>Ethan reverted to original design, and Lyra replaced with Kris
>Mix between Crystal encounter table and HGSS encounter table, e.g. Phanpy added back to Route 46, Sneasel added back to Ice Path, but Mareep is still on Route 32, Remoraid is still on Route 44 etc.
>Friendly rival completely removed from the game
>All extra unnecessary dialogue added in HGSS removed, e.g. Day Care cutscene etc.
>All extra unnecessary handholding/tutorials added in HGSS removed, e.g. Catch tutorial, Old Gent in Cherrygrove etc.
>All extra story added in HGSS removed, e.g. Kimono Girls now only appear in Dance Theater, Sprout Tower is optional again, Ho-Oh/Lugia encounter is completely skippable etc.
>Grass patch added to Route 36 in Crystal is returned and encounters tweaked to match Crystal
>Fixed Goldenrod City and National Park music, let me know if you want any others fixing
>Added back the Goldenrod Dept. Store rooftop
>Made the Battle Frontier fit Johto better, rather than just being a copy-paste of Sinnoh's
>Added back some extra dialogue removed in HGSS, e.g. the graffiti in Celadon City, and the reflections when interacting with windows
>Replaced the Game Corners with the DP ones, Voltorb Flip will still be an option

>Sprite fixes (help me with this one)
