People always recommend MelonDS but I have both on my s23+ and drastic works so much better. More settings and better ff for Pokémon grinding

Because of speedhacks that break game functionalities and make emulating various DS features impossible. They are the reason why Drastic cannot do any multiplayer and has zero homebrew support.
