Hey there! I didn't originally plan to sign up on here, but since I played your hack, enjoyed it, and wanted to give my thoughts on it, I figured I might as well.
It was overall a good experience! The story was interesting and the dialogues were definitely well-written, I'd even say it's one of the stronger points of this hack.
As previously said, the twist is pretty easy to figure out early on but it's not necessarily a bad thing; instead, if you do figure it out early on, it makes you wanna know even more about how and why that happened.

Gameplay-wise, I wasn't too bothered by the lack of Manual Mode. However, I did feel like there was something wrong with the wild pokemon's spawn rate (at some point I got stuck battling an army of pokemon for like 2 minutes in a hallway, on a floor that wasn't even that small) and the monotype, lengthy dungeons sometimes make for a painful experience, especially when it's just you and your partner (it was really not fun being a Riolu in the poison and bug dungeons). And yes, speeding up the process of making drinks at Spinda's Café would have been nice too.
Despite my misgivings, I still really liked it, so thanks for making this hack!
