Pokemon Diamond: Hard Version

[D3FAULT]

Hello, been a while since I posted here!

Anyway, I stopped playing Pokemon competitively a long time ago, but I was recently bored and decided to play the game all over again. I just dreaded it because it's so easy. (and the crappy story, but I can't do anything about that right now) But I like the game overall, so I planned on doing it anyway.

Then I ran into some applications used to edit Pokemon D/P data. Using said applications, I was able to do several things to make the game more interesting, and difficult!

First of all I changed the starters. I chose my favorite starters of all time from each type.
Instead of Chimchar, it's Cyndaquil.
Instead of Turtwig, it's Treecko.
Instead of Piplup, it's Squirtle.

Then I changed the levels of major people you fight to make it harder. Your Rival, the GYM Leaders, and the Elite 4.

I'm enjoying it more so far, and I may do more advance changes later to make it more interesting/fun/difficult when I have time. (such as which Pokemon they all use, and what moves they have. maybe an exact counter to what my current party is. >:P)

Nintendo should make it where you can make it more difficult if you want. I like it a lot more this way.

Someone is working on remaking Gold with GBA graphics. It's partway done.

And yes it's possible, but it would require TONS of time and TONS of hacking knowledge. I'm using simple applications to do this stuff. Doing that would require so much more than anything I could do. :x

Would you consider the upcoming Platinum version to be a harder version of Diamond and Pearl?

Probably not...the game will probably be extended slightly.
I hope Platinum haves a lot more features than Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.
If their going to make a remake, make the gameplay better or at least different in some ways.

I hope the person whose making a Gold remake is successful.
Its my favorite Pokemon game and one of my top 5 of all time.

I thought it was only illegal if you talked about where to get the ROMs, or in this case, the editing codes. And it's not necessarily pointless, it's basically a topic about how freaking easy the DS Pokemons are. I think.
