Trade Evolutions Removed: Haunter evolves into Gengar at Level 37. Machoke evolves at Level 40. Graveler at Level 40. Boldore at Level 42.
Item Evolutions: To evolve Scyther into Scizor, use a Metal Coat on it like a Rare Candy. Same for Onix with Metal Coat.
Type Changes (Rebalanced only): Luxray is now Electric/Dark. Golduck is Water/Psychic. Serperior is Grass/Dragon (learns Dragon Pulse at level 43).
Mega Evolution Rarity: Mega Stones are no longer given freely. Most are hidden behind post-game boss rematches. Only the Kanto starter Mega Stones are found in the Glittering Cave (verified location).
Experience Curve: The Exp. Share still gives 100% to the party (not 50% like later gens), but trainers have higher levels. You will not overlevel unless you grind for hours.
Verdict: You must have a dedicated "Revenge Killer" (a fast Pokémon with a Choice Scarf or priority move like Ice Shard) ready for their ace.
