>>47158213Having some Rocket events to break up the monotony of challenging Gyms would help the game immensely. It gets pretty repetitive, although I think by now there are enough extra events and new dungeons that the game sort of gets away with it.
>>47158388This is the real problem with the hack. I'd be totally fine with Shockslayer including himself and his friends as bonus bosses scattered throughout the game, but making him and his buddies the E4, with their weird imbalanced teams and unfitting music tracks, is just lame. It's even worse that he made himself the Champion AND the hardest boss in the game. Even Red (one of the coolest moments in the franchise) was relegated to basically some unimportant fight in the middle of the endgame, to make room for the mighty Shockslayer and his *two* rematches.
The NPC color palettes are pretty shit, too. I'm not about to flip a tit because I saw a black guy in a Pokemon game, but the fact that they're randomly distributed, in the region that is the *most clearly* Japanese, is extremely jarring.
