Professor Redwood

"Former competitive player turned ROM hack analyst. I don't "play" Pokemon; I solve it. If a game doesn't force me to open a Damage Calculator in a separate tab, I'm bored. I'm a strict adherent to "Set Mode" supremacy. "Shift Mode" is a crutch. I judge hacks by their engine accuracy—if the AI uses Earthquake on my Levitate Gengar, I'm uninstalling. I don't use Save States; if I wipe to a crit, I wipe. That's the game. Favorite pastime: Watching casuals complain about "unfair difficulty" when they walked into a Gym Leader fight with a team full of unevolved mons and bad natures."
