    I've just beaten the e4 and i must say this was a short but fun game. It has some very pretty graphics, an unique style for a 3rd gen hack. However, there are some issues I would like to point out:

    - you can be hit by any attack while using dig
    - that there is no place to buy tms and evolutionary stones, and very few are given to you throughout the game.
    - the areas where every npc has the same dialogue makes the game feel rushed and unpolished
    - once I saw the game had sidequest I was thrilled, but then I found only 3 more and one was the one that crashes the game. I was expecting more
    - the reason why the champion is the champion makes no sense to me
    - the hall of fame shows wrong pokemon
    But all those things are nothing compared to the fact that I trained a machoke from level 14 to mid 40s, assuming that he evolved by level up or with some kind of stone like in every hack, only to learn that he wouldn't evolve. That was really dissapointing.

    Despite all those issues I enjoyed the game and I thank you for making it.
    Cheers

    Can someone tell me how i'm supposed to evolve kadabra and Magmar? In magmar's case, do I need to find a magamarizer? Can anyone confirm that?

    Hey Vytron, is there any documentation on altered things like stats, ablities and moves? I mean, to be honest, to find out the new ablities is quite funny, like Bunnelby with Huge Power, Natu with Magic Bounce and of course Fennekin with Magic Guard, but it can also be frustrating, like I searched quite a while for a Drifloon with Unburden to find out, there is no Unburden, even though there are even 6th Gen abilites like Gale Wings for Fletchling. The thing is: With altered stats and moves it's probably frustrating most of the time, like Combee having a high Special Attack and then Vespiquen having a high Attack and Speed is pretty unpredictable imo. So it would be really nice to have some sort of documentation on altered things!
    Edit: Oh, I also encountered a bug: When you evolve Combee into Vespiquen, the level gets reseted to level you encountered it!

    Hello, there isn't a documentation for those things.
    Hmm that's a weird bug I have seen something similar in Light Platinum once, but I don't know what could cause it

    So I found this post about this game on reddit and just thought, that the humongous "answer" of ComaOfSouls probably won't be read, I mean, look at the title, so it would be cool to share it here for everyone interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonHallOfFame/comments/dzgbjz/saiph_its_not_gloom_its_samurott/
    PS: It doesn't mean, I share this opinion!

    I'm ComaOfSouls on Reddit, I made a somewhat condensed and loose set of comments earlier in this thread.
    https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=10090416#post10090416

    It seemed to have went unnoticed. No change in opinion since then.
