2''Pokémon Glazed'' is a ROMHack of the US version of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Emerald]]'' created by Lucbui, taking place in the wholly new continent of Tunod, following the adventures of a completely new trainer starting his/her journey ToBeAMaster.
3
4Twelve years ago, you were born in a small town in Tunod region. Today is your birthday and usually, like other kids in the town, you will receive your first Pokémon. It will be your friend forever and protect you. But if you hurry into your journey, you could be in danger. You must have the best preparation before making a journey in Tunod. You don’t know what is ahead of you. As you travel around the Tunod region, you will meet with rivals, wild Pokémon and a new villainous team whose plans will put the world in jeopardy. Are you up to the challenge?
5
6''Pokémon Glazed'' features Pokémon up to Generation V that can be caught and trained, the possibility to explore two new continents, a surprising selection of starters (other than the Gen IV starters — Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup — the player has the option of picking a Shinx or a Riolu), numerous Legendaries and a brand new storyline. It is currently available as a Version 7 Beta, which is pretty much the complete game.
7----
8!!Tropes used in Pokémon Glazed:
9* AbusiveParents: Regina, towards Henri. Not much is seen onscreen, but it's implied that she did push her son toward becoming a Team Fusion grunt.
10* AdventurerArchaeologist: Terry, the Ground-type Gym Leader.
11* AscendedMeme: [[spoiler:Whitney is now a member of the Johto Elite Four]], likely a reference to her [[ThatOneBoss infamy]] in the original games.
12* BigBad: Michael for the Tunod arc, Pius and Regina for the Johto and Rankor arc.
13* BoisterousBruiser: Percy's Cyndaquil, later a Quilava, seems very eager to throw himself into battle. Tanya of the Elite Four and her Dragonite also count.
14* BossOnlyLevel
15** New Island is just an empty complex with "two" bosses at the end: [[spoiler:Mewtwo using an exact clone of your team, followed by Mewtwo itself.]]
16** There is no Elite Four or any other type of challenges to fight the TrueFinalBoss Soul, unless you count the Rankor gyms in of itself.
17* BreakingTheFourthWall: After she is defeated for the last time, Chelle says that she's going to take on the Hoenn League...and teases the PlayerCharacter that he/she won't be able to follow her, since the Hoenn region is not in the game.
18* ChurchMilitant: The Church of Alpha, led by Pius.
19* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Unlike other regions, the Tunod Elite Four are not themed on a particular type of Pokémon. Instead, they use Pokémon who share a certain color scheme (pink for Rosaline, purple for Magnus, orange for Tanya, [[ShapedLikeItself grey for Grey]], and black for Blake).
20* DarkIsNotEvil: Blake, who, despite having a lot of Dark-type Pokémon is a good person.
21* DarkerAndEdgier: Not as much as, say, ''VideoGame/PokemonReborn'' or ''VideoGame/PokemonZetaAndOmicron'', but the storyline is a little darker than the average Pokémon game, and a few swear words are said here and there.
22* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Michael, the Team Fusion leader, uses Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina in his final battle against the player. Tunod champion Blake also uses a Darkrai as his ace Pokémon, and Pius and Regina respectively use Lugia and Ho-oh in their final battle against the player.]]
23* DiscOneNuke: The various 1st-stage [[InfinityMinusOneSword pseudo-legendaries]] can be caught on a preserve just outside the ''first town''. Sure, you still have to progress the game a little further to unlock the preserve, but it's still relatively early.
24* TheDragon: Regina, to Michael. [[spoiler:Until she becomes a DragonAscendant.]]
25* EarlyBirdBoss: The first Tunod gym leader is an electric specialist, and none of your starters have any advantage over him nor do any Pokémon you catch by that point in the game (unless you count resistance via the grass-types, including Turtwig).
26* EldritchLocation: The cave where Palkia is found by Team Fusion, a strange place that bends over on itself so that one finds himself always walking in a circle.
27* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:Pius aids the player and Henri in stopping Team Fusion's conquest of the Bell Tower.]]
28* DroughtLevelOfDoom: If it's your first time in the island and are in need of healing, DON'T go into Alpha Island's Pokémon Center unless you are really prepared. The "nurse" will drop you into a sewer level with a high encounter rate, hidden trainers, and invisible paths. The only way out is to defeat the Gym Guide at the end, since this is actually the gym challenge.
29* TheFundamentalist: [[MeaningfulName Pius]], leader of the Church of Alpha.
30* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Michael, the Red-Scarfed Pikachu.]]
31* HeroicMime: Averted! The protagonist actually speaks a few lines from time to time. Regina even lampshades the fact on one occasion.
32* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: Ex-Rocket Pryce]] in regards to helping Regina.
33* {{Jerkass}}: Thor, the Poison-type leader from Rankor; and Regina.
34* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Chelle. [[spoiler:Being Silver's little sister, it's not hard to see where she got her more abrasive tendencies.]]
35* MirrorMatch: The battle against [[spoiler:Trainer!Mewtwo is a subversion: while he carries the same ‘mons you do at the same levels, his don’t have any moves learned from TMs or HMs, instead only carrying the sets they’d have naturally at that point.]]
36* NintendoHard: This game has a rather steep learning curve, though it's rather tame compared to others.
37* PinkIsFeminine: Rosaline of the Elite Four certainly seems to think so.
38* TheQuietOne: Magnus of the Elite Four. And his [[ScaryScorpions Drapion]] as well.
39* RecursiveFanfiction: ''Pokémon Blazed Glazed'' by Todou is the Lucbui-approved re-make of ''Pokémon Glazed'', which adds more moves, some Pokémon, and evens out the level curve (like mellowing out the EarlyGameHell but also buffing the levels of the late-game to accomodate the wider move variety).
40** There is also a [[{{Continuation}} approved continuation]] of Glazed ran by [=TrainerX493=] that brings the revision to 9.0 as of the latest release. The latest version even has Todou collaborate with [=TrainerX493=] to have the movesets up to date with Generation VIII.
41* TheRival: Percy is the first one you'll meet, but there are also Cato, Chelle, and Tye.
42** A more hostile one is the Red-Scarfed Pikachu.
43* SeriesMascot: Quilava. It replaces the Game Freak logo in the opening. Percy's ace is a Quilava [[spoiler: that doesn't evolve into Typhlosion at any point,]] and Lucbui gifts the player a Level 30 Quilava holding an Everstone after defeating him. Several other Quilava also show up in the overworld.
44* SpeaksFluentAnimal: An item you receive early on in the game allows you to understand what Pokémon are saying.
45* StealthPun: The dojo in Darkwood Town offers training in different stats. The Pokémon they all use are all from the Eevee family. (Think '''E'''ffort '''V'''alues.)
46* TakeThat: A Flareon in one of the game's Pokémon Centers affirms that he's sick of his kind being badmouthed for their stats.
47* ThisIsUnforgivable: The protagonist certainly thinks so when [[spoiler:Regina has her minions set Ilex Forest on fire to flush out Celebi]].
48* ToBeAMaster: Wouldn't be a Pokémon game without this trope.
49* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:Silver's CharacterDevelopment from ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'' happily stuck.]] Also, [[spoiler:Michael and the Red-Scarfed Pikachu]].
50* UnholyMatrimony: Michael and Regina, [[spoiler:at least until Regina divorces him]].
51* VillainousBreakdown: Michael isn't exactly a graceful loser, but it stands out particularly when [[spoiler:the player defeats him in the final battle atop Mt. Stratus, taking down Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina]]. He then slips into temporary insanity when [[spoiler:Mew shows up and begins destroying his labs along with his project to create the ultimate TM. He eventually gets better and decides to turn over a new leaf]].
52* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Flo, the Water-type Gym Leader.
53* WellIntentionedExtremist: Pius sincerely wants to bring salvation to both humans and Pokémon. He's closed-minded and extreme about it, but he's still a sight better than the selfish and power-hungry Regina.
54* WholePlotReference: Team Fusion's scheme during the Johto saga is a rehash of ''Anime/Pokemon2000'', but with Ho-oh instead of Lugia. The three elemental orbs, referring to the three Beasts (who aren't actually involved in the plot) reference [[Anime/Pokemon3 two]] [[Anime/Pokemon4Ever more]] movies and even ''Manga/PokemonAdventures''.
