>most of the dex is usable>battles are actually challenging>broken strategies that are fun to play with (WG sprucifix and sketch tentaquil for example)>fakemons make the game refreshing so you don't have to use the same gen 1/2/3/4 starter on your playthrough>game gives you good items if you explore (first route master gives you THREE focus sashes)>items aren't used in important battles so you can strategize how you want>infinite tms and deletable hms mean you can change movesets to your liking>genuinely good map design>ice types are actually good and you can find them early oni had more fun playing this gen 3 shitpost than the last 3 gens of pokemon. once you look past the 4chan meme humor and shit story, it's the best rom hack there is.
