Hack Nintendo DS

Pokémon Renegade Platinum

ポケットモンスター プラチナ

Drayano's enhancement hack of Pokémon Platinum: all 493 Pokémon obtainable, tougher trainers and bosses, and no trade-only evolutions.

What it is

Renegade Platinum is Drayano's take on Pokémon Platinum, in the same spirit as his Sacred Gold & Storm Silver and Blaze Black & Volt White. The story runs as in the original, but nearly everything you fight and catch has been reworked.

What's changed

  • Every Pokémon from Bulbasaur to Arceus can be obtained, most of them before the first visit to the Elite Four; wild encounters were redone everywhere, and new events cover starters and legendaries
  • The Pokédex shows the new wild locations
  • All trainers have new teams on a new level curve, with harder Gym Leaders and other boss fights
  • Optional buffs to weaker Pokémon, plus changes to moves, items and in-game trades
  • No more trade-only evolutions, a higher shiny rate, faster gameplay and other quality-of-life fixes

Two editions

The Classic edition leaves out the Pokémon changes that give them types, stats or abilities they don't have in the official games (up to Generation 7); the main edition includes them.

Playing it

Patch your own copy of Pokémon Platinum, following Drayano's instructions and documents in his release thread. Made by Drayano.
