>>45628265its my pleasure but forgot to say that in FRLG xD and Emerald there is no special physical split which fucked me over because often i wanna use pokemons that get fucked by that old system and you have to use tm that you probably dont have to make them good also use pksm if you play on a homebrewed 3ds so you can change your trade evopokemon i its evolution if you plan to play with a tradeevo line and you dont have a second 3ds and if you play on emulator use pkhex for that
also xD over colluseom is because xD has way to many Qol changes that make it not such a slog but the story is a little bit weaker but still stronger than most mainlinegames
also maybe trow ranger 2 after platinum because it is good
why ranger before platinum because of the manaphy egg so you can pick panflam as firestarter
for romhacks there are always the kazio and the tryhard ones that want difficulty maxed out but i picked my games more on enjoyment and adventure instead of hardcore strategy and ev train so you can finish the campain
for emerald the postgame battle frontier is a must because this iteration of it only is in emerald and when you are really serious look up a guide for it you only need like 5 pokemons to get all 7 symbols
it is just a shame that the later gens expect 4 only have a "battle tower" and no special dungeon and rulesets like in gen 3 and 4 as postgame facility because i love to trade up my mons and have fun in the postgame with them
for XY please just do the one and only post game locker missions it is literally the best story content of these games
