How do you even make an hackrom
I stopped making my ROM hack ages ago but I still have all the notes. I don't know why I still have /rheg/ on my auto-watch.
>>57043596I don't blame you, but I will say that even though I'm not keen on starters being based on human activities I do really that whirling dervish.
>>57043591with great patience
>>57043591Assuming we’re talking about gen 3, making a binary hack by editing a rom with various tools is the best option for a beginner, but editing the code from the decomp allows for much more interesting and complex additions and changes.
>>57043587Posted this and totally forgot that Red++ is already fulled mapped on Github.Can't post the two region stitches because the resolution is too large for 4chan sadly.Kanto+Johto Day: https://files.catbox.moe/1ysqzx.pngKanto+Johto Night: https://files.catbox.moe/83zi0n.png
>>57043670Whoops, mean't this: >>57037404
How do I hide Brendan and May's sprites in the ending of Ruby and Sapphire? I want to record the ending but with only the scenery.
>>57043702You want the real answer? There is no easy way. You need to extract every frame of the animation and manually edit them out.
>>57043708I don't know if you are trying to baiting me, but no, I was actually able to do it with this tool: https://github.com/haven1433/HexManiacAdvanceSprites for the ending are the same of the intro, and the tool can hide them.
>>57043702You could just delete the frames.
>>57043619and assuming I'm talking about gen5?
>>57044028
I want to fill the void Clover left, after finishing it. Is Pokemon Cope good enough right now, or should I wait until later updates?
In Pokemon Crystal Clear in the latest update (2.5.11) they added a secret fight with Prof Oak if you do a non-new game+ and catch all the Pokemon without any gym badges.OAK: You completed my challenge! You completed the entire POKEDEX, with zero BADGES! A feat of true mastery! <Name>! Are you ready to battle me, at my full strength? (Yes or No)No: Wroooooaaaaaarrrr!Yes: <Name>! Your very own POKEMON legend is about to come to an end!Lanturn – Level 72Tauros – Level 75Exeggutor – Level 73Primeape – Level 72Houndoom – Level 73Gyarados – Level 73On last Pokemon: I’m not just some old duff! Let me show you what made me the authority!Defeated: Excellent! Well done, <NAME>!Oak: Impressive! I am ready to pass my knowledge onto you. <NAME> learned OAK’S TECHNIQUES! Chains will build much faster using this method. Now that you know what to look for, you’ll be a master in this wide world of POKEMON! Good luck, <NAME>!
>>57044833>No: Wroooooaaaaaarrrr!wtf
>>57044848I don't understand it either.
>Playing Pokemon Void>Start first mission, fighting ghost mons, and restore ventilation in Botanical area of the capital>Start third battle>Pic related appears>I cant capture this because plotFuck this shit.
>Pokemon Saffron>It's another one of those that tries to cram every pokemon ever in a single regionThese people never learn do they.
>>57044933Rip, sorry anon. Shiny Duskull is one of my first ever, back in Turnback Cave.>>57044967So what's your issue with it? Radical Red and Elite Redux implement it well with the DexNav.
>>57044848>>57044876Bro thinks he's Mr. Briney, old niggas move the same I guess.>>57044833This is a neat thing they added, but soooooo specific to unlock.
I still don't get how to make good maps. It's 10x harder than any of the programming or more technical stuff. It's also so hard to make them feel meaningful. Most early routes in games are completely pointless after you go through them for the first time but then if I stick a moss rock in the first forest to give a reason to go back it just feels out of place.
>>57044028lolthey've barely started hacking gen iv
>>57045449Instead of making a massive region with dozens of routes start small with 4 or 5 routes and 3 cities or something. We need more small scope fangames anyway
>>57043587Wait did someone finally make a Holon romhack?
>>57045573The OP image is from Saffron, dunno much about the game though.
>>57045449If you want the player to come back later, add some progression, items, or NPCs hidden behind surf sections.
reminder that david wants to rape little girls!
>>57045762Don't we all
>>57045839
>>57045839I prefer if they consent.
>>57045449I've been mapping as a hobby for years and I'm still not totally confident lol. there are some that I'm really proud of, but then have imposter syndrome and get nervous about showing them off cause other people won't see what I see.my process is to start with some kind of core concept or centrepiece to build around. like a river, lake, hill, or a building. or maybe a gimmick like a maze, or HM puzzle, or playing with elevation. figure out where you want to place that, and then build a rough outline of the geography around it. think about where you want trainers and items as you go along, and use that to inform you. like you might want to make a chokepoint to force a fight, or add an alternate path where you can cut through grass to avoid a trainer. and also stuff like little hidden areas to stick items. better to think about that stuff as you go to build the map around it, instead of trying to force it in later. also, try to keep in mind what the player perspective will be. if you're in porymap you can have a square that shows the player view, it really helps with spacing. always try to have a landmark or guiding path in view so the player doesn't get confused. and then just go through and fill in details. and do multiple drafts. when I get "writer's block" I step away and work on another map, then come back in a few days and go over it again. it helps you see it with a new perspective. study official maps too, a lot of fan maps I think try hard to make their maps aesthetic and forget that it's supposed to be played too, and that a lot of the choices in official maps make more sense from the gameplay perspective. as for making maps "meaningful", idk, I don't think every single route needs a reason to come back. for some you can place buildings with important npcs, or you could put hidden areas gated with HMs like surf. but it's not.a big deal if some routes are just for transit imo
Is there an Alola demake yet and not just gen 7 mons in a regular game?
>>57046090
>>57046485Play through the shareware episode of Doom a couple times, even if it's just on easy. You won't get so much from enemy placements, but you'll get an idea of how to direct players around a space that is roughly comparable to something overhead.Keep in mind landmarks for player orientation, entice players with a reward they can see but not necessarily get right away, and most importantly just test your stuff and make tweaks until it's fun to navigate.
What are some unique gym puzzles you've seen in a fangame? Or just puzzles you really liked? I need inspiration.
>>57046637What type?
>>57046637I wish there was a guide to making puzzles or something, it's the one part of mapping I still really struggle with. I can knock out a brought draft of a town or route like it's nothing, but my brain shuts down when it comes to puzzles. I've been trying to come up with a good idea to replace gym puzzles altogether, but I still want some HM puzzles. it'll probably be one of the last things I tackle lol
>>57046671Any type really but the ones I'm trying to think of right now are Poison and Dragon.
>>57046770those are tricky ones to think of puzzles for. do the gyms have themes beyond just their type? like, Koga's gym puzzle is based around him being a ninja, not poison itself. try to approach it from that angle I guess.
>>57046637>>57046702At least in my opinion, the best gym puzzles are just iterations on the traversal challenges you find in the area rather than based on a theme or gimmick. Stuff like the ice floor in Mahogany and the strength puzzle in Blackthorn being similar to the ones you find in the Ice Path for example. Assuming you are not coding an entire one use minigame or just making a winding linear path with some trainers, the Gym should work like any other cave or route.
>>57046637THAT sliding puzzle in Vega because it pissed me off with how finnicky it was
thoughts?
>>57047828it's okay. a little basic but it's a decent start. personally I would break up the pathway into smaller segments to look a little more natural. and the diagonal pathway on the left could be awkward to navigate, diagonals don't work great because it's a lot of pressing up-left-up-left-up-left..maybe try to straighten it a little, or push the trees back on either side and expand the grass there?I like the river and bridge. it's a good focal point and the basic layout is solid, just needs some work on the details.
>>57047828It might look good to make curved routes, but remember that you lack diagonal movement.
>>57047828>>57048633Also diagonal routes waste a lot of map space. Over half of that map is tree filler.
>>57047828So much wasted space blocked with trees
>>57049013>>57049024dumb complaint and obvious samefag
>>57043587What is Saffron?
>>57046586Thanks for the wisdom anon!>>57047828Pretty much agree witg this >>57047858diagonal routes seem just a little bit annoying. Maybe you could branch it off into sone of those tree-filled zones and add something for the player. Mayve a little flower patch or pond? Idk>>57049148https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-saffron-version.417867/
I've been going through all this bullshit of trying to stitch my maps together because people always said that rpg maker will lag. I just made a 200x200 as a test and this shit doesn't lag at all. I've been lied to.
>>57049191I've also heard this but I've never had any issues stitching everything together. There was a project I was working on a while back that tried to have an old-school final fantasy feel with an "overworld" and towns you could enter by walking on top of the single town tile and all that. That map was 100x100 to start but I also didn't notice any lag. What's the problem with making the connections? Continuity between maps? Tedium?
>>57049284>What's the problem with making the connections?RMXP has no map culling, so it loads every connected map at the same time.
>>57049296Don't know for certain but I'm pretty sure this isn't right. I think they're rendered visually if they're connected but everything else about it is inactive. Such as any events that are on the map, etc.
>>57046770For poison, what about a greenhouse or garden sort of place with lots of poisonous plants in it, which inflict status ailments if you walk through them? But the gimmick is that all the gardens are labelled with the irl scientific names of them so if you can distinguish deadly nightshade from the humble tomato you can proceed unmolested
>>57049296This is pretty fixable by some gateway house system, no? All you would need is another- unconnected- map to serve as the in-between and you wouldn't have to worry about having every single map connected. You wouldn't have to do it with every route, either. Just a few and the problem solves itself, no?
>>57049440Yeah, you just split the maps up with gates every once in a while.

>>57051494Well fuck you too then.
>>57044811>>57051618>not vandashone job
>>57045449Some tips:1) know where the player is going. If you know where you want the player to go you can plan what kind of routes to include. Ideally, having a minimal number of routes let you see what you can add or take away.2) make routes organic. What I mean by this is don’t always have straight hallways or lanes cause that would be boring. Real terrain has growth or paths that suggest history or detail.3) give an easy way to loop back. Reward the player for traversing your route by giving them a shortcut. Kanto route 1 is great simple example of this. In fact, I would look at other Kanto routes and see how interact with each to get an idea for map design; the way routes loop in on themselves makes traversing the region interesting (diglett cave, the saffron intersection, the underground).
>>57047828In the north west area with trees put a maze so that there is something interesting for the player to find off the beaten path. Also make use of the river by putting goodies at either end; not sure when you can get surf in your game, but it would incentivize later exploration.

>>57053057Looking good bro!
the very first shiny i encountered was a koffingit was in pokemon silver, in rocket base, among their trapsit self destructedi roamed the place for hours before giving up and moving on, only later i heard of shinies (i thought the red gyarados was one time thing)yesterday i encountered a shiny koffing in a moemon hacki already had a shiny joltik so it wasn't that exciting but im glad i got itits closing a circle for me

>>57053057The bridge is awkwardly narrow, but otherwise it looks good.
Is there a guide, or at least a pokedex for Quarantine Crystal? Been having trouble finding any documentation on it, and the discord appears to be exclusively voice channels.
>>57055487The devs are extremely gay about guides and don't want anyone to make them.
>>57055505How incredibly gay. I figured that was the case when it wasn't on reddit of all things. Was hoping there was some secret github or some shit some anon had. I just want the evolution levels/methods if nothing else honestly
>>57055505How can I use hacking tools to view the raw data? I'm not a rom hacker in any way but I'd really like to have all this information. And possibly even post it as a "fuck you" to the dev.
>>57055505What if someone just like, makes one anyway? What are they gonna do?
I'm working on my second town and I can't help but feel like my placement of the 3 random houses feels a bit sporatic
>>57055973Exactly. Which is what is making me try to find out how to extract the data from the rom, I'm assuming with hacking tools. Unfortunately I haven't attempted romhacking since about 2007 and it was just sprite replacements. So if anyone can give me a qrd that would be helpful.
>>57055487https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MAMj_o_cO2qMGoIYmyFep3j4TLUR_gULy9lCE__Qe2E/edit?usp=drivesdk>>57055995Are you reviewing official towns in the other games as well? I feel like if you build a path between the houses it would feel more connected, maybe something in the center of the town too, and make it a bit less rectangular overall?
>>57055995It feels like there is a lot of dead space in the middle, like if you stood in the middle of the town there'd be nothing to see.Maybe the map should be smaller or the houses should be further from the treeline?
>>57055995>>57056024Well, maybe you don't need a path between the houses themselves per se, but just some trees, flowers, and Pokecentres/Marts to fill in the emptyness if you're planning to add those, usually 2nd towns do.
>>57056071>paths = yellow paint = suggested progression route>no paths = optional content
>>57056024 #>>57056071 #I want to make sure I have the houses in the right places before I start putting in the paths and decorations>>57056060 #Originally the farm was in the middle but then I couldn't figure out where to put the houses because of that
>>57056071Also holy crap, no wonder it felt like something was missing, I don't have a pokecenter or mart
>>57056121When you put it like that
>>57053816shit, obviously meant for >>57053669
>>57056344I thought that was supposed to be a yard, not a farm. If the player is supposed to plant berries there, it feels kinda claustrophobic. It would probably be a bit cumbersome to navigate. Look at the berry farms in other games, they usually take a fair bit of space. In that case, you could probably make the farm bigger and squish the other houses closer together. That way there would always be a place of interest somewhere in the screen.
Alright, this is what I've got now
>>57056493Huge improvement on all fronts anon!
>>57056493Needs flowers
>>57056493looking good, just need to fill in the dead space with some decoration. I agree with the anon above that you could probably expand the Berry farm a bit into the empty space next to it
Any hacks for G/S/C that have :-Trainer rematches -"Field move" or similar mechanic to not depend on HM slaves?Pokemon Shin B/R spoiled me with those and now I can't go back.
>>57044833>latest versionDoes it still have that random skin color generation """feature""" for NPCs which results in niggers all over the place?
>>57056767Agreed, just like the first town>>57056850I'll be doing that next, as well as adding some events
>>57057002Coral makes it so that you just need the HM and a Pokemon that can learn it, but not a Pokemon that knows it.
So I got this error when healing at my first pokecenter
>>57057331It tells you exactly what went wrong.
Here's my current map of Pashun Town
>>57058015The thin paths bother me but thats just me being a dick
>>57058015This bad boy can fit so many berries in it.Is "Pashun" supposed to be like "Passion"?
>>57058015looking a lot better, I could nitpick it but you're showing solid improvement. keep it up. make sure you test it and see if it feels good to run around, the player perspective might make you see it differently
>>57053611>>57053678>>57053693Can’t wait. I’ve been holding off Emerald hacks for a few so I’m not feeling bored when this drops
>>57058077That's exactly the intention

After finishing the game, im thinking of doing the 2nd run of Elite 4+Champion of Clover. So help me decide on a team for the challenge.This is the box with my most leveled pokemon at the moment (+80 to 100). I can use Grindhaus to level any other mon, or at least just the +60 but under 80 I have sure; But to make thing easier I show this anyways.If legendaries, either or both Clovenix & Heliofug if possible.Only shiny I have are Fireshitre and Gampster if you ask, and could be valid options.
>>57059605Thanks :3

>>57044833>crystal clearwon't play your tranny self insert game
>>57044967I don't mind the pokemon, I just wish they'd stop adding sit no one cares about and release the fucking game. Years of literally no updates then they say "hey guys, we're adding in poffins :)". Real "Barkley 2" vibes.
Any cool romhacks come out recently?
why do I always have to play as a new pokemon trainer? I'm not new. I'm OLD and experienced.Let me pick a team of whatever pokemon I want, because I already caught 'em all, (for all you know) and battle against other veteran trainers.

So I'm working on mapping inside of the random houses, and it kind feels lazy to make them all just some derivative of the player's house but I'm not sure what else to do
>>57061794Move things a bit, not every house has to have two set of plants, a table in the middle and a kitchen on top left
>>57059796>pokemon cloverwon't play your tranny self insert game

What's the deal with this "Legacy" guy? I dont really get why he's trying to hype up a basic edit hack.
>>57064726Because he's already in the youtube system so it gets him more views each time.
>>57064770The issue is that he paints himself as being so much smarter than everybody else with his generic, unoriginal “improvements” to the vanilla games
>Swapped Dark and Ghost like every one says>Copies Sand/Hail buffs from later gens >Gives better movesets and stat buffs (mostly unoriginal outside of the 1 Sceptile thing)>Claims to be within the spirit of the original yet puts a block in front of main story Ray>swaps Blue/Red Orbs for Team Aqua/Magma (when the entire point is that they took the wrong orb)>This convoluted nonsense with Steven/Wallace/Juan purely because he wanted Steven to be champ in main storyMeh, most of the changes are dime a dozen. The only reason to play this is if you want a "vanilla" ish hack instead of one with all the bells and whistles that we get on a regular.

>>57066885you'll regret playing either of them
>>57066858Oh the horror!!!!!
>>57066913I'm not taking any chances, Pokemon autists are deranged number autists that believe knowing and exploiting EVs is the only proper way to play.

>>57066940nta but he does have a point. The Pokémon series was and is intended to be an easy experience that even children could enjoy. Turning a campaign into a smogon simulator does take away a good bit of soul
>>57066961Pokemon wasn't designed to be zero-resistance until recently.
>>57066966Gonna disagree there. Each game has like, 1 truly difficult fight, which can all be cheesed with the right items/moves/strategy. Other than that it’s only ever been difficult if you’re an actual child with limited reading and/or critical thinking skills
>>57067016>it’s only ever been difficult if you’re an actual childAnd hacks are designed by and for people who have already played these games a thousand times. There's a line between making some fights more difficult and going with nothing but Smogon sets.

With all this gym discussion, I'm wondering. Is misdreavus too strong for the ace of gym 1
>>57067252How do I make one of these
>>57067463The problem with Misdreavus is that it is immune to the majority of moves you have up to that point, but also has good special defense to tank other hits. So unless you have a bunch of options with Bite, you'll be SOL in dealing with it.
>>57067463That thing isn't available until Mt. Silver in GSC you sick fuck, Radical Reddit award!Real talk, its BST is slightly above mid-starter tier. I think its fine, especially since players usually already have an advantafe in team size early on if they're catching stuff.
>>57067360What the hell does this even mean? Roark has a Pokemon with a 70 base power move and an attack stat 80 points higher than Nosepass. Base Roxanne has 70+ power moves with STAB Rock Tomb.
>>57067510>>57067518Well, Sprigatito gets bite at level 7, it and the other two starters should have stab moves by the first gym. Plus misdreavus can be caught before the gym, as well as pumpkaboo and zorua
>>57067599What’s the move set for Misdreavus though
>>57067435try here, idk if it's what you're looking for but worth a shothttps://github.com/Pawkkie/Team-Aquas-Asset-Repo/tree/main
>>57067622I'm not entirely sure, but maybe Confusion, growl or confuse ray, and Hex
>>57067660As long as you've got enough non-normal moves in the early game mons' movesets, it's probably fine.
>>57067641I unfortunately did not find what I was looking for there, but thanks for the help anyways
>>57067719I know Gaia has a rancher overworld npc sprite, maybe its source is listed in the credits somewhere? If not maybe you could reach out to Spherical Ice yourself.>>57067599>Sprigatito, Zorua, PumpkabooBased. Sounds good to me.
>>57067738Pumpkaboo is also used by the leader
>>57067435This guy?
>>57067719ah, I know the rancher overworld sprites are in those resources cause I have them in my project. they're for Gen 3 https://github.com/Pawkkie/Team-Aquas-Asset-Repo/tree/main/Overworld%20Trainer%20Sprites/Delta231s%20Collaborative%20HGSS%20Resource/Delta231but not sure about the in-battle sprites, I probably won't get around to adding those later on. good luck, if you find something, post it here
>>57067560>Two thirds of his team has stealth rock >His ace is a fossil mon with 125 attack Kinda funny looking back
>>57067845Yup, thanks
Here's my first attempt at designing my first gym lesder
I'm playing through Infinite Fusions for the first time, and caught Paras in Viridian Forest.Damp Parasect with Spore and False Swipe has been my best for catching everything under the sun, so I'm wondering what would be good to fuse him with to improve him.
>>57068029Probably a rock type, get rid of that 4x weakness to grass
>>57067981Are her panties also white with a purple ribbon?This is important.
>>57068040>4x weakness to grassYou mean Fire?
>>57068081Yes I meant fire, I think I put "grass" because I was thinking about how much rock compliments grass as a type
>>57068065I don't even know how to respond to this
>>57068131Is that a yes?
What do you think of adding Fakemon that evolved from canon Pokemon, like what Vega did?
>>57068142I don't fucking know. She's a child, I'm not thinking about her underwear
>>57068209Very based, I wish more fan games would do that
>>57068316Ok, but wouldn't you be worried about GF introducing a cross-gen evo to a Pokémon you gave one to in your project?
>>57068326don't worry about it David, by the time that happens you will have scrapped the design anyway. just keep making more starters.
>>57068308>nopan + white tightskinky
>>57068308how did an innocent anon like you manage to discover this site? that pantsu question shouldn't have taken more than 5 seconds of thought
>>57067937Are you doing a gen 4 hack? Essentials? Or gen 3 with gen 4 style sprites?>>57067981Cute!
>>57068376I'm not innocent, I just find pedophilia gross
>>57068458Essentials, and thanks for saying she's cute. I chose the colors for the bows and hair based on her ace
mobilefagging out rn, wanna hack roms but, and not unexpectedly i mean we're talking bare minimum a hex/binary editor, there aint SHIT to make romhacks with on phones
>>57068482nope. buy a laptop if you wanna play with the big boys
>>57068496eww, monetary exchange
>>57068358Is that really David?
>>57067360Roark's Cranidos mogs this entire team.
>>57067560>>57068553>look at *official thing that exists*>your argument is invalidniggers, that cranidos is ALSO too strong, I would argue, as a first gym pokemon- even as the ace. It's more forgivable just because of how long it takes to actually get to the fight but on paper base 125 attack with a decent STAB move is typically too strong so early on. It only gets a pass because rock is weak to 2/3 starter types and the third was specifically designed to evolve right before the fight where it gains access to a fighting-type move
I don't understand why people even like piss easy pokemon games. It sucks the fun out of them when you just curbstomp every single trainer. I don't even remember the last time I've lost a match in an official game.
>>57066149>Started in 2020its never getting released
>>57068209I like that, same with fakemon regional forms and convergents. Elite Redux added a bunch of these in the latest update.
>>57068795Is ER a difficulty hack, or is it just a cool "fuck you heres new strong mons your opponents get too"
desu I don't mind harder romhacks but these difficulty hacks where you have to play in a certain way or change your team to fight a boss/gym leader is annoying. No, I don't want to fight specific mons to get IVs or EVs, I don't want to waste my mons moves with toxic or protect
>>57068805I think it depends, they put in 3 difficulty types and 3 level cap types that you can toggle. Just threw a collage together for you since the game explains them pretty well. The game also has a Debug patch that you can use. I like using it to start with whatever I want and control shininess.
>>57068461>adds loli to his game>"I just find pedophilia gross"This doesn't add up
>>57068577>>57067360There is no real reason to whine about Roxanne when you have Treecko/Mudkip/Lotad/Seedot/Wingull on top of whatever he felt like adding in the hack as options for hitting rock types super effectively.Looking at that movepools, Roxanne is just weaker overall since two of her pokemon lost STAB Rock Tomb and on Nosepass, the AI is likely to click that over Headbutt since its stronger by 5 BP after boost.1st gyms being complete pushovers is honestly less common than them being capable of putting up of a fight if you aren't careful at this point in the series.
if you're going to obsess over EVs and IVs and natures just go play showdown instead already
>>57068889 Stay away from the porn for a bit bro. And the playgrounds.
>>57068639This got posted in their Discord back in June, a fully mapped out Sevault Canyon with a video walking through it: https://files.catbox.moe/g1rmso.mp4Even it takes 4+ more years I'm cool with it, it's just exciting to see gen 4 hacking getting pushed like this at all. It is a very ambitious hack though.
>>57069039Looks like shit though
>>57069241Personally prefer it to the original, more emphasis on the "canyon" aspect, and it makes good use of the gen 4 3D world. It's fine if you feel that way though.
>>57044833>if you do a non-new game+ and catch all the Pokemon without any gym badges.Whats even the point, add this kind of stuff assuming someone will play a super hard mode for le secret ending like if it was undertale? its very retarded
>>57069279Intriguing how there's no "stairs" on the away side of inclines. Is it a limitation of the way walls/dropoffs work, or would stairs simply not look traversible if they were on the away side of the rocks?>either wayi do like the windy nature the all-one-sided stairs almost force the route to have, and its arguably better than >>57069039 on looks at least.
>>57069039Gen 4 hackers have to come to the realization that literally nobody likes Rock Climb.
>>57069789FRLG had an instance of north-facing stairs, but it's never used for rocks.
>>57070101It is, on that island south of the Trainer Tower.
>>57070118Oh yeah, you're right.
>>57068935This is why radical red is the only difficulty hack I’ll play. AFAIK no other romhack has “minimal grinding mode” that removed 99% of the tedium like RR does
Any romhack or fanpatch of BW/B2W2 that adds Exp Share for all pokemons?
>start romhack that looks cool>immediately plot heavyGod DAMN it this is like the third time in a row. Can somebody recommend me a romhack that isnt fucking bullshit? I just want a good Pokemon game.
I want to start pokemon white/white 2 with a nidoran (male) that has its hidden ability. Is this doable with a medium-to-low time investment ?

>>57070486None that I know of. You could hack in 6 of the regular exp shares to act as the Exp. All key item in the old games. It would mean no other held items, but that coukd be part of the challenge if you wanna look at it thst way.>>57071561Download PKHeX.

Guess I'll post another collage to bump the thread.These are some new regional forms for a bunch of mons in Platinum Redux. It seems like the dev is adding new ones monthly. Looks like they added a bunch if future gen mons too.https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-platinum-redux.525725/
>>57072901This is what happens when ignorance wins
>>57072901why is the romhack community like this?
>>57073864What community? They removed any traces of /vp/ (the place where it started) and locked themselves in a discord server like a bunch of troons.
which one of these looks better for a first route, left or right?>>57073771I like the Magmortar and the Rampardos
>>57073964nice. maybe add some trees in the corners to make it a little less boxy? diagonals don't really work on player paths, but I don't mind them around edges. just preference tho>>57074070I like the right, it's more unique visually. but they're both solid, I would think about the geography of the region at large and pick the one that fits best
>>57073964>>57074070Pretty much share the same opinions as this anon. >>57074091>>57073964 is good but feels just a bit too rectangular, maybe extend the western or southern side with another flower patch and tall grass and/or a pond to catch some stuff? Or even just smooth out some edges with trees, whatever feels good to you. Is it possible to implement the Evergrande flowers from RSE?>>57074070Right does stand out more to me personally. Like something you might see in the Safari zone.I like those two a lot too, Venusaur and Snorlax as well. Kabutops also reminds me of the betamon in Peridot called Skelegon.
>>57074070I like the right more as a concept but direct transitions between dirt and tall grass look strange and the green tree shadows are straight up ugly on bare dirt. This part specifically looks terrible.In my opinion, rather than replacing grass with dirt on an otherwise good-looking route, you should leave the left one as it is and design a better looking map similar to the right one somewhere else.
What is a good way to cram in every pokemon from every gen into your hack?
>>57074808Encounter tables that change depending on trainer ID.
>>57074811Wouldn't that lock pokemon depending on your save state?
>>57074884if you want all of them to be available to every player than not a whole lot you can do other than cramming them in routes. you could also have a bunch of trade and gift pokemon, maybe some put behind side quests, timed encounters a la Drifloon or Lapras, OW encounters like Snorlax or Sudowoodo, dexnav only encounters. you'll probably need a fairly sizable world to avoid it feeling overstuffed
>>57072901You guys kept calling it a 4chan hack, but I knew it was secretly a tranny hack. I am vindicated.
>>57074091>>57074367
>>57074808something like the National Park or the biodome thing from the SV dlc would work for a lot of them
>>57074808Different encounter tables on different days of the week.
>>57074973You could make a big safari zone with unlockable areas.
>>57075189Simple yet effective.
>>57072901They must have put a lot of effort into the DST-switching event and are sad to see it be all for naught.
I presume that ROM hacks for for Sword&Shield count to for this thread, so I will ask:I barely played Sword but dropped it, and after playing Scarlet which I liked; But I want to go back to try Gen VIII, so maybe try an overhaul mod or similar. Are there any overhauls or fanmade patch that improve Sword&Shield?
>>57074808The most elegant but hardest way is a big/multiple regions.Otherwise you could perhaps set up a "fake GTS" where you can trade for Pokemon from outside the region.
>>57072901Meanwhile pokemon clover 2.0 will be released anytime because orange man won.
>>57072901Aren’t most of the devs European? Why would that matter?
>>57076105They need to ruin Clover a bit more first. Come up with more anti-player tricks and the like.
>>57075189>>57075362>>57074808RR, ER, and Unbound for the first 8 gens do this pretty well imo. Putting tall grass in towns and having different encounter tables in cave/dungeon floors should help, little areas tucked away. I think having a DexNav with an option or code to see everything right away makes the overstuffed routes complaint a meme, but people still complain regardless.>>57076010Divine Sword and Blessed Shield had my attention.>>5707290110 replies and still no proof...
I have the docs for radical red 4.1. Ive looked through them several times, as well as tried to search online, but can't seem to find anything about the terrain extender, from its location down to if it's even in the game anymoreDoes anyone here know for sure if it is of else where I can get it?

I've also seen it happen to others over smaller things, like just mentioning 4chan or for datamining the game and any time I've tried to appeal the ban either through my art or other means, that gets nuked without any answer as to even what I did wrong.

>>57077250You're a fag, and likely touch children.
Someday we will have someone crazy enough to do a Pokemon engine on Godot or Unity. But even movement from scratch that feels like the game would take time.
>>57046090>or maybe a gimmick like a mazeIt doesn't help that the core Pokemon overworld mechanics are stuck in the 8-bit era.For example, field moves don't have to just be Game Freak's HMs. GF rehashed the same basic shit because they're lazy fucks. Someone could try something like:>Fire, Water, Grass, Electric field moves>Each has its own qualitative effect>The effect may dynamically scale based on a second factor, like BP or manually committed PPI know stuff like this takes extra effort, but I think it's the next frontier for fan-projects. People are getting tired of QoL, story, and difficulty hacks.>But more HMs means more tediumNo it doesn't, you unimaginative, hypothetical retard. Ancillary mechanics would have to be built around these systems, like:>Signposting an area's compulsory moves>Field PCs>Expanding reserve party to e.g. 8, where you can keep 2 extra Pokemon in your bag or with a traveling companion>Having certain/all field moves be optional to progress>Assigning compulsory field moves to common combat moves>Assigning compulsory field moves to Pokemon attributes like height and weight instead of movesYou can keep going. It really is just a failure of imagination at this point.
>>57077258Not to mention a mentally ill, self-loathing troon
>>57077315that's in progress with BDSP as the base
Having some difficulty coming up with a town following this route. Previous routes and town were in a marsh, with the idea of the marsh subsiding into a meadow (pic). I've already done a forest-heavy series of routes and towns, so what would ideally be next? Savannah? Plains? This would be the late 20s of the level progression curve.
>>57077395What Pokemon do you want the player to have access to next?
>>57077403Not sure. I was considering a somewhat moderately healthy mix of basic types in the beginning before broadly spreading into the more diverse types, but I'm still on the fence about Pokemon distribution at the moment since I'd like to first finish the routes and then allocate accordingly.I do plan on slipping in some hidden grottos that would have rare encounters not typical of the area to alleviate some type hyperfocusing, though.
>>57077207David does.
>>57077427Pick some of your favorites that aren't available yet and make the next area whatever would be appropriate for them to appear.
>>57077395what helped with mapping my region, was first I made a mock up map of the whole landmass in Inkarnate (you could just draw or use paint too if you don't wanna learn new software). a lot of stuff changed as I went along but it really helped me visualize what all the routes & towns would look like and keep the biomes consistent and realistic. but I'm also just a geography/cartography nerd so I enjoy doing stuff like that, I understand if you'd rather make it up as you go. but that aside, plains/savanna sounds good. then maybe build up elevation into a mountainous area. but I would also think about, what kind of Pokemon are gonna appear at this stage of the game, what type the local gym leader is, how this area fits into the region as a whole, and also just want kind of map you want to make. the best maps start with a clear vision of what you want to make, not just trying to fit in a biome to knock it off a checklist.
>>57077403This. Game balance is more important than realism. People are going to care more about game feel and mon availability than whether the tectonics and weather systems of your map correlate correctly to that of Earth's.
>>57077509Fakemon dex, so I haven't even started on that.>>57077521A good point. So far, I started off deep in the forest region before transitioning into a rocky mountainside, that ends up being a rabbit hole into a totally new location that winds up in a marsh. So I was thinking something that would naturally progress from a meadow near a marsh, as mountains would be a bit of a ways away from that point on. Maybe a savanna would be best since I can shift that into a desert or beach? What do you think? I'll try to map it out beforehand once this particular nab in my head's dealt with.
>>57077609>Maybe a savanna would be best since I can shift that into a desert or beach? What do you think?yeah that sounds good to me. only other thing I can think of would be like a river or lake system. but if you want to make a savanna, I say go for it. >>57077607true but I do think it's worth putting *some* thought into the geography. it doesn't need to be perfectly realistic, but I think consistent biomes makes a region more immersive. sometimes when GF shoves a desert or snowy area into a map only to have a place for ice types, it doesn't feel great. but I think as long as you don't do anything too outrageous like that you're good. like I said though I probably put more thought into this than most cause geography is my special autistic interest lol
>>57076551 (me)I made a few changes to my map here. I'm working on a Harvest Moon-inspired game (Called Story of Seasons now, I believe) which means that this is going to be pretty much the only overworld map that the player will walk around in. Therefore, I probably do have to get it right. Tell me how and why this sucks, and how I can fix it.
>>57077769it's kind of just empty. too much green space. normally I would say you should compress it, bring everything closer together so there aren't these big empty gaps. although if it's the only big map in the game, maybe you don't wanna make it too small. but you definitely need to fill in some of that space, maybe with more buildings or at least just decoration. try to make it less square too. like, give the beach front some shaping to it so it's not just a straight line.
>>57077769also just a couple ideas that would help make it look more fleshed out >make the hill with the cave bigger/more complex>expand the pavement around the fountain to make a little town square, add some doodads like benches>expand the beach in front of the lighthouse>maybe add a flower meadowyou don't have to do those things specifically, just the first things that come to my mind
>>57077720Thing is, realism doesn't make a map more immersive since most people have no idea what the world looks like. Earth is full of outrageous landscapes people would consider unrealistic. Vibes are far more important for immersion and in a game, as long as the player is having fun they are going to be immersed no matter what. People are not going to care about an out of place dessert or snowy area as long as they have cool pokemon to catch and cool trainers to fight. Likewise, people are not going to care about how thoughtful your region's map design is if the game is not fun.
>>57077769and sorry for the triple post but this is just coming to me. I'd also add a few solo trees scattered around in the empty spaces. just to break up the visual monotony
>>57077769oh and some rocks too>>57077875idk if I entirely agree with you. I see people criticize the haphazard "theme park" nature of modern GF maps all the time and praise regions like Hoenn for having more realistic biomes. I agree that gameplay is MORE important, but I don't agree that realism is entirely unimportant. I think there's a middle ground you should try to achieve. like, in Hoenn as the example, the desert is a little out of place, but not so much that it takes you out of it. but if there was a snowy area there, it probably would.
>>57077895Thats because modern games are not fun. The janky gameplay takes people out of the experience and thats when they start noticing that the trees are shit or that there are no bamboo forests in spain.
>>57077932fair. but I stand by it. the way I see it is, unrealistic biomes aren't necessarily going to turn anybody off your game if they're having fun. but, putting some thought into it can make a good game even better. I'm not saying you need to go as far as to sit down and map out tectonic plates and wind currents and shit, unless you enjoy that. and you should never let realism get in the way of making the maps you want to make. but if I notice somebody has put even a little thought, that's the kind of thing that takes your region to the next level. just my opinion tho
>>57077133I can't tell you anon because I agree, if you release a romhack and you get mad people spread what's in it, that's like shooting yourself in the face basically
>>57076754>puts unreleased art in romhack>gets mad when people find it
