>>24770112Anon I played the hack in question and it's NOT handled well. It comes out of nowhere, you don't actually meet the old player character outside one of the non-canon bonus battles (there's a place where you can fight time holograms or some shit and the player character is one of them, he has a Level 100 Dark Lugia, other ones include major boss fights from the first two games like the fedora edgelord in Reign of Legends and the Giratina+Jagold boss fight in Rescue Rangers).
You just go to Gento if you choose (I think the voyage is optional and I don't even remember any Legendaries to catch there, though Celebi is there because Celebi randomly pops in and out in the entire trilogy), and everything is destroyed, all the buildings are unenterable, most of the Pokémon ran away, and every single NPC has pic related as its dialogue with the occasional one actually explaining what's going on, said going on being that you went batshit insane and destroyed everything(one mentions you killed the professor as well). They don't even explain where you in the first game went after you destroyed everything.
Like fuck, at least the Rescue Rangers cameo was neutral and consisted of pretty much "I saw a PIkachu, Chikorita, and Torchic travelling together, they were cute!"
