Red's starterr-w7002019-08-21Version 1.0

The hack's pretty cool. It would be good if Red chose the starter weaker to the one you choose to fit in with the games

Not bad.villain2019-08-20Version 1.0

Pretty cool hack, if a bit simplistic. Everything seems to work all right, no apparent issues, and several things are swapped (your house, who heals you at the start, who gives you the map, et cetera) as you'd expect. Not sure what the other reviewer was complaining about seeing as how your rival is SUPPOSED to pick the starter that has the advantage over yours, not the other way around, so they're clearly mistaken.
