Adult Pokémon fans should play romhacks and fangames instead of the mainline games

Unironically

Adults shouldn't play pokemon games, fangame or official.

2 fangame threads at once!?
Well anyway. This is my favorite Pokémon game
>>
>>744692920
I don't think I've ever played a pokemon "fan game" outside of Moemon which is just a re-skin. I guess I played one of the 2HU hacks iirc.
>>
>>744692920
Xenoverse was incredible, cringe plot here and there, but it delivers on the gameplay front, the main campaign is extremely long if you take into account the DLCs.
>>
>>744693172
Flora Sky is the most "Pokemon" of the Pokemon romhacks, the only one that felt to me like an actual game game freak produced in an alt universe.
>>
>>744693253
Xenoverse is one of my favorite pokemon games ever made. Better than anything released after gen 7

>>744693095
I played unbound for a bit, only did the first 2-3 gyms but it was fun. Would've played more but I was emulating it on android and can't be assed to convert the save file to work on PC
>>
>>744693346
Well yeah anything beyond gen 5 isn't part of the bar, that goes without saying.
>>
>>744693172
I tried Mariomon and the Etrian hack and they were well-made. The Etrian one still used Pokemon instead of Etrian creatures but that's asking for too much.
>>
>>744692920
Wokeshit aside this game is actually pretty fun. Very easy though and the soundtrack is rough (it's not 8 bit like you would think but cheap midi sounding). My second favorite romhack behind unbound.

>>744694275
hell no
field effects are bullshit. reborn gym fights feel more like puzzles to solve using pokemon mechanics than actual pokemon games. usually finding out the one move that wrecks the field that allows your opponent to steamroll you.
rejuvenation turns this up to 11 which is even worse
both games's story and characters makes me want to suck off a shotgun
>>
>>744694689
Disagree, field effects are kino and elevate the game beyond "DURR WATER GOOD FIRE" RPS bullshit

No I don't know what you mean. Please explain in detail what you would do in an adult Pokemon fangame.

Adult pokemon fans should play Palworld.

Unironically.

>>744694275
I'll second Reborn. Cringekino in essentials form.
I don't think I'd ever recommend this game to someone in person out of embarrassment, but if you like Pokemon and want to have to try a little bit harder it delivers. Not just in battles either, there are actual dungeons and puzzles you need to figure out.

I'm either hallucinating or have slipped into a different timeline.
I could have sworn the other day I was playing some romhack that was set in a region west of Johto, but it had the Hoenn starters, and your first task is to go to the next town over to visit the Professor's friend "The Inventor" who gives you the Pokedex, and your rival has a Cyndaquil.

But I cannot find the file on my PC or download history, or my emulation box.

The only one I ever played was Revelation for Emerald, and that's mostly the same game with some QoL and all catchable Pokemon. I never really got into those hacks that completely rewrite the story and/or make the game so absurdly hard.

Clover is my favorite fakemon hack. Everyone should try it.

EER is perfect for my teambuilding autism, probably my favorite romhack and definitely my most replayed. Can't recommend it enough for teambuilding autists
>>
>>744697324
Yeah I love Chimecho in that hack, he carried me through Gym 2
>>
Is there any game where the emphasis is put on catching pokemon?
I see plenty of difficulty hacks(and a little boost wouldn't be unwelcome), but I've always found more fun in hunting down and breeding pokemon.
Something with hunts like Bagon in gen 3, where you had to travel to the deepest part of a cave to reach the tiny area where it could be found.

CRINGE
>>
>>744698098
Sacred Gold/Storm Silver are technically about catching even though it's still as optional as it is in any mainline game. The late-game grind to level everything up to the point where it evolves is still a bit of a slog and while some of the legendaries feel well-integrated into the world there are still quite a few that are just 'Talk to NPC to be teleported to a room with this generation's trio.'

radical red blows. It's only difficult at the start when opponents straight up have shit you don't have access to. Once you beat Sabrina the whole game is cake. Probably one of the most disappointing and poorly designed hacks that gets hyped up
>>
>>744700070
I've never played Dragon Quest, what exactly was he pissed about?
>>
>>744700168
His buddy Ken Sugimori got 2 of a rare and powerful equipment drop while he spent hours not getting the drop. That's why Pokemon has monster trading cuz they specifically wanted the game on GameBoy so they could trade since Dragon Quest games do not have trading. It's no stretch to say Pokemon being a handheld monster trading game was thanks to a "whiny manchild upset about a kid's game" lol.
>>
>>744697083
All slop
Especially the fan games
The simple fact is that Pokemon games just don't have enough depth to justify repeated replays. Like it might be fun to go 'this time I'll use slurpuff' but these uber-challenging hardcore hacks can't fix how samey the core gameplay loop is if you don't have autism. No, I won't nuzlocke because I'm not trans

Shame that 99% of them are made by kids who want to add a deep and edgy plot to Pokemon out of all things while shitting out edgy OCs with the strongest teams in the world and you need to be on top of all smogon strategies to have a chance to beat even Joey's Rattata.

>>
>>744703008
Isn't Cubone and its whole Lavender Town lore just an edgy version of Skullgaroo from Dragon Quest, which Pokemon's devs loved as kids? The issues with making optimal teams are arguably game design issues with Pokemon as a whole such as the gap in monster viability is inconsistently large compared to JRPGs like Digimon, Yo-Kai Watch and Dragon Quest Monsters that at least use a Rank system to keep monster power levels more consistent, right?

Could be but I'd argue it's the opposite. I like emerald rogue because I don't have to stomach another shitty drawn out Pokémon story that's gonna withhold all the good Pokémon to the back half/quarter of the game. You mean to tell me I can snag a shiny legendary off the rip? Sign my ass up

>>744699747
Radical Red is probably the best romhack ever made so the guy replying before me can fuck off because he literally has a bad idiotic take. Of all the romhacks Radical Red is the best because it has all the Pokémon and increased difficulty. Two benchmarks a romhack has to pass before it's even considered good. Furthermore, the difficulty itself is in a good spot. It busts your balls but not as much as Reborn or Resurgence or whatever it's called. However, you're being kind of a tryhard about no one getting an opinion if they haven't beaten it. The dev himself had to stop being a faggot and add an easy mode because the qol of the game is really great it's just an enjoyable modern Pokemon where you actually get to meet all the new mons you never would have otherwise. He even had to remove a joke or two from the game where he was like "Lol git gud," because it's so faggoty.

Enjoy your difficulty but Pokemon is about battling monsters on a cool adventure. If we finally got Pokemon: Breath of the Wild but not shit and baby tier like Arceus we'd finally all be happy.

+If you've ever thought about this or that quality of life feature, they have it
+PC game, not a romhack

-You have to learn shit all over again. Typing, moves, abilities, even type chart are all touched up and there is a lot.
-No such thing as a "pushover trainer". It's not kaizo bullshit, but it can get tiring that every random shmuck on the road needs you to use your brain to win.
-There is a tranny dev who snuck in his cringeworthy enbie OC for a sidequest.

THIS
The final battle gainst the villian and its klefki/primarina would never have been as hard without the retarded AI partner. To this day I'm still mad about the experience, gay shit like that isn't difficulty. I dropped monster hunter stories 2 for the same reason, there's an optional fight against a super monster that I would've beaten no trouble (gammoth) if I didn't make the retarded decision to continue the story for a little bit when I was alone without a partner. No matter what you did in that fight with the AI, it would kill itself or die stupidly.

Meanwhile the fight alone is somewhat tough but predictable, basically a battle of attrition. I couldn't stand this anti-fun design and dropped the game. Fuck this

I'm playing Pokemon Dark Horozon which is a 2d sequel to the Gamecube games. I've never been a fan of the shadow pokemon mechanics but I think doubles is a better format for the single-player experience.
Gameplay-wise it's all double battles has a hard mode and a level cap option, which has made the game not braindead easy so far.
