>>58495575 (OP)
someone tell Delcattyfag that he has to solo run Hoenn's Last Wish now.

>>58495575 (OP)
Bump

>>58495575 (OP)
Someone tell Delcattynazi to jump off Stark Mountain.

Making my own little personal wiki for every hack I find interesting (everything that isn't a difficulty hack)
Who needs an updated pastebin when you have a weird need to catalog u know ;)
and why do so many games love Suicine so much?

Jesus every tree is bugged and crashes the game in tourmaline

>>58496315
lmao

I wonder how David’s project demo would turn out. Maybe it would turn out decent?

>>58496315
The price of peak is sometimes too much to bear...

>>58483771
While I'm still frustrated by my inability to find public Wes overworld sprites, at least N has enough pokemon to make at least 4 monotype teams.

>>58495575 (OP)
>Palimpset
is this like a strategy game? doesn't even look like a Pokemon hack except for the battle screen.

>>58497566
David, didn't you say you were definitely leaving to reflect on your actions, or something?

>>58498535
he's said that like 20 times by now. just ignore him.

>>58495575 (OP)
Okay anons, what is your actual FAVOURITE 3rd Gen romhack? And I don’t just mean the best - like what’s your actual favourite for whatever reason? One you have good memories of that sorta thing.

>>58498673
Dreamstone Mysteries

>>58498673
Giratina Strikes Back.
I went in blind, and holy shit that was like taking acid, and it not kicking in till a job interview 15 years later. The only real problem is that it gets grindy at times, but it also had one of the best champion reveals in any game.

>>58498673
Pokemon Vega

>>58498518
Its a shorter game with puzzle elements, you’re given a ditto with sketch as a starter and fights take place between static pokemon and a few trainers.
It’s pretty fun just because of how different it is, and yes it is an Emerald hack.

>>58498673
Clover

>>58495575 (OP)
All my homies waiting on Light White

>>58499598
CUUUUUUUTE!!!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Fortune (featuring clovermons)

>>58498673
Pokemon Clover.

>>58499598
if this is just fire red with a nice artstyle it'll get boring by the midway point, hopefully they spice it up

>>58500669
nah, it'll be different

>>58499598
I hope they touch up the UI.

>>58498535
just make a callout document, is not that dard.

is Pokemon Fire Red Reignited the best rom hack for the first gen or is there something better?

>>58500680
not as pretty as the battle screen, but still, looks pretty neat

fakemons are cringe

>>58503349
and pokemon clover is the exception

>>58503557
clover is the exception to a lot of things. how did they do it bros?

>>58503557

Trying too hard.

pokemon rejuvenation leak (actually real this time): https://mega.nz/file/pmAzWTQZ#8fZ8VFtJbuxBN1KfCSvbwm1DLbew7qNYdmzsMjJqJX4

>>58498673
Clover because it was good and full of novelty like new mons, story, regions, music and the humor.
Emerald Rogue and Unbound are decent but the tone isn't attractive to me and the feelings of exploration isn't there. You already know the mons and the region in Unbound isn't as well made as Clover desu

>>58503349
This is what people think until they play a fakemon hack with a roster that clicks with them

Romhacks where you battle against Cyborgs?

>>58505796

>>58505014
>old v12

>>58507065
It's the unreleased testing build that Jan abandoned after V6 and isn't accessible online. There's a ton of shit that didn't make it into the current game in there.
Unlike the fake V14 leak a few weeks ago, this has actual new content.

>>58495575 (OP)

>>58503349

>>58508172
Because they're creatively bankrupt and can't accept the idea that Pokemon would spend a whole season in a location that isn't in the games.

>>58507639
This looks like those piss-colored routes in XY

>>58508301
source code is a great aid towards the progression of rom hacking, but it doesn't just open the floodgates on it's own.
Either way, I don't actually know too much about the scene and just wanted to be funny, but given that 3DS hacking can't get away with much I went out on a limb :P

>>58508284
>implying
We'll still be relying on Gen 3 hacks even by the time of 2060. Entire custom emulators built to handle the sheer level of strain necessary to accommodate the level of content bloat that's present in these romhacks will be commonplace, and rom filesizes will be at least 500MB on average.

>>58508296
hey! I am using MyInfo8, which is a desktop program that lets you make your own personal wiki page without needing html.
The screenshot is from that program, so I can't "link", but I put all the stuff I wrote into a pastebin for you https://pastebin.com/fcH706VJ
Unfortunately there's no images like in the picture, sorry about that, MyInfo8 costs money but there is a trial version or I can just link you the installer that I still have from my purchase 0__0
Some ones that are missing are Gaia, Glazed, Sweet, Sirius, & Weird Type Fun, I have them in a separate notebook with longer reviews because I actually beat them and had more to say, for all these descriptions I am using what /rheg/ and the pokecommunity page says.
I am also not done, I am putting this together in my spare time, looks easy but everything takes time! And I have only covered Gen 3 right now. I keep adding more and more, I am becoming obsessed with cataloging 0__0.

>>58508597
Holy peak.

>>58508502
DS hacking will take off in 2 more weeks

>>58509076

>>58504948
why does this make Reborn actually look cool

>>58508653
Would Emerald Seaglass fall into this? Its basically Emerald with gen 2 graphics and QoL and new features around. has some good changes like being able to go to pacifilog town when you first arrive in slateport

>>58508172
pokemon is at its best when its tropical locals

>>58508172
It's a part of the Pokemon world that has been thoroughly explored while not ever appearing in the games.

>>58509107
I should definitely add it yes...
I only don't care for hacks that are an official title but with more customization or difficulty or things of that nature 0__0 no offense to the Radical Red & Inclement Emerald fans but I don't care about battling, I like seeing new mons and worlds.

>>58505014
where's the dolphin porn
and where's the point in trying to pass off a leak of rejuv as anything remotely real when that'd require people to somehow not expect Jan to not be a total sperg about build secrecy to avoid anyone finding out the incredibly predictable plot 'twists" and specific tvtropes pages Jan visited after v13.5's release
either way we're obviously not getting an update on that black hole of patreon scamming, shit development practices, and advice from TWA videos taken at face value
>captcha: SXHTY
yeah no fukken shit captcha

>>58509200
it's real
this is the old dev build that jan keeps paywalled and cries about if you mention anywhere online
it says "version 5" but that's when he moved away from his original plans, the actual version 5 only goes up to Angie but this goes up to Saki

>>58509200
worded that wrong
for a leak of rejuvenation to be believable, there would first have to be actual playtesting that happens and thus actual real testers that'd get a beta copy in the first place
which is evidently false - anyone remember v13.5's launch where you couldn't progress during one of the many story hallways in chapter 12 because of a mandatory bossfight breaking because of missing team data?

>>58509442
It wasn't because of missing team data, it was because for some fucking reason jan RE-ADDED the code that makes battles break if a party has more than 6 Pokemon in it, and the battle in Chapter 12 has 8 Pokemon on one trainer.
You know, the code that was intentionally removed so that that battle could have 12 Pokemon in Intense Mode in earlier versions.
A better example for Rejuv not being beta tested at all is the deluge of
>help i tried to catch rainbow pokemon but the game broke
that shows up on the game's subreddit, which happens because they misspelled one line of code, and said code literally only exists to spite debug mode users.

Also, picrel. Instead of just removing the item, he's got to insult people that use WTW to get there. And yet, there's a Peat Block in an area that you have to use WTW to get to on Reldin Island that didn't exist in V13. (Ursaluna is unobtainable right now.)

>>58508597
we're nearing a point where rom hacks can achieve everything the essentials games can already.

>>58509076
Wake me when it's gen 5 hacking instead of gen 4.

>>58509476
oh right i almost forgot rejuvenation had those rainbow pokemon that had weird gay auras and higher than usual IVs (irrelevant for sane people that'd just debug perfect IVs anyways to try and make the game's dubious balancing more tolerable) that caused development delaying crashes and were as a mechanic only connected to some creepy ass NPC I never interacted with because i wanted to preserve what sanity i could
>Ursaluna is unobtainable right now.
speaking of unobtainable/barely obtainable mons
I wonder when they'll let my birdmoth nigga out of his unsavescummable mystery egg prison
he dindu nuffin

>>58508397
does the anime still do stuff like this? I don't really keep up but when people bring up weird anime-only stuff it feels like it's always limited to the first few seasons, Ash-Greninja notwithstanding.

>>58509540
No

>>58509076
DS hacking has been taking off for like 8 years now and GBA hacking is still better. Even after the first big DS hacks are released people are going to continue making GBA hacks so I don't think it will replace the gen 3 games any time soon.

>>58509537
>IVs
Pretty sure they don't have higher than usual IVs. Could be wrong, but i CBA to look through the code right now. Mr. Luck was a mistake.
>irrelevant for debuggers
more like irrelevant for literally anyone who isn't a masochist, there's a password that sets all IVs from all wild pokemon to 31, only things it doesn't affect are the Terajuma Password teams and the Shadow Pokemon you can snag
>unsavescummable
Weird thing about that is that there's a call at the start of the event to randomise which one you get if the value is 0. Set Variable 776 to 5 for birdmoth.
>speaking of barely obtainable
Turns out you can get Aegislash through an exploit rn kekw, don't pick up the Snubbull in Goldenleaf and then when it's Pearl Route time you can steal Melia's for your own.
>picrel
behold, beta Rift Aelita

>>58509518
That doesn't really matter because even if romhacks can do all the same things, it's easier to do those things in essentials and devs will still prefer it.

>>58509692
shitdevs will prefer it

>>58509663
what the fuck
>Terajuma Password teams
pretty sure that at least one of the teams you'd get from that password could contain a mon not otherwise obtainable
now one of those mons, I'm sure you can guess which, had a signature move that caused crashes in doubles because of poor coding
first thing i'll do when i start modding v14 is deleting all the "testers" from the credits since, as evident from half the fucking game, they don't actually exist

>>58508641
>Holy shit, how come nobody thought in this before?!
Not a hack (unfortunately) but here's some art (not mine ofc)

lmao

>>58509410
but nothing will ever happen

>>58509728
Let's see...
>Lucarionite and Decidium-Z are only obtainable by starting as Aevis
nope
>Aevia gets nothing special
bruh
>Ariana gets a Blaziken but no Blazikenite because she uses a Mega Altaria
kekw
>Grimmsnarlite is only obtainable by starting as Axel
nope
>Partner Pikachu is only obtainable by starting as Alain
huh.
>Salamencite is only obtainable by starting as Aero
nope
Partner Pikachu caused crashes??????? jk

I know that you're talking about Ana because of its Dragapult, but the Terajuma password is intentionally incompatable with 9494 so you don't have the option to pick its team.
>it
ana is a robot, wouldn't want to misgender it
>testers
all fights are playtested through the debug menu (if that) instead of actually through the map events that you fight them through under normal conditions, the team is incredibly fucking bloated and Jan refuses to tell any of them about his deep lore, which is the main reason why updating takes so long
contrast this to Ame, who fully admitted to the dev team that it was all a LARP and worked on everything in V19 at the same time to speed it up

>picrel
behold, Beta Crescent

>>58509900
oh my bad

>>58509076
Considering everyone insists on hacking HGSS, and not touching Platinum at all, I wonder how long it'll take before someone tries to port Sinnoh over to HGSS, just to take advantage of the HG-Engine.

Funny thing, if you import an expanded pokegra.narc from a HG-Engine rom into Platinum, and force encounters with pokemon after 493, the game WILL actually load them, (albeit with glitched data). Makes me wonder how easy it would be to expand the dex, by just importing everything else, and telling the game to keep reading after 493.

>>58495575 (OP)
This scene is so disappointing.
>I just back ported all 1000+ pokemon to the crystal engine!
>well I just remade red/blue in the DS engine
>haha well I just remade Etrian Odyssey on the ruby/sapphire engine!
Have you… considered just making a good game? I mean honestly. Not a single good game has ever been made by ROM hackers.

>>58495575 (OP)
Hacks are quite pathetic currently and most on same vein.
Not even joking was checking a hack but since it was giving so little experience and just to the first pokemon o got from the start i decided to use save edit with suddenly all tje npc going "you are a cheater start a new game to enjoy this master piece" which is just pathetic is kinda like emu devs blocking the emu from being edited using reshacker so they cjange to other stuff and put some trap so the emu can't be used if user changed the exe icon despite going the whole gnu/gpl but not giving freedom to change the stuff.
I just want something different with current mons.

>>58510412
Backporting is fine as long nothing gets broken and is balanced yet nothing is like that.
>download hack.
>notice the exp won is 1/5 of what should win
>ignore and keep progressing story
>lvl 80 pokemon outside second town pummeling me.
>ignore it and reach cerulean city

>decide to use save editor and give myself lot of items
>mons don't show up after save editing
>every npc goes cheater and saying to start again
>gym leader goes "you can't cheat!! You have to play this game as it was intended"
Only advice to fire red extended hack dev is "get over yourself!! Your hack is unbalanced shit but i bet you plsy nuzlockes hence you think is balanced and good" and most are similar, like if it was a big deal using save edits or similar to avoid wasying time or simply porting older mons that you caught on red and gold which i do (why wouldn't i simply port mew or entei or lugia).>>58510662

>>58510662
>>58510724
>Fired Extended
So it's another Radical Red. So sick of this shit. Can we call it Radical Cancer?

>>58510888
Funny thing they call it radical and most think
>this will have dirty jokes
>this will have sexier radical sprites
>this will be the best pokemon game
But it fails in everything even balance but they need to force their bad experience on others thinking most will be like them using rng seed and using nuzlocke so go using anti cheat to show their masochism.
Even clover suffer from the same stuff.

>>58510412
>Have you… considered just making a good game?
I did, when are you playing it?

>>58498673
I haven't played in a LONG time but it still is Light Platinum, I have some fond memories of playing it after school.

I get the appeal of Unbound, but holy shit when I was playing I expected a lot more from it. It isn't the best rom hack ever made nor is much better than the official games, I hate the DS sprites they're ugly and dumb on GBA rom hacks, the side quests are not good, having Pokémon from all generations is dumb, and the story is not that great nor is finished.

I've been busy with ZA but anyone check out the XD/DX directors cut hack? I've always wanted more gamecube hacks and this one seems solid

>>58511099
>I hate the DS sprites they're ugly and dumb on GBA rom hacks
this, people seem to consider the DS sprites as nothing but a straight upgrade to the GBA ones, how could you possibly prefer the look of the GBA ones right??
But really, the DS sprites look really jarring to me.

>>58511192
I think it's mostly a consequence of wanting visual consistency with Gen 4-5 mons that get backported into GBA hacks more than anything, and the alternative of making over a thousand custom sprites that share a uniform style is simply too much effort in comparison.

>>58511252
you shouldn't be porting that many new mons to begin with.

>>58511252
I don't see an issue with porting popular mons to gba, but i don't see a meaning to adding all newest mons if there is the game that had those mons.
But if consistency was the main at least everyone should simply use as base the japan hack that adds all the mons to keep everything consistent in style and use that as base for your hack, but nope no one does that and will go in porting things themselves just because and end up doing something faulty (even if the japan hack has all added and the sprites are good DS ports).
Was checking a new hack released a few days ago and...
>start game and choose mon
>notice changes to map and added story (kinda rooting to see how it goes)
>notice mons have hugher spawn rate (less steps for battle).
>ignore.
>suddenly a trainer (that was npc before) starts battle, has 2 pokemon, barely win by luck.
>keep going and another trainer, barely win again.
>near the city to pick oak parcel there is a new rival also has 2 pokemon, have no potion at all and 3 hp so assume "i reached the city so will spawn in pokemon center" lose battle, go back to house "huh!?".
>go back and level up , near city lvl 10, again rival fight thinking will be easy, fuck it his mons leveled up as well.
I think either trolls are doing romhacks or forever alones that play alone doing nuzlockes because no way you will do that if you are sane.

>>58511585
What romhack?

>>58511617
One of kanto something, dropped it after seeing that.
Wait did you meant the japanese one? That one has no name at all and is mostly something like
>543 for fire red leaf green and ruby, sapphire and emerald.
>872 for blah blah blah
And so on, i think currently is 1XXX or similar for fire red/ leaf green and the others (don't know how many pokemons are in the current dex) still in development along moemon counterpart for that patch.

>>58511703
Thx anon

any hack that doesn't have reddit energy?

>>58512294
no
not even clover

>>58509811
holy shit that's fantastic, I wish it was real

up

>>58512294
Pokemon Vega

>>58510983
Clover's is funny. It doesn't do anything, until you're at the Champion. And then you get taken away to jail if you hacked in Master Balls or Rare Candies, the only thing you can do in there is use the noose and kill yourself.

>>58511585
>"i reached the city so will spawn in pokemon center"
this literally only happens in Johto, only for Cherrygrove City, and it's to prevent a sequence break. git gud faggot
>Level scaling
nevermind this game is dogshit, this isn't even appealing to nuzlockers unless you were given pokeballs before handing Oak his parcel, if you were then why the fuck didn't you catch any mons

>>58512986
Only the original JP version, any and all versions based on the translation are reddit as fuck.

>>58513061
Based, Vega Minus (with extra fairies) is kinda dogshit
Really we need Procyon/Deneb translated

>thousands of kino fakemon art
>thousands of fan game hacks/ROMs

Fuck my nigger life I hate this. Only Xenoverse had cool , pokemon-looking fakemon.

>>58513310
Internet artists have a chip on their shoulder, they'd probably ask for monetary compensation to use their designs.

>>58513310
>Only Xenoverse had cool , pokemon-looking fakemon
Yeah and look what happened. dumpster fire drama between the devs and some artists near the end of the dlcs development.

Still doing digging on my own to find what I need and learn, but might as well ask here:
>is there a good guide on using one of the script editors for Switch games, like XYZText or PKNX?
>are the text files from github.com/projectpokemon/ sufficient, or do I need to pull something more raw from a rom of the game?

>>58512329
Knowing is in japanese os clear is real but the hack dev just made it for himself.
I have seen tons of japanese hacks on youtube and none of them has a download link or author sharing it.

Wonder who the fuck thought putting misty with lvl 65 mons was a good idea for their hack because clearly a schizo 4channer did it oh yeah and you can't use save editors.

>>58495575 (OP)
>Pokemon Vega
>Pokemon Vega-
>Pokemon Vega Fairy Edition EX
>Pokemon Viva Las Vega

>>58513055
And that's why any anti cheating is considered shit faggot.
But seeing you defending clover makes your stance quite clear, not even nintendo cares that much about save editing yet a random anon thinking he made such a good job that decides to put anti cheat so people can torture themselves with their shitty hack is pathetic.
And that's like most hacks available specially the ones that came from here, and while some do look fine author changed stuff just to avoid being recognized for their fetish or mental illness.
>guy goes making a hack
>decides to call it pokemon spades and clubs (says no inuendo intended).
>everyone jokes about being a hilda game.
>author changes sprites out of spite because his fetish was found out.
>still leaves hilda sprites in game.

>>58513482
>Glazed
>Blazed Glazed
>Golden Glazed
>Super Glazed
is the highest form of flattery for your rom hack that it starts getting it's own enhancement hacks?

Gatekeeping is based!
Why would I want your hack to just be a compilation of code from other hacks?

>>58513527
Kinda, they are somewhat old hacks
Granted afaik none of the vega enhancements add stuff like infinite rare candies or more modern stuff like pokenav (which imo is for the best in this case)

>>58513457
I doubt that's the case, pretty sure is just artwork... I don't remember the artist but I can find his pixiv or whatever, I'm sure it's somewhere

>>58513699
Found it
https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4145201
There's some Kirby themed Battle Network stuff from the same artist, pretty cool

>>58513482
I know most people swear by Viva Las Vega but I feel like that version just alters the gameplay too much. Putting all the postgame fakemon in the actual game is fun but kind of drains the point of the postgame scramble, and adding Procyon & Deneb stuff muddles it even more
Personally I recommend Vega-.

>>58512294
what is reddit energy

I've implemented a Fakemon that changes form depending on whether it's on the ground or in the water.
Land Form: 90/125/55/90/55/110
Sea Form: 125/55/90/110/90/55

>>58513754
Fairy EX does this too btw so there's that (it's also not particularly balanced, there's a mon from Procyon/Deneb with Wonderguard for some reason pretty early in the game)

>>58513743
He is showing his hack but not sharing it, quite normal.
There is a ghouls and ghost hacks that transforms arthur into female and that has bikini armor but author won't share despite having made quite a lot of hacks for snes, gba, ps1.

>>58513769
Anon can you please tell me what spot in the Pojedex Soarklad(Meran) and Demini occupy?

>>58513862
Pokedex* Sparklad*
I'd appreciate it

>>58513830
japs just do that kind of shit, the kind of neets who quietly work on their own personal projects for months or years and are content with sharing it amongst a few friends or entirely for themselves.

>>58513830
No, dipshit.

くそ

>>58513754
Isnt Viva Las just the postgame mons in the main game with some updated sprites? Fairy Edition is the one that adds mons from Procyon and an OC.

>>58513981
Nice reading faggot, he says "the game does not actually exist" which is an elegant way of saying "won't share anything at all" which several hack devs do even irregular hunter X hack dev (yes he uses that name while posting on youtube) yet you realize the truth if you have a brain, the reason of saying the game doesn't exist is simple yet effective no one will ask for something claimed as not existing and the author is kinda correct as long he doesn't share hack it doesn't exist so can show as many pics he want.
Even japanese modders are similar.
>modder shows a mod of mario for gta

I highly doubt that's the case, otherwise whoever made this has some insane knowledge about modding Battle Network
Unless I see actual gameplay then it's just a pretty picture

Sparklad is 404
Demini is 398
The thing is that they don't show up on the dex, the last entry in my game is Krookodile (375 with the National Dex)

>>58514300
Appreciate you bro, thanks!

>>58514098
youre right im mistaken, viva las vega brings in the updates sprites from procyon/deneb and adds the postgame mons into the main story, alongside rebalancing them to be more usable in said main story.
either way, i like the "rawer" feeling of Vega-, but I understand why people like VLV

>>58514118

But is mostly doing something too good for people that won't appreciate it which is true.

That was from a defunct spanish chan site, sadly lost forever currently.
English translation would be hard to get.

>>58513644
I've been around since the binary days and I'm inclined to agree. Decomps were a double edged sword. It's great having the game's source code blown wide open, but now it's created this environment where people just pick and pull shit from other people's repos, sometimes without understanding what the code does, leading to hacks being more homogenized than they already were. And then you have retards asking why a hack doesn't have this or that QoL from one of the thousands of enhancement hacks out there. It's actually fucked.
It was bound to reach this point with things like CFRU but decomps just sped it up.

>>58515363
To be fair there are some QoL that should be staple on any romhack, like Emerald Rogue Battle Speed instead of shit like Infinite Rare Candies just to appeal to hardcore nuzlockers or whatever
It's just that the word "Quality of Life" lost it's true meaning

>>58515144

Play emerald rogue. The only romhacks that respects its players

>>58510412
>haha well I just remade Etrian Odyssey on the ruby/sapphire engine!
Is that the case? Seems to me like a simple reskin/somewhat amateur homage.
But I agree with this, Romhacks are most stuff like
>FireRed but Harder!
>Emerald but Harder!
>Emerald but now it has all mons up to gen 9 on Route 1!
Which is certainly bad game design

>>58515446
*Most of the time
Granted the more original works are made on Essentials so that might be why Romhacks tend to converge towards enhancement/difficulty hacks

>>58514118
Kinda understand why he wouldn't share it, seeing that most hacks in chan sites get attention for 2 weeks top if is a good hack you get why someone won't share his stuff he worked over for months.
>pisces : no one cares or mind after being mocked for faggot design of male characters.
>spades : author lurks here so probably if mentioned enough he will post an updated version (like he did before).
>mariomon : no one cares about it currently.
>american censorship removal projects : no ones talks about it.
You kinda see the pattern.

>>58515459
>american censorship removal projects
What's the point of these? Like I'm not pro censorship but changes like Jinx's skin color are pretty much retcons at this point

>>58515363
its kind of funny how these days you can see a hack that has
>Fairy Type
>Every Pokemon
>Modern Moves/Abilities
>No HMs
>Mega Evolution
and whatever other qol is in these days, and the hack can still very well be poorly put together and unpolished, it's by no means an indicator that someone knows what they're doing anymore lol.

>>58515483
Is mostly translate as it should instead of american doing whatever shit to avoid references to drugs, pregnancy, alcohol and religion which is a still going thing even if nintendo japan doesn't care.
I wouldn't say censorship is bad but at least keep those small details of translation with inuendo as it was in japanese, i know it sounds weird the "masturball" but you can't deny is funny.

>>58515459
lmao nobody is making or releasing hacks for the attention of dead imageboards

>>58515407
im old enough to remember when infinite rare candies was considered cheating

>>58515407

>"hardcore" nuzlocke
>actually the furthest thing from hardcore because they completely avoid engaging with wild Pokemon (100% catchrate all balls, infinite rare candies, item that toggles unlimited repel to disable them once they've used up the encounter for that area, etc.) when the whole point of nuzlocke originally was that you could get your shit fucked by a string of bad luck from any average wild encounter

>>58515446
most people here (and in other places that aren't youtube comments sections) shit on enhancement slop all the time doebeit.

>>58515453
Essentials being more accessible means that the artists and storytellers of the world are obviously going to be funneled there instead of needing to cobble around and have all their ideas fit the limitations of the Gameboy Advance.
Although it does make for every rom hack that has the same level of care and creativity as an essentials game feel that much more special.

>>58515459
Spades & Clubs look awesome though, why wouldn't people give it attention when it drops?
Not to mention fakemon is an easy way to give a hack longevity.

>>58515363
>now it's created this environment where people just pick and pull shit from other people's repos, sometimes without understanding what the code does
This was already happening a decade ago but with pokecommunity asm threads instead of github repos.

Personally I see this accessibility as one of the best things about gen 3 romhacking, because it's one of the key reasons for why the community is so active.

>>58515660
>your barelly disguised fetish hack.
Well looks fine but still will be remembered as hilda game (even if author changed sprites) and nothing else, i doubt will be finished.

>>58515363
Is not even decomps, decomp would be like that emerald game running on unreal engine 4 or 5, most of what is used are stuff an authist hacked from nintendo servers to learn more about the game with community splitting between calling the info and everything related as "dirty" and others going the whole "decompilation project running on original hardware" but in the end is the same as notes give hints of how game could be changed.

>>58515574
The few sharing them is for their 5 fans on twitch or their 15 subscribers on youtube.

>>58515573
Ah yeah butchered translations, I can see how that's harmful to the game experience

>>58515660
Looks fine I guess, the average J2ME game looks like that though, dunno about the fetish stuff the other anons are talking
At least I hope it's decent

>>58515955
Looks better than*
Mind you I'm not trying to initiate a discussion about Graphics but calling it awesome might be a bit too much

>>58515626
Pretty much yeah, it's pure theatrics rather than a true display of skill/knowledge about the game
Mind you I think Pokémon doesn't NEED to be hard to be enjoyable but it certainly can be more challenging without resorting to level caps or illegal/overtuned teams

>>58515459
>Pisces
More like people got triggered because the devs didnt release the docs day 1 and got filtered by the difficulty because they couldnt cheat.

>>58515787
>Is not even decomps
Yes it is. No one is making romhacks from the gen 3 leaks.

>>58515826
Better the official shit that have issues mentioning a grown up drinking wine (which became a meme in japan communities).

>>58516011
people who demand things like documentation or code are annoying, I understand why those things are convenient for sure and I use docs myself but if a game doesn't have it I wouldn't consider that a knock against the game.
Let the creators have their fun too!

>>58515411
>gen 2
not remakes

>>58516020
>no one is making a PC game of fire red because they haven't decompiled shit so won't know how it works.
Is what i was saying.
>limiting hack to max size documented of gen 3.
>working only on original hardware.
>not using max rom size for GBA 128 MB or at least top official size of 64 MB.
Even super mario rpg hackers got around increasing rom size and is a special chip game, but most go too normal when it comes to pokemon.

>>58516092
Yeah, I guess they really don't want to move from GBA/Skytemple based games. In PMD's case they could use Shiren The Wanderer's engine which is way better but no

>>58516112
What makes it more funny is that the best hack of pokemon gba isn't even about pokemon since the chinese went making a whole digimon game using pokemon rom as base, even the gameplay is different.

>>58516177
Oh? Which one is it? Sounds pretty cool

>>58516232
I think is called digimon ruby or digimon ruri, kinda hard to know, it technically covers the whole 02 anime.

>>58516092
You don't seem to be very familiar with the topic.
1. FireRed is fully decompiled and you can find all the code for it at https://github.com/pret/pokefirered. There's no special part of it that is missing or beyond the understanding of people.
2. The lack of PC games is not due the lack of understanding the code. It's due to lack of motivation and the technical annoyances involved.
3. Staying within the limitations allows hacks to work on original hardware, which is cool. If you don't want that you might as well just use essentials.
4. The realistic max GBA rom size is 32MB. Good luck running anything bigger than that on all commonly used emulators.

>>58516251
Hmmm... looks interesting, thanks anon

Since nobody actually posted about it here, AphexCubed made a tweet about BB/VW2 Redux.
https://x.com/AphexCubed/status/1982593884321681906
He's basically implementing a better version of what the Renegade Platinum Elite 4 was trying to do, giving trainers a 'pool' of potential pokemon they can use, instead of just a fixed team. Seems like a neat idea that, for some reason, I haven't really seen in other hacks.

>>58516301
>realistic max GBA rom size is 32 MB.
Well you are wrong since gba has several 64 MB games which is why i mentioned official, technically it can go as up to 512 MB rom size working without issue but max tested is 128 MB (a european multi language game is 128 MB).
People not doing a PC game just means is just stolen code and will be taken down by nintendo if made into PC game, again the unreal engine emerald is proof of real decompilation vs stolen source code that will be taken down due to illegality of the port hence only gba port are made.

>>58516301
We're already at a point where people are willing to make custom emulator forks just to successfully handle their romhacks, like the one that supports the version of ROWE that uses all of the mons actual cries instead of working within limitation.
Gen 3 hacking will basically never have an upper limit as long as people are willing to push the threshold further back, that's how goddamned committed they are to never leaving this generation as a base for fan projects.

>>58516785
32MB is the most you can have without custom hardware in the cartridge. AFAIK most emulators don't support such things.
>Well you are wrong since gba has several 64 MB games which is why i mentioned official
Can you name any, other than the video carts?
>max tested is 128 MB (a european multi language game is 128 MB).
It's not. I own a 256MB GBA cart and I've tested it.
>it can go as up to 512 MB rom size
why only that much?
>People not doing a PC game just means is just stolen code and will be taken down by nintendo if made into PC game
I don't understand what you mean. All of the decompiled source code and assets for the GBA Pokemon games are already on github and nintendo hasn't bothered to take them down. I don't see why compiling them for PC would change anything.
>the unreal engine emerald is proof of real decompilation
I don't know which project you're talking about but it sounds like someone made an emerald remake from scratch in UE which has nothing to do with decompilation.

Romhacks with original story is so scarcely nowadays, it's always the same Fire Red/Emerald but LE HARD. Why can't people just make something different, they used to do this all the time back in the day.
I wouldn't mind a remake of Light Platinum using pokeemerald, or a Fire Red with Emerald tileset like Dark Violet did. Give me sequels and prequels of the OG games, or something with the side characters

>>58516906
DS hacking must be such a bitch

>>58516980
Be the change you want to see. Nothing will change with you sitting here complaining.

>>58516988
No, I'm too lazy to do that

>>58516996
There's no better time than the present to change that.

>>58516980
Because wholly original ideas don't get clout and ecelebs streaming your hack, and the only thing most people want is attention nowadays because doing it for the love of the game simply is not enough anymore, not in this internet age where "ANYONE can make it big!" and you have success stories left and right feeding people this idea that they just have to make the most appealing concept to the masses that they'll suddenly blow up in their niche.

>>58516980
>Scorched Silver
Johto sequel set 20 years after G&S, dexbloat hack but if you don't mind it exists
>Emerald Z
Not a sequel/prequel but takes emerald and enhances it (stay with me now) but adds over 100 fakemon (well done), minigames, tm crafting, shuffled leaders, etc.
>Orange Islands
Follows the Orange Islands plot, 4 gym leaders, lots of new sprites and tiles, the split, HM removal, and only the first 151 Pokemon.
>Pisces(?)
Technically a sequel to Emerald but only in it's story, it's very unique, some have criticized the fakemon designs and writing though.

>>58517008
It's true.
>spend years making an original hack
>it gets like 1000 downloads and a couple of videos

>>58516980
there's definetly lots of older hacks you could try, Battle Fire, Mythic Legends, Azure Horizons, Flora Sky, Genesis, Sienna, Vega, you mean to tell me you've played em all?

>>58517014
which hack might that be anon

>>58517026
Pisces

>>58517026
Peridot
I'm not that upset about it flying under the radar. The game was always intended to be a title by and for me and I'm grateful for the small audience I was able to amass, but I understand why someone else wouldn't want to spend the same amount of time and effort when they can just change the encounters and battles on an existing game and get 10x the playerbase.

>>58517009
>Scorched Silver
Already played it, pretty cool romhack that got me into Pokémon after dropping around the release of XY.
>Emerald Z
I have heard about it, though it only had fakemons but seeing that it has a few original mons I'll give it a try.
>Orange Islands
Finished?
>Pisces
I've heard about it, saw a couple of gameplay but I really disliked the fakemons.
>>58517015
Hate Fakemons. I'll give it a try to Mythic Legends, Azure Horizons and Genesis. Was Flora Sky updated recently? I remember playing a long time ago but I don't think i've ever finishing it. Which version of Vega should I play it? Am I forced to use fakemons?

>>58517026
Any hack that adds flavor of the month to be kept relevant and that's it.
Take the pokemon palworld hack, everyone mention it, lot of videos done, even dorkly using the sprites of the hack and it died because wasn't relevant to make videos since people made more by talking about palworld and the updates then a rom hack.
And is always that way specially now that most romhacking communities are dead

>>58517138
>Emerald Z
i feel like the fakemon are the main draw but if you hate them then aw shucks, this is nothing but an emerald enhancement hack for you
>Orange Islands
yes, covers nearly all the episodes (some as main story and some as side quests) and has an event for Movie 2000 https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokemon-orange-islands.402242/
>Pisces
Fair enough then
>Mythic Legends, Azure Horizons & Genesis
all pretty old, but they have recieved housekeeping updates to make them play better. But I would recommend Glazed for a hack thats aged better and Gaia/Unbound for hacks that are newer and more modern.
>Flora Sky
Is fairly old so if you played it even a while ago provided you played the whole thing it's likely to not have changed. It's still competent even in the face of being 15 years old but if you've played it once you don't need to play it again.
>Vega
The original release is notoriously difficulty with high level gaps and downright absurd coverage for big fights, Vega- turns the intensity down on both of those things, Viva Las Vega gives you access to fakemon that the original game saved for the postgame so you won't care for that, Vega Fairy EX gives you fairy type some new UI and fakemon from Vega's sequels Procyon/Deneb. You don't have to use them if you don't want to although the game is definitely built with them in mind, it's not one of those games where every route has 10 mons to choose from.

You could also try Dreams which isn't too old and has no fakemon and focuses more on characters/worldbuilding.

>>58517138
>>58517219
oh and also, Pokemon Peridot made by our lovely anon in the thread right now, new story, new rivals, all new region with some modernizations to not feel too archaic.

>>58516963
>the unreal engine emerald is proof of real decompilation
I think that anon is talking about Gamma Emerald (literally just an unreal engine 5 project filled with too much filters) that has NOTHING to do with decompilation

>>58516980
I can't say my project is super unique, since it's just another Gen 1 update, but ultimately what I'm doing is making my ideal vision of Gen 1, designed for a custom arcade machine. No difficulty bump or anything like that, just a more beautiful and fleshed out Gen 1.

The biggest aspect is a complete graphics package drawn natively for 512x384 resolution - a 16x12 grid of 32x32 tiles. By contrast, a GBA display is 240x160 - a 15x10 grid of 16x16 tiles. So 4x the pixel density per tile, with 512% more pixels overall.

The rest is just a mix of things that appeal to me, because I'm just making it my own use. So there's some rebalancing, some new post-game stuff, some narrative theming leading towards Gen 2. New areas, more places to explore, new environments (Route 15 is a grassland, Route 13 is a bog). Trying to instill a sense of culture, contrasting the rural "hickish" Pallet/Viridian/Pewter region with the cosmopolitan central cities, and those with the more mysterious iland isolated Lavender/Fuschia/Cinnabar through environment design and some dialog. Fun things like that.

>>58508653
i think im getting to the end here 0__0 once the entries start looking like this it may be time to change to Gen 2.

Pokemon Nameless has won. Radical Read will never recover.

>>58517138
Floral sky got a rebirth version(not made original author, I guess) with more pokemon in it but it become another bad difficult hack

>>58516980
Whatever happened to Light Platinum DS

>>58517987
still being teased lol, this was from april

>>58516980
because it takes more effort, that's literally it
why bother struggling against unwieldy tools and hardware limitations when you can just do a few tweaks to a basic dex hack and get poketubers slobbing on your knob for months
say what you will about essentials, but it lets you pretty easily add almost anything you could want without having to learn the ins-and-outs of the entire codebase first

>>58518061
Not even that, is just laziness and nothing else because is quite simple to do and tools are quite good (tested hexmaniax and was quite great while i modified a map making it bigger and i didn't even read documentation or similar just got to work) the only thing is you are limited to X size and X color palette but isn't a big deal which is why some go with essentials despite being an almost dead tool for years.
If some really wanted to add almost anything they could add full body portrait along costumes for character but nope most you see is a fanfiction and adding most pokemons but ignoring certain sprites while adding anti cheat (fuck they are annoying with that bullshit).

Does someone has visualboy advance M MFC svn r1509 searching that emu for a pokemon hack since sadly newest version will freeze (and that one was adviced on the youtube video of the hack) that one was better but sadly only build was by emucr but he has the links down (don't care if is old as long is between r1497 and r1509).

>>58518433
no
but here's a bump

>But I would recommend Glazed

>Dreams
I'll try it.

What happaned with pokemon DAVD edition, kinda curious.

is coral done yet?

>>58520169
lol no

Let's be honest most give up due to something changing but is clear who made X kind of hacks.
>under 13 years kids : hacks with lot of foul language due to them thinking that's adult.
>over 30 year old : hacks with lot of sex inuendos and sex themes the kind of "your poorly disguised fetish".
>between those ages : anything that includes troon shit and mental illness.
We could even play games to guess who made X hack.

>>58495575 (OP)
Pokemon is a dead meme of a franchise.

What's the point making any fangames or romhacks if the fandom won't play ANYTHING except:
>comfortably familiar "difficulty hack" slop
>2 hours of repetitive baby content stretched and overbloated over 200 hour games that took teams of 40 trannies 8 years collectively to make

My game won't be judged on the quality of its writing or gameplay, just whether it fits the tastes of tasteless slop-gobbling pigs at their trough.

Transgender hackers are really carrying this scene, definitely putting a Trans Rights Are Human Rights somewhere in my game, nobody worthwhile will be pissed at it anyways.

>>58521111
>suggestive image
Opinion discarded, in theory you make hacks out of passion/share your vision
Yeah sure it might not be recognized by any big youtuber or whatever but if you make a hack ONLY to try and get recognition them the problem is (you)

>>58521111
You make them because you want to play them yourself, dumbass. The whole point is giving yourself what Game Freak refuses to.

>>58521169
kek

>>58515660
That image isn't Spades/Clubs, it was just BW demake mockup the sprite artist made that for some reason one of the hack hosting website used as a screenshot. The actual hack has absolutely nothing to do with BW.

>>58521231
couldn't have put it better myself. of course i'll be happy if people play my romhack, but first and foremost i'm doing it for myself. i want to make what i'd have loved to play years ago and still would love to play today

>>58521169
More like no one will care and most will ignore that kind of bullshit.

I will make a Kanto game using pokeemerald, set 25 years after RBGY where you play as Red's kid with your rivals being Blue's kid and Ash's kid. Some cities will be really different while others will stay the same, the Gym Leaders will be mostly changed as will the Elite 4. The dex will have the first 151 Pokémon, next gen evolutions and regional variants.

>>58521305
so they accept it
same thing

>>58521400
>ignore it.
>he takes it as acceptance.
Tell me your address so i can sent you a handgun so you can blow your brains mental ill fag.
Nope ignoring sonething doesn't mean acceptance in any country (maybe a few controlled by jews).

>more puzzle skips (Garufa Sanctuary is used as an example)
>"i am going to add a GDC Skip password and a Karma Files Skip password later but this takes tons of effort to test so this will be coming in V14.1"

no signs of any new aevian forms

>>58517059
Peridotdev my man! Honestly I think the only thing Peridot needs is more awareness, not enough people know it exists or that you recently finished it. It's a beautiful hack, but underground. The only reason I even knew about it was because you told me about it personally a year ago or so. I know you said you don't care much about advertising or parading it around but still, I had a blast with it and look forward to my future playthrough.

enjoy it, the postgame is pretty fun, the asphere dungeon is intense but incredibly rewarding to nab him. How'd you like the base game? what's your team? Personally these were the games to change my mind on fakemon, can't get enough of this dex.
I remember there being some kind of quest where you have to find a bunch of stones for Bianca, word of advice just look up a guide on YouTube, there's a lot of them sprinkled across all of Alto Mare and there's no visual cue to select the tile that they're on.

>>58524418
>How'd you like the base game?
The story was kinda lame and very based on based Emerald, there wasn't enough changes and the main plot being Steven and Wallace being controled by pokemon takes away from their characterization, it could be done way better, creating full meaning integrating with the plot, but it was clearly an emerald based story after all.

>Actually I wanted to use more fakemon than I ended up using but couldn't since it was a pretty old game that I had to fill up with HM slaves in the end, so I couldn't get a well maintained team.

I really liked the designs and never had a problem with fakemon.

I played the Altair Minus version and I decide to play the Vega Fairy Ex next.

can you add in all of the pokemon that are found in kanto in hgss? it'd be nice to have more games with houndour and murkrow. probably more of a stretch, but you could make them harder to get, all of the gen 3 and 4 pokemon you can get in kanto in hgss through the radio like shinx, numel, and clamperl.

Wasted digits

I randomly remember Pokémon Azurite once every few weeks years later, and I miss working on the game, man. I'm so sad the project got virtually cancelled bc of internal drama and mismanagement. Just looking at all the artwork, music and plans we had hits me with a wave of nostalgia that makes me want to cry.

I keep hearing essentials is very unoptimized. How true is it?

>>58526001
Essentials is built on top of RPG Maker XP, so it suffers from the limitations of that software. But it's not that bad, later versions run the games decently well.

>>58525928
Post some of your favorite artwork anon

>>58526001
The problem with essentials is that it appeals to artist and storytellers way more than autistic codemonkeys.
Resultedly lots of essentials hacks are very creative with lots of original content but they also run and feel sloppy as hell.

>>58526020
Kaizure was probably one of my favorite Fakemon we had, both art-wise and lore-wise. We basically tried to expand on the Sinnoh Myth by adding a new legendary that Arceus created from the egg he was born from. This guy basically embodied the mechanic of the game (Crystallization, imagine our faces when Terastallization was revealed like 2 or 3 generations later lmao). Carefree Forme looks like Mew because of story reasons, it envied the freedom of the first Pokémon and copied its appearance because of it. Origin Forme is based on Jörmungandr, but I always found it funny how similar it ended up to Rayquaza in some aspects haha.
When the project got canned, Cowctus uploaded most of the artwork, concept art and some internal lore documents to GitHub (with permission obviously). It doesn't have the music, but I could try to find it somewhere and .zip it, there were some real bangers. https://github.com/Cowctus-Archive/The-Azurite-Archive/tree/main

>>58526009
>>58526029
I see. Does it like, causing your PC to heat up or something? eating up lots of memory etc?

>>58526129
Nah, it's just that RPG Maker XP is a very poorly optimized engine. It was made in 2004 (released for Windows XP, as the name implies), so badly optimized engine + shitty compatibility issues + Pokémon Essentials being a really heavy plugin = a disaster when it comes to performance. It won't blow up your PC, there will just be a lot of lag independent of your specs.
Later versions of Essentials use MKXP-Z, which improves performance a considerable amount.

>>58526009
Problem is they try to run over dozens of events at once while not using certain libraries and scripts most familiar with rpg maker use, essentials doesn't even have the scripts addons that are quite known and used by any rpg maker game dev.
They could make something new in the style of 151t which runs quite well.

>>58526155
Why the FUCK haven't people replaced it with open-source Python yet?
I'd even take AI code over that relic.

>>58526318
See >>58516980 >>58516906 >>58516112 >>58517008
Romhackers really don't want to make new engines/add to or change the game at a fundamental level, despite how much "QoL" has been added there's still stuff missing like faster battle text boxes or Auto-battle/paranoic confirmation, stuff that where on games like SMT or Etrian
They don't want to innovate they want to make more iterations of the same gameplay formula

>>58526318
Rpg maker xp is good, sadly essentials has been dead for years so the few using it aren't aware of all the optimizations and service pack scripts that improve rpg maker xp quite a lot but as someone said most of the artist kind will go with essentials even if they don't know shit about the engine because they aren't coders.
Python is shit always has been but there aren't many options, well seeing how they are stuck with limited stuff is clear they don't care.
>can use rpg maker MZ
>can add higher quality assets
>improved gameplay
>customization with lot of scripts
>code in java

>>58526540
Same goes for Essentials stuff: "it just works, so why should we make a better engine?" Realistically projects like Infinite Fusion would benefit the most from having a custom engine rather than trying to fit within the limitations of Essentials (granted that game as a fuck-ton of terrible design and management decisions)

>>58526540
Why would i break something that isn't broken?.

>>58526559
Sure but that's the thing: Essentials is in a barely working state, it could be better in general, that's what I'm trying to say

>>58526318
It takes a lot of time to make a functional item that implements the basic functionality of Pokémon in a way that easily allows for people to add features and build upon stuff.
I've actually thought about it, but I didn't get very far into the project because of the amount of effort it'd take when I already have a full-time job and some other personal projects.

>>58526318
I believe PSDK is moving away from RMXP starting with Version 3.0.

>>58526543
But 99% of all Pokemon shit is custom code in Essentials anyway!
How hard can it be to feed it all into AI one important chunk at a time, then go through it as a team fixing errors and "why the fuck would the AI code it in such a roundabout way" moments?
I fucked with the PC Port of Mario 64 yesterday and added new Spyro-inspired moves and it just worked, because the engine didn't give a shit about console limitations or RPG Maker XP bullshit. Everything was in human readable code with no clunky bullshit UI.
But if you want a UI?
Just rip off LT-Maker, the retardedly-named Fire Emblem Maker!
GOD I WANT TO PLOUGH GARDEVOIR. WILL THIS DAMN SITE STOP CALLING MY POST SPAM

>>58526625
>GOD I WANT TO PLOUGH GARDEVOIR. WILL THIS DAMN SITE STOP CALLING MY POST SPAM
Lmao? Anyways yeah the Mario 64 PC port is an amazing example of what Pokémon projects could be

>>58525635
Maybe I'll change Ash's kid for Gold/Ethan's kid.
>>58525890
Maybe. I am planning on adding Mt. Silver where you may find a few johtomons, especially since Kantomons got evolutions and pre-evos in Johto.

>>58526644
Make Red's kid a rival and Blue one or Silver's the MC

>>58517487
Working on the tileset now.

The bulk of ground and nature tiles are pulled from HGSS. First I ran them through an upscaler for a first pass to smooth out curves and edges, now I'm manually painting in details, covering up artifacts, touching up outlines, and realigning/resizing as need be.

Buildings will be a different ordeal. For the most part I like the designs of HGSS buildings but I don't care for the strokeless 3D aesthetic, so they will be redrawn in a more traditional pixel art style. I will also take the opportunity to make unique Pokecenter/Mart/Gym designs for each subregion.

>>58526672
Going the Scorched Silver route? I don't know, I thought about it, that was even my first draft, you'd be Blue and Green's kid, you would interact with the Gym Leaders and important NPC who would talk about your father and grandfather's accomplishments like Daisy who would be the Gym Leader of Pallet, a Bug Catcher would be in Viridian Gym after Blue resigned, Brock who would talk about Oak helping in expanding the Pewter Museum, Agatha would be Gym Leader of Lavander by possessing some girl and talk about Oak, and so on. Hell, I might as well make the MC be the child of Elio and Lillie..
I'll have to think about it a bit further before I start the project

>>58527111
>Agatha would be Gym Leader of Lavander by possessing some girl
Ha. Gym Leader was beneath her in life so I can't see her slumming it as a badge jockey in death. You need a real trainer to do the grunt work but I could see her randomly taking over whenever there's a battle and they're DOING IT WRONG

Also which Oak is everyone talking about? Sam would be a fossil by then

>>58527111
That gym leader idea gives me a better thought. A leader who is possessed and uses only ghost types, but you fight him later on and he has a more regular party.

>>58517059
Just for you anon, I'll play your hack

>>58521390
>nostalgia dependant hack.
>don't try to be it's own thing.
And your hack was DOA, sadly if you can't make it good don't try.

>>58516980
don't understand why more hacks don't try to do fakemon, there aren't as many as people think, though i recognize it adds a pile of work.

>>58529219
Well, it depends. If it's just a few fakemons, sure, but designing even 100 of them is no easy task (if you're actually putting some thought into them, of course).

Best hacks with gens 7-9 mon? Stopped at Y but want to play something with pokemon made after that.

>>58529886
Play Sun & Moon, or go with Emerald Exceeded as it has every single mon and you can use debug mode but its the same Emerald shit with some minor changes. There's a demake of Sword and Shield with a few mons from Gen 9

>>58528005 Here playing through Peridot. Is Farfetched a day exclusive encounter, and is it found via surfing or wild grass?

>>58530419
>There's a demake of Sword and Shield with a few mons from Gen 9
is it good?

>>58530554
Route 1 at any time but night, but all day in the water because those encounters don't have a time of day modifier.

>>58530614
Thanks

>>58530625
https://github.com/TheSeaTree/pokeperidot/tree/master/data/wild
The maps aren't in order, but this has the grass, water, fish, and headbutt encounters.

>>58526644
It's your hack and vision at the end of the day anon, lots of people like Ash and the anime. I just thought it was funny seeing them all in the same breath.

>>58530587
Kinda I guess, I find it a bit ugly like all FRLG romhacks but it was kinda fun to play.
Oh, there will be a Sun Moon/Ultra Sun Ultra Moon demake soon made by the same team (?), so if you don't play the original, just wait for the demake to be released

Before the thread dies, I transferred the list I made into a google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mZrRXlkq0ZmBr7Zzglb1Zer_JuJoTUWckrtRP0ROWCU/edit?usp=sharing

I never made this with the intention of replacing the pastebin or even sharing it, I just wanted a list of hacks for myself that were
A) Finished
B) Not Enhancementslop
C) Not total kusoge
The blurbs and all the info is pretty slapdashedly put together, so if anyone has good changes to make I'd implement them. Maybe it's unnecessary but since an anon was interested I thought I'd share, and yes I should make a corresponding one for Gen 1/2 and DS hacks but I haven't gotten to it.

>>58530958
Good stuff, hope you keep adding to it.

new >>58531114

>>58531021
i consulted the pokecommunity hof, the pastebin, and hacksrepairman's blog to find stuff. There's a few more things I need to add:
>Glazed
>Sirius/Altair
>Sovereign of the Skies
but for the most part I've kind of run dry, if there is obvious hacks I've missed let me know. And as stated most of the blurbs I wrote having not played the hack, so I'm sure other people can write better ones.
>>58531119
im going to plug the doc in the next thread if thats fine

>>58531145
go for it buddy

>>58531145
I'm finding pokemon pathways pretty fun so far, though I just started. It also looks fairly polished, although they say it is not complete yet.

>>58531176
i'll note it down, maybe i'll add a list at the end for things that are WIP. I don't have as much time as I like for these kinds of things but I will for sure keep it in mind.

>>58530587
Well if you can read spanish or was it portuguese... well if you can read any of those languages play them.
They look quite good but the language barrier is what makes them less known and brazilians love to try to make the modern games on gba, well spanish and brazilian communities tend to have some stuff quite unknown like let's go pikachu, pokemon fire red legends and this was the original that had almost every myth and rumour of pokemon into it, then you have XY, ultra sun & moon, gen 7 with alola fire red, currently a legends Z-A but sadly quite unknown but by images they look good.

Thread's so page 10 nobody will know I'm stroking my shit rn.
