>>56473468What if the Vice and Virtue duo were different forms of the same legendary.

What would sound like good ideas for an NDS rom hack that isn’t just a higher difficulty version?
>>56474055I like this idea more for hoenn but what if team Magma/Aqua plan was a success and the region was altered by the team objective. Make it a sequel 5 years later and explore the ramifications of it on the world like pokemon being extinct new regional variations caused by the changes, of course map changes, overall populace opinion of pokemon being bad and they hate them now and exclude them from their cities and so on.Adapts this concept for Sinnoh/johto with some legendary and go with it.
>>56473793Nah David's done, he's focusing on getting a job now.

>>56474055A DS version of BW3 Genesis
LF: a hack from the 2020s that have modern qol, but with similar vibes to something from the late 2000s-early 2010s
>>56474668What the hell are you actually looking for?
>>56474676anon is looking for games like unbound and radical red
>>56474683How do these feel like they're "from the late 2000s-early 2010s"?
Are there any hacks that actually let you use your full team for longer than the E4+maybe the last gym?And i don't mean a victory lap ala Kanto in gen 2 where everything is piss easy, i mean more like Clover where stuff actually scales to your level and remains challenging.Preferably if its an actual game and not a pure autism check like Radical Red
>>56474690Would gym rematches count?
>>56474676modern cringekino
>>56474695No not really. I'd prefer full routes and areas with proper trainers.In Clover you can make a completely seperate team after the E4 and have still more than enough content to fully use it.But i'm sick of always replaying that.
can you change abilities (also to hidden) in seaglass emerald?
>>56475011No, because the dev is a fag and won't release his source code.
>>56475011Yeah the game has both Ability Capsules and Patches. I believe they unlock after Norman(?) at the shop in Petalburg. I used one to get Sheer Force Nidoqueen
>>56475027okdont feel like dexnavving for fucking everything
>>56475087There’s also Nature Mints in that flower shop before Rustboro if you missed it like me.
SEAGLASS SCALLYWAGS!3.0 just dropped.
>>56475670thanks cute
>>56475670not playing until GBC music
>>56475670>dragon dance steel/dragon aggron well that's just cheating
>>56475670This talentless tranny is just shoving other people's spritework into a rom, yet people praise him.
are the player characters black and white 3 genesis all nigs?
>>56475945at least is not pokemon clover.
>>56476300I dunno, boot up the rom and see for yourself, ESL.
>>56476309yeah i boot up and they're all nigs but i saw screenshots with the normal crystal character, no noggins...
>>56475939I don't like the type/balance changes Tbh, should have just stuck to being an emerald reskin
>>56476309i mean just explain this to me >>55087293this is not the only screenshot I've seen. but every version i tested from github has nogs in it.
>>56476330Nah the type changes and buffs make it more interesting.
>>56475670>y'all>giving in to the pressure of their crowd to change the sprites back to brendan and may and other stuffDev team has no spine
>>56476361The sprites were changed 3 years ago so anon might have been using an old rom.It's easy to revert though, since the Github project kept all the original sprites and only renamed them when they added the new ones.
>>56476389i have zero clue about any of this stuff
>>56476383>>y'allWhat's good with you? Do you never use contractions?>>giving in to the pressure of their crowd to change the sprites back to brendan and may and other stuffThe sprites were Ethan and Lyra from the jump, it changed because the dev became aware of the gen 2 renditions of the gen 3 protags existing.Also the 1.0 battle backgrounds were better so it's good they got changed back anyways.
>>56476393I'm looking into it. I reverted the sprites but it seems to be a color pallet problem. I need to see if I can revert it. I just don't know where to look yet.
>>56476372Changing types without introducing a new form seems lazy.
>>56476372well, that's just like, your opinion man
>>56476405>Do you never use contractions?No, they're gay
>>56476517We're gay.
>>56476499I’d rather a change than some new fakemon form
>>56476517you're is a contraction, homosexual
>>56476543That's the joke.
>>56476405>the dev became aware of the gen 2 renditions of the gen 3 protags existingis he underage or what?
>>56476619He's a theythem.
>>56475670>>56475670>>56475670Do I just download new repatched rom and rename it to old patch so my savefile still works?
>>56476300>>56476317>>56476361>>56476389>>56476493>MC of BW3 has tanned skin from living in Humilau City>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BLACK PEOPLE, HECKING JOGGERS IN MY POCKETMONSTERS HACK, HOW CAN I SELF-INSERT LIKE THIS??? I CAN'T RELATE TO SUNTANNED PEOPLE, I NEVER LEAVE MY BASEMEMTDo microdicks really?
>>56476330so just play a vanilla emerald rom
>>56476685The aesthetic is the main draw of Seaglass.
>>56476300It's open source, you can fix it yourself.
>>56476693Feeling called out microdick? You pussies are so weak minded you need everything to look like you.
>>56476685it just feels confused to me, like it's halfway between wanting to be a rebalance hack or just an aesthetic hack. pick a lane. it's not the worst thing in the world, I'm just generally not a fan of hacks changing types unless rebance is the main point of the hack. but that's just me.
>>56476725That's how I feel about Luminescent Platinum.
>>56476715The irony of this post is delicious.
>>56476725Why does it have to be one or the other? Pretty limiting mindset.
how do I edit in gender forms (either stats wise but even just appearence wise) in pokecrystal?
>>56476745Nope, I've never felt compelled to change the skin colour of a character to match mine if the game doesn't already give me the option. In Unbound and Prism with customization sure, but I don't try changing it in canon games or hackroms with OC's like Gaia or Glazed. Loser behaviour.
>>56476783Not without making lots of changes.
>>56476790I asked hoping someone else already did it. I'm ok with using the 16 bit expansion if that's necessary. I like GSC graphic and vibes much more that's why I'd rather use pokecrystal than pokemerald
>>56476786found the crystal clear apologist
>>56476671Yeah, patch a new trashman rom with 3.0 and nake sure it matches the filename of the last one.
>>56476799Polished has support for alternate forms.But if you want to keep it more vanilla, you can look at how Unown forms are determined and try to make something similar for gender forms. Would probably be easier because you'd just have to check for the attack DV.
Maybe if you faggots decided to do the work and actually make something you could decide the skin colors of everything. For all your bitching about trannies they put in the hard yards to create romhacks.
>>56476810Good idea. I'd rather avoid using DVs to keep up with newer developments. Although I dislike that polished crystal isn't using the 16 bit version of pokecrystal. I wonder how easy it is to fork the gender form changes from pokecrystal to the 16 bit version
>>56476819shut eh fuck up.
>>56476846Polished does have a 9-bit engine now. It won't let you have every single Pokemon, but 512 is enough for most cases.
>>56476819So what's your project about?
So it's fairly easy to change the color of the models, but somehow it's totally unrelated to the colors of your tiny sprite. If I have to track down every mention of PAL_OW_RED and PAL_OW_BLUE I ain't doing it, senpai.Anyway, I'm going to bed.
>>56476863Great. Why is it still limiting itself to 253 moves, according to the github page?
>>56476894Different branch.
>>56476876gfx/overworld/npc_sprites.asm
>>56476900thanks. I'll have to decide what to do. My autism wants me to conserve as many features from new games as possible (gimmicks aside). 512 pokedex is more than enough, I want to make it mostly regional variants for my new sekrit oc region anyway... but I'd like to have access to as many moves as possible.
>>56476924If only it was the only file to edit, anon.Here's the commit that made The Darkening happen: https://github.com/AzureKeys/BW3G/commit/2f5716554391d79f67ff00163b3ccec691f699d5#diff-6e532147606a79cfbc595c8980d1134b536c7f390c7fcc8995531e6b6910334fI guess I could go over everything and change what's necessary, but I'm feeling kind of lazy.
>>56476924>npc_sprites.asmWait, I guess I could work with this by only editing red_d and blue_d. I'll look into it tomorrow, thanks.
>>56476956I don't know if that game uses any additional NPC palettes, but that's where they are in vanilla Crystal.
Can I download the spaceworld remake with the cut pokemon yet?
>>56476967It does, it does. Strange shit though, I've edited all custom lines (from morning to dark), yet when I step outside it reverts to the garbage palette.But anyway, as I was saying, I'm going to bed.
>>56476751it doesn't have to be, just my preference. the creator has freedom to do whatever they want, and I have freedom to voice my opinion about it.
>>56477064>garbage paletteKill yourself
Anyone using playing/using dokimon/monmae? Was reading about it today and sounds interesting, expensive as fuck though
>>56475670How do I know which tms can be bought again? For example I just got bulldoze but cant rebuy it in the shop.
Someone posted this new shiny graphic in the Seaglass server.>>56478111Have you gotten the 7th badge yet? I hear you can buy TM's infinitely after that.
is there a quality (definitive worthy) hack of gen 2 on a gen 3 engine?>liquid crystalvaporware>crystal dustvaporware after project reboot>shinygoldbroken vaporware
>>56477312That’s a non answer but sure.
>>56478408yeah I was just trying to move on because I felt like I already explained myself sufficiently but apparently not. like I said earlier I'm just not a fan of type changes in general and it's not much deeper than that. I'm willing to give it a pass if the hack is centered around those kinds of changes, but I don't want to have to relearn types for a hack that is otherwise selling a vanilla experience. as for why it can't be a rebalance and an aesthetic hack, well I would rather a hack that just does one thing well instead of two.things half assedely, and also the aforementioned reasons. better, or do you want me to write you a dissertation?
>>56478172But every tm?No I only got first badge.
Pokeemerald expanded or pokecrystal?
>>56478778What do you want to do?
Does anyone have any tips for doing pixel art sprites and tiles?
>>56478779New region. 90% of the dex is regional forms of existing mons. 10% is existing mons. I like features from new games outside of gimmicks (megas, z move, dynamax)
>>56478827Emerald
>>56478832Yes I'm convinced as well... I really like Crystal style animations though. Well, too bad
>>56476847rude eh
>>56476802found the pokemon clover analogist
>>56478687I think so, haven't played yet though.
What the fuck compelled me to pull the emerald expansion's updatesThis has been weeks (not actually touching it most days) worth of merge conflicts to fix
>>56479583Don't tell me you didn't make a backup first.
>>56479586It's on my github, so I can go back if I need toBut now I remembered that I wanted gen 9 updates which came out after I started working on the rom
>>56478812I don't know the first thing about creating sprites from scratch, but you could always try editing existing sprites until they look different enough for you. A lot of the biggest hacks have done this, at least temporarily.
>>56479679I know the bottom pic id Unbound but is the middle Gaia?
>>56478616>do you want me to write you a dissertationYeah
>>56479687Yup, the old Unbound 1.0 gym leader sprites.You can see some of the gym leaders redesigns for Gaia 4.0 on Spherical Ice's Youtube channel, among other characters.https://youtu.be/8TIJxI4m43w?si=eXO5SHiAoISLTaNP
>>56479726I didn’t realize there was a YouTube channel for that game. Thanks anon
Haven't kept up with Gaia for a long time, is it actually getting a new update or something?
>>56479770Np anon :) it's pretty lowkey. I hope we get an update on Gaia in the next few months going off SI's january tweet.>>56479958Kill yourself.

the hardest part of romhacking is making a good storyI have so many ideas for pokemon designs, alternate forms... but I have no idea how to handle evil teams, how connect regional forms to an overall story etc...
>>56480874Some of the other mc art by that artist is a bit gay, so your gaydar is right. The person who redesigned the protags sprites drew it.>>56480938Yup, the new area previews are one of the my favourite little additions.
>>56480949 I wouldn't worry too much about a story, focus on worldbuilding. It's Pokemon, the bar for writing has never been particularly high.
>>56480949>evil teamsKeep it simple. We don't need some world ending scenario or anything super elaborate involving a legendary. >how connect regional formsDon't. They're here, that's good enough.
>>56479583My favorite was when I pulled it a year ago and several of the "improved" animation particles introduced a bug that would crash the game in the next 1-3 Pokemon switch-in, making some battles like Maxie at Mt Chimney (Flame Burst was one of the affected moves) a legitimate dice roll as to if I could finish the battle.I disabled the updated animation particles, boom no crashing the entire playthrough. The kicker? The "improved" particles look like ass.Expansion is useful at the base level of code interactions and structure. But be aware that every "neat" feature you enable is fraught with the risk of poorly-implemented unnecessary trash you're better off doing yourself. I only use it to get the Pokemon + movepool expanded, then audited every new ability for bugs. I've found several, which I've had to submit pushes for to the Master, only for them to decline the push.Just be aware with any code that convenience almost always equals SOMETHING goofy/broken, especially because they are chained to adding everything every gen without extensively testing.They really should fork the releases by gen gimmicks they're adding.
>>56480903I think personalizing the sprites is *fine*, I even liked the warm orange colours that one anon picked >>56476876I just think they described why they wanted to do it in the most obnoxious way possible. But yeah, I'm not proud of going borderline sharty there for a second, this place has changed me, sorry about that. I just grabbed those pictures off a booru real quick, I wanna delete the posts now but it's been too long. Sorry to shit up thd thread.
>>56480975I'd liks my game to be remembered. You're right that the bar has never been high so that's why I want to create something at least a tiny bit better. What do you mean with focus on wordbuilding?>>56480979I wanted it to be more mundane. Kinda like the scrapped Evil Kanto from Red and Green beta. Also the connections I'd want is kinda like Legend Arceus did...
>>56481040Good luck with the hack anon!
>>56480959Kino. If it was already in the rom I'd play it
>>56481040>What do you mean with focus on worldbuilding?Come up with reasons why each place exists, and what the people who live there do on their day-to-day life. It makes coming up with dialogue much easier when you have in-universe explanations for the various settings.
>>56480846I really like the new protag designs
>>56480158>>56479958>>56480562Peak autism
Has anyone made an Android port of Pokemon Wilds yet? I miss playing that game
>>56480949Whatever you do, don't dump walls of text on the player. My biggest pet peeve when it comes to "story focused" hacks.
>>56480990Yeah I ended up implementing some gen 9 moves before they were even revealed like psychic noise (but poison type)I think things like commander, which I wanted to use, were out of my expertiseBut for the most part, a lot of the gen 9 moves/abilities probably aren't really that hard to implement in hindsightI'm using all fakemons too, so I didn't even need the sprites/statsI did have to rework the 100+ moves I added because they changed move definition formatGod knows how painful it's going to be to test everything again once I get it built
>>56481040>What do you mean with focus on wordbuilding?like the other anon said, focus on the story behind the world itself. assuming you're doing an original region, give some thought to the history behind towns, what role each town plays in the region culturally and economically. think about how the region would develop around certain geographic features, and how all this impacts people's lives in the region. think about who lives in the region and their relationships with eachother and the environment. you don't have to write a dialog explaining the region's tax policies or anything like that, but just having this stuff in the back of your head while you're making maps, writing filler dialogue and placing NPCs will make everything in your game feel more thoughtful, and the region feel lived in and immersive. I think this is arguably more effective than trying to write a mindblowing plot. because let's be honest, there's only so much you can do with the plot in Pokemon before you risk it feeling too edgy, too meta, or otherwise uncanny and un-Pokemon like. it's a fine line to walk. and truthfully, most romhackers aren't exactly great writers. especially when they're struggling to even come up with a concept to begin with. no offence, that's just the way it is.when you think of why regions like Kanto, Johto and Hoenn are remembered, it's not really because of the plots. it's because of the regions themselves and how immersive they were, they felt like real places that could be inhabited by real people and made you want to be in those settings. I think it's a quality that a lot of hacks are missing. a lot of fan regions just feel like a collection of maps, and randomly placed NPCs. so if you can nail that, I think that gives you a real selling point for your game.
>>56481890
So, Pokemon Evergreen will have areas seamlessly transition with each other, much like Hoenn in RSE.
>>56481955two days. That's gotta be a new record!
That is in base Essentials (and probably RPGMXP) and there's also a debug tool to make such connections graphically.
>>56482062hey man, looking for work is tough. he probably spent like a whole 3 hours preparing to job search, and then 30 minutes staring at Indeed. he deserves to take a break.
>>56482295Unironically me job searching.
>>56482225Doesn't Essentials not cull anything, so having too many overworld connections cause performance issues? I haven't touched RMXP in about 9 years.
>>56481053Do you mean the custom area previews? There actually are already several of them in the current version, including the Cosmic Caverns one posted. The other 3 are yet to be added though, potentially others too!>>56481204Agreed, they look fucking cool.
>>56482489Not quite, it fully loads any map on screen or just off so you have to keep that in mind at the intersections. If there were two super busy maps next to each other it would be easy to create a little buffer map to transition between them.
>>56482706Has that behavior changed? Because I remember people discouraging large strings of connected maps.
>>56482717I hope so, an Anon mentioned a few threads back that there had been large improvement in it's performance since years ago. I'm just getting into it, 14 maps strung together so far but not fully fleshed out the wiki page doesn't mention anything. https://essentialsengine.miraheze.org/wiki/Connecting_maps
>>56481023>I just think they described why they wanted to do it in the most obnoxious way possible.he*And I didn't describe shit, that was another anon. I'm just the guy who's looking into it.

I was actually wondering what kind of quests I would add if I ever made a hack too, not really my forté desu.Maybe stuff involving running off villain team grunts/hoodlums that are causing trouble for people, escort quests, maybe even ones that could lead to opening up new areas? The Rift Cave post-game quest comes to mind. Like this anon said >>56483582 gauntlets are always fun. You could pull inspiration from any franchise you like
>>56483065Thank you so much, dear anon. <3

>>56485451Specifically for Sun and Moon, I mean. I know there's Photonic Sun/Prismatic Moon but those are for USUM which I'd rather not play.
Are there any romhacks or fangames with z-moves, dynamax, or terastal?
There were pictures posted some years ago of a romhack with highly detailed backgrounds, is that seaglass or a different project?
>>56485482why? what's so different about USUM?
>>56486440it is an art project, not a game
How to implement Gen 5 like trainer animations in pokemerald?
>>56473445Why is goldenrod grey
>>56486618Look at the code for Pokemon animations
>>56486679I'm looking at it but what my retarded ass understood is that emerald supports essentially two frames animations and then a morphing distortion effect is applied. I'd like it to have "pure" animations, crystal style.
>>56486625Aktualy, that's Westport City.
Wondering if I should make custom moves to go with my full fakedex.How badly would making something that replaces moves like Scratch and Pound into something that does less upfront damage but affects stats? IE: Scratch now is 20 BP but lowers target's Attack by 1 stage. Or if it was something more like Scratch now is 50 BP but lowers your Defense by 1 stage?Would it make them too weak/strong compared to traditional move options once you start hitting the upper 20s to 30s, or would it just not make a difference and be more work for the same outcome?
>>56486832Scratch/Pound are generic early game moves you run before you get access to better options. They're fine as they are.
>>56486832I don't see how Scratch would affect stats at all.It's fine just being a basic move. I'd personally leave it be and look at how Tackle was historically handled- give it slightly higher damage and worse accuracy. I have no idea what you would do with Pound.
>>56486841>>56486851Say I wanted a decently slower leveling curve at the start that starts to ramp up. Would keeping the generic early game moves make this more boring and unappealing? Or should I just not bother with it and keep the pacing to how it is normally?
>>56486861I always found the early-game Tackle mirrors to be rather dull. There's some benefits to making levels take longer to hit, but the biggest problem I'd find is being stuck with the same Pokemon and moves for too long. You could supplement that a little bit by making a bunch of cheap and abundant TMs that contain generally weaker moves, and offer those very early in the game.
>>56474165>>56474171You people are obsessed. Quit talking about him.
>>56486874I see. What moves would you recommend that wouldn't upset the balance of a slow and low-leveled start?I was considering having the beginning of the game be decently tough where trainers are slightly stacked in their AI and decent movepools (nothing Radical Red-tier by any means), and let the difficulty sort itself out once you get more access to different Pokemon, TMs, and items; while also lessening the penalty for losing in accordance.
>>56486897Look at what gens 1 & 2 did.
>>56486901I don't follow.
>>56486917Both of the Game Boy gens had a lot of low-power TMs that fit well into the early game.
>>56486919You're going to have to define "early game" because the first 3 gyms had very little going for their stretches last I recall.
>>56486921Moves <60 BP
>>56486935I see. I'll try to plot out what I want to do with the gyms first and then design route encounters and TM availability based on both as alternate possible solutions to the gym's difficulty "puzzle" while keeping some satisfying options to levy the difficulty.Thanks, appreciate the insight.
>>56484918>Slowdowns>For a GBA game>With barely anything going on like Pokemon
>>56484918If only other people had access to the game's code, then it could be fixed by someone who knows what he's doing.
>>56487021I know. Trannydevs have a reverse Midas touch.
>>56487025He'll never open source it because people with actual talent would steal "his" thunder.Quotation marks, because the only thing Seaglass has going for it is its graphics, and they weren't created by him.
>>56487038This always seems to happen with hacks that explode in popularity.
>>56487043And they all need to be punished for this behavior.
>>56487038And Seaglass’s graphics aren’t even particularly impressive. The overworld tileset doesn’t fit Hoenn. The battle backgrounds have a style clash. The rest of the game is just vanilla assets edited to have limited colours with inconsistent rules to how colours are applied, like they were just churned through a script that reduces colour depth. This is because the creator doesn’t actually have talent on his own. The technically impressive assets come from other artists and programmers.But who cares, anyway? 99% of players in this scene have very low standards.
>>56487080Ultimately players are scared of innovation. They don’t desire original experiences. And this is why the quality of the scene has decreased since the Emerald decomp became usable.
>>56487089Hence Seaglass, which is actually just a Radical Red clone skinwalking as a nostalgic gameboy retro throwback (which is does half-heartedly) is popular, whilst the likes of Coral, qdex, et cetera are not. It’s cheap crap.
>>56480763Go play the minigame diving the sea, find itens and sell it
>>56487107Coral isn't finished.
I was playing Azure Platinum.This hack is a fucking mess holy shit
>>56487080The reception to Seaglass has been astonishing. I'm not arguing that it's an awful romhack, but checking Plebbit and seeing all the "Seaglass best hack ever!!!" threads, well it left me kind of dumbfounded.
>>56480763>>56480819Creator added a code for nuggets to sell with the recent patch lol
>>56487147>"""difficulty""" hackYou get what you fucking deserve.
>>56487107What's original about Coral and qdex?Coral is just by-the-numbers Crystal rehash but worse since it adds nugen slop, qdex does an original dex which is nice but other than that is the game itself any more original?
>>56487158Ah, yes. Why balance your game when you can just throw cheatcodes at it.
>>56486683any tips here?
>>56487162Coral has an original region at least.
>>56487164Meant for >>56487155
>>56487164Real men use 5 Pickup Zigzagoon
>>56486832Moves like Scratch/Pound/etc. should be merged into a 5th move as a separate command just called "Attack" that every Pokémon has access to at all times.
>>56487171And a bunch of gimmick mechanics like the skateboard.
>>56487177Soulles as fuck. Only ok if you reaches moves limit
>>56487185>the skateboard>a gimmickThat's just what radical kids are into, anon.
>>56487188>it's soulless because Game Freak didn't do itYou are the reason why romhacks suck.
>>56487189I'm not saying it isn't a cool addition from both a gameplay and technical standpoint, but there's lots of little things in Coral that allow it to stand out. Stuff that looks good in a short twitter clip.
>>56487198>Stuff that looks good in a short twitter clip.You're not exactly selling me on this hack by saying that anon.
>>56487195The rule for me is add, not remove
>>56487200It just has a really good attention to detail.
>>56487195A lot of early game moves suck, but they have a degree of character that a generic "Attack" button doesn't have.Personally I don't care if they're mechanically redundant, and you can always give each of them a minor buff or change to make them distinct.
>>56487201You're seeing this the wrong way then.Adding a universal attack command that functions as a Normal (or typeless, up to you) low BP move allows you to toy with early game learnsets way more. Because of the lack of PP for said command, you would also have far greater freedom to design your game around PP management.If this is Gen 2, then all the better, since you can add more moves that actually do things and aren't filler.The only limit is yourself, but personally, I think purposefully making the early game experience boring filler is bad design that far too many RPGs fall into for the sake of "progression".
>>56487203>last twatter post was a year agoIt's over, Coralbros...
>>56487203That is pretty nice looking, I'll put in on my list.
I noticed a small inconsistency with Peridot. There's a postgame key item that allows you longer Safari games. The game gives you 999 steps when you select this option, but the start menu only shows 500. Because I can't remember if I made it 999 for testing or not, should I leave it and update the menu string or just give you 500 steps?
>>56487319>leave it and update the menu stringThis. Even though 999 steps is a bit much.
>>56487483What would be more reasonable? It costs 50% more, and you get 45 Safari Balls instead of 30. 500 seemed like a good number at the time.
>>56487496>It costs 50% moreSo 750?>500 seemed like a good number at the time.My mistake, I though 500 was the regular number of steps. Just checked, it's 300. In this case yeah, 500 was the right call.
>>56483065I've updated her backsprite because I thought she looked ridiculously static.>BW3 Sunscreen Edition: https://www.mediafire.com/file/aadnahjl9aipugjThis new download link won't expire, btw. Not that I'm planning to change more stuff, but if I ever do I'll be able to seamlessly update it.Cheers.
>>56487567Thanks for your hard work, anon.
is showdown modding also discussed here? swear there's no damn place to discuss it nor any documentation on making ability/moves/other shit and i wanna make some shit for cobblemon.namely i wanna figure out a way to make a "custom volatile status" (or anything similar) last for the rest of the battle when activated so that i can use it as a check for situational abilities, if that makes sense
>>56487574Meh, I'm just some twat with too much time on his hands, but thanks.
May I have a gen 1 red randomizer that also randomizes the pallets to random colors please?
>>56487149agree, I was really surprised to see the reception it got. like I can see the appeal, but people really blew it out of proportion. either people are just so starved of decent content that anything will impress them, or people's standards are just way lower than I thought.
Never played any romhacks before, but really wanna give it a try.What are some good romhacks for a more relaxed adventure? I'm not interested in harder difficulties.Also, is there a romhack that forces people to play nuzlocke? Kinda want to give it a try sooner or later.
>>56488454>What are some good romhacks for a more relaxed adventure?Disregarding unfinished stuff and roms that are "just" vanilla games with some QoL changes:PeridotKanto Expansion PakBlack & White 3 GenesisSuper Gold 97Sword & Shield Ultimate Plus
>>56488548Thank you, anon. Gonna look into these.
>>56488454>Also, is there a romhack that forces people to play nuzlocke? Kinda want to give it a try sooner or later.Polished Crystal does, but it's just a Johto retread. Although it's more like porting HGSS to gen 2.
>>56483065What's different about this version?
>>56489646The player character is white.
>>56489651Oh, based.Wish I could program or whatever so I could do that to all these romhacks
>>56488548>QoLI wish Gen 4 got some love beyond QoL hacks, beyond just Plat and HGSS plus. Of course I'm hypocritical here since I also want an HGSS plus, just something more expansive story wise that adds more encounters without giving as many new encounters pre-postgame as Drayano hacks tend to.Or for people to actually keep the physical special split in gen 3 and not water down it's identity.
What do you think about having the other gender PC turn up as a rival and story relevant character?
>>56490673It's fine.
>>56490673Only if you do her better than Lyra or May. Both of them are awful for different reasons.I'd rather see the other character as a secret boss.
>>56490830>ThisAgree, personally I find it weird how bad May and Lyra were, especially coming from a franchise that had a female rival from the conception can be so bad at making them.But I guess getting cut from the R&G beta will do that to you.
>>56476383>Dev team has no spineHard to have a spine if not appeasing the autists can get your game reported and taken down
>>56473445Soooo, romchads. Never played a romhack. Looking for a comfy romhack to play as we're getting into Autumn. Anyone had good experiences with Sacred Gold/Storm Silver? Looks good to me.
>>56476715You are so weak a single word can send you into a frenzy. You are so shitty you have nothing to brag about except muhdickFuck you NIGGER
>>56483065Why do they have random water inside houses and even sofae above that water (how tf)?
>>56490926Their houses sit above the water and these are glass floors. Cause it looks cool as fuck.
I've started Clover, and just about to reach the first gym. I wasn't expecting a Terry A. Davis cameo, though I really should have.I'm mostly unspoiled, it's been a while since I looked at the pokedex, but I have two questions.1- Is the Pikachu thing in Vitalee Forest, since it's a Viridian analog?2- Do I get a way to grow Berries, and when?
>>56490673Two rival is better than one
>>564909761. No, closest one is on Route 32. Theres fixed berry trees that regrow after an hour. Sadly can't grow your own.
>>56490673If you're making unique player sprites, you might as well get the most use out of them.
>>56490907One of my first romhacks ever, played it again recently and still loved it. Keep an eye out for Aurora Crystal.
>>56490905when has a hack ever been taken down due to the developers ignoring player ideas?
I'm surprised aesthetic romhacks aren't more common, we all know Pokemon even back then wasn't the prettiest thing (sometimes even incredibly bland) so graphic overhauls to make the games prettier feel like something that should be more common than they are right now (especially with the female demographic of this franchise who tend to be the ones who make such mods/overhauls)
>>56473445>RBGY/GSC hackromsuseless
>>56480846>>56480855>>56480870>>56480873Is that the one with the Regis? Why is it getting an update? Wasn't it finished?
>>56490673I like it. Dark Violet or whatever the fuck is it called did a nice job with it
>>56491444>hackromsI can't believe the gods of trips wasted a roll on this retarded brazilian.
>>56491506shame isn't it
>>564914171. Creating and inserting custom sprites is very time consuming, especially if you want to overhaul everything including the UI.2. Good sprite artists are rare. Good sprite artists that can program are even rarer.3. Essentials is more noob friendly, don't have to worry about things like too many colors, too large spritesheets, etc.
>>56491634Graphics overhauls require minimal programming, if any at all.
>>56491785What I mean is that 99% of romhackers have no spriting talent and rely on resources created by other people.
>tfw I keep bumping Peridot's download numbers by checking the Mediafire link to see if Peridotanon released a new ninja updateI can't help myself, bros...
Imagine if someone were to make a DS romhack of ORAS that would do RSE more justice?
>>56492777I don't see the point since the DS artstyle is meh as fuck. Not to mention Modern Emerald will never be surpassed anyway. Checked, though.
>>56492777Honestly I'd prefer a gen 1 remake that actually adds more to Kanto like the Let's go games did.FRLG are kind of disappointing and even if I don't like the Let's Go games, they at least added more to Kanto instead of just making a 1:1 copy of it.Of course, I'd want to be a Gen 3 hack since I think a gen 4 hack would deviate from Kanto's identity too much. In that same vein I wouldn't want there to be that big of a difficulty increase and wouldn't want new gen shit in it.
>>56492807What did Let's Go add aside from the super trainers?
>>56492821>The og female trainer option being a rival, which was kind of also merged with Green. Even if she only appears as a secret boss.>Some story events with Gym Leaders and Elite 4 members showing up before you'd normally meet them. Like Loreli appears on route 10 to defeat team rocket.>Rocket Admin Archer appearsIt's not much really, but I would like to see little things like this which add to the story included and it's what I really expect from a remake, not just some 1:1 rehash of the same games or some butchering of it by adding too much future gen stuff.Of course I'd want the female rival to play a part in the story as well, that might be a bit much, but she was supposed to be a character originally anyways but was cut in the beta. I'd also like to see the other Rocket Admins appear, Let's go did some things right and honestly my biggest problem story wise with Gym Leaders and the Elite 4 in that they so often do nothing and stand around.The anime's team rocket jessie, james, and mewoth also appear. But that's a neutral point I'm fine with them being there and not being there.
>>56492916Anime Team Rocket showed up in Yellow too.
>>56492807It's gonna be difficult to find a gen 1 remake using the gen 3 engine that doesn't add new gen shit, I'm afraid.There are gen 1 romhacks that add some stuff on top of the original games, though.
>>56492663 Does that number go up just with page views? I thought it only would when you clicked the download button.There's a ninja update for the Safari Zone step issue I brought up yesterday.
>>56492999From my testings they do count page views, yeah. Unless Mediafire employees download shit off their users as soon as a download link is generated and before it even goes public. Who knows. I refuse to test it further because it triggers my autism. And thanks. Will update tomorrow.
>>56491166>Aurora CrystalSee you in 2029 fren
Pokemon brown us p good so far, except for the route design. This shit feels like it was made by a schizo AI
>>56490910NOW THTAT'S WHAT I CALL AUTISM.
>>56493382I'll be there no matter what o7... or no matter when o7
>>56492786>emeraldinstant L, massively overrated game.i grew up with RSE, never thought they were that good. GSC were much more fun.
>>56493898that's cool but you realize the post you're responding to, was in response to a hypothetical Hoenn remake for DS? so if you don't like RSE, you were never going to like that idea to begin with.his point was there's not much that a DS remake could do that hasn't already been done in Emerald hacks. it would essentially just be a graphics overhaul, and not a very exciting one imo
Want to try a romhack; haven't played any yet. Looking at Unbound / Exceeded / Radical Red, but also some others. What do you think about the following:R.O.W.EFire x Red ExtendedBlue Stars 4Emerald CrestHyper Emerald Lost ArtifactsEmerald Plus PlusBlack Pearl EmeraldSword and Shield Ultimate PlusScorched SilverMega Hoenn AdventuresAutumn OrangeOnly really care about having more mons like up to gen 8 or more, or new areas.
