Hi! First, I want to say this is an awesome hack. Probably the best I played (alongside Nameless Fire Red). I beaten the game twice. Here are some of my observations.
IA / Rivals teams problems:
- The IA is so weak and stupid against Sleep. I cheesed a lot of fight thanks to Spore + Swords Dance Breelom.
- Enemy teams are incredebly weak to hazards, specially Sticky Web (My Ribombee nicknamed Misha was the MVP in my Hall of Fame). No Gym Leader / Boss use Defog or Rapid Spin, so stacking hazards is a good (and easy) way to beaten them.
- Weather is broken as hell. You can easely win 70% of the fights with Pelipper + Power-Up Punch Swampert-M or Torkoal + Growth Venusaur.
Bugs / Glitches:
- Several minisprites of VIII mons are "floating" or setting to "high".
- Few back sprites of VIII mons have that a gap, like Silicobra. Darumaka-G and Koffing-G are some of them.
- Pokedex seen and captured mons doesn't refresh correctly. I complete National dex (missing only those legendary that we can't obtain) and the game still says that I captured only 780 mons.
- In raid battles, if your partner mon faint, and in the same turn the D-Max enemy Pokemon attack you twice, its ability can be "activated" (it
will show -----------. No effect occurs, obviously.)
- There was a strange situation were I dinamaxed Ethan's Raikou. Only happen once, but that was strange.
- One time I battle a Raid only with one mon (Moltres). In the selection screen, accidentally selected change items and the game give the item to a
glitch mon (was a minor thing, Moltres still holds its item and the battle continued normally.
- A particular thing in the Koga battle is that sometimes (very rare), Greninja wont attack. Was consistent when I switched to Gardevoir. (Greninja
don't use any attack in that turn, so was a free switch). I tested the battle two more times. Greninja attack other mons, but when Gardevoir come in it will skip his turn.
- You can still use Waterfall. Goldeen and Seaking can still learn it.
- You can give TM as a hold item. TM51+ have this problem.
Some wishes from my part:
- Can you give Lilligant some new moves? Or a better ability or new typing (Grass/Fairy probably). Outside of Apple Acid, Lilligant gain NOTHING from this game. Give her more moves. Her only coverage is HP Fire / Rock...
- Please give Toxapex Recover again. It was a so unfair nerf. I know Pex can be a b*tch sometimes, but c'mon, other mons get Legendary moves and
buff. Toxapex NEEDS Recover.
- New moves from tutors: Outrage, Sludge Wave and Heal Bell.
- Outrage (Lorelei's Dracovish can use Outrage, but regular Vish can't learn it normally. Salamence also is missing this move.)
- Sludge Wave (Nidoking and Nidoqueen are stuck with Sludge Bomb...)
- Heal Bell (Umbreon and Vaporeon can't go Cleric without that move)
- A "Competitive Items shop" would be a incredibly good adition (probably after or just before the E4). I have like 300+ competetive mons (31 IVs, 510 EVs, level 100) but only 4 Leftovers, 2 Life Orbs, 4 Choice Band/Specs/Scarf, 1 Assault Vest...
- A shop that sells EV Wings. Getting those from Raid is obnoxius. I think Cinnabar would be a good spot.
- More EV training items (Power Bracer, Power Anklet, etc.) to acelerate the process of training 6 mons at the same time whitout trade items.
