Rom hack idea for HGSS

    I'd want something more akin to the original games. Some things I'd like to see:

    - Completely remove Lyra/Ethan in the story. I find them annoying.

    - remove the pokeathlon and give the player other ways to obtain elemental stones. Maybe make the frequency of gift NPC's that give you stones higher. It feels like they made it a lot harder to get elemental stones from phonecalls compared to the remakes.

    - Give Red his Espeon back

    - Don't force the player to catch the box legendary. Remove the Kimono girls storyline completely.

    - NPC's don't automatically try to give you their phone number

    - phone numbers can be deleted

    - Daycare gives you an egg like in the OG gen 2

    Optional:

    These are things I would like that weren't in the original game, but imo should be in all pokemon rom hacks

    - Can delete HM's. No need for the move deleter

    - Just have the gym leaders give you their phone number. No need to find out where they are at different times

    - Instant text

    - Infinite TM's

    - Repel prompts


    Gen 4 is already a slow game and although I like the improved battle mechanics and larger variety in mon's compared to the original gen 2 games, it still felt like a lot of filler was added into HGSS. Any new features that were added into HGSS that I didn't mention could stay. Such as the new Safari Zone and Gym Leader/Elite 4 rematches.
