"Pokémon: XY Natural" is a fan-made, unofficial ROM hack developed using the engine of the original "Pokémon Red/Blue".
The highlight of this revamped version is the seamless integration of the core elements of "Pokémon X/Y" into the original gameplay. Players can encounter Kalos-generation Pokémon in the Kanto region, including Fairy-type and some Mega Evolution forms. The move pool, numerical balance, and AI have all been remade, and the battle rhythm is closer to modern works. The wild distribution and gym lineups have been redesigned to provide more capture and strategic choices. Players can experience the classic 8-gym challenge while experiencing the sixth-generation skill system and brand-new tactics, bringing a refreshing challenge to veteran players familiar with the original map.
"Pokémon: XY Natural" takes into account both the nostalgia of veteran players and the gameplay depth of the new generation: the addition of the Fairy type has changed the original battle structure, and Mega Evolution brings new tactical possibilities. The game's balance is excellent, and the wild Pokémon distribution is reasonable, allowing you to constantly discover surprises during the exploration process. For players who like the classic pixel style and want to try modern mechanisms, this is a perfect cross-experience.
In "Pokémon: XY Natural" the introduction of the Fairy type has a huge impact on battle strategy. Facing teams centered on Dragon-types, Fairy-type Pokémon like Sylveon and Florges can easily suppress them, so it is recommended to prioritize capturing Pokémon with Fairy-type moves early on. Mega Evolution is another highlight of this game: after obtaining the Mega Stone, specific Pokémon can temporarily increase their stats and abilities in battle, such as Mega Charizard X gaining Dragon-type attributes and stronger physical attack. Since the gym leaders' lineups have been updated and the AI has been improved, you should prepare a wide range of attribute combinations before challenging them, and carry moves that can cope with Fairy and Steel types. During wild exploration, some Kalos-series Pokémon only appear during specific time periods or weather conditions, so it is recommended to pay more attention to the in-game time and area prompts. In the later stages of the battle, it is recommended to make good use of speed control skills and abnormal status, and coordinate with the explosive power of Mega Evolution to quickly end the battle. By reasonably planning your team and capture strategy, you can fully experience the tactical fun of the sixth generation on the Kanto map.
