Woops! As I said, anyone who tries be sure to backup your saves, but for me, i don't think i'll be coming back to this anytime soon and evolving the starters is a closure/kind of tying a bow on the ending for me, so bricking the save really doesn't matter to me at all. And, apologies! I am not sure how to contact you really, this is my first time using this forum and i didn't see anything like an email or discord link on the post. Was not aware you can message people on here, but with the disclaimers, i will edit the post. I think the information is still valuable for some in the same boat as I am.
BTW, Thank you for all of the time and effort you've put into this as well, EOS is one of my all time favorite games but i always struggled trying to replay it due to how easy the vanilla game is. Difficult with level scaling was perfect for me, until post-dialga maybe, the dungeons where a lot of the pokemon get to attack twice really did a number on me. Still, made it through just fine and really enjoyed my time with it! Linked nasty plot + full room damage move FTW.
