For a joke hack, it's alright. It's inoffensive, though I think the bit could have been sold much better. The main premise can best be summarized as a Jupiter/Mars yuri fanfic that isn't trying to be too much else. Most NPC dialogue was just pronoun swaps, and often times the dialogue didn't really match the actual trainer class, the most stand out example being a trainer on 222 that was switched from a Sailor but still referred to herself as such. A few trainers still used male Pokemon, especially in rematches, and there were a few he/him pronouns that got missed in the script for optional NPCs. The blockades on different routes could have used a bit more grace, and some better documentation on where items got moved would be extremely helpful. Aside from that, I thought the premise was funny, and it's a great hack if you're trying to shiny hunt female starters for whatever reason. The main issue I had was with how the difficulty was handled. The first route coming out swinging with level 15's was not something I expected, and while I personally enjoyed the unfairness of the challenge, it's extremely sloppy in execution and quickly devolves into a grindfest unless you want to take advantage of the always on 999 Rare Candies code baked into the hack. I can understand if it was put there for brevity, but what confuses me is how every single other aspect just makes the hack seem like it was trying to be unfair. Your Pokemon options are limited, the grinding NPC in Solaceon was removed, you can't access the Lucky Egg to my knowledge, and EV gain is entirely disabled barring vitamins for some reason, making actual grinding completely meaningless. It's not very fun, especially when a hard level cap is enforced and every single enemy hits much, much harder than you do. The built-in cheats against the level curve just seem like a half measure between trying to be completely unfair on purpose and trying to make it so the hack is over quickly, and the result is just kind of a confused mess. The hack compensates you well enough for the resources in other parts of the region, including granting you a Hoenn starter in Sandgem instead of Oreburgh. If I had to recommend any changes, it would be better to just move the NPC from Oreburgh's center to Sandgem's instead of having Dawn give it to you. The item dump and cutscene leading up to it makes it kind of a pain for anyone looking to shiny hunt it. To close out, I'm just gonna echo one of the comments and say that this really didn't need to be built off the difficulty of RenPlat. It doesn't really serve any purpose besides making the hack just a bit too cumbersome for the premise and execution. Though, it can be a pretty fun time for those who enjoy the unfairness, and it's cute for what it is.

Sadly my campaign has ended at Cynthia since the locks up and goes quiet whether I'm on ndsbootstrap on my DSi or 3DS, melonDS, R4iMenu, or DesMuMe. I wrote also a review
