I’ve played a few ROM hacks before, mainly Drayano hacks + Inclement Emerald + Liquid Crystal

I never play these games with a calculator & team list next to me, I just go in blind and I usually get by fine with just a standard 6 Pokémon

However this game is NO JOKE, I’m still playing nearly blind but it forces you to maintain a pool of like 12+ Pokémon to swap in & out and it’s actually a lot of fun, I wish more hacks were designed this way

Also I’m only familiar with Pokémon Gen 1-7 so I feel like that makes it even trickier

I just reached the Pokémon Mansion right now please feel free to leave any comments, tips, criticisms or advice

Also, is there a better method for quickly grinding levels besides dropping 10k at the EV guy in Lavender town each time?

Nobody ever tells you that when you start doing better for yourself, and even long after you make the change, everything sucks & is difficult. I feel like a lot of people assume that once you start doing what you’re supposed to do & taking steps to elevate it’s supposed to become easier & life is supposed to feel like a sunny day. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

In reality, when you decide to abandon your old detrimental lifestyle & change the company you keep, everything starts to feel foreign and you almost don’t recognize yourself. However I’ve learned that that’s exactly when you grab your nuts & double down and really cling onto the vision you have of what you want you & your life to become.

It doesn’t get easier, you just become tougher.

It’s not as scary as it sounds though, this kind of pressure is exactly what forges great men who can carry all their loved ones on their back
