Pokémon Royal Sapphire is a Heavy Enhancement-Reimagined Version of Pokémon Sapphire, similar to hacks such as Renegade Platinum difficulty wise + quality of life wise, and Gaia for story events.
In a nutshell, I changed the Storyline of Sapphire, while keeping the same nostalgic feel of it by keeping the same Gen 3 Mechanics and General Dex, as well as the Story beats remaining in a similar path, but expanded upon to make you feel as if it was your first time going through Hoenn once again. All maps, encounters, trainers, learnsets, and the general story are changed.The specifics of what parts have been changed are all in the paragraphs below!
