Info

What happens when you take (almost) every move and ability from gen 1 to 7, add some new ones to the mix, and then cram them into just 386 Pokémon? You get a level of meta diversity the main games could only dream of. Over half the abilities are signature abilities, and moves are no different! You can catch all your favorites here, and you'll find them stronger and more defined than ever before.

List of features

Dizzy Egg's/Chacha Dinosaur's emerald battle engine: most moves, many items, and all types, Phys/spec split, abilities, capture xp, and all abilities (especially the cool ones) up to generation 7 are in the game
The palette has been made more vibrant All routes have been remodeled, some islands have been added in the sea, victory road is completely new and exciting, and 5 new (fully optional) routes have been added: a canyon, a haunted house, an extension to route 119's river, a snowy mountain, and a mine.
Fly to routes
Use Nature Power as a replacement for all of Strength, Rock Smash, Cut, Surf, Waterfall, and Dive, or just use the old HMs as usual
Evolve your team into all their later generation evolutions
Evolve trade Evos that require items by just leveling them up while holding that item, and evolve all other trade Evos at lv36 (or evolve Gengar by happiness at night)
Reuse TMs and move tutors as much as you want
The shiny rate doubled to match later generations
Run indoors, Delete all HMs, Use the updated repel system, Access all the secret base items,
A few storyline rewrites (the Magma Base is now an enjoyable little sneaking mission where you have to avoid getting seen. )
An ability switcher in Mauville
An egg hatcher in verdanturf
An IV checker and perfecter in the Battle Frontier (with the option to give you 0 base speed of course)
An EV checker that can reduce all EVs to 0 by converting them into EV items. 15 EVs make one EV item. e.g a mon with 37 HP Evs would give you 2 HP UPs.
The Hoenn dex mode has been fully reordered to roughly match the order in which mons can be obtained!
New typings
New Learnsets for every Pokémon! Listed in the file "learnset_table" in the folder the patch comes in
New abilities for every Pokémon! Listed in a doc called "New abilities, base stats, and evolution info" in the folder the patch comes in
417 pokémon are available, all of which have been tinkered, polished, dusted off, and enhanced. All of them are really cool to use, and I've tried them all. Highlights include:
New difficulty curve! All wild encounters are at roughly the level your team should be at, so switching Pokémon in and out is really easy and rewarding. XP yields are slightly lower early on to compensate for this, which means Nuzlockes are hopefully relatively more challenging than usual.
New Trainer fights for many trainers (and all the important characters) especially later in the game.
New TMs
New move tutors
New items
New battle engine, moves, and abilities
