don't be afraid to re-roll the seed if your starter or first route is a dud. a useless early game kills a lot of first runs before they get going, and there's no prize for suffering through it.

for a first run keep it random but not cruel: starters random but with similar total stats, wild pokemon randomized area 1 to 1 so each route still has its own set, trainers randomized with the similar strength option, and give everything full TM compatibility so a weird mon is still usable. leave evolutions and abilities alone the first time. fully random evolutions are funny for about an hour and then your whole team turns into the same three things. also tick the option that guarantees a few level up moves early, otherwise you end up with something that only knows growl at level 15.
