Thought on Pokemon Quetzal? It's basically Hoenn but with all the Pokemon from gen 1 to 9 and you can play as all the protagonists (from all gens) and other characters such as professor Oak, Kukui, Acerola, Sophocles and many more

>>59080123
It sounds like one of those bloated hacks that's made without any real direction. In Pokemon romhacks/fangames, especially in 2026, less is indeed more.

>>59080123
Too much shit for my personal taste

>>59080123
Option overload, I'm not autistic enough for it and I can't be bothered even if it has a Moemon patch because the Moemon version has the Radiants (Alt Shinies) and Radiant Shinies all default to the same few shades of red and grey.

I quite like it. Although I wish there was some options to change a few minor things like abilities and stat/retyping changes.
I like Protean and Libero but the nerf it got was ridiculous, I wish there was an option to change that.
And the stats/retyping changes, while I like that it didn't change anything, I wouldn't mind it having an option or maybe even a separated edition with changes in stats and types, I know it would be a bit difficulty and a pain in the arse to make changes to 1000+ Pokémon but alas, I think that would be cool.
But anyway, I keep playing replaying it with different teams and all that so I like it.

Its been a long time but its Kris-Anon again (if anyone even remembers). I haven't been around in months mostly since don't use VP religiously but also had some issues with my rom's code going kerblowey. Not a whole lot was lost and still have most of the graphics but will probably be moving to Emerald as an engine instead of FRLG.

Just have the first town and professor though dont want to keep your hopes up on gold reforged as not going to take place in Nihon (though might be a good idea for that).

Will feature the betamons and have sprites and even cries for them. Main region will probably be Hoenn since I am only one person and don't have the skill to map out an entire region from scratch just yet. A kind anon did make me the beta Kris sprites for the FRLG style.

>>59080631
Okay got it to work now.

Was really inspired by stuff like Rocket Red in the sense I really liked how it was a sidequel to FRLG. Where you both react to the events Red does but also stuff you cause also influences the world like being the cause of the safari warden losing his teeth. I wanted something like that where during your journey you are at times behind Red and the gang and other times you are ahead of them. Either reacting to the fallout of stuff they caused or you set up plot beats from the main game. The main premise is people pointed out that Kris is quite plain and its true but its why I like her design. The main premise I wanted to get across is that you yourself are an anomaly. Like an NPC that suddenly got very competent and because of that you start to throw off the game's story. Even some of the other characters like the professors realizing there is something off and you should not be there and catching up to their own child prodigies. Very important to note I do not want to make the professors evil or anything like how rocket red did. More so they are just dismissive and sorta had tunnel vision on their own proteges and hand-picked prodigies.

What’s your favorite Moémon hack? I love playing through them. Organizing a crack team of cute girls makes me feel like I’m playing a Precure RPG!

>>>/v/735450901
Reposting this here because i'm genuinely curious about it

>>59079545
I'm currently playing through Heart and Soul and am loving it! I don't really know my Pokemon games well enough to tell everything they've changed but so far the balance has been quite nice. I did end up losing two Pokemon to Bugsy due to hesitance to simply throw Quilava at the problem but the game has felt very fair. I'm very scared going into Whitney tho...

>>59081752
Made specifically by the Official Moemon team are Moemon Mega FireRed, Star Emerald, and all of the DS Moemon patches (exception being Heart of Gold)
The rest are usually just skin patches like Quetzal or Reborn

Hey Kris-anon! It's been so long, I was actually thinking about your project the other day, but was wondering if you shelfed it or got busy. Nice to see you're still working on it, Emerald definitely sounds like a preferable base. Good luck on the progress going forward.

>>59080631
>There was one guy here who was always nice to me. He was an anon obviously so dunno if he is still around but I always remembered his kind-words.
That may have been me lol, we talked about you making Munchlax the starter and ideas on expanding Kanto right? You were always very kind and nice to talk to as well anon, happy to see you around again :) seeing beta-kris's cute obscure design is always a treat.

>>59080772
I love the underdog stories, beta-Kris would definitely lose in a game of "spot the protag". Coming across Red randomly like in Rocket edition and even Emerald Kaizo then just having a brutal fight you shouldn't win is fun.
Any specific ideas you've been brainstorming in terms of new story beats and areas?

Wanna try a romhack. Only played a few. Sell me on Unbound vs Quetzal
I don't mind a fuckton of bloat but I dunno if Quetzal tries to balance it all out or just cranks the difficulty like radical red. I don't really know anything about Unbound

>>59082235
>Unbound
Classic romhack before the wave of Fire Red/Emerald but DIFFICULT, kinda cool story with a new region and things like that, some say it's the best romhack out there but I don't think so, if you like the DS sprites on GBA you'll find the romhack beautiful, if not...well, you know.
>Quetzal
It is just Emerald with everything from newer gens including Exp All, DexNav, PokeDex lets you learn at which level each Pokémon can evolve or learn whatever move you want, you can buy Vitamins, Evolution items, Z-Moves, Megas Stones in Slateport if you have them enabled, Level Cap, Megas from XY, ORAS and ZA, Dynamax, Tera Types, every single Pokémon including regional forms, Pikachu with a Cap, Partner Eevee and Pikachu from Let's Go, following Pokémon, you can play as all the protagonists from Gen 1 to Gen 9 with rivals added, some Professors, some Gym Leaders, Champions and Team leaders.
>balance it all out or just cranks the difficulty
No to both. All Pokémon have the same type, stats and movesets from the official games, as for difficulty you can choose from Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard and Very Hard, you can choose if NPC will use dynamax or tera type, you can enable debug mode, nuzlocke shit if you want or randomizer, there's also Radiants which is kinda like Shiny but there's lots of different radiants. No TM or HM, you can choose to teach them through the menu, same with Tutor moves if you enable them from the start otherwise they'll be unlocked by each Gym badge, you can makes Megas permanent so you can have a Mega Zard Y with Firium Z and Fire tera type all at once.
Postgame you can battle every single characters from the character selection like Red, Ash, Giovanni, Gold, Silver, Kris, Lucas, Nate, N, Calem, Serena, Alain, Florian, Elio, Victor, etc.
Easy Mode is like basic Emerald.
Normal Mode is where the AI is a bit smarter and can be a fun little challenge
Haven't tried Hard or or Very Hard at all so I can't tell how hard it is.

I like it but i also haven't played pokemons for 3+ years, otherwise i probably sick of another hoenn+ run. Mons appearing on the grass instead of random encounter+dexnav feature is amazing especially if you actually like catching mons and fuckton of settings to mess arround with.
I still want to batista bomb the dev for making postgame legendary hunting major pita

>>59082294
>but DIFFICULT

Unbound is piss easy without level caps, and generally doable with them on normal difficulty

>>59082049
Yep you did though now it will be in hoenn I guess not that people seem to mind. I might make a KANTO version in the future but for now sticking to Emerald but still going to have the main cast of Red and the gang as it was always going to be my love letter to the series so the MCs of gens 1-4 would be rivals you run into.

>Any specific ideas you've been brainstorming in terms of new story beats and areas?

In both versions Devon and Silph were going to be the main antagonists. Something I felt the rocket game did not even touch on enough and instead went with champion being the president/leader thing. The main plot beats I wanted to follow is sorta what Satoshi felt of how the urbanization of Tokyo and Japan sorta got rid of a lot of woodlands and his bug catching hobby. Wanted it to be that Devon and Silph were slowly chipping away at life in the pokemon world and muscling in more and more on local communities and people's lives. A lot of the evil gangs in pokemon mostly starting either due to canonical things like how ORAS reveals the Mauville company and its abuse lead to the creation of Aqua and Magma so pokemon already had a precedent for this. The main reason the professors take such issue with you winning and getting close is they have money-stakes in the pokemon league and get funding if their child prodigy does good which is why their stance against you. As why Devon+Silph hates your guts I will leave for when the actual rom is made but they have a different reason for hating Kris and her existence. A lot of the themes I wanted to portray is since Kris is going to be canonically mute as a nod to the mute Red trope, because of that a lot of people reveal their true colors around you and that of the world that the main protags may not get to see being sheltered and more innocent.

What do you guys recommend for starting a romhack? Not so much tools but where do you start after mapping out your game on paper? Making the Pokedex, making the actual maps, doing NPCs and dialogue, sprite work, etc. Where do you recommend starting?

>>59082794
Learn how to actually do those things in Essentials/Decomp. If you already know how then it's normally
>Maps
>Sprites
>Core dialogue/story
>Pokedex
Since you can't have dialogue without sprites, and can't have sprites without a map. Things like NPC chatter/NPC side content should always be among the last things you do. Pokedex should match the maps, so that comes after. It's easier to adjust your dex to the maps, rather than adjust maps to your dex.

Playing Quetzal and realized my entire party has wooping 0 friendship. Did they change how it works?

>>59083039
>Sprites
>Core dialogue
Actually, it's probably best to reverse these two. You can use the games default sprites as place holder before you finalize their design. Since you can probably get a better idea of how you want certain characters to look once you've fleshed their dialogue out.

Yes. There's degrees of autism.

Nice, for a minute I was wondering if you were planning to recreate Kanto in Pokemerald like Jaizu did on Recharged Yellow, but going through Hoenn and seeing all the familiar cast would be interesting. Dawn and Lucas will make an appearance too? They are from the "Japanese" regions and the home of Munchlax, so that makes sense.

I love the idea of those big corpos being the villain, in Kanto they were portrayed as victims and similarly in Hoenn with Steven Stone even being the heir to Devon. Kanto being an industrial land filled with poison types, pollution, and abandoned places as well as Hoenn's lore about Mauville are good premises. I actually forgot about some of the ORAS exclusive exposition after all these years, but it makes perfect sense and could easily be expanded upon, especially with how the careful balance between nature and humanity is portrayed in Hoenn, even through the map itself.

The darker tone and behind-the-scenes look on the regions events as well as the personalities and hidden motivations of even the benevolent professors being different were so fresh to see in Rocket Edition. I'm looking forward to seeing your more measured approach to it, since Rocket Edition arguably takes it to an extreme. I may have to incorporate some elements like that in my own project when the time comes. It'll be fun seeing the world through the eyes of someone who should just be an npc, who should be irrelevant and beneath notice.

Happy you're keeping some stuff a surprise. If you ever need any advice, ideas, or advice I'll try my best to provide. Btw, we talked about difficulty levels too right? Do you know what level you're aimingfor on that? I was thinking of having at least 2 difficulty setting in my project, one for the "casuals" (maybe Drayano hack tier) then something harder, Radical Red level even.

>>59083762
It depends on what you want. Shin sticks as close as possible to the gen 1 battle meta and fixes more bugs and glitches than any gen 1 rom hack. It also has a few unique extras like a colorized overworld and built-in options for randomized runs. Pure does re-balancing to moves, learnlists, and stats while going further into visual improvements and UI features. It generally focuses on improving the single-player experience over staying strictly compatible with the 1998 gen 1 era.

There a good Pokemon Black romhack you guys recommend? Been wanting to replay it but idk which romhack to choose.

I wanna get into playing more pokemans, but I don't really know the type weaknesses/strengths for most, if they're not spelled out for me. the obvious grass/fire/water are not a big deal, bug/ice type I can guess, but I have no idea about electric or fighting for example
is there a romhack that dives deeper into this?

Always love you find a Kris post. On the difficulty thing not sure if its in my skill set. A lot of these guys do get help from Pret but I found it really had to get them to even acknowledge me. Dunno if just they are cliquey or what and they are all friends so sadly I am single-manning it atm. So its going to be normal at least since no idea how to do it.

Saw a rom hack called pokemon Emerald horizons that is sorta similar. Has stuff from the anime even if its Hoenn like they added a Rocket take over of Devon and have the Venasaur secret garden event. Stuff like that makes me motivated and not mind using Emerald as a base. Probably going to still add new areas and think you were the one who told me of the Gary's Mod rom hack where you play as Gary.

The game I want to be a love letter to the series so was always going to have the main protags as rivals and encounters you run into. To show examples of what I or trying to do:

The rocket mt moon storyline will take place at Granite cave.

Rocket HQ in the game corner of Mauville.

Obviously something will go down at Devon corp towards the end of the game.

Hoenn I don't mind and its pretty but might make a version after this one where its set in Kanto. Think of it like my version of Gamefreak's version instead its just a different setting and map layout instead of different mons. So that in the future people can pick their favorite region. And yeah Lax is still the starter and star. You will get to pick an elemental starter though in addition to your Lax as well though.

I'm not, but I guess I'll give it a shot and see it for myself.

Are there any Pokémon romhacks that use the 3DS style or Engine?

what are your thoughts on baby pokes?
i don’t feel like adding some of them to my game, like pichu or igglybuff, only pikachu and jgglypuff, for example. at the same time ido want to add magby and elekid but i have mixed feelings about this because it would be weird for some pokes to have their baby stages included in the game while others don’t, like a continuity issue if you know what i mean

Anyone else getting a little fed up with this guy?
The project looks great and I'm thankful for his work but it feels like he keeps fucking posting "legendary encounter areas" and random odd areas not in the original game, how about you just finish the actual damn region and THEN dick around with your OC routes?

>>59080123
>It's basically Hoenn
That's the issue. All of those features and options and QoL, just for the game to be, at it's core, Pokemon Emerald. The romhack scene would so much better off if the effort that went into cramming as much shit as possible into Pokemon Emerald went into actually making fresh experiences.

>>59085690
Problem is, that takes effort, and no one wants to do effort unless they can get clout from ecelebs streaming their hack and then making a Youtube highlights video. And ecelebs won't touch new regions unless it's majority Fakemons or a total dex swap, so that demands even more effort.

>>59085690
I'm the guy making the Kris thing from above but I sorta agree. A lot of stuff is just reinventing Kaizo Emerald since its rather easy. The game is built for you with expansion and I swear some do it just so a famous poke nuzlocker streamer will hopefully pick up their hack. Its rather easy and low effort so its why you see Emerald (adjective here).

>>59079545
Does Pokemon Essentials have a cloning glitch or a way to copy a save and do trades? I'm thinking about doing a living dex, but the problem is what I'm looking at has a legendary that evolves which would mean I cannot have both.

>>59085660
Nope. It's where his motivation is right now. It's harder to work on normal routes for the region when you are inspired to work on an OC route. Unless you're funding him, shut up.

>>59080123
Seems like the general opinion here is that they want new regions and story as opposed to Emerald yet again. And that's fine. It's just that gen 3 engine is the easiest to work with, but region editing does take a lot of effort. I'm personally okay with Emerald but with sprite customization and followers. Not sure if that's going to make me play it, but if I want to play Emerald again I may just play Quetzal instead. Having up to gen 9 is nice. Due to the sprite customization. Seems nice for people who want to roleplay those characters in Hoenn as well and theme teams. Follower sprites are cute and I'd rather have them than not. If you're looking for something that isn't Emerald than Quetzal isn't what you're looking for.

>>59085701
Indeed. And I think it's quite a shame, pokeemerald is already doing half of the work, yet developers just make the same boring emerald but harder everyday...
That's why I'm just glad that we had Scorched Silver, Spanish Rocket, Lazarus, Odyssey, Royal Sapphire, Dreamstone...
>>59085797
>Due to the sprite customization. Seems nice for people who want to roleplay those characters in Hoenn as well
Yep. I've been replaying it almost everyday, I already beat with Ash's Gen 1 and Gen 2 team as well as his Journeys Team, Blue, Silver, Red, Lance, Oak, Kris, Alain, Wally. Currently I'm switching between a Yellow and Brendan runs too. I'd just wish there was an option to skip Team Aqua and Magma stuff, but they aren't that bad in the end and you can easily skip Team Aqua's hideout section by teleporting to Mossdeep too

>>59085772
Another solution that I would accept is if I can edit the files to remove the legendary status to make it so they can breed. I think I actually may be able to figure this out.

Just for you hehe, I love having a reason to post her as she's one of my favourite protag designs easily. I'm only sorry I don't have more beta-Kris to post for you, she's rare and elusive like a shiny mon.
>A lot of these guys do get help from Pret but I found it really had to get them to even acknowledge me
Sorry about that, I wish I knew how to help. Maybe directly asking devs of games with multiple difficulty options would be more efficient, but idek if it's an idea you'd be interested in. Seems like something to worry about much later in development anyhow.

>Probably going to still add new areas and think you were the one who told me of the Gary's Mod rom hack where you play as Gary
Indeed, shame that one never got completed... lots of potential there. The stuff added in Emerald Horizons does sound cool, as for new areas in the Hoenn region... Inclement Emerald (and Elite Redux by virtue of using it as a base) added several area expansions and some new side areas if you wanted to look at that. I think Altered Emerald does too, but never played it.

I think you also mentioned adding different seasons to Kanto in the past right? Elite Redux did that in its latest patch, alongside some custom tilesets (it's also supposedly going to overhaul the Hoenn region in future updates). Overworld cosmetic updates like that can go a long way in making familiar regions feel fresh imo, just look at the noise that Seaglass drummed up off aesthetics alone.

>Spoilers
Some nice parallels there. Honestly, a few of those locations could use fleshing out to make them more memorable Devon Corp especially, it doesn't need to be a dozen floors of warp hell like Silph, but as it is it could use something. Maybe a basement off-limits to visitors? I wonder.

Agreed Hoenn is pretty, much more so than Kanto.
>Think of it like my version of Gamefreak's version instead its just a different setting and map layout instead of different mons.
I applaud your ambitions anon, that's MUCH more unique and transformative an idea than Gamefreaks "versions". Depending on how much you do intend to change in Hoenn and Kanto I hope you don't burn yourself our going for both.

Is there any way to keep up with your updates outside of /rheg/ (especially if you stop posting here, which trust, me I get)? Got a game name yet? Discord? Even a personal one? Also, sorry for yapping lol, broke the word count haha.

>>59085701
>>59085707
It's not that ecelebs won't touch an original region, it's that the ecelebs in the Pokemon romhack space are almost all nuzlockers that pretty much only play games designed around a nuzlocke experience. For example, the popular nuzlocke game of 2025 was Run and Bun. Now, 2026 it's Platinum Kaizo. And both of those games were designed by nuzlockers, for nuzlockers. If a gamer had a custom region where the game was balanced for nuzlocking, I'd be certain that like a guys like Moxi or Squerk would play it. However, the reason you don't actually see new region nuzlocke hacks is because modern nuzlocking doesn't need a new region, it only needs new puzzles to solve, and you don't need to touch any sort of event/map scripts or make a new map to make a Pokemon experience curated to eceleb nuzlockers.

Now honestly, I don't think it's eceleb influence. I just think people get "inspired" to make a Pokemon romhack, see that the "big" romhacks are either things like Inclement Emerald/Emerald Kaizo or Pokemon Odyssey/Seaglass, and then they realize that making a hack in the vein of Inclement Emerald/Emerald Kaizo is much, much easier than an Odyssey, so that's the path they end up taking. Hell, wasn't there some discord drama recently or something about a guy taking the pokeemerald decomp, changing some trainers, and calling it a romhack?

All in all, I don't even think that a new region is even necessary for a fresh experience. Doing something different with an existing region is enough. Change how the game starts, change the story, etc. No need to make new maps, small changes to existing ones to fit story narrative.

Just beat Unbound's E4 for the first time. Great fucking experience, feels almost unfair to have a game like this for free on my phone.
Biggest regret was playing the game on difficult. Good challenge for the bosses in the early/mid game and then a complete breeze.

>>59086345
There's also the fact that Drayano's hacks were/are very popular, and are often the gateway into Pokemon romhacks for most people, so that's probably playing a factor too

>>59086345

butterfree learns confusion and can learn psychic, and bug/flying is dogshit
victreebel is dragon/grass because it gains sharp teeth, a whiplike tail, and dragonlike slit-pupils on evolution, as well as the concept of a mandrake plant being rooted in the word drake.

I don't care if a typing is dogshit man, I want them to keep their vanilla types. How is this so hard to grasp? The Victreebel reasoning is especially the stupidest shit I've read and I have Nepenthes I take care of.
>B-but you can turn it off
I don't care, it's still a dogshit change and I wanna make sure anyone in this thread understands that changing types of Pokemon without them even being some regional form or whatever is complete and utter dogshit.

>>59088587
Not exactly. Reforged is like an "enhanced" version that replaces most of the graphics with new ones.

Luv type changes. Keep adding them

what do you guys think about fossil pokemon in the wild?
i plant to add a deep sea zone so there would be some kabuto (horseshoe crabs) available in there. also a lake in a grand canyon zone with anorith (brine shrimps)

>>59088619
I wouldn't really mind it but I would definitely notice it, if you had an NPC that said something like

I think I'd like the worldbuilding

Like the other anon said, make up some justification for them existing in the wild. It doesn't really matter what, but having random fossils that you can encounter with no reasoning would be weird. On a similar level to if you just had a starter appear as a 30% encounter on some route.

I love that, Clefairy line is one of my favourites, I remember you were deliberating between it and Munchlax. I mentioned Jaizu before, he made a separate version of Recharged Yellow called Recharged Pink where Clefairy follows you around which I appreciated. Was waiting for the Sevii Islands to be added before giving it a whirl.

>I do have a discord actually and even have a server full of stuff I use for rom hacking and modding.
Nice, sounds like you've got things going in full gear.
Wanna add me then so I can keep up with your progress? I don't care if it's slow or non-existent, but I do feel invested at this point. You're also very nice to talk to Kris-anon :) you can add me @starryskiesfireflies if you want

>Kris is a great character, I want to add costumes so you can pick Beta Kris and blue hair Kris and even Manga Kris as different sprites to use for whatever you want or like
I love character costume options, encourages and gives replays a nice new flavour. Hoenn is a lot more diverse in terms of geography and sights than Kanto, but some fall themed or snowy areas would be a welcome addition if you ever wanted to try that. An anon mentioned Cherry Blossom trees then too, that would be amazing.

>>59089059
Don't you need a Fly user

>>59089161
all you need in polished is a pokemon that can learn the HM to be able to use it, and scizor can learn fly (for some reason). Flying IS a good type though, and i'm debating skarmory, crobat, or gliscor

>>59089169
Fly on Scizor is for all the Little Timmies mindbroken about their Scyther not learning it.
>B-but, the Pokedex says-
Screw it.
That selection is pretty elite. I'd want to go for Gliscor personally since I love the novelty of cross-gen evos in gen 3, but that overlaps with Mamoswine. If you double-dipped any typing though then ground would be a good one. You go good coverage for their shared weaknesses anyhow.

>>59089169
>scizor can learn fly (for some reason)

Try Prism, Peridot, and maybe Glazed.

>>59089201
wonder trade is fine but locking all your good mons behind an rng gacha mechanic is kind of retarded.
I liked some mons like the Fire/Grass Trevenant and Psychic/Poison Shiinotic but it just felt kind of miserable trying to build a team of 6. The starter options are also terrible. I will say the game's regional type changes and regional version sprites are good. Fairy/Dragon Hydreigon was really cool.

Any hack that fixes the HM slave issue works for me.

>>59079545

You are extremely autistic but I also agree. People say Drayano's hacks tend to be the middleground between vanilla and Radical Red with how much shit changes, but I've been looking for the middleground between the middleground. Too many enhanced or remastered or "+" versions add too many bits and bobs and unusual changes for my liking. Keep those fairies OUT of my DS games.

I'd love rom hacks probably but there seems to be so few that do slice of life adventure like gen 1 and 2 over mixing around encounters / types / difficulty

>>59091784
They're rarely discussed here, but it sounds like fangames might be more up your alley

>>59090203
and yet so little quality to be found.

>>59091784
That's kind of the way it's been for years now. The romhack scene is oversaturated with (insert base Pokemon game here, usually Emerald) but all pokemon catchable, or higher difficulty, or all of the gimmick features from gens 6-9 (mega's, dynamax, z-moves). Pokemon romhacks are already pretty niche, but back when this hobby was even more niche, most new hacks had a new region design, a curated Pokedex, a new story. Obviously, some, or most, were edgy, bad, and terribly unbalanced, but you could tell there was, for lack of a better term, soul.

Nowadays, there's more and more hacks being released, but more and more hacks just look the same (mostly because of oversaturated Emeraldslop). I couldn't tell you the difference between Inclement Emerald, Emerald Enhanced, and Emerald Kaizo. Every hack these days feels like it's either a difficulty hack or just a base game with a national dex.

>>59091860
NTA but fangames always have that uncanny feeling of "this doesnt feel like Pokemon" to me, I dont know if its due to the engine or the overall graphic quality but it simply feels terrible to play.

>>59091919
I'm playing Puffy Pink right now and as I zoom through it at x10 speed muted I'm left wishing it had an original map and story and it wasn't literally Fire Red with Kirby enemies.

I remember playing brown version back in like 08 or some shit and being so curious at the whole different map. One of the early towns even had a single patch of grass that had a Hitmonchan and it was way cool to stumble into that. It's so incredibly lame that most hacks are literally the exact same map as gba/ds titles

>>59091926
agreed, they all feel like something i'd play in a browser, i can't illustrate the feeling but its as if they're all missing some kind of friction to how they play

>>59091919
was there not like half a dozen new region hacks released last year?

>>59091919
>>59092006
I feel that if you’re going to make an enhancement hack it needs to have new areas to explore and substantial changes to most pokemon for it to be worth playing over the already established ones.

>>59092111
Yeah. The pokewalker routes for polished crystal was what recently sold me on trying it, and I kinda want more of that stuff. One thing I've learned after looking at years of romhacks is most people are pretty bad at level design. But I also want people to keep trying, cause good ones are worth it.

Yes, and adding the new babymons excluding Chingling, Budew, and Riolu. Hoping to reintroduce an Odd Egg-like event and not just toss them in the grass
>Allow gen 2 Pokemon to get their Gen 4 evolved forms
Yes and you're not going to get all gen 4 evos as soon as you catch them, but definitely before victory road. Looking at you, Weavile. I also want to make stone evolutions less of a nuisance to acquire without being totally free by making them lotto rewards at Goldenrod Dept Store, different stones on each day of the week.
>Give gym leaders an ace that's an actual Johto Pokemon
Less of that specifically and more of slight touch ups that make their teams more cohesive and engaging with the buffed up regional dex. The goal here is to still have Pokemon bossfights; they're not gonna be Radical Red tier or even Drayano tier and the strategies will be obvious, but they'll be a bit more memorable. Stuff like the second gym having a full team of 6 isn't happening, and you can't really patch out Jasmine's Quilava-phobia.
>Maybe fix Johto's dogshit level curve
It's not going away entirely. But I want the trainer and gym leader rematches to NOT be timegated pains in the ass. The rockets might get a flat level bump in one of their encounters. I want to embrace Johto's freedom while giving the player more control with setting its pace, so you could knock out all the gym leaders asap or work up to a comfortable level. On that note, The RageCandyBar Guy will be annihilated. Fucking dick would never let me go to Ice Path.

>(from my limited knowledge) romhacks are very broad, from creating new fakemon to creating specific story scenarios, maybe there was one that focuses on this exact premise
>I know there are a few roguelike/lite ones, I assume something like that would be good but more accessible for noobs

I know of no romhack that focuses on teaching type match ups, but the harder romhacks you play the more that you're expected to intrinsically understand the type chart, as well as what moves do what, Ability and Item effects, and which Pokemon generally excel at what.
Pokemon is a knowledge game, first and foremost. Most of us just learned and memorized the type chart from playing over time.

That anons recommendation to play one of the gen 7+ hacks is good, that's when they started adding a feature where the game tells you how effective each of your moves is going to be when you encounter a Pokemon you've seen before.

For a general 7 romhack... I'd say Photonic Sun/Prismatic Moon by Buffel Saft. You might struggle a bit if you're a noob, but the vanilla games can be beaten by small children so pick your poison I guess. Good luck anon.

He's the Mew of the game and you can get him as soon as you get Strength so he's probably super strong. There's even less postgame than vanilla Fire Red though, no Sevii Isles or Elite 4 rematches or battle tower, it's just the first Elite 4 and a Cerulean Cave filled with Lv40 Pokemon

how broken was morpho knight

He was basically my MVP during midgame. Just a good typing and strong stats.The game tosses rare candies at you at every gym so you don't even need to grind legit (He's the Magikarp/Gyarados)

who's the Magikarp then?

This game was low effort shit (and the fact that I haven't bothered to play it for 4 years it proof of that) but this one fucking joke still kills me to this day.

>>59092091
Because you usually play romhacks on either official hardware, or a program that emulates official hardware. Games made with essentials/pksd use an RPGMaker engine, which takes away from the "feel". (Also speed up needs to be programmed in, which most fangame devs don't do.) I used to feel the same way, eventually I got over it, because there are some pretty solid fangames out there, and I didn't want to let something like the feeling of playing on a bootleg console take away from having a good experience

>>59091926
Essentials doesn't do a lot to mask the illusion of the player standing in place while the world moves around you. I think it's the timing of the animation and scrolling.

Thunder can't be THAT necessary

>>59096550
It's just blatant powercreep. Zapdos is already top tier in basically every gen it exists in. Making it have two 120 BP stabs and a third pseudo 100 BP stab with weather ball AND providing rain support for the team is plain greed.

>>59096550
Depends on the hack. If it's singles-oriented and it's supertuning multiple mons to make menaces like Mega Salamence look like an utter joke, then yes.
If it's doubles-oriented, it's completely unnecessary.

So yeah, 1.06 had a lot of bugs. They are all fixed now, so here's 1.06.2 More or less the same thing, but with a ton of bug fixes. As it turned out any attempt to battle Kiawe would crash the game, and that's been a bug since the first time I posted a build with trainers back in September or October. Since no one ever said anything, I think that says a lot about how popular that section of the game is. The real meat is the battle facilities anyway, so at least I know not to put too much effort into expanding that part of the game.

I know the type isn't that popular for being too good but it almost feels like it got gutted in this hack between that and the Echo type.

>>59096357
What hack? Thunder, Hurricane, & Weather Ball Zapdos with Drizzle sounds like a good time

>>59090710
if you can't even make gigalith special oriented in a hack like this why fucking bother with any other change at all

>>59097327
Tourmaline is just full of really questionable design decisions.

>>59092912
>Emerald ROWE
Checked this earlier and shit looks great
Ingame battle speed up is what i wanted the most from hacks for ages because bullying 12+ underleveled trainers/team grunts back to back bores me to death which forces me to use x2-4 emulator speed which fucks the bgm

Wait fuck, ROWE is completely different from Emerald Rogue** my b.
I agree though, in-game battle speed up is one of the greatest modern hacking additions. I know Recharged Yellow and Tourmaline both have it, E-Rogue's dev created it, dunno if anyone else is using it though.

>>59098131
>>59098136
Edgesaur looking good.

>>59096915
Well? What DO you think of it?

>>59098187
I'm enjoying it well enough. Just a basic Pokemon game with a big Pokedex. I think it's heavy on the HMs. It's also lacking some qol stuff but I think Gaia is one of the oldest romhacks so I can't get too upset about not having exp all, even though I think games with big Pokedexes really need it to encourage catching stuff.

Any purely doubles romhacks out there that'll let me (ab)use Incineroar?

>Play Unbound Expert
>1st gym is a huge difficulty spike
>They're all EV trained
Ahhh, that makes sense. I should've played in sandbox mode in that case

>>59098459
A few years ago, there was a wave of purely doubles romhacks released. One of them's bound to have Incineroar available.

>>59091860
>it sounds like fangames might be more up your alley
What were the sexy fan games called again? Iirc Pocket Campfire is one

>>59095248
That's a man.

Not a single drayano hack mentioned in the old or new recs.
Yup, reddit knows better as usual.

>>59098682
>Trusting either reddit or 4chan
That's why you're meant to scour pokecommunity for games to play, rather than blindly trusting recs from 4chan and trannydit

>>59098687
Only 4chan pisses on drayano for some reason. And it is not even a tranny thing since the recs have hacks with tranny flags. It is probably just some schizo ruining thing as usual.

What would be the easiest way to have a game where you have a box with a bunch of available Pokémon in the PC and you can build your team as you please (with TMs, tutors and stat-changing items) instead of a regular catching and encounter game? I wanna have a small tournament game where you battle a bunch of trainers with whatever team you want. Would that be easier to make as a rom hack or its own original Essentials game?
