About this hack

In Pokémon Pitch Black every encounter and trainer mon has been turned into the Marowak Ghost and you have to defeat each mon in combat to find out what it is, turning every battle into a game of Who's That Pokemon?

Randomization

This hack is supposed to be played Randomized so that its actually a challenge to figure out what every Pokémon is, and nuzlocking it is also encouraged. However, this hack requires the usage of a special fork of the UPR designed to work with it since it is a decomp hack. You have to download this separately Hackdex cannot randomize your ROM file for you unfortunately. It can be downloaded on the Team Aqua Google Drive. You might need a different version of the JDK then you already have, Java Development Kit, to run this. It should be easy to download though.

PSA: I should also note that optimal randomizer settings are to leave out moves, abilities, stats, etc. Because randomizing that stuff takes away from the game of Who's That Pokemon. Also, the "randomize Tms" button is broken on this version.
