There’s a really neat tool I found called Universal Pokemon Randomizer. It runs on any US Pokemon rom from Gen1 Red to Gen5 Black2, and completely randomizes the game in a really cool way.

Here’s a list from the site of what it randomizes:

  • The Starter Pokemon choices.
  • The Wild Pokemon you encounter in grass, caves and other places.
  • The Pokemon that Trainers use against you.
  • The base stats which define the potential of each Pokemon.
  • The elemental types of each Pokemon.
  • The abilities of each Pokemon, in games where they exist.
  • The moves that Pokemon learn by gaining levels.
  • The contents of each TM which can be taught to Pokemon to give them additional moves (HM moves are not changed to make sure you can still beat the game)
  • The ability of each Pokemon to learn each TM or HM move.
  • The “static” Pokemon which you either are given, fight on the overworld, or are sold.
  • The names of trainers & the classes they belong in.
  • The moves taught by move tutors, for games within which they are significant enough.

It’s really really cool and I recommend it.
