I actually wanted to ask some things, since hearing about behind the scene stuff is kinda fascinating, and it's sorta fun to hear too:
- Were you ever tempted to add in or remove type resists/weaknesses to any type, to maybe make some underappreciated or weaker types better?
And also:
- Was there anything you really wanted to add in to the rom hack but couldn't because of limitations or other stuff?

Nope it's the same as always. The AI just likes sleep moves, so you'll see them used more often and that'll make them feel like they work a lot too.
You can always check the in game Pokedex to see how a mon evolves. If it's not mentioned in the docs it's the same method as the official games.
- I was very tempted to add a Ghost and maybe Dark resistance to Bug (for similar reasons that Psychic is weak to them - bugs don't ever seem to be afraid of things), but ultimately decided I didn't want to change the type chart. Bug might get a type bonus like Dark's Prankster immunity or Poison's never-miss Toxic in future though.
- Yep! I wanted to rip the mega evo sound effect from the 3DS games and use that, but it seems it's broken up into parts in XY and I'm not sure how to put it back together/add it to the decomp. I also wanted a proper numeric input system for the IV/EV sisters (think the box you use to choose quantities in the shop), but couldn't quite figure that out. Will probably try again in future.

It says TM58 is available at the Slateport Market, but it's not there, at least for me. TM49 I believe (vanilla emerald) is also obtainable in the ferry from Slateport to Lilycove, although I'm not sure since it says my inventory is full. Not sure if that's intended. Your document item locations is missing the mind plate, it is indeed in game, but I can't recall where I found it. The Pixie plate falls under "Battle Items" in the bag when all other plates fall under "Items". Berry #55 (Probably Salac) can't be found in game yet I believe.
I saw you mention a possible bug type buff and I had a few ideas. 1. Guaranteeing the secondary effect to activate on bug moves, besides silver wind and steam roller. 2. Built-in bright powder (stacks or not with the item) 3. Hitting an contact move on a bug type could cause an infestation until the defending bug type pokemon dies.

question where would be the best areas to grind levels quickly or is it all just in the grass and stuff due to level scaling?

If you have money to spare, some routes have good rates to find Audino with honey. If you have a Pokemon that's 10+ levels above the ones you want to train, keep it in your party and use training bands to get better rates. If you're within that 5 levels range use lucky eggs instead.

hello, me again, so slight issue about changing the shiny odds, apparently the odds are for If the pokemon will display as shiny, not the actual shiny odds, I was trying to get a shiny starter, and after having to resort to changing the odds to what is effectively 1/1 (65536/65536) after I got my starter I saved, then when I loaded the Rom after changing the odds to what is effectively 1/64 (1024/65536) and my starter was no longer shiny :/ I don't think that's how it's supposed to work.

Yeah it should just say Slateport City for TM58. TM49 needs to be replaced with some other item, though I'll probably just remove the NPC and recycle the flag he uses.
Those would all be a bit too broken I think, it should be something simple.
Hey, that's exactly how it's supposed to work. You can look up the math on bulbapedia or something if you're interested in knowing why.

that's not what I was talking about, I was talking about the fact that the pokemon is no longer shiny when I change back the odds is not how it's supposed to work, the problem with changing the odds is that I have to rebuild the Rom in order for changing the odds to actually do anything.

Yes, I know, and again, that is exactly how it's supposed to work. If you expected your starter to stay shiny after doing that then you don't understand how shinies work, which is why I suggested doing some research.

So, I'm giving this a try, though one detail I wish I hadn't skipped over while reading the original post, as it is unfortunately going to dampen my enjoyment of the hack: I really, REALLY hope more hacks do NOT follow Gen 8's experience example as this one does.
I HATE Gen 8's experience share not because it exists, but because there is no option to turn it off. It completely screws with my head, and completely screws up how I've trained my party for more than two decades of playing Pokemon. I appreciate that this one is weaker than Gen 8's system, but the fact that there is no option to turn it off is greatly disappointing to me.
Outside that however, I *have* been otherwise enjoying this so far, and am currently on my way to Dewford Town.

Because that part is clearly meant for pokémon that are not yet able to be caught in any way.
Not all pokémon are available on their mid/final stages, just catch the Trapinch and you should quickly be able to evolve it.

To clarify, whether or not a pokemon is shiny is determined by a calculation using your trainers secret ID and the pokemons personality ID, the former of which you cannot see without cheats, the latter of which is determined by the pokemons nature and IVs. Changing that line in the code doesn't do anything but change the number of potential PIDs that match your SID for a shiny. Maxing them makes all PIDs result in shiny, for example. This is why you cannot abuse this to get a one time shiny, as it does not change the PIDs, just what PIDs result in shiny. So if you change it back, the PID no longer results in a shiny for you, thus it reverts.
There is another line of code you can modify to get your desired result I found while testing the yet to be implemented shiny charm, but I'm not able to go digging for it currently, however that might set you on the right course.
