It was like playing the game again for the first time but a lot easier. All new cards, all new trainers, multicolored decks, new legendary cards.
I don't know if I was incredibly lucky/unlucky or if the AI sucks. The trainers seem to play cards at random, the grand masters didn't even play properly. The fire girl got all the legendary Ho-ohs on the bench as a meat shield to build random pokemons that were weak to my deck, didn't even set a single fire energy, when the Ho-ohs would have destroyed me. And this goes for all the gym leaders and grand masters, they were all underwhelmingly easy.
Outside of that, awesome romhack, I'm still playing it to get all the cards, as I did on the original game.

i don't like that there are no metal or darkness energy (Scizor had grass attacks), and having played with the real cards when they came out (for example making baby pokemon completely worthless, borifying or removing some pokemon powers, changing pokemon powers into old powers from the first gen like neo slowking) i would have preferred them without balance tweaks. A lot of changes had me scratch my head, because they made those cards less interesting to play with. Some of my favorite combo cards are a far cry from the original versions. But i take any chance to play with jhoto cards in some form. I appreciate how it has a lot more sets then i envisioned, that must have taken a lot of time to program.
Difficulty was almost nonexistent. My Thyplosion starterdeck with fire and psychic wreaked havoc on everything without changing much, especially when i got the fire psychic shining mewtwo. But the original game wasn't that hard either. Some weird AI decisions (bugs?)
