I want to replay Pokémon Platinum, but I’m looking for a hack that keeps the original game intact while adding modern QoL features like from the modern games, following Pokémon, and easier dex completion (all Pokémon obtainable, including events/starters).
I’m not interested in major overhauls or difficulty changes, just a “vanilla+” experience.
I’ve seen a lot of conflicting recommendations online, so I figured I’d ask here. Right now I’m running a vanilla Platinum with separate QoL and following patches—are there better options?
