Damn, Pokémon ROMhacks are getting real hardcore

A screenshot from Pokémon Odyssey saying "Basic reading comprehension is needed to fully enjoy the game."

Reminds me when Age of Decadence used to have this warning at the start of the game lol

A screenshot of The Age of Decadence, showing the following text:

FOR SOME PLAYERS, THE AGE OF DECADENCE IS A HARD GAME. ALTHOUGH COMBAT MAY SEEM IMPOSSIBLE, IT MERELY TAKES A WHILE TO MASTER. EVEN A SINGLE OPPONENT CAN BE EXTREMELY CHALLENGING AND A SINGLE MISTAKE CAN PROVE FATAL. FORTUNATELY, MANY FIGHTS ARE OPTIONAL AND THEIR DIFFICULTY CAN OFTEN BE LOWERED VIA THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO YOUR CHARACTER.
SO, IF YOU'RE UP TO THE CHALLENGE, SELECT THE NORMAL DIFFICULTY, CREATE YOUR CHARACTER, AND HAVE FUN MASTERING THE SYSTEM. ALTERNATIVELY, YOU CAN CLICK ON THE AWESOME BUTTON AND PLAY THE GAME WITH A PRE-MADE CHARACTER-A BATTLE HARDENED VETERAN, WELL EQUIPPED TO HANDLE ANY CHALLENGE, AND MAKE SHORT WORK OF EVEN THE MOST DANGEROUS ENEMIES.

gotta say, calling easy mode "awesome" is a pretty fantastic way to flip the concept
