A tool for generating a random, progression-viable party of six Pokémon for use in a playthrough. Pokémon availability and game progression are respected in the final output, and customization options are available to curate the output further.
TeamGen generates (prescribes) a party for use in a playthrough — either to introduce an element of challenge or simply for team inspiration. The tool is universal in the sense that it maintains compatibility with most generations of Pokémon, but also with romhacks that might contain the following (as long as the relevant game data files are added):
- New Pokémon
- New locations
- Changes to existing game data (location data, evolution methods, etc.)
- Vanilla
- Pokémon Red
- Pokémon Blue
- Romhacks
