This is a great version of Platnium. Faster battles, tons of encounters, and new battles and scenarios that mostly feel good. Some feel kinda stupid, like Aaron literally just shows up and challenges you with his dumb strong team out of nowhere. The game in general is way way WAY harder than base game.

If you play this normally you will have a decent time. If you try to Nuzlocke this game you will be miserable. I have probably reset at least 50 times at this point, I either wipe out totally and lose or I just got too many mons killed to crits. You basically need to reroll for Shell Armor on Turtwig for the run to go well.

Theres a ton of work put into this and it's solid and really cool. It's frustrating in the fun way, but it can feel punishing if you arent playing normally. I'd still recommend overall.

A very strong rom hack. The fact that you can get every Pokémon available is such a good thing! It was pretty difficult but not too much, it does a great job at finding the right difficulty. I also really liked all the new events, making all the roads used throughout the game or just giving the possibility to catch Ice types way earlier than usual. The speed up patch made the game so fun too!
I played the classic version, might try the complete one someday, but I definitely think it makes Platinum way better than it already was!
