>>57914652 (OP)
So, why is there a Yugioh character is Odyssey?

third for fuck david! :3

>>57914754
and where's odysseus

>>57914754
I guess the dev just threw in some extra stuff they liked so it's not purely Pokemon meets Etrian Odyssey. There's even some Golden Sun music in there.

Well, this is a surprise. I was testing some things with the tower and found out shinies can spawn in in.

How nice.

>>57914792
Just wait until when you start hearing music from TTGL and even Tales.

>>57914857
>>57908418
>>57908799
Wait, never mind, I got it working. Okay, NOW we are in business. Every generic trainer has the chance to have ANY pokemon. Special trainers will have hand picked teams of potential pokemon.

I'm taking some liberties since some trainers like AZ and Lucy don't really have much to work with, but if a trainer has a pokemon in a game, anime, or manga, I'll try to give it to them.

Odyssey is pretty fun so far, maybe I will get Pikachu just to turn it into Gorochu at lv.55 or Eevee for the new Eevolution.
I just don't get what the Aether Type does, seems pretty bad.

I had heard stories about the difficulty curve jumping steeply but wow, yeah. Checked the documentation and the Third Stratum boss does not fuck around.

Poison/Fighting/Dark/Ice beat almost everything and whatever's leftover gets turned off by carrying a pocket weather setter or using a follow me/rage powder bait.

To people who’ve played both Eterian Odyssey and this romhack how faithful is the rom hack to the series. The impression I get is that the romhack is just one big vehicle to dump unrelated nerd shit into a Pokemon game; there’s stuff like Nostalgia Critic or Reddit memes.

>>57916040
In terms of gameplay it's still just Pokemon, but with a focus on doubles. The only things it really lifts from EO are the Etrian variant designs, the general flow of a big dungeon divided into Stratums of different environments, and the concept of FOEs, monsters stronger than average for their area that are visible on the map and chase you. I say the 'concept' because I don't like how they're implemented here, rather than chasing you around when they spot you and only engaging you in battle when they catch you, they just engage you instantly like a trainer when you cross their line of sight. I guess it's a limitation of what they could do but it's still a letdown because a lot of the time in EO games you have to figure out how to maneuver around them and sometimes even have to bait them out by letting them chase you, then maneuver around them that way, and none of that is present in this hack.

It's still a fun time so far, but it's much, much more Pokemon than EO. And some of the writing is pretty cringe, especially in the sidequests (there's a early sidequest literally called 'The Cake is a Lie' or something similar)

>>57916053
I like the writing so far. The robot girl going sicko mode to insult the bald gangster was hilarious

>>57916072
Olympia is functionally a brand new character compared to her EO3 self. Which means that we don't get moments like her trying to kill you by siccing three FOEs on you in a death trap

>forced to play as a woman
I'm not playing this shit.

>>57915689
Wouldn't a Flash Fire mon wreck most of that team?

>>57916369
>>57916012
I ended up using two Ice mons to kill Roserade / Venusaur. The new Swalot form is absurd and can toxic stall two mons at once.

>>57915689
Is that the new double battle shit romhack?

Tempted on trying Odyssey, is it good?

>>57916457
As far as EO goes it's lame. As far as a Pokemon romhack "trying something new" goes, it seems to be about the level of Pisces.

>>57916459
Pisces was unfinished, Odyssey is incredibly rushed in the second half. You can see basically the entire roster by the 5th Stratum.

>>57916138
It's not as bad as it sounds. I was initially put off by it too, but you forget about it quickly. It's not a blank slate protagonist like normal Pokemon games, you essentially play as three characters and watch their story unfold.

>>57916535
Ironic since actual EO is known for it's blank slate party and minimal story that leaves room for writing your own interpretation of your party's actions.

When the fuck is Pisces getting a document

>>57916587
Never, devs are assholes

>>57916587
When 1.6 releases.

>>57916138

Any good GBC hacks come out/get updated recently?

I think pokemon crown has real potential to be a contender for one of the best romhacks once it releases. The completely new battle system is revolutionary.

>>57916053

>>57915339
And done.
885 pokemon sets. 300 trainers.
I'll come back later to add more pokemon sets once I start adding fakemon (and I somehow forgot Beedrill?!), and more trainer sets will be added as I add in more special trainers for the PWT.

Now My main goal is finishing the Pokemon distributors so that every pokemon is available. After that. I need to work on EVs, and to be honest, I have ZERO idea how to make a quick and easy way to modify EVs and IVs. I can dream up system all I want, but I don't have a clue how to implement them with ZERO coding skill. If anyone has an idea, I'm all ears.

I like turn based combat though. It might be revolutionary but that doesn't mean it's good.

>>57917796
He got caught up in writing his story and the hack became a formality.

>>57917240
>The completely new battle system is revolutionary.
>Auto Chess
What a shame. This looks pretty interesting but I don't think there's a genre I dislike more than Auto Chess. If it was more Chess based (maybe a mix of Fire Emblem / Chess or something) I might have been interested.

Working on a hack with another individual, he has been doing map design and now wants to do dialogue. Problem is, all his dialogue is long winded (like 40 lines of text in a row), cringey and fourth-wall breaky. He thinks its deep, but it breaks the flow of the game and doesnt match the mood. Dialogue should tell you what to do and where to go with a bit of flavor and personality. That much dialogue in a row will all be skipped over anyway, people will get 5 lines into a npc being sappy and just start mashing A.

His map work is fantastic tho and he has good creative ideas regarding story and obstacles. How do I let him down easy that his dialogue sucks?

>>57919246
well personally i'd just tell him that his writing won't be appreciated because everyone'll just skip right through it so he should try shortening it down a little
won't solve the problem that it's not doing all that much for the game itself but at least it won't make you look like the next rebirth
best solution for that part i can think of is just stick an extra NPC or two in yourself that does the pointing

>>57919246
tell him that brevity is the soul of wit
in fact, tell him that brevity is the dark souls of wit

>>57919246
>Problem is, all his dialogue is long winded (like 40 lines of text in a row),

If you don't stop him your game will end up like Seraphic Blue.

>>57918833
It looks like it's being well implemented so far and polished. I just crave a romhack that does something different from the turn based battling pokemon has had forever because we've had over 2 decades of it and it's boring to me now.

>>57919246
quietly drop the project and never speak to them again

Has there ever been a Pokemon fangame where multiple trainers adventure together with their own Pokemon? I was thinking of a system like that after playing Romancing Saga.

>>57920374
You mean like Pokengine?

>Playing Radical Red
>Spent the past few fucking hours collecting all the early game Pokemon

What is even the fucking point? I'm already losing interest. I googled this and it seems like people are saying the difficulty ramps up after Silph Co but.... why after Silph Co? Why not from the fucking beginning? I hate when games do this shit
>Bro trust me it gets better LATER
Fuck off, get better NOW.

I downloaded this piece of shit game for 2 reasons.
1. I want to put together many different teams.
2. A challenge.
So far neither has happened because it's too damn easy. Maybe I should have put the game on Expert mode but I'm not going back to do that shit now after I took ALL THAT FUCKING TIME catching like 150 Pokemon at Mt Moon (btw this is retarded, I fucking knew having so many Pokemon crammed into 1 tiny region like Kanto would be a disaster, this dev missed the mark, we need a game that is bigger or that utilizes multiple regions so you can have less Pokemon available in each new route because even with the speed up function + EZCatch enabled this shit still takes too much time to catch everything especially with day + night encounters).

>>57919246
Remind him that people play games for the gameplay, not to read text dumps.

>>57919246
you're just gonna need to have an honest conversation with him and tell him it isn't working and that you don't share the vision. if he gets offended and refuses to work with you beyond that, then he wasn't cut out for a collaborative project. if you intend to take over dialogue from him, maybe think of another area of the game you can put him on so he's still busy and feels like he's contributing. or maybe give him a compromise where he can write for an optional side quest or something.

>>57919246
oh and also, gas up the good work he's doing on maps while you talk to him. make sure he knows he's appreciated for what he's doing well and butter his ego a little bit on that before you start criticizing him. so he still feels like he's valued.

>>57920398
It doesn't seem to be similar to what I was thinking.

Here is an example of a Pokemon Romancing Saga I was thinking (inspired by Minstrel Song and RS3)

Hypothetical Setting: A resort island that people are gathering at for a celebration. The antagonists of the story are developing Shadow Pokemon for unknown purposes.
-------
Girl Thief (Main Character):
A young thief that has come to the island to steal items during the celebration. Her partner Pokemon is a female Roserade and they are so close that she cannot be removed from her Pokemon party. Unbeknownst to her she has the ability to see Shadow Pokemon.

Girl Thief (Recruit):
She alerts characters without the ability to see Shadow Pokemon of their existence. She is good at battling and will catch strong Pokemon on her own at a low rate.
--------
Male Joy (Main Character): A native to the resort island that is frail and kind. He works at the Pokemon center with his mother and can easily access healing items. His partner Pokemon is a Male Slowking from his late father. Depending on events completed in the story he can become a stronger character. He cannot see Shadow Pokemon and will not be able to recognize their moves in battle.

Male Joy (Recruit): He is bad at a battle but can heal. Depending on events completed in the story he will become a stronger character.
--------
Mysterious Young Man (Recruit Only): A Mysterious Teen found in a hidden lab with a princely aura and eccentric personality that can see Shadow Pokemon and also purify them. He is recruitable by all characters, but can be recruited by the Girl Thief at the very start of the game because of her ability to sneak into secure facilities.
--------
etc

^ Basically just a game with a lot of conditional events and a non-linear storyline.

What I need to think about is how to handle more than 2 trainers working as a team (outside of boss scenarios) and how the side characters would catch their Pokemon.

just downloaded odyssey, how is it?

>>57920591
The closest thing that comes to mind is Mega Power, but even that isn't really the same.

Well, fuck me. I don't even know what I broke this time.

>>57920603
Strong presentation, good start, everything falls off a cliff past the fourth stratum, the story, the pacing, everything, just goes to shit and the gameplay becomes trainer spam and walking through massive maps that are tediously dull to traverse, I wished I had more positive things to say, but I am extremely disappointed with the final update.
I can't even recommend it as someone who likes Etryan Odyssey, because there's far too much the dev skipped over or didn't do that would be perfect for this game.

what did you expect? it's just a gay low effort numbers tweak hack for the same boring fire red region that we've played a billion times and playing through kanto one more time is suicidally boring.

aw shit, I had hopes for it
So Unbound/Clover remain the undisputed top romhacks still.

>>57922751
My brotha, we have the exact same opinions

>>57919246
If someone else is writing dialogue, tell him to discuss working together. I don't think it's a good idea to tell him to fuck off if you plan to continue working together, if this is passion project.

>>57922751
Rocket Edition is up there as one of the best hacks, sure it's Kanto, but it's a really fun divergence on it, I honestly can't stand Unbound, but I love Clover a lot.
My reasons for disliking Unbound are numerous, but it boils down to the story being boring and dragging on for too long, the feature bloat doesn't hide the fact the game feels extremely dull to go through, way too many features are gated behind bizarre requirements or are just in the game because the dev felt like cramming it in, one example being Dynamax raids, the other being Galar mons locked to essentially postgame unless you use codes to edit spawn rates, which can brick your file. I wished I could say I liked it, and don't get me wrong, the spritework and a lot of the stuff accomplished by the engine is fantastic, but it's just not it for me. It doesn't help that the gym gimmicks are fucking miserable and opponents later in the game start getting free boosts on their Pokemon, the allied AI in double battles sabotages you, I just gave up after reaching one of the last towns out of boredom.

>>57922867
skill issue

>>57921316
Alright, that crisis is over.
As of now, EVERY fully evolved Pokemon from gens 1-9 are available.

Next step, EV/IV, and after that, the Sketching room.

>>57923118
Oh yeah, I guess the game could be considered "complete" at this stage. Tower pokemon can't have EVs fro some reason, so any pokemon you can make is just as strong as what's in the tower.

The current plan is to at least perfect the EV system (and make an EV system), put out build 2. Take/implement feedback, add in Snakewood content, put out build 3, and then go privet.

The plan was always to go privet once I started mass theft of fakemon, hell, I wasn't even planning to put out the snakewood build. Still, I'll include all the project files, so if you want to add in your own fakemon, it'll be easy to do so.

>>57917240
why is the dev just sitting 3 years of unreleased content like smaug
crown was amazing
but best romhack ever ?
gotta be emerald rogue for the gameplay
clover for hilarity

>>57918833
don't be filtered anon
it's incredible and at the very least worth trying

>>57922800
Your favorite pokemon is Breloom too?

>>57919246
you should rape him lol

>>57919246
Say that you want to do the dialogue and it would mean a lot to you.

Throw him a bone by asking him to handle some of the random trainers in a few routes instead.

>>57923382
you should just release the full version anyway. get a couple people here to do closed playtesting for you, then drop it and detach yourself from it. what are people gonna do if you steal their fakemon? not like they can pursue you legally. some people will seethe - just ignore it. once it's out there, you don't have to engage with anyone anymore, just let it out into the wild. or not. do whatever you want.

>>57923942
No, I actually do care if people get upset or hurt. Call it a flaw, or me being a pussy, or whatever, but that's my standing. I'm just doing what I want to do. If someone else wants to do all that, I wont' stop them.

Importing more pokemon/trainers is really easy and you'll have all the tools needed. Hell, even if you don't have RPG Maker, you'll still be able to add unobtainable pokemon to the tower and new trainers to the PWT since that's all done by editing text files.

>>57920401
>>First gym was piss easy
>>All of the trainers up and through Mt Moon have been piss easy
>Why not from the fucking beginning? I hate when games do this shit

Lots of romhacks have caught flack from certain people whenever the first gym leader has 6 mons, or the average jobber Joey is too much of a slog to fight since their Pokemon are ACTUALLY in the top percentage, I remember Eternal X/Wilting Y had a whole separate patch solely to nerf Viola.

The Radical Red devs also caught flack in the past because of the npc dialogue in picrel, people here seethed too.
You might be happy to know that in previous versions of RR you had the option of rematching Brock/Misty/LT. Surge/and Erika around Koga, in the more recent updates they actually made it MANDATORY to rematch the first four leaders before challenging Koga, full teams of 6, Megas, and even field gimmicks (particularly in Hardcore mode).
I imagine the dev(s) weren't satisfied with the initial fights but toned them down for early-game and casual players sake, consider them a warm-up for later.

>I fucking knew having so many Pokemon crammed into 1 tiny region like Kanto would be a disaster
>even with the speed up function + EZCatch enabled this shit still takes too much time to catch everything especially with day + night encounters

Dunno what you expected bro, catching over 1000 mons is gonna be brutal no matter what. Not sure if you're aware but alongside the "EZCatch" code you inputted there's also the "DexAll" code. That one makes every Pokemon appear visible in the DexNav, that means you can register one with the R button and search for and find it instantaneously, no random encounters needed.


If RR still isn't your speed I might recommend Elite Redux. That games DexNav is so fucked you can select any Pokemon in it and have one sent to your PC box, you can even do the entire route at once (exceedingly easy to shiny hunt too combined with the 1/5 shiny rate toggle).

>>57920401
>>57924221

Fucking character limit bro.
I'll also add that ER trainers and bosses do feel harder than RR on the highest difficulty toggles, but you also have a shitload of gamebreaking strats you can abuse too. The latest updates added a gimmick to gyms that make the gym leaders much harder for each gym trainer you choose to ignore.

>>57916587

>>57924652
>discord servers
Absolute shit. Get that documentation on a fandom if you must. If I don't want to look things up and get a fresh experience, I won't look things up. If I do, let me. If you don't let me, it's a worse experience. I don't look things up 90% of the time for romhacks unless I'm doing a challenge runs. Also, if you have a face like that, please hide behind a png, children could be watching. I got bored with pisces after the shitty forced pressure status dark room, so it'd be appreciated if people here can tell me it gets better after that. I did enjoy a few of the fakemon designs.

>>57924652
>deserve
a concept for the spiritually impoverished
something either is or isn't, there is no deserve

>>57924652
He's right about people acting too entitled towards romhackers but I wouldn't say that we don't deserve romhacks because of it.

>>57924652
>Needing documentation/guides on your first run of a game

Currently playing Odyssey on the hardest difficulty and am at the end of the third stratum
Feels more like a postgame addition to a real pokemon game more than anything, you traverse the maze or go to sea and explore and that's pretty much it
If >>57921374 is right I'll probably start hating it soon

>>57924652
He makes some good points, sometimes the difference between constructive criticism and being assholish is just the way you give it. There sadly is people that forget romhackers are people with their own lives, obligations, and they don't owe anybody anything. I do feel I deserve hackroms tho, I've been staying off the naughty list all year!

>>57924652
He's right, and the funniest thing about people sperging out over Pisces is, it's not even that hard of a game. Like on a scale of 1 to 10, if the Kaizos are a 10 and RadRed is an 8, then Pisces is like a 6.5 at worst. Some of the criticsms around the story/writing are fair, but people are malding about Pisces because they don't want to actually play games. They want battle sims in a ROM instead of exploring and catching and learning new mechanics and playing the fucking game organically like we all did when we were 8 years old. They have no soul, no sense of adventure, they are a nothing more than consoomers mindlessly mashing keys and consooming product before moving onto next product. So yes this heavily tattooed fat man makes a good point.

>>57926182
The hack had some legitimately annoying moments in the earlier releases, especially with the heal spam but they've been working to fix a lot of the instances of bad/awkward balance.
Most of the evolution methods are in the dex entries too.

I really wish Pisces had the Pokenav, it would allow for more funny NPC interactions and would mitigate the runback problem by allowing you to stockpile more cash

>>57924279
>Which games were you planning to source fakemon from?
All of them? The only fakemon I'm actively avoiding are fake types or "fakemon" that are just stuff from other media. So, no Mariomon or Digimon hacks. Other than that, everything is fair game. If you've got recommendations, I'm all ears, but I'll only be using them in my privet build.

>Do you plan on adding fakemon forms/fakemon evolutions, or completely original fakemons only?
New evolutions, regional forms, 100% original. I'll take it all.

I already have something in the works but I think I'll polish it a bit more before I show it here, anyways I wanted to ask you guys a question.
Which one of these options would you add to a hack that only features gen 1 and 2 mons (i'm only doing one of these)
Cross-gen evos
Regional-variants (yes this means galarian farfetch'd but no sirfetch'd)
Delta species
Beta evos
Don't add anything

>>57926546
>Cross-gen evos
Yes
>Regional-variants (yes this means galarian farfetch'd but no sirfetch'd)
Sure
>Delta species
Ehhhhhhh, either do the whole dex or don't bother
>Beta evos
Take it or leave it
>Don't add anything
That works too.

>>57926546
>Cross-gen evos
Yes.

>Regional-variants (yes this means galarian farfetch'd but no sirfetch'd)
One of the best things Pokemon has done.

>Delta species
Isn't this basically a regional variant?

>Beta evos
Sure?

>Don't add anything
If I'm playing a romhack, I usualy prefer if they do something new.

>>57926546
Cross gens or nothing

>>57926477
Oh wait I just got it lol

>>57924663
>>57924652
This guy still isn't in jail? He looks like someone who have done prison time.

>>57926779
He shills for new-gen Pokemon. His life is a personal prison of his own invention.

Best doubles centric romhacks? Preferably not just a rework of an existing gen if possible but any kind of campaign centered on the format is fine.

>>57926546
>Cross-gen evos
Yes
>Regional variants
Yes, but make sure their locations make sense. e.g. Galarian Wooper's dex entry states it lost a territorial battle and was forced to live on land, so maybe have it live to the route west of Violet, like it migrated north from where it usually is (route 32/union cave) after losing its original waterside territory to the Johtonian Wooper.
>Delta species
You mean from Insurgence? At that point you might be adding too many pokemon to the map. Either add the delta species or the canon regional forms, but not both.
>Beta evos
No, beta content is played out, most of the designs suck. Leave them out.

>Load hack up (any hack, doesn't matter which)
>hold down the speed up button for 90% of my playthrough
>Loading save states non-stop to speed everything up
>Ask myself if I'm enjoying myself playing like this

>Try to stop doing it

For fuck sake. I'm irritated with myself.

>>57926972
same people who complain about anti-speedup btw

>>57926972
Become autistic about the ingame time being accurate and you'll never speed up again.

>>57926972
Play on real hardware. Even the worst hacks are better on a real GBA.

>>57926972
For me it's nature autism ever since I got older and paid attention to it. If you have brand new fakemon and you're not gens 1 or 2 I will spend that three hours farming that modest Eerie I will never use damn you Super Mariomon. Even if I know mints are in the game I cannot stand when it shows me the nature changed but not the name of the nature being changed. It drove me insane in SV and I don't trust any game that has them.

>>57926972
I still have lots of fun playing with speed up. I think you may need to play a different series for a while (I know that's a tall ask for a /vp/ resident)

>>57926801
I don't think there are any that are done yet.

>>57926801
Odyssey

>>57926801
Odyssey is probably the only one to my knowledge even if the quality drops off in the 2nd half.

Off topic but does anybody know a Gameshark code to disable EXP gain/leveling up for FRLG?

Couldn't find any myself and thought it was just me, surprised there are seemingly none. I would think alternate formats would be a popular genre of romhack, at least for preexisting gens. Hope people use them more in the future, something like a hack themed around rotation battles would be cool.

>>57929396
REGIUS is primarily doubles, but it's incomplete and closer to a demo.

You can still squeeze 6 to 12 hours out of it, but the longer it goes on, the more unfinished it'll feel.

>>57929396
There are doubles hacks for many of the vanilla games. There's also Pokemon Dumbdumb island which is a complete (but short) custom region doubles hack.

>>57929396
Elite Redux has a Double Battle mode.
Check out VGC Platinum: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/ubya5v/introducing_pokemon_vgc_platinum/

>>57929960
Does VGC Platinum works on hardware? Sounds like it could be a cool playthrough.

>>57923382
Does anyone know if there's a command in essentials to increase EXP?

The wiki says the command "pkmn.exp = [number]" can be used to set EXP to a certain value, but most of the time you would want to add or subtract from it. However, it doesn't say what the command to do that is. If I had that, I'm hoping the same command would work with EVs, then I could easily set up a vendor who can instantly EV train pokemon.

For the life of me I can't figure this out, and I've just been adding trainers into the game all day.

Here's a WIP of my Water Gym. You supposed to navigate through mazes consisting of currents. It will have rocks to spice things up.
If you have suggestions on how to improve it, be my guest.

>>57930341
I would do something like this.
Just so that there is a path that instantly takes you from the gym leader to the exit.

>>57930372
Ok. Anything else?

>>57930411
wow you're so grateful for the help.
are you gonna give /rheg/ a credit in your game for coming up with 90% of your ideas? or at least like a thank you?

>>57930481
I will. I’m just asking if they’re any more I can add to the map.

>>57930266
>pkmn.ev[:DEFENSE] = 42
Sets EV to 42
>pkmn.ev[:DEFENSE] + 42
Does noting.
>pkmn.ev[:DEFENSE] = + 42
Sets EV to 42. Does not add.
>pkmn.ev[:DEFENSE] = add:42
crashes game.

I don't think I can brute force this. Assuming there is even a code for it.

>>57930524
>pkmn.ev[:DEFENSE] += 42
FUCKING GOT IT! IT WORKS!
Now we are in business. Instant EV/IV training will be in the next build.
Okay, I'll let people allocate EVs in multiples of 4, 40, and 252.

The menu navigation should be [stat to be trained] --> [select 252, 40, or 4,] ---> [pick pokemon].

Does that sound like the easiest way to quickly make EV builds? There will also be a reset everything to 0 button too.

>>57930341
Is this not just the same as Team Rocket/Seafloor Cavern? This is boring and lifeless as hell. You're doing this in RPGmaker not a GBA hack. You should be taking full advantage of not being as limited. This makes me think you have 0 ideas besides fakemon (which you have to export the actual spriting). Please show me some routes or areas that you think aren't god-awfully dull. Why would you create a game (by yourself) if you were not oozing with creativity?

>>57930838
You do know I work with a team right? Also, I had an idea for the Water gym by changing certain current directions via switch. But the thing is I don’t know how to implement it.

>>57930838
Also, I have a limited amount of resources I can use. Ever thought of that?

>>57930876
Still way more than GBA, no? Brawly's gym is way more unique and has much more identity than this does.
>>57930860
Then I hope that team overrides a lot of your creative decisions and implements their own. You're ok at fakemon, but I think you're kinda lacking everywhere else.

>>57930885
Yeah, I’m more of a character designer than an actual director. Sigh…
The only puzzles I have in mind for the Gym Leaders are:
Grass - Collect wood to build a bridge to the Gym Leader
Water - Navigating through currents and turn on switches to change the direction of certain current tiles (I’ll redesign the map to put that in mind)
Poison - Collect ingredients for the Gym Leader to make Secret Medicine (give it to a sick character to get an HM for Surf).

>>57930896
NTA but leave this shit to the other people in your team who are supposed to be working on it. If they know you're doing this, they could see it as publicly undermining their input.

Also, you're ungrateful for input because you're narcissistic and will never be half as good as you think you are. Leave this board forever, you parasite.

>>57930341
Why are the gym statues against the front wall? What's the point in having statues if you can't ever read them, you pedophilic retard?

>>57931033
I’m going to fix that in the morning.
>>57931015
Oh I’m not undermining their input. I just need to know which ones work the best. And me a narcissist? That’s rich coming from you given you and the other haters done a lot more damage to /rheg/ than I ever done and you’re arrogant to see that. Don’t get mad at me for speaking the truth.

>>57930247
I don't see why not, although the creators recent demo for their original hack, Iridium, might be more likely to be buggy on hardware apparently maybe possibly. This hack is much less transformative in comparison though, have fun if you do try it!

>>57931040
fuck off.

>>57931040
>I'm not a narcissist, YOU'RE the narcissist
Wow, you're even incompetent at deflection, imagine that.
>My haters have done more damage than me
You're the common denominator in the issues surrounding your presence. People have told you to fuck off and work on something tangible before creeping around asking for input from people, who you have no intention to credit, but you come back asking for validation about every fucking thing you do regardless.

You're like a child, begging for the board to put every little crayon drawing on the fridge and tell you "good job". Even when you do get constructive criticism, you're "updates" indicate you've taken none of it on board. You spend more time blaming everything and everyone else for your failings than you do improving yourself, which shows just how highly you must think of yourself to consider scrambling to defend against the tiniest blow to your ego more important than improving something you're allegedly passionate about. It's like you're 14 or something, do you genuinely suffer from delayed emotional or social development, is something like that on your record?

>>57931462
That's a nice post, but you made a grammatical error so you actually lose. Thank you for playing.

>>57930341
Personally, I would use the ocean current tiles from gen 3. These transparent arrows look weird.

>>57931477
fuck off acerola

>>57930554
Hummm, still needs work.
Not only can I add WAY too many EVs, but the EVs aren't changing the stats.

I hate this part.

>>57931534
This is the code I came up with.
Any suggestions?


It's also possible something funky is going on because I removed "Level Based Mixed EV System and Allocator" and it changed something in the code that can't be undone by removing the pugin. If that is the case, I'll have to make a fresh game. Luckily, I should be able to copy over all the maps and PBS files, so this won't take more than an hour of work, but I'm putting it off unless I know for a fact I have to do this.

>>57931462
All that hot air in your body is going to make you spontaneously combust.

Also, what makes you think I’m not taking constructive criticism to heart? Have you not paid attention to the various updates I’ve made? And do you honestly think I won’t thank you guys for the input? Something tells me I’m not the only “child” around here.

>>57931928

Strange thing for a child diddler to say!

Outside of the memes and speedrunner jokes it could easily pass for a game Nintendo charged money for it's that well done.

I just found another finished one called Pokemon Pisces is that any good?

>>57930838
Me again. I should put like whirlpools in there that will transport the player back to the beginning. That should give it more substance.

>>57932513
Congratulations, you had your first original idea for this gym.

>>57932410
Can't wait to play Super Mariomon again when the later updates come out, actually a masterpiece hack. Lotta teams I have in mind too, here's the Showdown fork if anybody who wants to experiment with their own team ideas or battle others: https://play.pokeathlon.com/#teambuilder

>>57932413
Try it and find out.

>>57931584
...
So...

I found out that EV items don't have a limit on the number of times you can use them anymore, and you can use 53 at once. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO INVENT THE WHEEL AND THERE WAS A GUY GIVING OUT FREE CARS SITTING NEXT TO ME THE WHOLE TIME!

Okay, what's done is done. I'm back on track, and could have the next build out in 2 weeks or less. I've also modified the main hall. Now all the vendors that can be used to edit pokemon are in the same area as the vendors who give out pokemon. I don't know why I didn't just do this from the start.

The vendors who give out fakemon will be in the "exotic hall" or whatever I call it.

Would you play it from this description alone?

>>57924652
playing blind can absolutely be fun, but you got me fucked up if you think it's a good thing to have "haha it's a le ebin sekret if you wanna find this pokemon ;)" and it's a Feebas or Munchlax tier headache in your fangame without documentation, or it's only on your faggot discord.

>>57933580
isn't potentially hiding weird shit part of the fun of making stuff like this?

>>57933585
this, its playground rumors tier and fun as fuck when games can pull it off these days

>>57933585
You're talking to a generation of automated subhumans who grew up on soulless corporate slop in all of their media. They consume media like junk food, checking another box off their ever-expanding list of products to consume. Games are just a series of rote tasks to execute until completion. If you hide cool easter eggs in your hack for intrepid players to discover through exploration (i.e. actually playing the game), this prevents the subhuman from completing his tasklist and checking the box off so he can move onto his next checkbox, and it frustrates and angers him.

>>57933649
if zoomers had the attention span to read this post, they'd be very upset right now.

>>57933649
>>57933664
I can accept the Lapras on Friday, Volcarona in BW2, chain fishing for shinies, and the extreme speed Dratini. Those are cool exploration finds/interesting mechanics, but having to wait 6 fucking hours for a 1% chance find from four fucking trees based on your trainer ID is tedious aids and cancer. Please schedule an appointment with a neurologist and get checked for autism ASAP

>>57933706
I agree with this, it gets to a point.

>challenge hack
>puts numerous pokemon on every route, wants you to experiment if not playing a nuzlocke
>give you no way to control nature and IVs
Trying run and bun and seeing that I'm expected to just accept unoptimal natures or need a finite resource just kills my motivation. Why don't devs make this shit as easy as RR? When it's a chore to try new strategies I don't want to keep fighting the same trainer repeatedly.

>>57933497
I wouldn't.
>Pokemon Bun is a 3DS ROM hack
is all I need to read to know that the hack is 99.9% the same as the unmodified game. The rest suggests that the only difference is that the game's text has been replaced with cringe. At most you might see a few texture or model replacements if the author was daring.

>>57933999
Scroll down a bit for a Heart Scale code: https://gbacodes.com/pokemon-run-bun-faq/

Is odyssey worth checking out?

>>57934227
I play gba romhacks on my 3ds but I guess I'll just play on my computer flr cheats. Just annoying that the game itself doesn't allow the option itself.

>>57924670
bumping to see if anyone reccomends giving pisces another go after not playing it for a few months

>>57924652
None of you deserve romhacks but also all romhack devs fucking suck. So basically it loops back around into both being made for one another.

any romhacks where u can play as a chick and reward ur pokemon by letting them fuck you?

>>57935718
Pokemon Ecchi Version, though it's a fangame not a romhack

>>57931928
>All that hot air in your body is going to make you spontaneously combust
This is some Chris Chan level comeback, holy shit. You do realize this is why you're considered a lulcow?
>Have you not paid attention to the various updates I’ve made?
Enough to know that you're only willing to make superficial changes to maps and designs, which I guess is understandable if your scope in development is indeed as limited as you make it out to be, but considering your previous behavior, I'm not inclined to believe you on that.
>Do you honestly think I won’t thank you guys for the input?
100%, you're incredibly conceited and self-interested, you probably think having the idea of asking for input is worthy of crediting yourself for anything you change as a result.
>Something tells me I’m not the only “child” around here.

You get banned everywhere because you deserve it. You are the dumbest motherfucker on 4chan for failing to understand any of that.

>>57935963
I only got banned from those sites because of that infamous GoAnimate video I've made. I was being nice to you guys when I'm open to suggestions regarding one of my maps yet you're spitting venom at me. Do you honestly think I should do 100% everything by myself?

>>57936006
>I was being nice to you guys when I'm open to suggestions
holy shit lol. you're being nice for allowing us to give you ideas? your narcissism knows no fucking bounds lmao. we're the ones doing YOU a favour, David. do you really think it's a privilege to give you ideas for your game that will go uncredited and unappreciated? you don't even say fucking thank you when somebody helps you. holy fuck you're entitled.
>Do you honestly think I should do 100% everything by myself?
yes, actually, I do. why are you trying to make a game if you don't have the skills or creativity to do so? and if you don't want to work alone, then you need to convince others that your idea is worth working on, which you have failed to do. if you can't complete the project by yourself, then you shod reconsider the scope of it and reign it in to better suit your abilities.

>>57936106
I'm willing to thank people for their help. I even did so on the Discord server.

>>57933706
the main thing is that it needs to be consistent and based on your decisions instead of RNG, and also the reward's value should scale with the effort it'll take to obtain it
if you make a sidequest (or other form of side content thing to do) that's long and convoluted the ultimate result is that no one will want to do it if it can be avoided (aka if they're not trying to document the game or doing some self imposed challenge that absolutely requires doing that wild goose chase to beat)

>>57933491

Grass - Collecting wood by cutting down trees to build a bridge to the Gym Leader.
Water - Navigating through currents while avoiding whirlpools.
Poison - Collecting 4 items (Revival Herb, Energy Root, Charcoal, and Balm Mushroom) by defeating Gym Leaders located in different parts of the region (only the areas available in the demo). These ingredients will be used for the Gym Leader to create Secret Medicine. It will used to cure an NPC of his sickness and get the HM for Surf as a reward.

Yes it is unfunny, just like a vast majority of Grounded videos.

>>57936897
so why do you make them?
just for the child rape fetishization?

>>57936949
No. It was something I wanted to do for a while. I originally stopped making them because of the backlash I’ve gotten, but briefly came back to make more (but without the overly explicit content). However, I’ve retired for real since I don’t have as much passion making them and I want to focus on my project. Even if I finished my project, I won’t go back to making GoAnimate videos.

>>57936957
That’s all I’m going to say. I don’t want this thread to get derailed some more.

>>57936734

I just got a rg40xxh is there some list online that sorts pokemon romhacks by most voted/downloaded ever?

scrolling through the forum that seems to house all the info on them is my only way of discovering them atm and I'm certain I'm missing out on huge titles

>>57937162
I'm not sure there's anything like that. there's the Pokerom codex which has a pretty detailed search engine for hacks but doesn't really have any info on popularity. I would just look up some discussions on recommended hacks and read through those. you're not the first person to ask for the best hacks and you won't be the last, there are plenty of threads out there on reddit and shit. if something is noteworthy, it's bound to get mentioned somewhere.

A member of the development team helped out making the maze for the map like the previous time.
Better?

So Odyssey's final boss can be cheesed by any physical tank that's able to set up like Aggron, since you're allowed to use any berries you gathered on any difficulty. That's wonderful.
There's a good game in here somewhere. It's just buried under these references and story that fell way off after the fourth stratum.

>>57936734
wack has custom shinies for all the snakewood fakemon they added but some of them are kinda shit

>>57937162
The hacking scene is semi-decentralized, so you won't find any sort of ratings like you're looking for.

>>57938583
Why do they always pick names like Lilith?

I played Pokemon Sienna up until the 8th gym. Used fast forward in the emulator so it only took me like 5 or 6 hours. The fakemon were kind of neat and the new region felt like it fit. Unfortunately the game seems to not have aged well. There were a handful of bugs and it was missing some standard things like physical/special split. I'm not a huge fan of hacks that have real pokemon and new fakemon in the same region, it dilutes both aspects as opposed to just going all in on one or the other. I appreciate the effort but I can't recommend it.
I just started Super Mariomon. Only just got my starter and the first capture but wow, the level of polish is impressive and it's remarkable how much dedication they took to overhauling everything to fit mario games. I already have that feeling that this one is one of the special ones that might be among the top romhacks ever made. I especially love the tattledex and the amount of information it gives. Looking forward to finishing this one, it feels like a treat so far.

>>57936964
Don't play dumb, you started it all.

>>57938585
>doesn't say anything about not saying thank you

>>57938684
What, for asking for suggestion regarding stuff for my project?

>>57938736
no, by engaging with rage bait like this and dragging these threads into arguments. just ignore it man ffs. you enable the trolls you love to blame everything on.

but also farming suggestions is annoying too, it's ok once in a while but you don't need feedback on every single little idea, I don't know how many times we need to tell you this. how many minor variations of your gym map have you posted already so far itt? didn't you say you have a team? why can't you run this stuff by them? we are not here to think tank for you.

>>57936970
Thanks, but I'll do it myself. This part is kinda fun.

>>57938772
I’m a diligent guy and often worry about things turning out to be impractical. As for me having a team, often times most of the members don’t give out their thoughts or make suggestions for changes.

as far as im concerned, ifunny IS filled with unfunny zoomer memes

>>57941713
Mario, Odyssey and Pisces are the big ones this year.

>>57940307
really?

>>57939497
I'm now in the hardest part of implementing the Snakewood pokemon. The moves.

Sure, some of it is easy, Storm Surge is just Hydro Pump with 10 less power, so there's no reason to not make it so that everyone who can learn Storm Surge gets Hydro Pump instead.

But then there's Data Stream, a 100 attack electric priority move that can only be learned by X32763. I am having to run around to figure out what tags to apply to this move because the wiki doesn't have a list of all of them.

>>57942167
I'll note that I don't know how to do animations, so the 2 moves I'm adding, there won't be animations yet.

I'll work on that in build 3.

>>57936547
So the Poison Gym Challenge is just a fetch quest? How about the Gym being full of bad smells and you have a limited amount of steps to get to the Gym Leader until you pass out and have to start from the beginning. There are stairs with clean air that will refresh your step count.

>>57936547
>fetch quest "puzzle"
>move down this specific route of tiles "puzzle"
>fetch quest "puzzle"
you suck and should feel bad

>>57941713
Emerald Rogue 2 only came out last year. I'd highly recommend it.

>>57942406
How about remove the stairs? It will be more engaging that way.

>>57942447
Well you cut down trees in order to get the wood needed to build the bridge.
I gave it whirlpools to give it more spice.
I’m going with >>57942406’s suggestion for the Poison-type Gym since it’s more interesting than a mere fetch quest.

>>57942632
>I’m going with >>57942406 #’s suggestion for the Poison-type Gym since it’s more interesting than a mere fetch quest.

are you going to credit them or at least thank them for the idea?

>>57942639
Yes I will.
>>57942406
Thanks for the suggestion. That’s actually more interesting than the first idea I have.

>>57942632
>my fetch quest isn't a fetch quest because you have to interact with objects instead of people to get the required items
You are fucking retarded
Please commit die

>>57943235
You use your Pokemon to cut down the trees.

Thoughts on having a karma meter in Pokemon?
>mons with high friendship, completing quests, planting berries, etc. raise karma
>mons with low friendship, letting poisoned mons faint in the overworld, cheating, etc. lower karma
Looking for suggestions for other ways to change karma. This is supposed to affect the difficulty of a certain boss fight near the end of the game, but it could be used for other things as well.

>>57944273
Infinite Fusion has it but it only matters for like a couple of legendaries

>>57940138
Based.
Where's the fun in making your own region if you don't populate it with its own unique Pokemon?

Finished up on the second episode of Flux. I've mentioned before that it's by the Uranium devs and you can tell. Not least because several of the fakemon are just reused and maybe given a slight makeover.

The story is plodding. There's Flux energy which lets people do Flux moves but there's also wild Pokemon who get fucked up on Flux and attack human settlements while on a meth binge. It's treated as a big reveal that these two things are related. There's some bullshit about ancient historical civilizations, a shady corporation, and near the end there's an attempt at a SMT-esque choice that might lead into different endings or whatever. Maybe. No gyms but there's three "tournaments" in total.

The gameplay has Flux moves. These are two-part moves where you can swap parts out with items, so you start with a move that (1) boosts defense and (2) attacks for 100 BP (uses higher attacking stat) and nearer the end you get shit like enduring or setting terrain or weather or whatever. This is also how HMs work. Neat in theory, in practice it just devolves into most encounters hitting you with an alpha strike Flux move that'll probably take out one of your mons.

I didn't really like any of the new mons that much. There's no dragons except one you get handed by the story and which has 4 evolutions, which have 2 evolutions each. Each other type has a few representatives, although it feels like there's a fuckton of Water mons for whatever reason.

There's online features but they require joining the Discord and they're basically a shittier GTS so who cares. Wonder Trade's been down for a month now, the Mystery Gift mons you can get aren't awful but not really something to get too excited about.

All told, just wait for it to be finished. Only took two years or so between releases of episode 1 & 2, so it should only take them until 2027.

I recently got delta on my phone and have played through all the gba/ds games. Is there a list with short descriptions of the really good roms? I'd like to play something slightly different but nothing totally insane like clover. Emerald seaglass looked ok, but the art style is a little dated despite being cool.

>>57944273
>inb4 it just makes not going for either extreme very suboptimal

>>57942656
lol you're so fake

friendship is such a wasted worthless mechanic
literally all you have to do is play normally and every pokemon in your party will get max friendship. you have to actively sabotage yourself by feeding a bunch of bitter plants to the pokemon to lower the friendship. even fainting it a bunch isn't reliable because that means you are actively using it in battle which also raises the friendship.
how the fuck do you fix this and make it useful for anything

>>57945734
lol you're so cynical

>>57945744
It would be interesting if pokemon with low base friendship would actively disobey you.

>>57942167
Done. 21 Snakewood fakemon will be in the game in the next build.

Man, thinking of Gym puzzles is not easy, especially when someone already beats you to that one good idea you have.
What are some tips you can share?

>>57942536
that's made by a tranny though

David keep your trip on, makes it easier for me to filter out your posts

>>57946039
so was 4chan but you still come back here every single day

>>57946044
the problem is his designs are being posted even without his trips.

>>57945772
you didn't thank the guy until you were told to thank him. it's so performative. you don't really appreciate the help you get, you think you're owed it.

>>57946436
You're so cynical that you accuse people of not being sincere when you have no real way of knowing.

>>57946028
You can't come up with gym ideas. You also seem to have a hard time coming up with fakemon without help, and with region ideas, and map ideas. You also can't sprite, or compose, or code, and admittedly aren't a good director. What CAN you do, David? Why are you even trying to make a game when you have no skills and no ideas?

>>57946440
it's pretty obvious. if you were sincere, you wouldn't have needed to be prompted to say a simple thank you.

>>57946443
I have people helping me out. Why is it such a foreign concept to you?

>>57946448
Let me tell you something. >>57942406 is actually me. Yes I've replied to myself.

>>57946450
>I have people helping me out
yeah, we know. it's us. ungrateful cunt.
>>57946455
Jesus christ that's even worse. you're fucking pathetic dude holy shit. you do all this crap and still wonder why everybody hates you.

>>57946466
Have you ever had friends your whole life? I do. Hell, I never had been bullied during my school years.
>>57946466
Like you guys are much better. I admit to having faults unlike you who thinks he's perfect and can do no wrong.

>>57946484
this is just sad. fuck off.

>>57946484
I have and I actually keep them by not being a disgusting cunt who can't decide on anything beyond what degenerate fetishes to shoehorn into a fucking pokemon game.
>I never had been bullied during my school years
Because we know you got expelled for something you don't wanna tell us.

>>57946497
You too. The general will be better without you as well.

>>57946500
Jumping to conclusions I see.
>I have and I actually keep them
Sure you do.
>Because we know you got expelled for something you don't wanna tell us.
Do you have proof to back that up? No? Alright it's your funeral.

>>57946504
Plus, I still have my childhood friends. I just lost touch with them over the years, before I even got on /vp/.

>>57946501
you first. you leave, and I'll never post about you again. I promise. but you have to leave.
