wild Charge, etc.), as well a few additions for some Pokémon which lose the ability to learn a few moves upon evolving.
- New animated menu icons for every Pokémon when viewed in the Teams menu or the Pokedéx that are heavily based on the sprites they use in Gen 6 & 7.
- Many trainer changes that account for these changes which overall do make the game's main story difficulty slightly more challenging than vanilla Black and White.
- Other miscellaneous tweaks.

Please check the readme for more details on all the changes.

The hack can be patched with XDelta, which can be found here: https://retrohackers.net/utility-details.php?id=598/
