I’m playing the following following platinum rom hack, so its been fun having my Pokémon follow me around.

Just beat the elite four so now I’m probably wrapping up my time with the game, and will eventually move on to gen 5 (I’m playing through each gen moving through the regions, I’ve not really played any modern games so I’m looking forward to trying them :)

Hey, I was researching my options for gen 5 and found this very helpful thread (though I don’t know that it’s entirely complete):

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/

and this option from the thread, which is compatible with following platinum if you wanted quality of life, plus your pokemon following you :) (frankly I really wish I had played this instead 😅)

and following platinum https://pokehacking.com/fangames/following-platinum/

I think I was mistaken that renegade is compatible with following platinum, here’s it’s page if you’re interested in something that makes more changes and adjusts the difficulty curve :)

Nice! Yeah I don’t mind a modest difficulty increase but some of the romhacks really don’t play well without super optimized teams of competitive mons

Yeah thats very fair. My impression is that Draynos hacks are usually not brutal, but there’s no version that doesn’t patch difficulty so if you like the challenges you either play with higher difficulty or you pick a different patch

I want more vanilla+, so I’m usually a tad bummed about that, but people regard his hacks really highly, even if theyre less what I’m looking for :)

I hope you find the right one for you! ☺️
