About This ROM Hack
Pokémon LazyGreen is a Quality of Life (QoL) hack for players who want to enjoy the core Pokémon experience without the usual grind and difficulties. It's tailored for "lazy" players looking for easy access to features like trading evolutions, easy leveling, and full control over Pokémon types and stats. The hack introduces multiple convenience features like infinite Eevees, reduced item costs, and cross-generation evolutions. There's also a Monotype Mode and other settings that enhance the gameplay experience without making it overly complicated.

Known Bugs & Issues
- The hack may require some balancing as the original world isn't designed for all the added mechanics.
- No major bugs reported, but there is a mention of needing to fix Charizard's intro animation.
- The egg move system still needs work, and this is part of the “To Do” list for future updates.
