Great concept, sloppy executionjbsq2021-01-17Version 1.1

This hack could be great as a QoL & hard-mode crystal hack. However, it needs some polish. Some of the flaws I can speak of are

  • Normal and fighting moves hitting ghost Pokémon
  • Electric moves affecting Quilava despite its ground typing
  • Scyther is supposed to evolve into Scizor at level 34 if its defense is greater than its attack (which is not realistically happening)
  • Pikachu is supposed to have a chance of holding a light ball, yet after 100+ Pikachu's caught I got nothing more than a handful of berries (to be fair it could just be me getting really unlucky)
  • The difficulty is supposed to be generally upped, but the only difference I found is gym leaders and bosses fights to be 3-5 levels above their vanilla counterparts. Add the existence of some broken Pokémon alongside weak wild Pokémon and weak regular trainers, and you get a pretty unbalanced hack

All in all, I do like the concept behind this hack and think it has potential. I'd love to see this become a Pyrite-ish hack with QoL improvements and mechanics such as the already implemented PSS.
