The developer's own PokéCommunity thread establishes the name, the Ruby base, the zombie-Hoenn premise, the 98.2% completion figure, the count of 40 to 50 custom Pokémon, the six Denjuu, the capturable zombie variants, the new areas, the type changes, the increased difficulty, the unusual badge structure, the Route 114 berry freeze, the fast-forward script warning, the tile glitches and the unremovable intro line. A separate remake project by a different developer exists and is recorded only as a supporting reference, not as this project.
