HOW TO USE

If you don't have the required Randomizer ZX program and Java yet, download them here.

Setting strings are a convenient way to share Randomizer settings with other people. By using these setting strings, you'll ensure that you get the exact same Randomizer settings as everyone else. This helps make sure that your ROM(s) are properly setup and randomized to fit the IronMon ruleset.

KAIZO DOUBLES RULES

Kaizo doubles is a fun variant of Kaizo Ironmon where every battle is a doubles battle (2v2). These rules are still a work in progress, so check back often for updates.

  1. Double Battles only! All trainer battles possible are doubles battles (2v2). Thus, if either of your two Pokémon faint it's game over and the run ends.
  2. You may pivot twice per route instead of once.
  3. Both of your Pokémon must be different. If evolving a Pokémon results in having two of the same, that's allowed and bypasses this rule.
  4. If a move is shared between both your Pokémon, you cannot use that move at all for either of them.
    • For example, if both Pokémon have Water Spout, then neither Pokémon can use the move Water Spout until one of them forgets it.
  5. The move Dark Void is banned for double battles.
  6. Randomizer Settings Changes
    • Standardize EXP Curves to: Medium Slow
    • Trainer Pokémon: Double Battle Mode (enabled)
    • Additional Pokémon for: Important Trainers +1, Regular Trainers +1, (Keep Boss Trainers +3)

RED / BLUE / YELLOW

Rules updates for Standard & up

  1. It is recommended that you play Pokémon Yellow instead of Red or Blue. The main reason for this is that Brock is a bit easier in Yellow, but future gyms will be a bit tougher. This is ensures an appropriate level of difficulty.
  2. You are allowed to buy one Fresh Water but only to give it to the guard to enter Saffron City. You cannot use it for healing.
  3. If you randomly get a drink item to get into Saffron City earlier, you may do so but with some restrictions:
    • You may collect items and fight non-story related trainers
    • You may NOT buy a drink to replace the item you turned in
    • You may NOT skip Rock Tunnel or otherwise enter Rocket Game Corner, Lavender Town, Celadon Gym
  4. The randomizer setting for "Force Change" an evolution is disabled. This is to add a bit more variety in evos, and to stop Dratini from directly evolving into Dragonite.
  5. Unlike other Pokémon games, Gen 1 does not have a fluctuating exp curve option. As such, two separate randomizer settings files and "randomizations" are required to produce a proper Ironmon game. The main reason this is necessary is to prevent your Pokémon from evolving into legendary Pokémon.
  6. For more details on rules updates for Gen 1 Kaizo, please see the associated PasteBin

Rules updates for Kaizo & up

  1. All Pokémon greater than 480 BST are banned. This includes: Dragonite, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mew, and Mewtwo.
  2. The following moves are banned: Wrap, Bind, Fire Spin, and Clamp
  3. Allowed glitches: Bide errors, Counter glitches, Hyper Beam + Freeze/Sleep, Invulnerability glitch, Substitute + Confusion glitch, Evolution stone bypassing

Rules updates for Survival

  1. New rule "Evolutionary Stone Favors" replaces existing rule "Flute Favors"
    • As there are no flutes, you can instead collect and trade in the five evo stones: Fire, Water, Thunder, Leaf, and Moon
  2. New rule "HM 01, Buddy Has Fun" replaces "Cut a Move, Hold Any Item"
    • As there are no held items, teaching Cut to your main Pokémon allows you to use your HM friend to compensate.
    • In a Gym or Elite 4, while outside of battle, you may swap your HM friend to your lead party slot before going into battle.
    • This affords you a free turn of item usage, no restrictions. After using the item, simply throw Pokéballs until your HM friend faints, or manually swap back to your main Pokémon.
    • If you employ this strat, you must swap your HM friend to something caught in route 1 to minimize its level.
    • Once your HM friend faints in this manner, you cannot revive it until you spend one of your Pokécenter heals.
  3. If your Pokémon has 351 BST or lower AND it's still capable of an evolution, then the following moves are legal for it to use: Wrap, Bind, Fire Spin, Clamp.
  4. Allowed glitches: Toxic counter glitches - with Leech Seed or Rest

Settings Strings

NOTE: To properly randomize Gen 1 games for Ironmon, you must do one of the following. This is necessary to prevent Pokémon from evolving into legendaries.

  • Use the Pseudo-Fluctuating Growth patch for your game ROM + the settings string from PART 1.
    1. Pseduo-Fluctuating for Pokémon Red: (Download)
    2. Pseduo-Fluctuating for Pokémon Blue: (Download)
    3. Pseduo-Fluctuating for Pokémon Yellow: (Download)
  • Use two separate setting strings and apply them in the correct order: PART 1 first, then PART 2.
    1. First load your original Pokémon game ROM and a setting string from the PART 1 section below. Then randomize.
    2. Next, load the ROM from step 1 and the setting string from the PART 2 section. Then randomize.
    3. You must perform both of these steps each time you want to randomize a new Ironmon game.

GOLD / SILVER / CRYSTAL

General rules

  1. To win Ironmon you must defeat Red at the top of Mt. Silver.

Rules updates for Standard & up

  1. The setting "Keep Field Move TMs" must be abled. The TM "Rock Smash" is treated as a HM move because of this.

Rules updates for Kaizo & up

  1. Berry trees are off limits. You cannot get berries from trees.
  2. Kaizo/Survival should use a 60% level boost to Foe and Wild Pokemon instead of 50%. The Randomizer program has a hard limit of 50%, thus a workaround is required to reach 60%:
    1. First load the vanilla ROM (or patched ROM) and apply this settings string:
    321AAgEAQSbAJ4AmAAEAAEeRAABFAAAFABABAABAAAAAAAAAAAAuAS4AQAICTIGAwAyAAIAF1Bva2Vtb24gQ3J5c3RhbCAoVSAxLjEpGiDUV+PDOIo=

    3. Load the "Source ROM" from step 2 into the randomizer, then load the Kaizo or Survival string below
    4. Randomize (Save). You're ready to play.

Rules updates for Survival

  1. New rule "Evolutionary Stone Favors" replaces existing rule "Flute Favors"
    • As there are no flutes, you can instead collect and trade in 5 unqiue evo stones from among: Fire, Water, Thunder, Leaf, Sun, and Moon

Settings Strings

NOTE: To properly randomize Pokémon Crystal for Ironmon, you must first apply the pseudo-fluctuating growth patch. This is necessary to prevent Pokémon from evolving into legendaries. As for Gold and Silver, there is no patch available (yet), and these setting strings may not work completely.

  2. You are allowed to change to game's time for events that occur on specific days within the game.

DIAMOND / PEARL / PLATINUM

General rules

  1. You are allowed to change to game's time for events that occur on specific days within the game.

Rules updates for Kaizo & Survival

  1. Stay in your weight class - This rule updated to the following: You may only catch a Pokémon that is up to 4 levels higher than your current Pokémon's level. While this rule update technically is for all games, it's most notable here because of early game fishing pivots. For example, if your current Pokemon is lv 11, you cannot catch the lv 23 fishing mon; you could if you were lv 19 however.
  2. Berry trees are off limits. You cannot get berries from trees.

  1. Connecting Cave is not a dungeon.
  2. Both parts of Lost Hotel make up a single dungeon; you can't heal inbetween until you decide to fully leave.
  3. All parts of Victory Road (inside and out) are considered a single dungeon. Once you step foot in the cave, you cannot leave until you reach the Pokémon League.
    • Kaizo players can't use the healing NPC near the rival battle.

Rules updates for Kaizo & Survival

  1. No using 601+ BST Pokémon. Megas/Pseudos under this limit are allowed. Legendaries are still banned per normal Ironmon rules.
  2. The abilities Parental Bond, Huge Power, and Pure Power are banned except for Pokémon with BST 450 or lower.
  3. Banned abilities on your starter Pokémon can be used for the first two mandatory fights (in XY: the initial Rival fight and the first Youngster).
    • For Survival: Due to pivot limitations, healing at the PC doesn't count against you until you fight the second Trainer

Settings Strings

NOTE: There is a bug with v4.6.0 of the Randomizer: You need to manually turn on two settings. Click "Starters, Statics & Trades", then enable the "Randomize Starter Held Items" and "Ban Bad Items" underneath it.

Every time you load settings, you will always have to manually re-apply these two settings. They simply do not load properly.
