It took me many years of avoiding this game due to lack of accessibility or disinterest since the community praise was always kinda suffocating. When Dryano released this hack I thought it was the right time to give it a chance, and with the following mechanic and the fps cap gone even on original hardware it was almost perfect.

With the release of Brilliant Diamond and Shinning Pearl the discourse that Renegade Platinum was the best way to experience Sinnoh got even louder, it was now or never. And the weren't wrong.
Renegade is THE Pokemon game to play on this day and age. It is hard but gives all the tools to make it fun. Competitive items, improved stats for each pokemon until Sinnoh, fairy type, new methods of evolution for trade pokemon, new events, new teams for all npcs, new randomized teams for elite 4, smarter AI, less HMs needed to progress and THE BIGGEST improvement of them all: An npc to train, evs, ivs and experience.

Truly an fun, challenging game indeed. If you were kinda let down with the current stage of the franchise, PLEASE play Renegade, it will make you fall in love with pokemon all over again.
