Using the OOB from the castle, I was able to get factory to load in, including the broken parts of the bridge leading to it but I was already so low that I ended up in a falling loop shortly after. Does anyone know where the actual loading trigger is for that area?

Also is there a way to see hitbox information, or is anything in the works?

Seems like someone will do it eventually. Using only the starter to beat through the game. Possible? Pikachu might have a pretty large disadvantage though.. maybe separate catagories for Eevee/Pikachu for this one?
