What the hell is this?
>>58234305Ghetsis’s mind + Genesect.
>>58210303Still working on trainers. I've given up on debug mode to write the trainer PBS. There were some pros and cons, but in the end, it's just faster if I type it out myself. Okay, there was too much of it in the last thread, but fuck it I'm going to open Pandora's box. I know I said that Snakewood would be the only game I would rip content from for the public versions of the project but.... Evergreen. Would me ripping the fakemon from it be honoring or insulting him? I'm honestly not sure if that would be a good or bad thing, or if I should even do it. The trainers are out of the question since they are 4th gen overworld sprites, so it would just be the pokemon.
its over
>>58234355>Evergreen. Would me ripping the fakemon from it be honoring or insulting him?could go either way, I think it's likely that he would take it as a win. on the other hand, he might be pissed that they're being used for free considering how much he's spent commissioning sprites for them. but his ego might overshadow that and just be happy that his work is getting attention. idk, personally I would avoid it because I think the best way to deal with someone like that is just not give them the attention they desire, but it could be kind of funny too if you mocked him with a trainer. really up to you, I'm sure it would get you some buzz here for better or for worse.
>>58234212Shiny fakemon are super kino imo, i kind of dislike it when hacks reduce the odds but it's only cuz I'm an autist.Planning on shiny hunting in Pokemon Vega cuz I really like how they do the palettes. Noticeable, but still subtle, I think I prefer that to the loud and garish colors a lot of hacks use.
>>58234374last thread was slow and there was a mega announcement this morning, it happens
>>58234386mega announcement being?
>>58234403Malamar, as was expected ever since they started that little promotional stunt.
>>58234382After yesterday’s fiasco got so bad to the point someone has to contact my parents, I think it has to come to this.After my demo finally gets finished and released, I’ll be letting someone else take over the rest of the project and take my name off of it. It’s clear that I don’t really have what it takes to be a director, having to spend god knows how much money on sprite commissions because I’m not a pixel artist (the best I can do is give shiny colors), and me getting banned from various Pokémon/Fakemon communities because of that one video I’ve made last year and alienating everyone around me. It’s best that I get off this website for good (or at least several years when all of this dies down and came back with my behavior changed for the better) and touch grass and live a life outside of this site.So, farewell and celebrate.
>>58234480nobody asked
>>58234488I did
>>58234382Oh, one more thing, you can’t use the Fakemon for your own projects. They’re for Evergreen only.
>>58234382>but it could be kind of funny too if you mocked him with a trainerIt's been in the battle tower since at least the 2nd build.
enough with the the same emerald fire red rom hacks but le QOL and difficulty holy shit
>>58234597Nope, not until other games get ROMbases as comprehensively feature-rich as Gen 3. (It won't ever happen because people would rather make a custom emulator fork, or port their projects to Essentials, than develop for Gen 4 onward if their GBA hacks get too bloated that the hardware literally can't handle it anymore.)
>>58234597ThisI prefer hacks with a new region, story, and/or Fakemon.
>>58234480>>58234574lol didn't ask
>>58234580after this post I think you should definitely use them lol >>58234574
>>58234625do people really give a shit about the story in these games
>>58234765i appreciate them when they're competently done and feel like a real pokemon story, but if they're some weird fanfic thing with mind control and cults and whatever i just shrug it off
>>58234765I don't think they're held to super high standards but it's nice to have something
>>58234212Is there a rom hack for HGSS that ports over the underground/secret bases feature?
>>58234779>i just shrug it offThe only game I did not do this with is odyssey
Any Fakemon hacks you like to see more of?I’ve tried out pic related yesterday and I’ve enjoyed having to play a hack set in an original region based off a part of Japan (Shikoku).
>>58234480>It’s best that I get off this website for good (or at least several years when all of this dies down and came back with my behavior changed for the better) and touch grass and live a life outside of this siteSee you tomorrow, David
>>58235388pokemon pisces was really good
>>58234765Obviously I’m not expecting peak literature, but even something like floral tempus worked because of how compelling it was imo. Just write a story with stakes and add a twist or so and boom it’s good
>>58235388>two separate trainer battle themes, each with day/night versions>but one of them only plays based on RNG
I’m releasing an update to my rom hack and I want to advertise it. >Buy an ad, retard.Here’s the thing. I’m really considering this. I already made ads to 4chan’s sizing requirement, and the pricing is not hard on my wallet. What I want to know is, “Should I?” I think it would be fun to do, but I don’t want to appear as if I’m just jerking myself off or being a pest.
>>58236918>>Buy an ad, retard.I know you're joking, but this IS the romhacking general, we're always happy to see new stuff, including updates.Go for it if you want, most ads on here are a lot dumber and usually not Pokemon related anyways, and if they are it's some YouTube channel or Discord.
what are some good emerald romhacks that arent autist smogon difficulty hacks
>>58237263What do you want out of the game?
>>58237351increased pokemon availabilityperhaps more pokemon (doesnt have to be all 900 but i enjoy having access to regional forms and increased build diversity)special splitbetter movepools (gen 3 learnsets are utter crap)maybe increased difficulty? harder than vanilla but not as tedious as radical red wannabe #38743of the ones ive played, modern emerald and blazing emerald both sort of come close to what i want but fall short in certain areas
>>58237371Wally QuestOne of maybe 2 to 4 Wally games out there, this one has Pokemon from gens 1-7 and the split. There have been some changes to the story, but as I recall, you're still going to the same locations in the same order. (Emerald Wally Version is the one that will send you to locations in a different order, but doesn't have any QoL beyond what's in base Emerald). It is a little more challenging, but if you have one or 2 powerhouses, you can have a few shitmon. You could also try Eris Emerald with all the randomization options turned off.
>>58237408which one would you recommend between emerald and whatever other version of wally mode, and ill check out eris emerald too
>>58237371Inclement Emerald is great, currently mons up to gen 7 with learnsets to match and PSS. Tons of other QoL added as well. I remember I played it on hard mode which wasn't too bad at all, the normal difficulty is probably(?) in line with Drayano's romhacks if you played those, more of a challenge than vanilla but nothing like RR. The game also flashes out Hoenn with several new locations added to the existing areas, adds some novelty and new exploration as well as some relief on the massive encounter tables.There is some stat rebalancing, new abilities, and even typing on some mons if you're okay with that, also similar to Drayano's stuff. Usually with the intent to buff weaker mons give them more of a niche to fill.Here's an online text which lists the changes to the rights when searching for mons.https://inclementemeralddex.neocities.org/There's supposed to be a big update coming out that's a few years in the making with new options, custom regional forms, and other stuff -- no real ETA yet though.
>>58237413I recommend "Wally Quest" over "Wally Version". I haven't played the other ones yet. Here's what it comes down to, Wally Version feels like the Pokemon Yellow experience, so there's no quality of life changes and it will try to railroad you into Wally's team. It really does feel like something GF would have made back in the day, and that's not what you are looking for.
>>58236918Does anyone even click those ads aside from accidentally swiping over them when browsing on their phone? Like surely anyone who understands computers and the internet enough to be here knows ads have the potential to be malicious, and this isn't exactly a site with a good reputation, so who'd even take the risk? This isn't the wider internet full of grandparents and little Timmy's who actually believe there's hot singles in their area looking for them or they just won an xbox, I have to wonder how viable the ads here are.I guess they must have some success (or get botted to hell) or ads would've died out by now, people wouldn't keep buying them if they didn't drive some traffic, not beyond a few people just trying to financially support the site so it can keep going. Perhaps the fact that we do all know what we're doing and the ads are community sourced makes them more genuine, just people trying to get eyes on their indie projects from people they already know have some common ground because they're here, so more people are willing to take a chance?Then again, maybe I'm just the odd one out who assumes all ads are at best misleading and usually a trap. The whole world seems to run on advertising despite how most ads are annoying enough to make me actually avoid stuff I'd otherwise have bought if I'd come across it on my own or through less aggressive promotion.
it's strange to me when people complain about what kind of hacks are coming out considering whatever kind of hack you do like, there's probably tons in that exact style you haven't played.Unless you want original experiences on DS
>>58237501I don't click on them, but I will look up what they are selling. If I see a steam game being advertised, I'll go to steam and type in the name of the the game with a dev crazy enough to advertise here.
>>58237501I've clicked a couple out of curiosity, but never bought anything from them
>>58237533I think part of the problem is people wanting a hack that caters to their own very specific idea or twist or whatever “vibe” is unique to them. That’s why there are so many rebalance hacks that claim to “perfect” things yet all do rebalancing in their own way according to personal taste. It results in a bunch of stuff that pleases relatively few and starts to feel samey. Oh look…another fire red hack that adds physical/special split and makes Cut a bug/grass/whatever move.
>>58231315This looks amazing anon, I love it! definitely gonna use this.>>58231320The Clodsire sprite looks really good too, as well as the Celebi one.>Island Walker filenameIs this Pia Carrot, aka OrangeDev? I love your work bro! The maps, tiles, and sprites I've all seen so far look amazing, not to mention the updated engine. I never watched the Orange Islands segment of the anime, but I think I will so I can appreciate the hack more when it's done. I'm looking forward to the day Orange drops, good luck on it!
>>58237651>Gholdengothanks. That one was penned by me, the Celebi and Clodsire are by a fellow named SageDeoxys.>IslandWalkerSlow development but I've been making some good progress the last couple weeks. Rest of team is burnt out or just really busy with life so engine is kind of a mess.
>>58237599A rebalance hack can be finished in maybe a week. A couple days if you've already thought about it before. A full region takes years.That's why you see so many of the former, they're easy to pump out and are popular with youtube people.
>>58237891even so, am i wrong in saying if you want new regions, new stories, and/or fakemon, you STILL have tons of shit to play?
>>58237898Not at all.
>>58234212>Hey it's me the MOS!
>>58237533You're forgetting that this is /vp/. We're only allowed to hate things here. Like actually, people are more likely to complain about something that they don't like, than post about something they do like. They'll say what they don't like out of something, but have no idea of a better alternative themselves.
Sup faggots, working on my new romhack thought I would re work and old sage fakemon in GBA style since the project is dead and has been for some while. What do you think ;)
>>58238524Shiny
>>58238524i like him, didnt know sage was kil but then again i hardly pay attention
>>58238524I can't wait for a Sage """dev""" to show up to say they're still working on it even though they haven't made any progress in five years
>>58238445
Bros when is Empire going to be completed
>>58239534what made clover succeed where sage failed?
>>58239788It got finished.
Nidokino
>>58239804well...yay ok I set myself up for that one
New HOF. Pokemon Tectonic next.
>>58242048Tectonic is good
I'm going to be updating Peridot this weekend because I found a game-breaking issue, and I'm taking this opportunity to add one or two small QOL features. One of which is a little map popup in the area where you can unlock Lugia's dungeon. Should I go with the left design that is more detailed and obvious as to what it is, or the right one that is (I think) easier to read despite the lack of detail?
>>58242937personally i prefer the left
>>58243026May I ask why?
>>58242937Heh, real niggas didn't even need a map thankfully. Jk, I like the look of the map on the left more, but I think the right one has a nice simplicity to it, adds to the "vagueness" of it too if that makes any sense. I really don't mind either, no preference.
>>58243043Vague is what I was going for. I had Relicanth in mind when I made that version, just nothing nearly as cryptic. Everyone seems to prefer the left one, so I'll go with that.
Why yes, my ideal aesthetic is colorized RB using GS battle sprites (but nothing else). Why do you ask?
>>58243076Any RBY hacks that use the Spaceworld sprites?
>>58243084Yes, Shin Pokered. The gen 2 sprites are my own addition.
>>58234212Any good ROMs with all 1,025 Pokémon?
>>58244714I don't think so. As I recall, the cap for the amount a romhack can have is 1024, and that's counting forms.
>>58244775damn. so one unlucky bastard is getting left out.
>>5823435525 trainers to go. Once that's done, all the hotel NPCs will be ready. From there, I'll have to move on to the PWT trainers. Fortunately, I can recycle MOST of the trainer sets and have them use the same teams as the hotel. I will have to make some changes for the ones with legendaries, but even those would only need one or 2 team members changed out. I've also found out how to change the encounter table for the battle factory, so it's finally fully functional. Level 5 will only give out Pokemon that can be seen as competitive in some way, and open level is for ALL the Pokemon including Exotic Pokemon. I've settled on just calling all fakemon "Exotic Pokemon" in game. >>58234643Noted. But he could have also said that because he knew that people would side with the opposite of what he wanted. Eh, if people call for it when I get closer to putting out version 3 I'll do it. It should only be about an hour of work to import everything.
>>58244900No, more. Forms count as different pokemon. Deoxys takes 4 slots, Rotom takes 6, Alcremie takes 63 slots....
>>58243040i think when u have em side by side the left being more detailed is just more appealing, but if u want vague than right works better obviously
>>58244714Why would you even want that many? Lots of shit designs, lots of redundant Pokemon, and you'd never even get them all, let alone use. I think 300-400 is the sweet spot.
Does anyone know where I can fine sprites of all the pokemon in GBA size? I know they are out there because rom hacks use them, but I wanted to use them for essentials. Some of the default sprites that come with the Gen 9 expansion are too large and go off the screen, so I would prefer a smaller uniform size. DS size is also acceptable, but GBA is the goal.
>>58245696Can always try the various Resources subforums on PokeCommunity. The Rom hacking resources is more fine-tuned for Gen 3 stuff but youll have to resize for Essentials yourself.
>>58244775Not sure where you're getting that from. The expansion is currently at over 1500: https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion/blob/master/include/constants/species.h>>58245696https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion/tree/master/graphics/pokemon
>>58245696you try this?https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/x-y-sprite-project.3486712/it's linked in OP
Crystal Clear v2.5.10.Everytime I use Substitute, the game crashes to a white screen?I'm using TempGBA on the PSP.But it crashes on VBA-M as well.
>>58246806Anon here, somehow I solved it lmao; I just re-downloaded the game from PokéHarbor (where I downloaded it in first place). Btw, i'm not playing on TempGBA, I'm playing in RIN. Is it common for roms to get corrupted like this when playing on old emulators like PSP's RIN ?
playing quarantine crystal and it genuinely is pretty annoying that I have zero clue how or when a mon evolves
>>58246329>https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion/tree/master/graphics/pokemonPerfect. It'll be HOURS of resizing and creating transparency, but it will be worth it since It'll make everything uniform. >>58246331Then again, I could mix 4th and 3rd so that legendaries are larger.
>>58244714you don't need all that lil bro
>>58245623I prefer more vague, but it's not enough to throw out the detailed one entirely. I might give it another pass so it's not just a recolored portion of the map screen. Using a different set of tiles for the water, for instance.
Just finished Pisces, looking for something else in a similar vein. Anything with good regional forms/Fakemon that isn't Odyssey?
>>58244714Elite Redux>But-Elite Redux>>58248359Elite Redux>B-but-Elite Redux
When are we getting a game with the ZA megas
>>58249184Most likely when they come to Champions, that way their abilities can be identified in their finalized states, since it's probable that GameFreak will change their minds or deliberately use differing abilities in the data of LZA to throw off dataminers and their expectations for a mon, similar to how Hisuian Samurott went from having Shell Armor as a HA in Arceus' internal data, only for it to turn into Sharpness in SV.
>>58248588>emphasis on battling instead of catching to the point in which Pokéballs are infinite and have a 100% catch rateMan, maybe, but I'm not hyped.
>>58242048My new team.
>>58249232Are you 1025 guy or fakemon guy?
>>582494031,025
>>58249410Radical Red and ROWE also have all the current natdex mons.
>>58249200Don't feed him. He comes in every now and then and has a meltdown when people tell him it won't be before ZA.
>>58249200I doubt it's to intentionally throw anyone off. Lots of things can change during development, Sharpness didn't even exist until SV.
>>5824535210 trainers to go. I've been thinking. Maybe going dark isn't the way to do this. I could just remove all the stolen assets (so far it's just some trainer/pokemon sprites and the snakeood content), and then publicly post it on pokecommunity and see if any other creators willingly donate their dexs/trainers to the collection. Of cores, I'll have my old privet build for myself and friends with the stolen assets, but still.... The only real downside is that I would have to totally scrap the PWT for the public build since the walking sprites for the Gen 1 leaders are stolen, and I don't know where they came from. I just found a blurry .jpeg on Pinterest and remade them. The worst of it would be taking out the trainer classes in the tower that use stolen sprites. Still, I keep a credits list of things I stole from and could go back and see how much was for public use. At the least, this is something to consider once I put out build 3.
>>58250158not a bad idea, you've put a lot of work into this to just sit on it privately. I bet at least a couple creators might let you use their stuff. most people in this community are pretty chill about sharing assets. fakemon might be a bit more touchy, but it's worth a shot. honestly I'd reach out to devs and see what they think.also I'm sure there's walking sprites for the gen 1 leaders floating around somewhere, I know there are some in the pokeemerald asset repo designed for gba. I don't know if those are compatible with essentials or not but it's a starting point maybe.
does anyone know where the machine assets are from in this image?
>>58250642Yeah, I think my goal is to now finish Build 3 and then start making a clean/downgraded version that I can post publicly. Since I'm willing to mix FRLG and RSE, I can still meet the minimum 8 trainer requirement for a PWT with: all 4 protagonists, Blue, Lorelei, Giovanni, Steven, Maxie, Archie, both professors, Wally, Shelly(?) and Steven. I think those are all the named NPCs with walking animations (except for Scott, but he doesn't have a battle sprite), so that is enough. It's not themed, but it's enough. As for asking people for their fakemon/assets, I'll have to be careful about that. I don't want to become "that guy" and have everyone avoid me because I spam every thread. The smart thing to do is hunt around for fakemon that people say are free to use and hope that my project starts to get the kind of attention that might draw people in.
>>58250733can you import sprites? these ate designed to work with gba but could probably work with some tweaking https://github.com/Pawkkie/Team-Aquas-Asset-Repo/tree/main/Overworld%20Trainer%20Sprites/Horand yeah fair enough about asking people, hopefully you get some traction, it's shaping up to be a solid game
>>58234212Hey, is this the right place to ask for rom hacks? I have the urge to play Emerald but wanted some of the following features;Necessary:>All Gen 3 National dex pokemon are available to find somewhere in the game.>Changes to evolution mechanics to remove trade evos>Physical/Special move splitNot necessary, but would be nice:>Following pokemon>Gen 4 evolutions for 1,2, and 3 pokemon included.Anyone know of anything like that?
>>58251467this is 90% of all hacks produced in the last year
>>58251467If you're trying to obtain the entire dex try something like emerald 386
>>58251467https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-modern-emerald-complete-3-1-released-following-pok%C3%A9mon-modern-battle-frontier-and-more.494005/
>>58250802>can you import sprites?No, but I can throw them into MS paint and make them Essentials compatible, so good enough. This has some stuff I didn't already have, and it's free to use. Thanks.
