This repo's Kaizo Hub has full trainer, route and dex data for Platinum-based runs.
What it does to a run
- Wider regional dex than D/P and a faster engine — the definitive Sinnoh run.
- Fantina moves to the third gym, which changes the early curve.
- The Distortion World and the Battle Frontier are Platinum-only.
Where runs die
- Fantina's Mismagius
- Volkner
- Cynthia — still the hardest champion in the series
