    Wow, what a great hack.

    Dreamaker updated the ModExe and ROM Base, so...

    More difficulties!
    Damage Range (You will always get the lowest rolls, while your opponent will always get the highest rolls.)

    And

    More facilities!
    Fly from Kanto to Sevii Islands (Unlock Fly from Kanto to Sevii Islands.)

    I know where it is in the ROM, but I think ASM only Dreamaker has it, ask him!
    Discord:
    "Dreamaker"#2210

    Thanks so much for the reply! Any chance you can point me to them in the ROM please? I tried messaging him on Discord but it wouldn't let me since we don't share a server
