 It's an excuse to play Gen 1 Pokémon again—one of my favorites to play—but with a little extra challenge. All Pokémon are stuck at level 5, which means they can't evolve or learn new moves. It seems like a fun idea, but a few small oversights on the part of the hack developer allow players to break the game—most importantly, the Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee in Saffron that you can acquire are level 30. You'll also be faced off against an overlooked Raticate right before Vermilion, and Brock's high defense Pokémon were enough of an early-game wall that I decided to perform a Brock skip rather than face him as intended. I left this one unfinished, but a few fixes could make this challenge more "enforced"—nerfed Hitmons and a few glitch-preventing boulders would do the trick.
