Outside of Japan, its graphics, game engine and script formed the basis of Pokémon Red and Blue, while the wild Pokémon and game-exclusive Pokémon lists were changed to match Red and Green.

There will be a default of 9 active gem sockets available from standard items, 2 from each item in hand (4 for a 2-handed item), 2 from body armors, 1 from helms, gloves and boots. Specific rings, amulets and unique items will still add additional sockets or gems to the new skill gem menu. Active gems can have up to 5 support gem sockets based on the gems item level with available sockets linked by default. A new gem class, currently called meta gems, will allow both active and support gems to be socketed on them, curse on hit and cast on crit support gems would be changed to these meta gems. Jeweler and Chromatic orbs will now be used on active/meta gems to customize the available support sockets and fusing orbs will be removed from the game
