Technical Details & Specifications

  1. The Opening Sequence: The script is rewritten. Instead of being welcomed by Professor Elm, you wake up in a dark alley in Cherrygrove City. A sign reads: "No strangers allowed. Leave by dawn."
  2. Shopkeepers Refuse You: In standard hacks, difficulty is increased through higher-level Pokémon. In Xenophobia, the difficulty is social. Poké Mart clerks will not sell you Potions or Poké Balls unless you have a Johto-native Pokémon as your lead. If you start with a Kanto starter (Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur), you are locked out of essential supplies for the first three gyms.
  3. The "Fear" Status Effect: A new invisible status effect is permanently attached to the player sprite. It halves the catch rate of all wild Pokémon, because wild Pokémon "sense your foreign nature." Your own Pokémon have a random chance to disobey you not due to badges, but due to a hidden "Trust" stat that resets every time you enter a new town.
