To add to what the other commenter said, there is a hard mode that is off by default. It seems more aimed at reasonable difficulty.

It is one of those modern Pokemon hacks that are just ludicrously hard, or is it casually enjoyable?

You can make it as easy or as hard as you want!
It comes with documentations for the game and the mechanics. One of those has some cheats you can put in to play your way. Their previous romhack Emerald Seaglass was the same way.
Highly recommend both!
