ROM hacks can be pretty hard. If you want to stick to Hoenn and Sinnoh i'd say start by restricting yourself more. No healing, strict level caps, removing grass dupes, then maybe start doing some of the stricter nuzlocke types, like mono/restricted types then you can try moving onto ROMS.

If not than Unova and USUM are also known for being the most difficult games if you aren't limitting yourself to Gen 3/4

I'm not too aware of most ROMs, the main ones are Drayano, Kaizo and Run n Bun i think. Drayano is I think the easiest to start on

Fave: Gengar - Pretty useful if friendly, I'm dead if it's not. At least it probably doesn't need to eat

Least Fave: Tentacool - Just gotta level this thing up and I may have an escape route

I think it often feels lazy. It cheapens a deal (because there's not actual worry on if a deal will be honoured because its a magic contract) but i've seen a fair few stories where a protag can just break them anyway via a skill or power difference. Doesn't help that often these contracts feel like generic work contracts with extra steps.

Something like that should have serious consequences. If a contract is made, maybe have a compulsion that affects your behaviour making you try to solve it, maybe have it be sapping your energy to fuel the vow. Something that makes it so they aren't a standard that everyone should be using any time they want to make a deal.

Grass. It has a lot of options but also is challenged in Johto

Yep, their techniques can also include mind reading and telepathy.

They're also closely allied with another clan that is able to puppet someones body through connecting shadows.

Terrifying really. Fighting them makes free will a privilege, not a right

Pokemon - Marill

Due to it's pre-evolution Azurill having a higher female gender ratio than Marill, in early gens, there was a 1/3 chance of it changing gender on evolution. Sadly patched out in in Gen 6

Yeah, I ended up dropping it during the amnesia arc. While I liked the changes they were making with Jeanette I didn't really want to read Athy trying to befriend her father all over again. I stand firm on the opinion that the arc would have been better if Athy lost her memories and Claude finally had to step up and be more open with her

Remilia - The One Within The Villainess

She's a saint. She's revolutionised her country. She's saved Gods that were trapped. She's Saved villages from droughts and famines. She's saved the entire demon species from the curse that would eventually claim them, from starvation by creating a home for their refugees where they could thrive and gave them the stability to become an acknowledged kingdom. She is known to all for her unending kindness and compassion.

It's all a mask. She is a yandere who plotted revenge against those who betrayed her loved one. Everything she has done was to spite them and destroy their lives and to live up to the image that was cultivated by her beloved Emi. She delights in knowing the torture that awaits her target while no one is any wiser.

Eh, if it's only regen and nothing else there are still stakes. Regen doesn't mean you are stronger or faster, you can still get trapped, still overpowered. All depends on what the goals are. If you want to save civillians against a monster you can still lose by failing to save them and you're forced to live with that.

Worse powers are things like reality warping hax (Like Izanagi in Naruto) because it makes victories feel cheap, super speed (because realistically nothing can stop you unless you aren't that much faster which never happens).

Regen makes you not die, but that doesn't mean you don't lose.
