The nicknames. Of all the things that had to get borked.
I have a backup, and I'm currently doing some more research and preparations for several backups, before I attempt using suspicious tools, Unzip, or adding small patches of grass to cities until the very end. I'm not using Hopeless trainer editor, it may be defective.

Priorities:
- Change every trainer's team. The optional battles will have minimal changes.
- Switch undesirable moves in learnsets.
- Change Wild Pokemon, so that all 386 can be caught.
- Extraordinarily minimal map changes. The mandatory trainer battles will be the highlight of Emerald Kaizo.
- Add overworld Legendaries; there is not enough Trading NPCs to simply trade legendaries, or swap with Voltorbs and Electrodes and Sudowoodo.

Ideal changes
-Switch Wallace's Champion Sprite with Steven's Sprite, and switch another trainer's sprite with Wallace. All because of the eyecatch.
- Add Courtney Sprite. Either swapping a sprite or inserting, because Gamefreak removed Courtney from Emerald.
-Insert Wild Pokemon in towns, which will make nuzlocking more possible to complete. Yes, the game I have in mind will be absolutely merciless in terms of battles and boss fights, so some pretty high nuzlocke mortality rates will be expected.

Playtesting will be extensive, thanks to the rivals. I need to fight them, 5 times, because of their teams. Joy. I guess that is why the rival is not seen after Mossdeep.
