Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Level Scaling

Off: Encounters use vanilla game levels. By Spheres: Levels are scaled by access sphere. Areas reachable in later spheres will have higher levels. By Spheres and Distance: Levels are scaled by access spheres as well as distance from Pallet Town, measured by number of internal region connections. This is a much more severe curving of levels and may lead to much less variation in levels found in a particular map. However, it may make the higher door shuffle settings significantly more bearable, as these options more often result in a smaller number of larger access spheres. Auto: Scales by Spheres if Door Shuffle is off or on Simple, otherwise scales by Spheres and Distance
