GradeF

Real traction, but rough engineering makes it hard for contributors to trust.

Higher than 31% of 5,156 graded repos

An upgrade to Pokémon Crystal. Brings features and content up to date, and adds some original content.

A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code

Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to C (71).
