And here I was going to suggest getting a new topic myself... after we reach 2001 posts, thereby topping the first Ask a Simple Question thread.
Anyway, continuing from the last thread: Any insights? Maybe I should just ask around on GitP as Prime suggested, or just throw hesitation and preparation to the wind and go ahead. Y'know, like an anime character.
FIRST!
Continuing the conversation, in the mod, are the characters from Touhou given original stats to mimic their cannon, or are they just replacement sprites for actual Pokemon? In the latter case, I can provide solid strategies for the FR/LG setting (unless there are major changes to the trainers/gym leaders).
There are pretty major changes. Even in earlier versions, the characters had stats to suit their canon abilities, or at least their perception (the Little Girl of Mass Destruction had mean mixed sweeper stats, for example, and the literal fusion reactor on legs had a 160 base SpA). Now, there's that, and the type chart has been altered a lot, replacing whole types, plus here's apparently some changes in items (I'm not sure how extensive those are, though).
The trainers are, if there haven't been any major changes from the version I've been playing until now, just like in FRLG - i.e. pushovers if you're not behind the curve. The leaders, on the other hand, have been given significant boosts - again, if the older version is anything to go by. It shouldn't be so bad that I'll basically have to level grind and EV-train to survive, though.
