>>21193658Okay, so, the path to the Sootopolis clone is exactly the same as in RSE so I'm not even going to go over that.
Apparently Royal Darkness ARE good guys even though they constantly attacked me throughout the game.
Entei was blocking my path and I battled it; after save scumming a thousand or so Ultra Ball tosses, I just killed it.
Get to Sootopolis clone (they didn't even change the layout), Ash and my brother are hanging around, I go into the cave, catch Groudon.
I leave the cave, and THEN the cutscene involving Ash and my brother plays with their invisible sprites. That's a common thing, easily avoidable scripts.
Going to the 8th Gym now.
