Description
Pokemon The Pit is Inspired by Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, this hack brings the Pit of 100 Trials concept to Pokémon translating it into a challenging gauntlet of 100 floors.
You begin with 3 random Pokémon and face trainers with random teams, scaling in level from 1 to 100 as you ascend. There are both Singles and Doubles modes, and in Extra Random mode, moves, abilities, and learnsets are also randomized.
As you progress, the number of trainers per floor increases, with up to four trainers by the final floors. Every 5th floor features a Heal/Shop where you can restock items, and every 10th floor includes a Move Tutor. On every 25th floor, you get the chance to add a new random Pokémon to your team. After clearing a floor, you’ll receive one to three random item drops before advancing to the next challenge.
If you do end up beating the trainer on floor 100, you can continue to push your limits and see how far you can go. Future balance updates and new features may be added based on community feedback. Be sure to join the Discord to discuss the hack and share your experiences!
