What is this?​

This was my (U.Flame) entry for Anthroyd’s fourth Make A Great Map contest, winning 1st place. Like Naillevaihcam in a previous contest, this game also clinched the top spot. Make A Great Map is akin to a Game Jam where creators craft a complete, single map within 30 days. While unrelated, both games share placeholder sprites due to time constraints. The theme was Gym Interior, and I chose the gimmick: “Teleport must play a key role.” No spoilers, but it’s a hint about the game’s focus. Despite not expecting to surpass Naillevaihcam, I was driven by an idea, working intensely for a month. The result is a short yet fully realized game. Updates only include bug fixes and cleanup; no new content will be added. The goal is to showcase what I have accomplished in a month. Speedrunning to the credits might be quicker than Naillevaihcam, but exploring all content could make it thrice as long. There’s plenty of optional content; the game ends when you decide. Enjoy the experience!

Story

Welcome to Pokemon Magical Altering Gym Menagerie! Or MAGM for short. This is a yet-to-be-approved-by-the-Pokémon-League Gym challenge that should test your wits and your skills! The goal of this Gym is to collect 8 pins to earn the right to challenge the Gym Leader, Sothoth. Note that while there are more than 8 pins available, it is not mandatory to collect them all. I highly encourage you to talk to Sothoth whenever you’re unsure of what to do next. She has a lot of helpful and contextual dialogue and will comment on many, many different things from your progress and accomplishments to hints on what you need to do next. Just keep in mind the waiver you sign when you get started, MAGM inc. is not responsible for injuries, displacement, lost items, persons, dimensions, or sudden dimensional implosions.

Features

As this hack utilizes Skeli’s Dynamic Pokémon Expansion and Complete FireRed Upgrade, you can expect many of it’s included features by default, such as:

  • Pokémon, moves, abilities, and various battle mechanics from later generations
  • Customized battle-ready Pokémon in both your starting Party as well as the PC
  • Improved AI
  • Ability pop-ups
  • Trainers with EVs
  • Fairy type
  • And more!

Unbound Cloud Compatible​

I’m excited to announce that Magical Altering Gym Menagerie (MAGM) is now compatible with Unbound Cloud! Unbound Cloud is an online storage service developed by Skeli, the creator of Pokemon Unbound, tailored to work with specific ROM hacks, including MAGM. With Unbound Cloud, you can securely store your Pokemon across compatible games and save files, enabling features like trading via GTS and Wonder Trading.

Do you dream of bringing your MAGM team to other adventures? Or perhaps tackling the Gym challenge with your own customized team? Now it’s possible! MAGM supports 898 Pokemon, from Bulbasaur to Calyrex, along with all their forms. While Hisuian Pokemon aren’t currently compatible, I’m considering adding support for them and future Pokemon. It’s important to note that the player’s starting Pokemon and opponent teams remain fixed and won’t change with updates.

Compatible browsers for Unbound Cloud include Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera, with mobile compatibility in progress. Although this feature has been ready since version 1.0, you’ll need to be on version 1.2 or later (if there’s an update) due to site requirements. The only in-game requirement is that your save file must have interacted with the PC at least once. For those curious about the technical details, they’re provided below.

How It Works: The Teleport Gimmick​

I recommend reading this part only after discovering how to properly use Teleport, OR if you’re still stuck even after talking to Sothoth.
