QoL shit: reuse repels, reuse TMs, forget HMs, auto-HM use, additional bag pockets, see EVs and IVs, red HP bar only dings once, etc
Good original music
boss trainers have interesting or funny builds, like Keksandra's flowre in Clover. doesn't have to be some smogon set, just something different that makes you adjust your play (in this case, using a mon with taunt)
level cap, so you can never get overleveled and ruin the game for yourself
>dislikeguaranteed shinies, defeats the whole purpose of shinies and they're usually ugly
references to real life (dev self-inserts, 4th wall breaks, dated references, stuff like
>>57606176, etc)
random route trainers have EV trained full teams (ace trainers/victory road/unique trainers are fine)
It's a GB/GBA/DS hack but includes Gen 12 Pokemon from the literallywho region
It's a hack that uses the original Pokedex but adds OC donut steel forms (please stop)
Cliched shitmon buffs like giving Ledian +100 attack

Mimicking Game Freak in bad ways: no, you don't need every route to be 90% pidgey and rattata and every mon's movepool to be 90% normal type just because that's what the original games were, if I wanted to suffer this I'd play the original game
>don't carebuilt-in Nuzlocke mode: i will never use this even when doing a nuzlocke because if it bugs I'm fucked over, so why bother
Shiny hunting/shiny chains/whatever: autism
