>>58428860We still keeping up with Odyssey II?
>>58428899>Chimera Luxray instead of Great Lynx when he was busy shilling EO3 in the first game
>>58429775That's a manticore. Chimeras have multiple heads of different animals and no scorpion tail.>>58428860Looks interesting
>>58428899Said in the last thread but I feel like the Fools Gold style hacks that remix existing mons with some new concept usually look really cool but stop being interesting to me halfway through.With those hacks I feel like I just make my team, catch a box or two of mons to feel like im experiencing the new designs, and by the league I'm thoroughly ready to get off the ride.Haven't played Odyssey so idk if thats what it is, but given that I'm constantly seeing new lines teased I'm guessing it is.
Finally beat the Johto league in Resolute. Actually felt earned since I had to beat 4 champions, 24 pokemon (Lance, Ethan, Blue, Red) back to back without a breather in-between
>>58429991Oops, forgot my hof
bump, we survived the leaks let's not fall off now
>>58431578>Pokemon Z GBA>A remake of the scrapped "Pokemon Z" using Freakleak materials. Includes Southern KalosMy dream.
>>58431589wonder what will be the first hack to implement the new megas. can't be long now before somebody puts them in
>>58431646Only as soon as they figure out the Mega's abilities will they be properly implemented in expansions and essentials.
>>58431665yeah fair, but we have stats and could just take a stab at abilities for now. I guess it's better to wait though.
>>58430001The clash in sprite artstyles is jarring. Good shit anon.
How feasible would it be to add the ZA Megas to Rad Red or Emerald Imperium
>>58432433i don't see why it wouldn't come to rad red, don't they always add the new mons?
>>58431589is there even a hack that properly ports Sinnoh or Unova to gen 3?
>>58431589Question is, which ROM will be best?Emerald or FireRed?
>>58432433>>58432519100%, those are meant to be up to date with all of Mainline entires.
>>58431589/vp/, you should make it! You're able to pull off Clover, you should be able to make Pokémon Z GBA good!
clover is transphobic
>>58432519Did they add Mega Dragonite already?>>58432534Emerald clearly, it has the best decomp
>>58432433I guess the only hard part is if they have new abilities that would be hard to code in.
>>58433060Yeah, we know. Honestly, I'd argue that the racism is the bigger issue.
>>58432546I haven't seen or heard any updates or plans for updates
>>58433318It hasn't even been a fucking week. No shit.
>>58431646Lazarus is going to have them apparently.
Soulja boy tell'em!
>>58433650You're missing the pointPeople are confident that it's inevitable, but I hadn't heard anything hinting at any plans for updates
>>58433060>>58433074I'm already playing Clover, man. You don't need to sell me on it even more.
>>58435104Yet again, it's been a week, you'd have to be a dumbass to expect to hear something by now.
>>58434485One of the most kino characters in rom hacks
>>58435706Nigger, he said he never seen any plans for these games to keep up with the latest Pokémon title in terms of Monster content. He's calling bullshit to >>58432546.
>>58435104Lmao.It's been almost 19 months (zamn) since v4.1 dropped, and almost 9 months since they mentioned development on v4.2. Maybe they're biding their time for new sprites and stuff to he made, I've noticed Soupercell re-tweet some sprites of the XY starter megas recently.
How the hell has no one made a 21.1 port for Modular Title Screen?!Fuck, I REALLY wanted that parallax on the title screen. I could have done so much with it.
>>58428899Issue is that while dev claims to be inspired by EO... the only thing that his stuff share with that series are surface-level cosmetics. The gameplay and actual feel of Pokemon Odyssey is just another oh-look-at-me-i'm-so-profound-fanfic-writter faggotry.It's just disappointing slop.
>>58431589I think it would be much cooler as a X/Y hack but that's even less likely to ever happen.
>>58432433I think it's safe to say that is is impossible to include ZA megas faithfully. Any attempt would just be fan fiction because there are no abilities. Any ZA mega is a game is just a reskinned fakemon.
>>58436595You can reasonably assume that Starmie got Huge Power based on patterns.
>>58435823He seems to have a reputation in Vega, if he's in the prequel too I'm sure he's quite the character. Already mogs Scottward.
>>58432433It's very doable for the devs but it would be very difficult for anyone else to add them since the source code for those hacks is not available.
>>58431589Anon, just get more balls and just edit BW2 and and XY.
>>58436611inb4 its ability is a huge power clone called star power
>>58432433>Emerald ImperiumIs this the Hoenn equivalent of Radical Red?
This is still hilarious.
>>58432433Depends if they'll appear in Champions and Gaia
>>58436760Dragonite has already been shown for Champions.
My hack will not be finished this year.I had originally predicted a christmas beta release, that is being postponed.It would be possible for me to release an unfinished beta (roughly half the story is "complete" at this point) but the fact that's what everyone else does means I absolutely refuse to do so.I am optimistic about a Christmas 2026 release with a possible beta release sometime during Q2 or Q3 of next year.I apologize for the long wait but I don't feel comfortable cutting corners in development or releasing an unfinished product.Thank you all for understanding and I hope you will all enjoy your time playing My As Of Yet Unnamed Romhack next year
>>58436611Fuck you, it's clearly speed boost.
>>58436750The fuck is that shit?
>>58435873THANK you. I'm not expecting anything so soon, but I would have thought some dev of modder (for lack of a better term) would express some interest in adapting some of the new designs when they were announced months ago>>58436117Fuck
>>58435689donate to patreon to get pokemon clover's 2.0 version.
>>58436735Basically. The only thing that sucks is doubles in the frontier freezes the game for some reasonAlso, some of the learnsets are off. Semi-pic related, I tried training a bulk up primape, but it apparently can't learn Drain punch
>>58436968see >>58436595This is a huge disincentive to use them. There won't be any uniform design on how they work in game, Radical Red is the only one that has a real chance at it because they just don't give a fuck about accuracy.
>>58436841You can trade for a palword mon in radical red.
>>58436595Hasn't stopped em before
>>58437108fakemon/fakeform drinking game:take a sip for every quad weakness turned into an immunity/absorption in a given hack/fangame
>>58436117If he's smart, he'll probably just wait for Gen 10 and maybe even Gen 10's DLC so he can make the update a big one.The temptation to cram an illegal Mega Zygarde who's initially sent out as Complete so it can Mega Evolve ASAP into Hardcore Champion Blue's team is strong, I'm sure, but there's bound to be more powercreep bastards for considerations from every subsequent release after LZA itself.
>>58437108Well, yeah, that's a fakemon game. Games that try to be accurate won't use them because they can't be.
>>58437108>Ice EaterReminds me of taking a surprise ice fang head on in platinum from Floatzel. Tanked it like a champ.
>>58436595I imagine they're gonna be in Elite Redux sooner or later. That game doesn't have an issue with making up abilities wholesale anyway.
>>58428860Does anyone have any pet peeves when playing hacks, shit that irks you but sounds too retarded to talk about?My biggest one is sprite inconsistency, I can't stand when hacks have some Gen 3 sprites and some Gen 4 sprites and some weird ones that look like if you just drew a sprite over a screenshot of a 3d model.If its a Gen 3 hack, it should look like a Gen 3 sprite!!
>>58436615yes he's in both, he was a fairly important character in Sirius/Altair.He graffitis the signs in those games and then when you boot up Vega if you check the game console in your room you'll see he graffiti'd it as well, it made for a kino moment playing them back to back
>>58439022>IVs being important enough to be visible, but the game offers no way to change them>Long cutscenes before hard battles so if you lose you have to sit through them again, especially if speedup/text skipping is unavailable>Mixels (spriting errors where some pixels are different sizes) in essentials games, most commonly seen when someone doesn't downscale sprites to half size before editing them>Scuffed mon availability where encounter tables are absurdly diluted so anything you'd want is a 5% encounter rate at most, and also when mons are only obtainable well after whatever they'd be good for>Softlocks in general, especially the kind where you won't know you've softlocked until after a significant amount of time after you trigger the softlock>Fucking with existing types for the sake of doing so>Changing vanilla mon types without at least redesigning the new typings as regional forms (adding secondary typings to monotyped mons is fine within reason; electric/dark luxray is a dead meme and just makes it worse)
>>58439095>>Scuffed mon availability where encounter tables are absurdly dilutedcan't stand this shit either, some people genuinely can't wrap their head around the idea that I don't actually need every Pokemon in the series available.Dripfeeding me new lines throughout the story and ending with a roster of 200-300 works so much better than cramming your game with 1000 mons and forcing every route to have 8 pokemon to catch
>want to try out a gen 5/6 mon in a romhack>their late evo levels are even more annoying to deal with than vanilla because pokemon trainers are actually competent in hacks
>>58439181do you think it's okay for hacks to lower evolution levels for Pokemon like that?
>>58439181>romhack makes Dreepy available early>does literally nothing to make it usable so there's functionally no difference between it being present in the earlygame and it being present when the levels start approaching the 50-60 mark
>>58439235Dreepy -lv20-> Drakloak -lv45-> Dragapult
>>5843922690% of Gen V's dex evolved late so it was a minor annoyance at best when Rufflet jobbed for Gym 8/Victory Road before evolving.It sucks in a romhack, especially one with level caps when you get the thing at Level 8 and it cant do shit because all of the old/new gen mons are at full power long before it dreams to do anything of note.tldr they absolutely should change evo levels if they're going to be around earlier so they can scale on par with similar mons.
>>58439321could be interesting to see them put mons that evolve later into a postgame area though, not really a solution but would probably work better
>Playing ChaosPurple to experience RBY in Gen 4>Playing RoseGold right after as a sequel to Red & Bluethe future is gonna be so good bros, just gotta wait a little longer
>>58439437what the fuck, people actually make DS hacks now?
>>58439570https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-heartgold-generations-v2-0.537551/there is already a heartgold hack with up to 950 pokemons
>>58439437For me it’s Legacy and Legends Arise, almost makes me want to start ds hacking
>>58439226I think anything above 1/10th the mon's base stat total is too high of an evolution level>>58439235Wack at least gives it an actual moveset (level up + a lot of TMs) so it's at least usable for a bit, but it still suffers from having to wait ~48 levels from when you can first get it (it's a 1% encounter in the galar cave room in that cave on route 1) to really start pulling its own weight via evolution, assuming you don't manually EV train it because for some reason the power items in that game are fucked and give +8 EVs to every stat and not their specific statpicrel's the moves it gets, though its stats and evolution level are still the samethough once it evolves into dragapult, give it a choice band (especially if it's adamant) and enjoy the fireworks>>58439255personally i had the idea of making dreepy > drakloak a friendship evolution and just nudging dragapult's evolution level down to 55 but either way actually getting to use dragapult while there's still main story stuff left to use it for is a worthy power fantasy on its own
>>58439437>ChaosPurpleoh that one is pretty far along
hey is there anyway to get the Gen 2 assets from crystal? Looking to update gen 2 with early ways to get the kanto only johto mons and also going to make aquapolis a playable region.
>>58439721>Legends Arisethat one looks amazing and will probably end up being the best of the 3 but who knows when it'll drop.Any other legit ds rom hacks to keep an eye out for?
>>58423945 >That probably should be the next thing I do.Well, that was a disaster. Nope. The title screen is going to be a pain in the ass. I'll just put it off till I'm closer to version 4. Maybe I'll get lucky and some resources to help make one that's comparable with 21.1 will be out by time that happens. For now, My focus will be on the PWT again. I've already added about 10 more trainers. Instead of adding them based on generations, the focus is adding them based on types. I need a minimum of 8 trainers to make a tournament (even if only 7 will be used), so duel type trainers are the most valuable. However, I am tracking the trainer's generations as they are added, and if one of them just so happens to hit 8 while I'm doing this, I might as well make a tournament. Gen 5 is only one trainer away, and let me tell you, those are not the 8 trainers you'd expect to see.
>>58439255Every pseudo after like Garchomp has at least one stage that evolves way too late relative to its power tier.
>>58441440i think its less to do with their general strength and more just them being "the pseudo" so they need to be hard to obtain
Is there a hack of firered which offers me the new evolutions, possibly mega-evos, with the usual qols/updates, but without forcing in kanto pokemon which don't belong there?I just want to play FRLG while being able to evolve magmar into magmortar, I don't want immigrant pokemon which destroy my immersion
>>58440548All the assets can be found in https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal
>>58436595>there are no abilities.But each species has an ability set in their base stats anyway.It's their base form's.Sure, they're more than likely going to be updated once they're included in a proper mainline game, but the Z-A data that comes from Game Freak directly is there to use as a form of validation anyway.>inb4 "eww! adding the new megas with temporary abilities is so lame!"Game Freak themselves changed species abilities starting with XY or ORAS iirc.Zapdos lost Lightning Rod in favor of Static, Gengar's Levitate was replaced with Cursed Body and so on.
whatever happened to dimbus maximusdude deleted all of his shit and all of it is now lost to time
>>58432526There's a Platinum and HGSS GBA port romhack in the works rn, surprisngly accurate
>>58443559I assume the HGSS is Heart&Soul? But for the Platinum one gimme a name or a link, would be super interested
>>58441567>more just them being "the pseudo" so they need to be hard to obtainI notice that pokemon tends to base evolution levels based on the average level that the first stage shows up in the wild, which is why Ponyta for example waits all the way til 40 to become Rapidash.If Dreepy and the others were available relatively early via game corner or were late game low level encounters, you'd see them repeating what the first four pseudos did.
I paid a lot for these a couple years ago and never did anything with it.
>>58444085
>>58444085They're pretty cool anon, steel/grass starter sounds fun
>>58444085Wait, you didn't even get back sprites?
>>58436789okay, what is your hack about
>>58444358I did.
>>58444089i hope the plot is about retaking Constantinople
>>58444085>>58444373Do you still have plans for them? If not, I'm always looking for more to add to Project Postgame (the exotic hall is kinda empty now that I've removed the Snakewood contnet). Just give me the back sprites and any information about them you want me to include.
>>58444369You're just a small town boy (gen 3)Born and raised by your grandmotherYou take the wrong turn in the storm and wind up anywhereGrandma dies, and Mew shows up (featuring probably around 500pokemon I don't like a lot of the new mons and probably will also remove some of the older ones I don't like either)You travel far across the lands (completely original region)To rescue her from the wicked bandOf mad scientistsWho took overthe governmentand want to rule the world!You can't stopbelievingthat one day you will rescue herWhat happens next, you can only discover if you play the gameSo it's basically just my attempt to re-tell the movie plot but through my own interpretation which is pretty different. I started the hack just because I was pissed off about none of the games being exactly what I wanted to play. I don't even know why I ended up making my own region and story when any of the existing one's would have been fine if I had just changed the pokemon encounters and battles and stuff like that but here we are.it's not the same formula, there won't be gyms or HMs instead more like a traditional RPG where you just progress thru the story and fight progressively more difficult enemies and find items which help you unlock new areas to explore.
>>58444539>I don't even know why I ended up making my own region and storybecause it's kino
>>58444499fix your hackrom first, it looks like quick slop
Tourmaline is kinda peak, just wish there were Shiny and Wild Modifier codes available for it, the great freedoms granted by Decomp feel like a double-edged blade in that sense.>>58436789>>58444539Take as much time as you need anon, you can't rush a passion project.
>>58445623Has the zoomer brainrot taken hold of you? I honestly can't understand what you are trying to say. I've read it 3 times and I think I need a translator.
>>58446030He's saying your rom looks half-hassedly put together and you should worry about that first and foremost
>>58446070Well, it's an essentials game, so there is that. As for the other point, the room is designed for function over style since the player would go in, pick up the pokemon they want, and rarely if ever come back. The stalls are empty because I don't have vendors yet, but I'll need more fakemon to make more vendors. .
>>58444085Who did the sprites for the regional forms of your starters?
>>58446100>Well, it's an essentials game, so there is that.play retired champion, it is similar to yours but more "polished", but it has forced MC shit, dunno how to change it
>>58446550Interesting. IT seems to have some of the same ideas, but taken in a different direction. I'll have to play this later to compare and see if I can find anything I should also implement. Also, I should see if I can make use of whatever that Battle Royal script is. Yes, I could do a lot with that. Thanks. This is useful information.
>>58444089this looks like some schizo conspiracy connections chart
>>58446788Damn my ADHD, now I'm plying around with alternative battle sprites and seeing what I can find that's free to use.

>>58450116honestly I was just giving a bump cause we were on page 10 but didnt have anything substantial to post I just grabbed something from my reaction folder
https://eightyc.substack.com/p/the-best-gbc-pokemon-hacks-of-allYour response?
I've been out of the romhacking loop for a bit, I saw a Rom called Pokemon Pisces is it any good?And any other recomendations.I played some of the Recharged roms and they were pretty fun, I like that pokemon got slight pallet alterations like Stadium, I kinda hope more roms can impliment that now.
uppies
>>58450263>I've been out of the romhacking loop for a bit, I saw a Rom called Pokemon Pisces is it any good?I played it when it came out and it felt unfinished. None of the mons were all that inspired, the story was typical romhackery stuff (incl. character from the original game who turns Evil) and there's towns without any townspeople. The last third of the game just felt like a rush job and a slog at the same time. I did hear that that got fixed afterwards, though, so maybe it's improved.
>>58439094Mos is Mos
>>58450263I think its better than Odyssey and Tourmaline but the mainstream romhacking communities hate it because they didnt release the documentation.
>>58451738The shopkeeper girl is hot so I’ll forgive them
>>58446788you know how to edit the locked player name in essentials? or it is encrypted (for retired champion)
>>58450192It's so over for rebalancefags
Decided to do the Weird Type Fun postgame + go for all the fakemon.It has some weird "fakemon" that are kind of like paradox pokemon but if the theming was zombies rather than past/future, would you count these?Anyways, it's kind of funny how much the game doesn't focus on it's small number of Fakemon considering that they're pretty well done.
>>58452279I don't know how RC does it, but typically most games would start in an empty black room that instantly starts running scripts. One of them would be the professor talk, and then the gender select, and name input. It's possible that in RC instead of running the command to set the player name instead of letting you input it. The only way to unlock the name would be to have the project file and edit the event in RPG maker. That being said, I should add an event that would let the player change their name after the start of the game. I already found an issue with consumable items. Will someone ever use up all 999 Eject Buttons battling the NPCs? Probably not, but I should still have a fail safe.
>>58452347>>58450192Googled some of these and I got nothing +I doubt one fangame reviewer knows German, Korean, Spanish and Italian. My money is 99% this was written by ChatGPT, I can even generate list like this myself.>>58444085Great stuff! I remember you from older threads. What's your fangame's name?
>>58452702Anon which made*
>>58452702>anon who those original posts... I literally asked the dev what Slaking's ability is.>You're either his follower or you've disingenous. Or just retarded.I'll never claim not to be retarded, but I'm not a liar, idk why you're lying about this either.>constant softlocks and crashing getting to you,There's been another patch drop recently, and Tdilos is still working on isolating the boss battle freezes cancer, they said it might be an AI issue. Unfortunately this is the kinda thing that happens when we're among the first to play a fresh hack, same reason I've avoided playing Pisces and ROWE for so long.>Food for ThohtIt's funny, but probably just character limit shenanigans. The Paradox mons in RR have jumbled up names too.
>you have fo fight against this cuntAHHHHHH STOP MAKING ME SLEEP
>I'll have some beta Pokemon
Still upset that auto battler never went anywhere.
>>58451497interesting, feels like a lot of poeple here have hyped Pisces up
>>58452448What a massive fucking pain in the ass that was.I rematched those 6 biker dudes on cycling road for FOREVER with a soothe bell and it still must have taken me an hour with speed up on to get this thing enough happiness to evolve.
