>>53844026Yeah this. The best thing for this sort of project is to sort of supplant any competition.
So it should be a good codebase start alongside being a port. Maybe some "dumber tools" alongside that.
I think having a "authentic"(as in a buggy mess, though obviously not everything is very portable(like graphic/music corruption) nor would you want to like ZZAZZ; and stuff like Hall scrambling is pretty nothing) or fixed.
Similarly I do think having the stuff listed here
>>53844036 would make sense. Except Johto(just leave the way for someone else to do that sorta shit) and gimmicks.
If you're feeling lazy, just implement the baseline for abilities even, like a single "test" ability. Though It'd be cool as a baseline customization feature, I wouldn't really lose too much sleep over it.
Customizing baseline features of gen 1 would be cool, want most of the gen 1 stuff except for hell sleep? Then you can change it in the options.
