Gen 5 is easily one of my favorite generations of the games. I also like difficulty hacks to spice things up a bit, but I’ve never quite jived with the Drayano-style hacks where all the pokemon are so different from what I used to. So I decided to make a hack that I would like to see, and hopefully some of you will enjoy it as well.
