Version 9 is going to greatly change the way this game is played. Much like how the yugioh ban list works, I will have to observe what's OP and being spammed over and, and then I'll make the hard mode with the needed buffs/nerfs.
Also, the decision was made to remove that little punishment from version 8 that I snuck in. It's up to YOU if you want to cross save between difficulties, but be warned that they will be TWO DIFFERENT GAMES, so doing so can be hazardous to your save file.
I'm still checking for text typos now that I can FINALLY fix them without bugs. And I also have to check for certain SPCs due to the new Galaxy Star and Celebi nerfs.
