Would /vp/ be interested in an ORAS romhack that focuses mainly on balancing the entire roster so that each fully evolved mon is at least semi-viable?

With all the rage romhacking is I'm surprised nobody has actually taken a step back and done a relatively simpler hack such as this instead of stuff like whole storylines, fakemon and scripts.
Drayano's hacks and Neo XY already sorta do this but I was thinking of something more metagame oriented.

When every Pokemon is OU, none of them are.

>nerfing others
That sounds like dangerous territory

Well Mega Rayray definitely is one.
The other will probably just get some slight base stat nerfs but definitely nothing too drastic.

>romhacks
lol

Absolutely but it depends on the implementation.
Any retarded shit like "Ice resists Ground" or "Bug loses 5 of its resists" or "Poison is SE to Water" or "Prankster/Gale Wings/Protean on everything" and it's going to be awful
Get back to work, Icefrog.

>you will never be solely in charge of Pokemon balancing and have free reign to implement insane and outrageous ideas that would leave people wondering what the fuck you're smoking;_;

Nah probably won't fuck with the type chart. Maybe. Probably not.
I wish Pokemon brought forth the kind of madman changes that DotA got with each passing Gen. I guess the closest to this would be when dream world came out and we got wild shit like Technician Breloom and Poison Heal Gliscor.
