What it does to a run

A faithful D/P remake, so the D/P route and level curve mostly carry over.
The Grand Underground adds species D/P never offered this early.
Exp. Share is forced on, and the Elite Four rematch runs EV-trained teams with held items.

Where runs die

Roark, if you picked Chimchar
Fantina
