Hello 4chan.

I made this project called (Project ZA) with a unique goal of adding EVERY SINGLE pokemon post gen 6, from alolan and hisuian forms to paldean starters, and when PLZA releases, new mega stones like for Dragonite.

Altough the project might not see the light due me sucking at modding. I did made edits and place holders of what the romhack could look like if someone manages to take my idea and turn it into the biggest and embicious rom hack the fandom has ever seen.

Pls /vp/ i'd like to you hear your opinion.

Would gladly help

You've got your work cut out for you with the models from Gen 8+. Aside from the different model format, you also have to fuck around with the base texture to get them looking like the native 3DS ones due to the lack of any complicated lighting system, not to mention maybe fucking around with the mesh if the newer ones happen to be too much for the 3DS (although many models in the base game have that problem to begin with so whatever). Even the Gen 7 ones are a different format even if the general idea is the same between the 3DS titles. Personally this feels kind of like a fools errand backporting them like this. Like, it would make more sense to me to update the Switch titles to have more Pokemon given they completely lack them. Gen 6 and the later titles play almost identically, with the only major difference being a buff to Dark type by giving it a passive in Gen 7, which between having more Pokemon (and therefore marginally less work) and the .gfmodel format apparently loading faster would probably be the better 3DS title as a target. This isn't like the previous Gens where (aside from 4/5) they all play very differently or are easy to modify due to decompilations with technically less effort on sprites over 3D models. I assume you know at least some of this and have some reason to do this for exactly XY I guess (probably understanding of modding it, or the ease of multiplayer especially if Pretendo gets off it's ass) so good luck, you're going to need it.

On the contrary, that shit has happened constantly with the first three generations (although Gen 1 and 2 have run into issues because the index is simply not big enough). I'd argue it's something that is inherently part of being an older Pokemon title and the only reason it hasn't happened more with Gen 4 or 5 is because modding those games is a gigantic pain in the ass right now.

The problem is USUM is already too full of unskippable cutscene garbage.

>>58035924 is right, but I would love xy with a modern natdex because it's a much better game.
>but handholding
>but annoying friends
Look, I'll take a bunch of gift mons I can box and getting interrupted every 15 minutes over every 5 with my whole bottom screen being taken over by hints for toddlers. Especially if it means having amie and more battle formats to actually play with all those new pokemon, plus a better online system assuming emulators or dns servers can be set up to work with this hypothetical romhack. The better clothing styles, berry farming with mutations, and the rollerblades/bike without retarded safety gear (why not just helmet and knee/elbow pads? Why not let us customize our ride outfits too in newer games?) would just be bonuses.

Unironically the only way I'm ever going to bother finishing USUM/gen 7 is if they add a skip cutscene button via romhacks/modding. I got 2 hours in and to the mantine beach before I went "nope, all kanto shitmons (and the goat grubbin) and unskippable pointless cutscenes I'm out".

Bros I just invented this revolutionary new project where I do something literally no one's ever thought of before: add every single Pokemon past gen 6 into a 3DS game. Regional forms, new megas, the whole buffet. Yeah, not GBA like every other person who's tried and given up, but the 3DS, where the tools are nonexistent and the documentation is a 404'd ProBoards post from 2017. And the best part? Iโ€™m not gonna do it. I made some placeholders, and now I just need someone else to burn 5+ years of their life making my vision real. This will be the most ambitious romhack the scene has never finished. Youโ€™re welcome.
