However Intense Mode goes above and beyond with shit like illegal EV distribution in the later game and even making mons Mega while also still giving them an item that ISN'T a Mega stone. I think the current final boss has two Megas like that too alongside a Genesect, illegal EVs, and a bullshit signature move.
So in other words on one hand I feel like I've made a mistake but on the other I'm hyped. And the story being reportedly shit only piques my interest further.
