Pokemon The Pit is a high-replayability, roguelite-style Pokémon ROM hack built around one brutally addictive idea: a 100-floor gauntlet where every run starts fresh. You begin with three random Pokémon, fight up through floors that scale from Level 1 → Level 100, and adapt your team and item choices as the Pit gets nastier.
A Pokémon dungeon gauntlet where your run is never the same twice.
Most Pokémon ROM hacks are “new regions” or “new story.” The Pit is different: it’s built like a roguelite challenge mode. You’re not chasing badges — you’re trying to survive. Every floor throws new trainers, new teams, and new pressure. If you love Nuzlocke-style tension, randomizer chaos, or tactical team-building under stress, this is one of the most bingeable hacks you can add to RomHaven.
100 floors, scaling levels: enemy levels rise as you descend/advance through the Pit, creating a clean difficulty curve from early-game scrapping to late-game “one mistake = wipe” battles.
Random team-building: you begin with three random Pokémon, then adapt as you go. Team-building becomes the real game: type coverage, pivots, status, priority, and item management matter way more than grinding.
Milestone floors: at key floors you’ll get breathing room — like healing and shop opportunities — which creates a roguelite rhythm: push → recover → push harder.
