>>26802686After working with romhacking for years, essentials gives you a lot of freedom. It was really frustrating being restricted so much. Aside from a little bit of lag in an area or two, Essentials has worked excellently. I would love to play the game on mobile though.
>>26802739I was never too good with romhacking, the whole data limitation was a little overwhelming honestly. I remember once I went over the limit god knows where, probably dialogue or something, and one of my Gym Leaders was stuck with a level 98 Hypno and the game was literally unbeatable, not even kidding.
>>26802761I've been adding more and more rain removal tiles but it seems to be getting stuck, I'll just throw some more all over the place, because I like the rain gimmick but don't want to remove it.
As for the rival battle, I've fixed it. If you don't want to battle him again, just walk over the tile you beat him first on.
In the new update I've added some new areas, circled on the map. So those are open for testing as well. I've jury-rigged a new route on mapfags original, and I plan on adding another, to give incentive for going back to older locations, like some people were saying.
