>>56518381>I'm kind of shocked that nobody has made a "fixed" version of Johto that addresses common complaints like the level curve, but still maintains a mostly a vanilla experienceBecause most people who complain about Johto don't really want any of its alleged issues fixed, its all just concern trolling, they want an easy scapegoat to bitch about not a any real solution.
SmithPlays is one of the few people criticism Johto from the point of view of trying to improve it rather than just bitch about nothing, and his Crystal Legacy hack is mostly vanilla but increases levels, adds level scaling, and adds more encounters. But it also adds some story changes that might stray from what you want.
