Alright I'm back, just wanna say AGAIN how cool this is. And I reread the initial post and finally clocked that this isn't a difficulty hack
Anyways, the report: 1, I love the fairy type moves, but I had a heartbreaking realization that the miltank I'd been raising had their refresh replaced with an attacking fairy move, rendering them useless as a cleric LOL. Which is fine, but I did have to go back and re-add the move manually idk the meta of the game, but it might be better to only replace moves of the same utility.
2, there's one (1) dialogue from the archen that breaks in a weird place. Didn't write down which one, sadly.
3, the game hard crashes if you try to sort storage by "swap". But nobody does this, so who really cares.
4, when recruiting the shiny unown, it breaks the recruiting checklist for every other unown (all names turn yellow). I wonder if there's a way to hijack the unown system to blue-name the shiny/regional versions of enemies? Since by default they share the same capture status.
5, it would be such a pain, but the new starters... really need some exclusive items. As it is, they're significantly debuffed compared to the og starters because of that (just beat the volcano with a grass type using their item)
Other than that, since finding that auspicious amber tear so early on, I've made it my goal to collect. Them. All. I'm at 500+ pokemon total, with 10 unique shinies and a handful of the token legendaries the game gives you. (I find it very funny how much higher leveled the shinies are than the legendaries). I started on a spreadsheet of info on all the new pokemon because of this, I'll share the link when I'm done if you're interested. Afaik there's nothing like this yet lol
