Hi there, this is my first post on the forum.
I've been working on my first ROM hack for a couple of weeks now. I'm trying to make a relatively simple hack in which the player is given random pokemon and must face a series of consecutive battles + a gym leader. After beating the gym leader, the player is given more random pokemon and must face more battles, etc. It's meant to be a cross between battle factory and a regular pokemon game and ideally it would feel like playing a roguelike. There's no storyline, wild pokemon encounters, world map or anything like that, just a bunch of consecutive battles.
I have a few features I'd like to implement:
I've been trying to use Leon's Rom Base + DPE/CFRU, and while it has the pokemon I want, the physical/special split, and lots of other nice features, it also has a bunch of stuff I don't care about (Dynamax, Z-moves, etc). I also have basically no coding experience and very little understanding of how CFRU works. I had a go at removing the 510 cap on EVs, which seemed like it would be a relatively simple change, but was not successful. I'm pretty sure adding the EXP share and level caps are way beyond my capabilities at this stage. Basically, it feels like CFRU might be excessive for my relatively simple plan, and it doesn't feel very beginner-friendly to me.
I was wondering if there are any alternative Rom Bases, tools, or shortcuts that already have the features I'm looking for? This would be super helpful for me. I'm open to anything as long as it's relatively beginner friendly.
Or should I just stick with CFRU? If I should stay with CFRU, are there any resources out there that would help me set up a Gen 6 EXP share or level caps that you would recommend?
Thanks in advance!

I have a few features I'd like to implement:
- Up to Gen 4 or 5 pokemon, movesets, abilities, etc.
- Physical/Special split
- Adding some way to allow pokemon to level up and get EVs quickly (Gen 6 EXP share? Or maybe just modifying EXP yields?)
- Adding a level cap (or some way to prevent the player from over leveling)
- Making EVs have a greater effect on stats (maybe increasing the cap beyond 252?)
