I just finished unbound. any other (completed) hacks worth playing through?and is the unbound post game any good?
>>737499060Clover, but wait for 2.0, which was announced to come this year.
>>737499209already keeping track of that one. that and drayano's HGSS redux are the two i'm looking forward to the most
Postgame is mostly just a legendary checklist and an annoying forest maze, the cube corp building was supposed to be something but its probably never getting actually implemented. There's the battle frontier but I couldn't be bothered with it.Play again max diff like a real man.

I will forever shill Pokemon Tectonic, I've started playing it a month ago and I've sunk close to 90 hours on itIt's a Pokemon game at its core but almost every mon is changed up in terms of abilities and movesets: everything is balanced to be viable and there's a lot of variety in how you can play the game. Tons of QoL as well>convenient fast travel>no HMs>excess EXP can be crafted into candies so you never lose anything>no IVs no EVs>Pokenav from the start, with rewards for completing each routes>move relearner in every Pokemon center>can run away from every wild battleAnd so much more, it truly is the ultimate Pokemon game in my opinion
>>737500224No EVs sounds retarded. Why would you gut some of the only strategic depth these games have?
>>737500473yeah there's a thin line between quality of life and just skipping/cheating through the actual game
>>737500224>can run away from every wild battleWhat does this even mean? When was there a game where you couldn't do this?If you mean trainer battles then that's absurd.
>>737500473>grinding against level 4 pokemon for hours to safely raise EVs>strategic depthu avin a giggle m8? when the optimal strategy isn't fun, you change the rules.
>>737500793plenty other hacks have ways to streamline training, some you can just pay money to edit spreads outright. Removing them entirely is just retarded and dumbs down teambuilding potential for the player and opponents alike.
>>737500473>>737500579EVs are changed into "style points", they're the values between 0 and 20 you see on the rightBasically you get a pool of them, all the same for each mon, and you distribute them based on your buildExactly like EVs but you don't gotta slaughter the local Kakuna population for 40 minutes to achieve your "strategic depth">>737500694Nah I meant that it's guaranteed to always succeedYou can also retreat from trainer battles as well, with no downsides except the teleport to the last resting spot; you can also fully preview all trainer teams before a battle, including moves and abilities and tribal synergies. The game's still hard as balls, but at least it's fair
>>737500224>>no IVs no EVsgod I wish this was standardI'm so fucking tired of this garbage
>>737500224This is not a fucking romhack. Keep your rpgmaker FAGGOT SHIT in its own thread
>>737499060moemon platinum
>>737501081Running from wild battles always depended on speed difference. Running from trainers is just baby shit, you only make this sound worse with each post.
>>737501168Yea same, playing it I had completely forgotten how cursed of a concept IVs and EVs areI don't think I'll go back to regular romhacks unless they have a built-in editor>>737501323Sure thingy, anon!
>>737499060The one I've enjoyed the most is Reborn, with a mod to edit IVs and EVs at will because fuck grinding.
>>737501081>No EVs>um ok actually there's EVs but they're named different and even more obfuscatedThis is your game isn't it? I have never heard of it before now and I suspect it's for good reason.
i want a pokemon game i can play forever like osrs or skyrim lolthere are not many games that pander to being held prisoner in your own home if you hate online and woke ass nonsenseosrs is already so bad with the woke lolthe fuck do i play crimson desert ?i only really have ps5 and a laptop rn cuz the feds locked me out of my switch and all my pcs lol
>>737500224>Download game>It's not a romhack>"Are you Type A, Type B, or Neither">Pick starter>Crash>Try again>This time it works, professor hands an 3D printer to recover consumable items for free>Get to the first center>Nurse Joy hands me an estus flaskThis is raising more than a few red flags so far.
>>737499060Unironically noneJust use a randomizer99% of hacks are done by retarded manchildren who are 'le heckin cool pokeyman players'
>>737501081>EVs are changed into "style points", they're the values between 0 and 20 you see on the rightI guess no one liked them->You can also retreat from trainer battlesSurely no one would do that, r-right..?
>>737499359Dray doing hgss redux again? Wasnt it already done?
>>737502731I don't see the point of retrating from a trainer battle, if it's one of those hard hacks surely you're saving before every battle anyways?
>>737501081Ev/iv spread changed to less suffering? Okay i will bite. Where can i get latest release anon? I'm still outside and far from my pc.
Pokemon OdysseyUnbound is goated thoI want more gen 6 style exp share romhacks with limited pokedexes. I don’t care for dumb ones which have all mons meaning every patch of grass has like a 100 different pokemon in its spawn list. Any recs?
Infinite fusionPokerogue
>>737499060Now I wanna play some Pokemonsis Odyssey any good? I downloaded it a while ago and never played it>>737502748Dude had a mental breakdown after Radical Red came out and started from scratch iirc
>>737503037NOT ROMHACKS, FUCK OFF
>>737502996Their website, latest version is 3.3It'll tell you it's out of date, but that's because the "people" that made it don't have money to keep the version checker online kek>>737501764No anon-kun, that is not what I said in the slightest. I know this board's not that smart, but please apply yourselfThey're named different because it's a different system, that leads to the same result: being able to build a mon's stats in the way you deem tactically necessary.It's not even "especially obfuscated": there's a guy in every Center that explains the system and edits them for you. Not that EVs or IVs were especially intuitive in mainline Pokemon games regardless: I'm fairly sure you weren't even able to check them ingame till at least gen 4/5 (?) and nobody really told you about them.>>737502731I run away quite often because I wanna make sure I perfect the fight for ((reasons))But it's not like trainer battles are some super duper special obstacles in mainline games anyways: people usually soft-reset if a fight doesn't go their way, so at least this keeps it honest
>>737499209Was it actually confirmed for 2026?
>>737503085Odyssey is decent. The new forms are hit or miss and the new type kind of sucks, if you're expecting EO difficulty it's not even close but it's enough for a pokemon game. If you like weather teams they're pretty busted since gen 3 weather is permanent
>i-it's honestBruh. It is the one illusion of difficulty in the game. You commit to a fight when you see a trainer. If you're unprepared, this sets you back a bit. You can choose to keep going with some lost money to add a rpg element to your run, you might soft-reset but at least it's something. There is those nuzlockes. No, just, select run...What CASUAL shit. This is indefensible (and NOT a romhack or this wouldn't be an option). There is NO doubt you made this or is in the dev's discord.
>>737502823You don't need to save when the only downside to losing is going back to poke center
>>737499060There aren't any others as good as Unbound. I usually play difficulty hacks because they won't have "HI I'M THE AUTHOR'S OC AND I WANT TO KILL MYSELF" writing, but the battles are more fun. Renegade Platinum is a decently popular good one.
>>737504832also the story is very cringe but if you can sit through (or skip through) unbound's then it's not any worse
>>737504832>The new forms are hit or miss I liked all of them. Wigglytuff made me laugh my ass off
Maybe not the best balanced and it’s fairly short (which imo can be a good thing) but this was plenty of fun last year if you’re a Mario fan. It uses Mario enemies as the Pokemon and has a totally unique region based entirely off of Mario locales.
>>737499060Elite Emerald Redux.
>>737505359Odyssey's story is surprisingly pretty decent, the issue is that the writing is beyond atrocious that it's impossible to take it seriously. I was pretty much speedreading through the text after they started bringing the old characters back.The devs are working on the sequel now, hopefully enough people complained about the shit writing.
>>737505781I hope they don't cut legends again. Even if it's postgame only its simply not a pokemon game without them.
>>737500694basically a forfeit option. it has the same result as losing
>>737501965emerald rogue is the best pokemon romhack of all time and has infinite replayability
>Reach E4 or some important battle>Stall is nerfed to ground because muh smogon.>Perma weather/terrain because lol>Also whole uber gang slotted plus some totally not biased buffed mega.I know how to deal with this shit but feels annoying as fuck.
Something feels wrong. Why haven't I been told to go back to /vp/ yet?
>>737506876romhacks are video games.
>>737501081coromon does EVs like this
>>737507149It's a far more sensible way of doing things than oldgensBy now official games have >EV training items>EV reducing berries>Hyper Training>nature mints>mirror herbs all to remedy how stupidly grindy making a good mon was
>trusting a romhack not knowing Whats injected into the filehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BQITN7wqzzY
>>737502468Game's made by a tranny, that much should be obvious: I think one gym leader is whackygendered and there's some naturally cringe writing along the way (but this is standard for fangames)The plot is largely irrelevant for 90% of the game, you only really have to care about it around the 7th gym and you can tell everyone to fuck off, which is a pleasant surprise coming over from UnboundAlso yea the 3D printer is fucking amazing, wish more games had that; I swear that if you go into this game with an open mind, it's a worthwhile experience>>737507149Huh I had no clueIt's funny because I had played it for like 10 hours some time ago but never quite got into it, I think its take on typings and battling was a bit too slow for my tastesIt helps that I've been playing Pokemon for ages so getting accustomed to new types and fakemons is always a bit of a hurdle>>737509073The original intention behind IVs/EVs was to have diverse mons, to really feel like this one Rattata you caught is uniquely yours and nobody else'sObviously this snowballed out of control and the mechanics are obsolete relics that do not belong in Pokemon, but they can't be dismissed because>muh transfering mons all the way from gen 2>muh nostalgia>muh Gamefreak in charge of game design
>>737499060I recently finished Dark Horizon and had a pretty decent time with it. >pic was my final crewIf you're down for a somewhat less orthodox game it's totally worth your time since it's not terribly long.It takes place between Colosseum and XD and has shadow Pokemon that you snag from opponents rather than wild pokemon. >Pokemon from gens 1-4 with minor balance tweaks to make more of them viable>double battles as the basis, so the game gives you two starters from a selection of 3 pairs>interesting main quest>a few neat sidequests>repeatable mini-tournaments>extended battle tower equivalentMy only problems are that the game throws a ton of Shadow Pokemon at you immediately so you end up with a full team right away rather than ramping up and some areas are absolutely inundated with battles you can't avoid, which aren't really huge issues.
>>737512256frontloading the roster is always a trapping of romhacks due to everyone wanting to use a team of favorites from the start
>>737499060Reborn if you can stand some of the insufferable characters
>>737512436If there was anything it did right, it was that the first handful of Shadow Pokemon they tossed my way would typically be called shitmon or mediocre. My starters were Murkrow and Misdreavus, but the rest of my team shifted quite a bit over the course of the game, so it at least felt like there was genuine progression as I came across some of my faves.
just gonna ask these here since there arent any other threds where this would fit Is this really worth 200 Euros?Im getting back into pokemon lately and the lego set of the startes cost 650 which is absurd and i was only interested in venusaur anyways so theres no way im getting that but this locks really goodIts from Mega Blocks and 2000 pices looks like a niec set but 200 euros for megablocks is also a lot of cashI cant imagine any other set costing this much but because its pokeom athey can add the extra priceI was thinking of getting it before it sold out but im not sureTheres also a charizard version for 70 euros but it doesn tlook as good as this one
>>737512659it says pokemon on the box, buy it immediately
>>737512659No man I would not dump 200 dollars on legos.
>>737512180>I think its take on typings and battling was a bit too slow for my tastesit doesn't help that you basically only encounter ground and normal types (plus your starter) for the first little while in the game
>>737511691This, I downloaded a romhack once and what I saw was the worst shit I have ever seen, never again.
>>737512781stay poorit says pokemon on the box it will 10x in 2 years
Rocket Edition: Dragonsden version is pretty good. It's a full decomp hack of Emerald so it has a ton of newer mechanics, QoL, custom shit and a full story.https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-team-rocket-edition-dragonsden-version-kanto-sevii-johto-next-release-dlc-season-4.527368/
>>737512942or it could be worth nothingDo you know how much pokemon merch exist thats just worthless because it was produced at the peak of pokemania
>>737513721aeiou
>>737513721What's his team?My guess is Jirachi, Deoxus, Elgeeyem, Clefable, Palkia and Starmie.
