I finally made it through the elite 4 \o/
Became champion just before updating to 7.0, now I'll enjoy the postgame with the new version. The playtime is slightly bloated because I have this unhealthy habit of leaving my phone unattended and returning to 20% battery and a hot screen.
The squad:
I wanted to use only beta mons, but beta Bellossom was too cute to pass. It honestly saved me a bit, stalling some of those obnoxious Dragonites to death (I didn't have any ice moves, so that was bad). Slot 6 was a HM slave I didn't take with me.
I really loved this hack, I had the urge to play something with those good old SGB color palettes and it delivered. I did mess around with the hack a bit myself, reverting the type table, adding a custom player sprite and changing some colors, things like that.
Loved the story, only time I got stuck was
Frostpoint town, not like the name would have been a hint or anything.
There is one bug I encountered on 7.0, probably related to the moving of the HP bars. Using a recovery item on a mon plays the animation on the mon below's bar until it's done:
The flickering colors are just side effect of the gif recording.
Absolutely great hack that brought a lot of nostalgic feelings back.
