RIP

>>58031324
Owari da... /rheg/ is finished....

Anyways. I'm so romhack pilled now, the only thing that comes to mind when I think the all-but-confirmed new megas is using them in Elite Redux or some other hack.

Hope they come out good, I don't mind the Dragonite one too much.

>>58031414
lol same my initial thoughts were how long until we see these guys sprited and put in romhacks. I guess not until we get official designs for all of them

>>58030470 (OP)
>supporting anti-speedup in romhacks
>clover devs also working with the dev of that fucking ifunny hack
it's dead

>>58031414
i find it kinda weird everyone says mega dragonite 'confirmed' this leak while at the same time there's a twitter thread on the catalog showing like 3 different fan designs that also looked like it

>>58031575
I mean giving dragonair features to dragonite was a pretty common idea, but it's the exact specific way the features are laid out. and the supporting characters having scracty and staryu gives it more weight too. I would be very surprised if it was just a coincidence at this point.

What’s are some underrated/overlooked GBC and GBA rom hacks to try out?

>>58031636
Peridot(GBC)

>>58031575
i refuse to believe any leak until it gets multiple things right on separate occasions
there are so many fucking fake leakers these days that some of them are bound to get some things right just by sheer numbers
monkeys on typewriters shit

>>58031575
The description got virtually every detail about Dragonite right, and the Scraggy/Staryu coincidences are way too strong to ignore, but you're right that we need to wait on more Megas to see whether or not the leak is truly legit.
My money's on that they actually panicked over which Mega to show first to avoid immediately confirming the leak, so they went with Dragonite since there's a lot of "Mega Dragonite that reincorporates Dragonair design elements" concepts floating around online that it doesn't really hard-confirm.

>>58031659

>>58031632
Naw, the wings and orbs are kind of the only features. MAYBE if the wings in the leak were deliberately oversized. I'll want at least one more to have it confirmed.

>>58032651
specifically wings on the head, arms and heels. and pearl on the tail. a lot of concepts had one or two of those specific elements, but 4 for 4 is pretty good. also, have to keep in mind the image above is just an artist's depiction of text descriptions, which do actually describe them as "big angel wings" on the head.
along with scraggy and staryu being showcased I'm like 99% sure it's legit.

anyway, uhh....romhacks, amirite guys?

Where the fuck is Coral?

>>58032808
A demo (roughly 60% of the game.)

>>58032828
Can you pick up from your demo save file when the full game is released? Not interested otherwise

>>58031636
Pokemon Cope
It even has a sekritmon that I’ve never seen anyone but myself get
It’s not even on their showdown server either

>>58031476
cope, seethe and dilate. Noon is genuinely the most technically impressive hack ever made and it's not even done yet.

>>58033320
and yet no one will touch it due to being associated with ifunny

WIP for the shiny Fakemon

anyone know any good romhacks that have a large dex (400+ pokemon), increased shiny odds, battle frontier, and possibly even ng+?

>>58033841
What kind of new game plus are you looking for?

>>58033888
some carry-overs from a previous run, such as a team of pokemon de-leveled, not total loss of items/retention of useful shit like a vs. seeker in the early-game.

ideally, the rom hack wouldn't have static trainer pokemon levels, but run a formula that levels their pokemon up alongside yours too, that way you can just out-level all of your problems.

>>58033915
can't* just out-level all of your problems

>>58033320
are you blind?
arrest yourself and go to bed, pokemon clover mogs ALL fangames with no exceptions.

>>58034142
Clover is the better game and I will concede that all day. I genuinely believe it to be a masterclass of pokemon game design, but from a technical perspective what Noon is doing on gba romhack is extremely impressive. Even if I find Clover to be the enjoyable game I would be lying if I said Noon wasn't better looking.

>get recommended renegade platinum
>expect a fun time
>its a smogon sim that demands you to have the documentation open at all times

clover has triple battles now?

>>58034142
>>58034851
id agree but one of the devs has some autistic spergout fit anytime someone mentions wanting to use speed up

>>58034991
>get recommended Pokemon Saiph
>not a single line of the script was proofread or spellchecked
does anyone knpw of any cool romhacks with no fakemon and not written by ESLs? I've already played all of the big ones, Prism, Glazed, Unbound etc.

>>58035018
it's not really a romhack, but i sank a fair amount of time into pokerogue

>>58035018
>does anyone knpw
>knpw
serves me right for complaing about someone else not proofreading, instant karma I guess

>>58033320
What makes Noon technically impressive?

>>58034991
>Renegade Platinun
>smogon sim that demands you to have the documentation open at all times
..........
Post team, and movesets.

>>58035001
possible thanks to gba romhacking features

any good romhacks where i can bring my bros to the mainline games easily? i played crystal clear and it was kino

Is it worth getting into clover right now or should I wait for the update?

>>58035441
polished crystal is one of the best ways to play gen 2 but it also has the added problem of *too* good and might set expectations too high

>>58031636
Gold/Silver 97 Reforged

Are there any romhacks that expand/ focus on breeding as a mechanic?

>>58035830
>>58035357
Ar btehre any ROMHACK WHERE you can recreate this famous comic?

>>58009083
Done.
Every trainer (so far) has their team that will be used when you encounter them all over the hotel. I still need to go back and set EVs, moves, and natures, but the teams have been made. They are MOSTLY game accurate, but I did add in a few things for trainers who only had teams of less than 6 or duplicates.

Now I need to start building environments to place them in. I've already build a lab, pool, and cafe, but need to think of a few others. I also need t write dialog for encountering these trainers and maybe start making ribbons for them to hand out for beating them.

After that, I can work on the PWT to make gen 1/3/7 cups, and EVERYBODY cup, and maybe ONE mono type cup. I need at least 8 trainers to make a cup, so I'll have to import a few more since I don't have enough of any type, AND I also need over world sprites with walking animations.

Once that is done, I can put out the 3rd and final build that will be put out on /vp/.

Oh and I might have to work on the sprites, turns out the default sprites for some of the gen 9 pack are so large that they go off the screen, so I'll have to replace them, but IDK if that will be before or after I go dark.

>Music by GlitchxCity

>>58034991
Renegade Platinum is a little spicy but you don't need to be a smogonfag to beat it

>>58035854
I also made a library. A good number of NPCs can be stored here. Between this and the cafe, I think I have enough locations the the current number of trainers.

4.0 fucking WHEN

>>58035854
>>58036444
What an undertaking, great work battle tower anon! Would you show us some team samples?

>>58035897
Love GlitchxCity, her remixes defined Pokemon Reborn back in the day.

>>58036543
I really did think Gaia 4.0 was gonna drop last December. Maybe by this December? SpIce must be really busy irl, or doing a ton of polishing and/or feature creep, maybe both.

Does anyone know where I can get a Japanese Diamond .sav(!) savefile? I need it for the pal park so it needs to have at least the national dex. The copy I bought has no savefile.

I found a .duc that I can read with PKHeX but I can't seem to be able to convert it at all, not with Save Editor, Shunyweb or the Offline Save Converter, they all seem to produce a corrupt .sav that PkHeX can't read.

>>58037298
Can't you get a rom for Japanese Diamond and just have the emulator create a .sav for you?

>>58037438
And then edit it with all the goodies? I guess I can try.

When do I get access to beta design pokemon in Peridot? I don't want to use the kanto starters again in a game with what are basically fakemon

>>58037710
At night, on the first route with Pokemon them. Otherwise, right before gym 3(you can walk there right after getting Rock Smash).

>>58037759
How many are there in the game, is there a list?

>>58037854
There's 19 in total. You see most of them in the middle of the game.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13GzuHW9tcCbiqrxl6vT6CvK3SJe3YOb6VQZAbTmXpq8/
Scroll down to the bottom, below Celebi.
Not everything here is completely accurate because I'm still making small tweaks to movepools here and there and haven't released an update in a few months.

>>58037909
So you're the peridot dev then? Strangely on that doc I can't see anything past marowak

>>58037922
>So you're the peridot dev then?
Yeah, I'm always lurking these threads.
>Strangely on that doc I can't see anything past marowak
That is strange I can see it all without signing in, even on mobile.

>>58035897
no essentials slop is brave enough to do a soundtrack entirely from mewmore covers

Haven't played pokemans since Sun & Moon, what are some good romhacks to check out? Someone I know recommended Reborn and Emerald Imperium

>>58038052
Reborn is neither good nor a romhack

Any hacks where you can change nature/abilities/IVs/eggmoves later on in the game?
Getting so tired of this shit.

are there any clothing mods for USUM? particularly swimsuits? it seems absurd that there's no bikini or skurumizugi available in vanilla.

>>58038052
emerald rogue

>>58037935
I think the doc maybe doesn't work on mobile because I checked it on PC and I can see past maro now

>>58038059
any essentials game if you put " debug" (space included) at the end of your launch shortcut's filepath

I've been working on a hack of Emerald for fun where all Gen 1 to 3 Pokémon are obtainable (or at least one member of an evolutionary line is) with the goal of it being still difficult but not impossible to complete the Pokédex on one save file/without trading (eg. trade evolutions now evolve by item or level-up).

I've added a handful of new areas to avoid routes becoming overcrowded, and added a handful of trainers along them, but I was wondering - for this sort of hack, do people like or dislike having areas with unique tile-sets to the base game? I've got a lot of experience making sprites over the years and I'm pretty confident in my ability to make them fit in with the general RSE style.

I've made a handful of one-offs already for legendary encounters (eg. a shrine for Celebi, akin to the Ilex Forest one), but I've been thinking about the idea of giving Shoal Cave it's own tileset (as well as expanding it), for example.

>>58038052
>>58038069
emerald rogue 2

>>58038134
New tiles are always nice to see.

hoping light platinum ds finishes development soon
what other ds fangames are there? i heard about one called "legends arise", looks interesting

What's the equivalent of Pokemon Polished Crystal but for gen 3?

Are there any newer romhacks like HarvestCraft, where the main focus is on some mechanic other than battling?

>>58038282
Inclement emerald?

>>58038069

Cute cottonball!

For enhancement hacks of existing games (fully completable self-contained pokedex with lots of mon variety per route, buffed trainers and bosses, optional buffs to Pokemon, ect) I would recommend hacks by Drayano, Buffel Saft, and Dio Vento. Radical Red is similar to Imperium (the latter inspired by it), roughly all the new mons and extra tough

For original hacks sets in new regions: Unbound, Gaia, Peridot, Brown, Prism, might throw Glazed in there too. Tourmaline is another upcoming one I'd keep an eye on.

Rocket Edition lets you play through Kanto through the eyes of a Team Rocket and steal Pokemon, overhauled story with a new perspective.

Black and White 3 - Genesis is a GBC hack set in a time-skipped Unova.

Pisces is a time-skipped Hoenn with new/updated areas and mechanics, and a ton of fakemon.

Fools Gold has nearly 500 "regional" variants of existing Pokemon, and the Sevii Islands.

Gold & Silver 97' Reforged is based off the leaked beta versions of GS, complete with all the betamons that got axed.

Super Mariomon is a recent one that's pretty amazing, especially if you're a Mario fan.


There's more out there too, ROWE, KEP, Crystal Clear, the Kaizo hacks by SHF, Modern Emerald, Emerald Rogue, Orange, ect.

The world of romhacks is deep, pick something to sounds nice to you and give it a whirl, have fun!

>>58038059
Any romhack compatible with PKHeX by default. RR, Unbound (especially with the godscanner), anything with emphasis on QoL.

>>58038134
Like other anon said, new tiles are always nice, new areas too.

>>58038750
>good riddance
Indeed

>>58037170
>Would you show us some team samples?
Sure.
I try to keep the teams close to what is "cannon" but I have taken some liberties here and there. Mastersex, manga, anime, and the BW2 PWT helped, but sometimes I just have to go with whatever feels right. In the end, I admit things are all over the place in power levels.

The legendaries will be removed for the PWT teams.

>>58039150
dope. you're killing it man. nice to see you still making so much progress.

>>58038429
what romhack isn't these days

>>58040049
Source?

>>58040121
Dementia patient tried to draw a map of johto and kanto

>>58039150
The hard part is going to be writing these trainers and making them sound in character. Some of them I can't even remember at this point.

Christ, CAWPS really fumbled the ending.

>>58030470 (OP)
Just started delving into ROM hacking, been using pokeemerald as my base game. I was wondering if other ROM hacks have toyed around with HM functionality. I'm planning on having it so you dont necessarily need the pokemon to know the HM move in order to use it in the overworld, freeing people from needing to designate pokemon as HM slaves. As long as you have the HM in your inventory and a pokemon capable of learning the HM, you can use it. Have any ROMs tried this?

>>58041312
>Have any ROMs tried this?
Plenty

>>58041312
yeah it's a pretty common feature. upgrade to pokeemerald-expansion if you haven't already, I'm pretty sure it has options like that baked in. if it isn't already in base pokeemerald. but it's worth getting the expansion anyway

>>58038927
thanks for the comprehensive reply friend, have a few more cottonballs
