Description

I am NOT an experienced hacker, but this has been something I’ve had in the works for about 2 years, off and on. So, basically, everyone knows about how easy X/Y are, and while there are “challenge hacks” of X/Y, I personally wanted to find a more ‘rebalanced/fixed’ version of the games that makes the games harder, without the brutal difficulty said challenge hacks are known for; basically something closer to say Platinum or B2/W2 Challenge Mode (or BD/SP without the baked-in Exp. Share and affection).

Turns out, those types of hacks aren’t as common; the closest I could find was an abandoned hack and many theory-crafting videos/threads. So, I decided to make a light hack of my own essentially “fixing” the major boss battles, as well as a few minor stuff. In short, this is a small and light “fixed/adjusted difficulty” hack of X/Y; the game is meant to be harder, but it’s not a “challenge hack” in the traditional sense.

The summary of the major changes can be found in the Google Drive, but in short, most major battles have been changed either slightly or significantly (with either new Pokémon, better movesets, and/or held items. Higher IVs as well). A decent handful of minor trainer battles have gotten minor buffs as well (many trainers with only 1-2 Pokémon have received 1-2 more, especially in the Gyms and Victory Road). All the patterns of Vivillon can also be found in the wild.

Features

-Most major battles have been changed either slightly or significantly (with either new Pokémon, better movesets, and/or held items. Higher IVs as well).
-A decent handful of minor trainer battles have gotten minor buffs as well (many trainers with only 1-2 Pokémon have received 1-2 more, especially in the Gyms and Victory Road
-Starting with Ramos, every Gym Leader uses a Mega Evolution in their Gym Battle. The Elite Four now use Megas as well.

Notes

-The game still isn’t designed to keep the Exp. Share on in mind. You may be underleveled if you don’t use it at all, but leaving it on WILL make you very overleveled. I didn’t want to give the game a huge level curve to balance out X/Y’s non-scaling Exp. system. I recommend toggling it on and off when needed. (You could also apply level limits)
-The game still uses mechanics from Gen 6. I considered adding in Gen 7 onward mechanics (move changes, stat changes, ability changes, etc.), but ultimately decided against it.
-The Battle Chateau is weird, and I haven’t really tested out the Gym Leader/E4/Champion battles there. I only just recently learned how the Chateau handles movesets as the levels go up and it’s dumb. Essentially, applying Writs increases the levels of the trainers’ Pokemon, and the movesets are changed to whatever the 4 most recent level-up moves are; that’s why, for example, Diantha’s Gardevoir might have Heal Pulse in one Writ.
