Light platinum is the most overrated rom hacks I’ve ever play. Even though it came out in like 2009 when Rom Hacks were limited, but it still not not deserve to be universally praised as it was then, even though it has been mostly forgotten about by now.
> Used Ruby as a base instead of emerald or fire red, so it uses ruby’s ugly ass font
> Gyms on par with SwSh, 8th gym has a Kingdra with Bubble. One of the bosses in the final postgame tournament even has a electrike
> Literally every trainer has level up learnsets, most gyms have random ai
> Gen 4 and 5 mons didn’t translate well with a lack of split, only gen 3 abilities, and mostly gen 3 moves.
> Random characters from other games shoehorned in for no reason
> generic chosen one story, even though I did hear the story was better in the original Portuguese version
> Copy pasted NPC’s with the same dialouge
> You get a lot of free gift mons like Growlithe, Elekid, Zorura, and statics like Snorlax early on, not to mention a lot of free stuff early on like tm flamethrower and focus punch before gym 2.
Was hailed as the greatest hack ever at the time, but it clearly didn’t stand the test of time. I’d rather play BDSP over this garbage.
