Universal Pokemon Randomizer Tutorial Greetings! This is a written tutorial for anyone who would like to learn how I use the Universal

For this tutorial, I will provide pictures for Generation 2 games, and simply list the settings for
Generations 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow), 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald), 4 (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum), and 5 (Black/White 1 & 2). The first thing you want to look at when Randomizing a ROM file is in the top left of the window, as shown below:
The main option here you need to check is removing trade evolutions, which does exactly as it says it does. If a Pokemon would
