I have an unreleased hack called Pokemon Insurrection, in which the player basically takes on a Kanto region ruled by Team Rocket as a member of the rebel group Team Legend. It was a pretty cool idea, with the character having to search for all the gym leaders in hiding, some pretty cool features, and then one day the whole thing exploded 0.0
Anyway, then I started on Hidden Ties and sort of forgot about it... but it is just so friggin' infuriating when that happens, I know how you feel.
