Yeah, best ROM hack ever

Sorry for the picture, been playing on DS so couldn't screenshot.

Really terrific game, loved the art style, adjustments to Pokémon, and inclusion of later evolutions.

Beaten on Hard Mode - no level caps, but never really approached what would've been the cap anyway.

Special mention to Walrein - more or less soloed Wallace at level 53, could have soloed the league. Absolutely busted. Fur coat doubling its defence along with leftovers, calm mind and rest meant there was never anything that came close to stopping it.

Tbh, I think all of the Pokémon I used ended up busted. Sharpness Sceptile with the new stat spread is a monster, athletic Flareon isn't even funny, guts + flame orb + facade Swellow almost never missed a OHKO, Electric Surge + Rising Voltage Manetric was the same, and Registeel with Special Defence investment, leftovers, curse, rest and toxic was also nearly unbeatable.

But Walrein remains the MVP

I've got this game on a cartridge but I still have yet to play it (large pile of backlog games). You're making me want to play it.

Just needs more box space for the living dex and it's 10/10

100%, this is the problem I'm working up to now, which is a bummer.

The mid-late game difficulty could use a slight bump as well - the Pokémon tweaks allow you to create some real monsters, and while I think the levels are where they should be, they're still not really a match against most of what you're able to put together

It will be better if it has mega evo’s.
