This rom hack fixes 99% of my problems with Johto.

Even with the difficulty increased, the gameplay is much more fun and the unbalanced level curve no longer exists. This was the first time I managed to finish the Kanto post-game, because in HGSS, Kanto gave me a lifeless feeling, it was so boring that I never had the desire to beat Red. But in this hack rom, Kanto feels so much smooth and I managed to beat it in one day. (Thanks to Alakazam, this man carries the whole game)

One of the best points in this hack is the vast early Pokémon accessibility. In the first routes, I managed to encounter Pokémon that I have never used in my life, like Houndoom that only had a chance of appearing in Kanto in HGSS (Why gamefreak?)

Even with Giovanni’s appearance in the main line, the story still feels very monotonous and the Team Rocket QG is so boring. Overall, it’s the best way to fully experience the Gen 2 games and I recommend this ROM to everyone!
