Beginner Rule Set - entropiccode/Fixed-Order-Randomizer-Catch-Em-All GitHub Wiki

This is a very simplified version of the rule set, intended for those without a lot of experience in Pokemon games or who want a very laid back, more catch-focused experience.

The Battle Mode restriction is lifted in this Rule Set, and there are no restrictions placed on Catch Orders. The randomizer settings used focus on randomization of Pokemon and Items, with none of the difficulty increasing settings enabled. Given that difficulty is not a concern in this rule set, TMs are randomized to provide further variety between runs.
