is it me or does the balancing in ROM hacks suck ass? I feel like almost all of them are either
>early gen remake with new pokes throw in with no care for pokemon's power creep so every trainer is a cake walk
>just as easy as a real pokemon game
or the fucking worst which is
>'le challenge' rom hacks where every trainer has max IVs max EVs and all running choice items, life orbs and leftovers
It's so hard to find a rom hack that is challenging that doesn't just rely on the player wasting 30 mins EV training to not get 1 shot by the bs trainers. A part of me wishes pokemon had a more standard RPG levelling system so I can pick stats on level up so I don't have to commit a genocide on lvl 8 pokes that happen to drop the EVs I need before each gym. And IVs are just fucking stupid RNG that feels really punishing when it comes to shit like the kaizo hacks
