This is my first playthrough with most of these games, so I'm tending to pick stuff thats very vanilla+ or just focused on quality of life, to cut down on some of the tedium and frustration that Pokémon often comes with

I'm not sure if I've maybe played one of his hacks so far, but I wish he had patches that didn't make the difficulty changes and stuff if I don't want them, I think he usually hasn't had that as an option

I still need to sit down and investigate what if any ROM hacks I might wanna pick for gen 5, his will be one I take a look at. Plus I need to go double check which games I was gonna play, I think I was planning black and white 2, but have to go look stuff up and ask my friend who's a huge Pokémon nerd her thoughts

(I nearly broke my run with a cheat to give myself max TMs at the end cause I think the game is better when you can play with designing your team- the cheat overwrote all of my HMs without me realizing, and I deleted waterfall off my Pokémon who knew it. Off the top of her head she was just like "oh seaking learns it by level up at 40 if that helps", I was so glad I mentioned to her I might have fucked myself over completely on a whim while texting lol. So I have a seaking named escalator now 😌)
