trying to understand the touhoumon series of works is causing me a headache
what's the romhacker equivalents of this
Sorry for asking a dumb question. But is there a way to carry over save files for hacks when they update? I wanna go from heart and soul 1.1.5 to 1.1.6 and wanna carry over my progress. I tried export/import it but it didn't work. I'm using PizzaBoy on Android if that is relevant
>>58559700The github says it's possiblehttps://github.com/PokemonHnS-Development/pokemonHnS/releases
>>58559700Just rename rom as your save and that's it is not rocket science.We are reaching retardation levels that shouldn't be possible.
Why do people even still make romhacks at this point instead of fangames?Can romhacks do something that fangames can't do better with less limitations and probably easier code?
>>58559796Well, he IS playing on a phone.
>>58559441What is this? Is it complete?
>>58559802Yes, it can be a few megabytes in size and play on a Game Boy.
>>58559802Fangames suck because they aren't compatible with cheats and lack general emulator options
>>58559815There's a Demo up to the 3rd gym iirchttps://teamaquashideout.github.io/tah-patchsite/hacks/hearth/
>>58559802>can easily play your game on actual hardware>if you're not a shitter, working with hardware limitations can be a fun challenge and a learning experience>like the aesthetics of the game you're hacking and don't want/need to branch far from it>less jank overall as alternatives like Essentials come with a ton of their own baggage
>>58559796Sorry I only started yesterday so it's all a little bit new for me
Are there any rom hacks or fan games that make the gameplay a little challenging, but not extremely difficult?
>>58559810Well that checks out, then.I’ll never understand people who play emulators on their phone
Are there any hacks that have implemented alpha pokemon? Kinda curious to see what the general inplementation of them is, they were fun in PokeMMO until they became the meta for moneymaking
Is Brown the longest gen 1 hack to play? No speedup or grinding took me 41 hours to beat the final postgame stuff.
>>58559848Looks cool, I'm playing it. >>58557188And what is this? Is it just normal Emerald but with a different type chart?
>>58558649No, Pokemon Pink used a phone to call the Trainers so the developer wouldn't have to import a sprite for every NPC trainer ever.
>>58559899>>58559810>Not playing on your phone while chilling in bed or on your couchYou autists are a bunch of faggots
>>58560002>gen 1 with no speedup
>>58560135>touchscreen buttonsNah.
>>58559441>boy or girl>both look girlyno thanks
>>58560197bet you only catch male pokemon faggot
>>58560223yes
why do romhackers love these stupid ass islands so much
>>58560384They're pure soul, nigga
>>58560384good question, the seviis are terrible, they bring me no joy to explore, the lack of any proper town hurts them
>>58555853Did you already try running "make clean" after editing those files?
What are the best GB/GBC (so Gen1/Gen2) hacks? Got an Old GBC and a Flashcard so that's pure comfy
that jungle in Reborn was some shit
>>58560781Polished Crystal is godly
>>58560805The one with the Pulse Tangrowth? Yeah it's kind of a labyrinth desu
>>58560781Brown good Prism cringe
>>58560831Seems pretty good, perhaps a bit too vanilla even with the extra evos but it certainly has a ton of effort behind it.I'll check it out, thanks Anon
>>58560781Fool's Gold is great up until the postgame level curve.
>>58560475Fucking forgot about make clean, that's what I was missing. Thanks man
>>58561634What features would you want for it to be less vanilla?
Are there good edgy/sexy hacks? I played Clover and kind of want those boundaries pushed again that couldn't possibly be in a retail game.
>>58559441Pokemon Hearth is based for adding speedup features. Wish more romhacks played as fast as emerald rogue.
>>58561952You mean, like rape?
>>58562124That's a bit more extreme than I was thinking. I just meant fanservice-y or inappropriate by corporate standards. Are you saying that even exists?
>>58561977I'm happy that more romhacks are adding this feature.
>>58562173Yes.
>>58562229You're shitting me.
>>58562173Wack.
>>58561977why does this need to be a feature when its built into emulators inherently
>>58560384because they're really weird and feel "off" and gamefreak never mentions them ever
>>58562229I'll bite. What is it?
>>58559441>try Hearth>mandatory battles before getting pokeballs leave my start at level 9>finally get access to pokeballs, want to add a new member to my team>wild accessible pokemon are all level 2-3Why, why are devs so bad at balancing new team members? So many hacks I play are ruined by making adding new pokemon such a chore.
>>58562628But anon, if you add free rare candies and level caps it'll make some anons here mad, so sadly you're gonna have to grind like the rest of us wagie.
>>58562628I didn't find the grind that bad... until the final city in the demo, holy shit I had to spend like half an hour to get the third badge
>>58561977>>585623091. some play on phones where the feature isn't as good2. hold both speed up buttons and it speeds up even more>>58559441I modified Pokemon Emerald to remove Levels, EVs, IVs, and Natures from my game. And the resulting game is fucking unfun.I went into May's fight with 6 Pokemon at or around her level. Lost 4 of them to one fucking Torchic.What the fuck? Is Pokemon just bad when you don't have a stat advantage over your foe?
>>58562692Removing levels is too muchI usually play Polished Crystal with no natures, EVs, or IVs and it's fine
>>58562708>I usually play Polished Crystal with no natures, EVs, or IVs and it's fineSame, was surprised when I learned this is seemingly uncommon. I guess most people just prefer the game to feel as modern as possible and play with them.
>>58560384They're a fun novelty, but feel unfulfilled, like wasted potential.>>58560781Prism, Peridot, and BW3 Genesis would be a good start.>>58562708Radical Red, Altered Platinum, and Emerald Kaizo are 3 games I've played several times with EV's turned off, it's a fibe way to play.>>58562692TorGOD. How does move move progression work without levels? New tutors? Elite Redux instant TM/Tutor move access? Does svery mon become a stone evo?
>>58561913Not necessarily features but either a new region or new mons (which it kinda does) still what's in there is pretty impressive
>>58562628>mandatory battles before getting pokeballs leave my start at level 9Da fuk? You get balls as soon as you get your starter dude, to be fair yeah adding new team members can be a chore
>>58562759Oh fuck I forgot about Peridot, now's the time to play it, thanks
>>58562309Music most likely
What if you were to make two versions of a romhack (like Altair/Sirius), but one takes place in the summer while the other takes place in the winter? What would your thoughts be?
>>58564329What would the differences be? Replacing bugs in encounter tables with ice-types?It would be a cooler idea as a postgame or new game+.
>>58564329Yeah I agree with >>58564368, think SMW once you complete everything
>>58564368Encounter tables (not only version differences, but also allow you to encounter Ice-type earlier)
>>58562692Pokemon has a lot problems at its core but>remove the RPG elements from an RPG>wonder why the gameplay is thrown out of whackYou may genuinely be retarded and should probably quit ROM hacking.
>>58564432NTA but imo EVs, IVs and Natures add a lot of nuance to fights, and if managed properly (a thing that almost never happens) can give memorable battles without stupid shit like Legendary/Uber mons spam or level caps
>>58564481EVs can if the enemy makes use of them, otherwise they just make the player way stronger than everything else. Are there any hacks that give NPCs some EVs without going full 252/252/4 with their spreads?
>>58564512I personally doubt it, most hack devs just go full Smogontard and start copying full teams with 252/252/4 90% of the time
>>58564481IVs can go fuck themselves and should be forced max (or 0, whatever) for every mon foreverEVs and Natures are good for competitive pvp, for casual playthroughs they boil down to either>enemies don't have EVs -> player is overpowered or>enemies have EVs -> player is forced to EV train whenever they want to add a mon to their team or get fucked The concept of EV training is repulsive to me, I will never ever do it. I suppose the best way is>enemies have EVs, player is allowed to adjust theirs at will and the second best >EVs don't exist
>>58564588>enemies have EVs, player is allowed to adjust theirs at willMost likely this, surprised there isn't a sort of globally stored EVs system (you kill a random mon, get +1 EV, then you can choose to distribute it to any team member, coul stack with Exp Share) or just reduce evs from 255 to 64 effective stat points at all times rather than divide EVs/4 = Actual stat gain
>>58564623Closest thing is Pisces but not entirely.Still I feel hack/fangame devs stick too much to the core systems even if they could be greatly improved (breeding, EVs, Berry gathering and stuff like that)
>>58564588>The concept of EV training is repulsive to me, I will never ever do itI did it once and immediately thought how annoying it was, especially in the base game where you cannot see how close you are to the cap for a specific stat without knowing arbitrary numbers on a wiki. Romhacks just giving a raw EV/IV editor also bothers me. Why can't it just be like in other RPGs that give stat allocation points, and a pokemon just gains a certain amount per level? Have the EVs max out at Level 50, and have a EV redistributor be at a pokemon Daycare or something. The Daycare is already used to generate pokemon with better IVs, so you can just have an NPC there who will retrain your pokemon's EVs for a price. It's the most obvious, intuitive, and sensible game design out there, but instead everyone just reverts to using effectively a cheat menu.
what's the hack with the best girls?I'm horni
You ever think about how pokemon romhacks have been a thing for 20 years? I do and the nicest thing i can say is that for every 10 horrid "add every pokemon with publically available tools with smogon teams" hacks there's 1 Unbound, Heart and Soul, Odyssey, Glazed etc that makes the whole thing worth it
Sixt- SIXTY EIGHT OF THESE????
>>58564432Growth is not the only RPG element that matters you underaged rodent!!!Move choice, resource use, targeting, these things matter even if you take away hunger and distance and everything else Pokemon loses compared to TTRPGs.>>58562759Pokemon still have levels so they can learn moves and level up, all stat and move damage calculation just treats Pokemon as if they're always level 50.>>58564329That would be a colossal waste of resources for players and the developer, I'd rather experience summer and winter in the same game.>>58564588>>58564623>>58564665>>58564689EVs and IVs are never interesting.Except when you make a physical attacker an inferior special attacker unexpectedly (nobody does this)or fuck with Rotom's Download (nobody does this)or use Trick Room (nobody does this)or need specific IVs to make Hidden Power a coverage move (this is bullshit and not worth the hassle).EV and IV adjusting items, stats, NPCs? You're all putting band-aids over the gaping hole.Levels sell the progression fantasy.EVs are there so even retarded little timmy the child can beat the game with his favourite team of retards. Start demanding perfect stat distribution and the game becomes a slog. 99.9% of the time "boost speed and my attacking stat" is the right call.IVs are shit design, irredeemable dogshit.
I just wanna shunt dude
>>58564896Rom hack waifu tournament when?
>>58564997>99.9% of the time "boost speed and my attacking stat" is the right call.This is only true because of Pokemon's insistence on 1v1 battles. Give yourself a trasitional party of 3, and suddenly stat allocation gives you a lot more room for build variety. You're right though, IVs are retarded and just add an unnecessary luck factor to how good your pokemon is on top of Natures. What's that? Your pokemon with a very high natural speed stat has a speed lowering nature AND 0 IVs in said speed stat? Lol. Lmao. Get fucked.
Does anyone know where to find Gen 4 style overworld sprites of the Gen 6 characters?I've found gen 3 sets by Zaffre, and Gen 5 sets by DiegoWT, but Gen 6, I can't seem to find.Gen 7-9 chars would be nice too.
>>58564997>EVs and IVs are never interestingDebatable, sure as it stands right now it's more problematic than beneficial. Still EVs/IVs can be used to fine tune certain battles (throwing pseudo legendaries a bit earlier but whith lower stats or giving a bit more stats to weaker mons)>EVs are there so even retarded little timmy the child can beat the game with his favourite team of retardsI don't see how this is a bad thing, Pokémon is about catching and training what you like, ofc there are stronger mons than Route 1 shitmons but if the game does this>Start demanding perfect stat distribution and the game becomes a slog.Then that's a game design flaw not because EVs/IVs are flawed but because whoever decided to do that is retarded
>>58565167Mind you that my view on IVs/EVs applies mostly against NPCs to try to make the difficulty curve a bit smootherWhen applied to the player mons they are RNG fuckery that adds nothing to the experience (and mind you I like grinding in general but getting a decently good wild mon is pretty much impossible)
>>58562309Because I play on real hardware most of the time. And on emulators, when you use speedup, it also speeds the music or unique attack animations up which is a shame when certain romhacks go out of their way to create new tracks or attacks. Giving the player customizable battle animation speedup options like in emerald rogue or other decomp hacks is probably the best thing that has happened to the scene in recent years, unironically. The game plays as fast as this sped up webm of clover, on real hardware. And you don't miss the music or battle animations. I just wish other games also focused on making overworld interactions, animations, dialogue and picking up items also as fast as in emerald rogue. Even wild pokemon encounters are not slow, you get the relevant information almost immediately at the highest speed setting. My favorite is how you can actually choose to have important trainer or shiny wild pokemon battles introductions play out as normal if you enjoy the buildup. That feature and the freedom it offers to the player alone makes it infinitely more replayable than any pokemon game in existence to me, mainline or romhack included. "Grinding" for overworld resources and exploring (the little you do in your first runs, anyway) never felt redundant or boring.
Reborn is kicking my assat least the ice gym was easy after golem exploded the field
>>58565943post team/box>ice gymyeah that one falls apart really quickly if you have something to break the fieldcan't really say the same about its spiritual successor's ice gym
>>58564997>EVs and IVs are never interesting.And yet, 100% of games that remove them are total dog shit.
>>58565993I'm not losing to anything specific (right now), just saying it's been rough since gym 4>post team/boxsure
>>58566008Tectonic is amazing thougheverbeit
>>58566008You never play gen 1/2 hacks?
>>58564933>for every 10 horrid "add every pokemon with publically available tools with smogon teams" hacks there's 1 Unbound, Heart and Soul, Odyssey, Glazed etc that makes the whole thing worth itHave you played Unbound on a difficulty higher than "Difficult", by any chance?
>>58566203Gens 1 and 2 had EVs and IVs.
>>58566154You seem to be better off than expected but for specific recommendations I suggest grabbing that are available right now:>Gastrodon (evolve your shellos)>Arcanine (you should have gotten a growlithe from the police sidequest, hopefully with close combat)>Krookodile (tanzan mountain)>Talonflame (beryl ward)>Nidoking (game corner)>Dragalge (underroot, if you have the silver ring from Corey's house)>IIRC Hippowdon should be obtainable shortly>Camerupt (peridot ward sidequest)>Really I might as well list every good fire and ground type since favoritism aside those tend to do pretty good in RebornI'm pretty sure the main source of your problems might be IVs/EVsfor IVs just enable the fullIVs password so you don't have to worry about them - the online play disabling is irrelevant because the last time there was any real activity there was when /vp/ brought the 2009 dell laptop the servers were hosted on to its knees a few years agoand for EV training, power items and EV reducing berries have their effects amplified for less grindingthough you can always use debug mode to manually set EVs, IVs, and abilities if you find that more convenient
Why do people jerk off Heart and Soul? Seems like an overall inferior experience compared to just playing HGSS, am I missing something?
>>58566282It's the "potential" it has rather than the hack itself necessarily, one of the goals of H&S is that it can be another ROMbase in case someone wants to make enhancement slop that takes place in Johto instead of Kanto or Hoenn.
>>58566297Hmmm, could definitely use some Deluxe Hard-core 1028 Resneeded Heart and/or Soul to mix up the monotony of Radical Red and Elite Redux runs.
>>58561977>>58562215>>58564164>>58565427you have ADHD. anti speedup is actually based
>>58566426Actually this reminds me, seeing Heart and Soul makes me once again long for someone to demake gen 4 and 5 with the Emerald Decomp, that shit would be awesome with how much more freedoms it has. Gen 6-7+9 demade would be awesome too, but much more ambitious. >So make it then.picrel.>>58566454>You have ADHD. Yes.>anti speedup is actually basedMaybe on planet dumbass (gottem)
>>58566476>Gen 6-7+9 demade would be awesome too, but much more ambitious.Wasn't someone demaking SM on gba? Was honestly excited for that one, SM without the handholding and cutscene bloat would be great.
Strip him naked!
>>58566269Thanks. I started the game with goodtaste password so I'm good on IVs, but EVs are a pain (Blaziken maxed out on random shit, rest of team starving). Also I'm playing on set mode but I get the feeling AI is reading my switches so maybe I shouldn't be?I spent hours lost in that jungle and didn't find all the cops
>>58566476By the other way around (Golem)
>>58566595>I get the feeling AI is reading my switchespretty sure the AI is coded to expect switches if it thinks it'd be likely for you to do soswitch mode is for pussies anyways> but EVs are a pain (Blaziken maxed out on random shit, rest of team starving)use the powerpack password to get EV items earlyand buy friendship berries from the department store to reset EVs you don't want (which means HP, defense, special attack, and special defense for Blaziken which in general will want as much attack and speed as possible)
>>58566476>Gen 6-7+9 demade would be awesome too, but much more ambitious.Gen 6 had one but who knows what happened with that, SM is getting one. Gen 9 sucks balls. I'd like to see a Gen 5 demake aside from BW3
>>58566476>sassy nigger gif
>>58566544fuck off David.
when's pokemon sage coming out?
>>58566454>you have ADHD. anti speedup is actually basedLmao, Rolf even
>>58562247>>58562351All 4 Girls Hunter games. While you can catch pokemon, after beating female trainers, you can capture them in human balls. All humans have 3 battle sprites being clothed, bondaged, and naked. Very very shit writing, but it's an alright experience.
>>58564997What if upon progressing to a certain amount in the story, you're able to modify how many evs you can use? I can't recal which ones, but several hacks grant you ev "vouchers" (might not be the term) after defeating a wild pokemon which you can then use in the status screen to exchange them for certain stats. Lets say that after the first gym, you're given 36 evs to use. That amounts to 3 points in 3 stats or 2 points in 1. Lets say that after beating a rival fight, a gym leader, or against a notable evil team encounter, more evs become available with 510 being obtained after the 4th Elite 4 member. Every significant trainer can have the same amount at their disposal as you currently do, or even every trainer if you want a hard mode. Basically level up stats that you can customize. No more beating up whismur over and over again.I 100% agree about IVs.
>>58566544This isn’t the drawthread retard.
Dumb question but is there an way to get essentials games running on Linux? I got an Anbernic and was wondering if I could play reborn on it.
>>58566957when HL3 comes out
>>58559441Making a doc for Gens 1/2 now like I did for 3 (which you can find tucked in the OP). And while leafing through forum posts about Pokemon Grape I was led to this odd Team Rocket Edition hack of Pokemon Red.Who knew that 15 years before FireRed Rocket, someone already made a hack with that concept? With a new region to boot.
I like EVs and IVs, for the most part.I like IVs for for putting a level of individuality into each Pokemon. Same with Natures. As someone who plays Pokemon games from a roleplayimg perspective, where the fun is in seeing the Pokemon you raise as real animals, I enjoy that. For competitive players where anything other than flawless IVs is pointless, I see the frustration.I think the original EV system from the first two gens was better. First, being able to max EVs in all six stats means the most tedious part of EV training (keeping track and making sure you don't get the wrong EVs) is gone. Second, and related to that, it's never too late to EV train a Pokemon (without needing a way to reset EVs). Third, by making EV yield equal to the base stats, you are rewarded for teaining against more powerful Pokemon, and you train multiple stats with each Pokemon you battle. And fourth, it makes it more beneficial to raise a lower leveled Pokemon instead of just catching a higher leveled one.Again, speaking mostly from an RP perspective.>>58566282To me, I just prefer the look and feel of Gen 3. The Gen 4 game feel sluggish, and the 3D models have ugly aliasing. Also, I hate the dual screen functions.
>>58567684>Who knew that 15 years before FireRed Rocket, someone already made a hack with that concept? With a new region to boot.Now that you've said that I've gotta pitch the idea of a doc for 15+ year old hacks. Lots of fun archeological finds to be had.
>>58562628That's how it is for every pokemon game, at least gens 1 to 4.
>>58567920It never feels like the level disparity is that high beside maybe Johto where it's only hard to train because of how low leveled everything is.
Current game I'm playing has an Inverted Type format, built this team for it, is there too much overlap here? No legendaries or paradox mons are available btw, not even weaker ones like Zapdos
>>58567818The old stat exp system was tedious because you just maxed it out. Like IVs, there was no reason to not max them out. Unlike IVs, it is nearly impossible to get 0 in attack or speed for those Pokemon that don't have them.I kind of dislike them too because it makes adding new Pokemon to your team late in the game pointless. Why would I start from scratch when I have something that has inherently higher stats just from being used for longer?The best compromise is the modern EV limits, but treated as a skill point system in other RPGs.
When I make my hack I will add a button in the options menu for animation speedup that instantly brings you to the end of the game and makes you the champion roll credits. There ya go, adhd faggots just hate playing games so I accommodated you.
>>58568138Based. I will now play your game.
>>58567818Keep EVs and Natures and have in game resources that clearly explain their function, and make them easily adaptable/resetable with items, training facilities, if not both. Have the pokedex clearly state which pokemon helps training what stat with funny lore reasons and explicit descriptions, maybe with text highlighting the relevant stat. (A Pikachu fighting a lot of Ratatta will naturally be faster than another getting used to tanking geodude hits. Pokemon with big arms = good for training ATK, pokemon who are said to resist mental manipulation = good for SPdef etc) Remove IVs entirely or have natures being the determining factor behind IVs and add a lot more personalities instead that only give positive bonuses in a varying degree. You keep the RP elements and have a system easy to digest and invest time into
>>58568138>you faggots hate playing gamesI have 800 hours in emerald rogue and 200 hours which is more than any mainline or romhack game. Still less time than what I've spent on showdown. No pokemon game made me play past the 100 hour mark since X/Y in 2013.In-house battle, overworld, dialogue and other animation speedup options are literally making me play more of the game, not less
>>58568138>waiting for the animations you've seen thousands of times to finish is playing the game
>>58568245It's funny, isn't it? Retards who think we're "skipping the game" by speeding up repetitive timewasting bullshit are absolute retards who can't tell repetitive timewasting bullshit from meaningful gameplay.Personally I don't bother trying to convince those low IQ hinjoos.
Pokemon Hearth was fine. I like the little nods they made to making the game seem like it really is set in the past: pens instead of PCs and a guy who has to run over to put them in the pen, a different item instead of the EXP share. There's a coherent visual identity to the maps and portraits, which is pretty nice, if totally genderblended to the point I really didn't know if I was picking the male or female avatar.Couple of bits to improve, like it being totally unclear when you're supposed to head to the gyms, which feel like afterthoughts. Or not being able to get information on mons for the dex other than what you're told by random NPCs. I'd maybe have that pop up after X amount of battles.
>>58567818EVs/IVs lose their appeal when you play le perfect enhancement hack and they become mandatory to get through all the smogon slop in your way
>>58567602Wine?
>>58568229>grinding on random pokemon for EVsHonestly just add an option at the daycare where they ask what habitat you think your pokemon likes the most, and whichever one you pick will give 1 point of EVs for an associated stat of that habitat for however many steps makes sense.
>>58568229>>58568654This is way too clunky and unintuitiveThe solution to EVs is way simpler than all thisJust make it so you stockpile the EVs like stat points or a currency then let the player distribute them how they want at a PC or somethingCompletely fixes the issues while keeping their intended effect intactThis is how they should've always worked if GF didn't love their hidden mechanics so much
>>58568682Distribute them at a PC or on level up, anything is better than it being a literal hidden stat with an obscure mechanic. How they expected people to tackle the Battle Frontier is beyond me, especially when opponents get perfect EV distributions.
>Wot if cut was le bug move even if does zero sense?>wot if you fought three level 40 tentacruels before you ever saw a single tentacool?>wot if you could sort items but not in the pc?>wot if every swimmer had a 50 level seaking??>wot if every trainer and his mother had magmars, blastoise, rapidash and alakazams?
>>58568824The item sorting is the only thing I agree with. Trainers having actual pokemon variety, and making Cut not just be a shittier version of Strength, while still being a mandatory move to learn, is just an objective improvement from the original. Unless you really enjoy going through 20 trainers who all have the same 3 underlevelled pokemon.You should instead be criticising his shitty hacks for not being a big enough overhaul to the base game. All he does is make a shittier version of other Vanilla+ hacks, and leverages his jetube audience to make it the "definitive" one for normalfags.
>>58568901>Unless you really enjoy going through 20 trainers who all have the same 3 underlevelled pokemon.I do cause thats realistic, having everytrainer be able to win every gym makes no sense
>>58568922>every trainer be able to win every gymDon't most trainers only have maybe 2 or 3 pokemon at most? I played through Emerald Legacy and didn't notice any trainers outside of the Ace Trainers have actual high tier pokemon, but they at least had some variety. And there were still fishermen with like 6 magikarp.
>>58568948More than 2-3 Pokemon, they also have full-time jobs.
>>58568950I'll replay it and get back to you on that, but I'll trust your memory more than mine. From a purely gameplay perspective I would prefer trainers be more challenging than wild encounters, but immersion-wise it also doesn't make sense for them all to be just standing around waiting for you specifically to be passing by, and to not rush back to the pokemon center when you defeat them, but I understand that's being pedantic. I can only tell you I didn't get the impression that random trainers were stronger than the gym leaders.
>>58568955Oh, I wasn't talking about Emerald Legacy specifically. No clue about what that's about. I'm just saying, in most games the people you encounter and battle have jobs or things to do or the like.
>>58568962Oh I see, fair enough then. I suppose you could justify that those people with a full time job are on their break or something, it's just something I suppose you're not meant to think about. I do think a little about that one old lady in Emerald's Battle Frontier who says that she once beat a gym leader though, so I suppose it's not totally out of the question that some randoms have a couple of badges under their belt but never cared about making it to the pokemon league.
>>58568682But that would be taking inspiration from better games which is bad and wrong!
>>58564329sounds fun to me
>>58562296basado
>>58561952when you make them
>>58562296Wack was made by the speedup hating posters so it's unplayable
>>58569384This is objectively fucking falseSpeedup is built into Wack, using the same alt to toggle speedup key that all the civilized essentials games use
>>58559441Those trainer sprites/mugshots look atrocious. Also looks like you can only be either a girl or a tranny
>>58567872i would have no problem including old stuff in these documents, the issue arises from finding they exist
trannylazarus will be released 14th november
>>58559441What's with all the high quality hacks lately?
>>58570336Gen 3 rom hacking's pretty much solved and can make whatever they want. It's just that a lot of people choose to make QoL or difficulty hacks.
>>58570252That's right, and you're gonna lap it up like the good little piggy you are.
>>58570355Hell yeah!
>>58562675retard, there are ways to balance the game without giving up and making xp worthless
>>58565009shiny hunt?
>>58570355Mayhaps, I'll replay the demo to remember if it was good
>>58568138You pandered to the speed freaks, even when you know they are objectively wrong, so I don't have to feel bad for never playing your hack

Added Gen 1 to the list, Gen 2 will come soon enough.If anyone can let me know important things I missed, that'd be great.I decided to just put everything into one document for convenience :) but maybe i'll break it up again if things run slow.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mZrRXlkq0ZmBr7Zzglb1Zer_JuJoTUWckrtRP0ROWCU/
"man this sidequest system is so good, a lot of these kinda seem really poorly thought out though compared to the first one, maybe itll get better">>>>>>>>FUCK YOUUUUUAND FUCK THE TIME TURNER MISSION TOO
>>58571155Still dont know how the hell im gonna get 100 fucking battle frontier wins
>>58566496>>58566727What SM demake hack are you guys talking about? I'm interested.
>>58571129Good effort anon! BTW I noticed you mentioned the 20th anniversary Brown, but wouldn't you rather use pictures from that version? https://rainbowdevs.com/title/brown/
>>58571214It's actually a USUM demake with a few elements from SM, it's called Ultra Eclipse and it's being made by the same guy who translated the SwSh demake to English.
>>58571284That looks pretty good. Has anyone played it?
>>58571313I can't find anything about it on Google, bug it looks really cool. Thx anon! Gotta add it to the "look out for" list.
>>58571284not a bad idea, i kind of want to keep it listed as 2004, but I imagine most people playing it will want to play the new version.
Is Elite Redux worth it?
>>58571313>graphic design is my passion
>only just getting into playing romhacks>feel super late to the party>most roms I've tried just modify pokemon moves stats and items to make it harder>little focus on the story or the overworldIs my dream of a fully fleshed out Pokemon world a delusion?
>>58572757We always have the afterlife, bro.
which is the best of the beta gold/silver romhacks?is there a gen 3 romhack that isnt ugly
>>58572757You should become my husband and make the world and story.Meanwhile I focus on the balance and sense of the game.
>>58572757>Is my dream of a fully fleshed out Pokemon world a delusion?Yes. It's all "Fire Red/Emerald but LE HARD LE COMPETITIVE HARD NUZLOCKE ALL TRAINERS HAVE PERFECT IV AND EV ON ALL STATS YOU CAN'T USE BAG DURING BATTLE". All went downhill when pokeemerald was released and we got many many retards "perfecting" Emerald. Goodbye the times of Glazed, Flora Sky, Adventures Red, Rocket Edition, Light Platinum and many others
>>58572822You can fix the game, but you can also add story.I wish people tried that.Also unpopular opinion but a fixed version of the game would remove legendaries / unbalanced Pokémon and gimmicks (megas, Z-moves, etc)
>>58572757there are plenty of hacks with new stories and regions though, particularly if you just got into rom hacks
>>58566957when pokemon clover gets a C&D notice
>>58571612What do you have to lose?
>>58570557Recordkeepers is fun but some boss battles are complete bullshit. I faced a mespirit that kept healing and buffing itself and I couldn't kill it.
>>58573242bro, your toxic?assuming you're allowed to do that
>>58573291You progress by defeating pokemon and obtaining their moves. Said moves can be given to any pokemon regardless of moveset or type. Bosses give you their abilities instead. So you could do a run without getting a poison, paralysis or sleep inducing move. Also, bosses have three phases and they heal status when transitioning to the next. But the player can see what move they're going to use next, and if you KO the boss before it attacks while it transitions into another phase, you make them flinch
>>58572763y-yeah>>58572782I'm already married>>58572940any recs? ideally I want something that has both story and competitive thinking
>>58573416I can be your Poké-wife. Your real wife does not have to know.I wish there was a Pokémon "fix", but I am already busy with Neopets.com fixing, so I can only hope to enchant an up-and-coming romhack developer for the Pokémon location fixes I wish to see.
>>58573416Unbound is often considered the best, though the story is meh
Zamn. That anons Japanese Twitter friend is cracked. https://x.com/pokereplica/status/1984564560926478452>>58573416Gen 1: BrownGen 2: Prism, Peridot, God/Silver 97' Reborn. --- not a new region but Black and White 3 Genesis is another sequel in Unova in a new context.Gen 3: Unbound, Gaia, Tourmaline, Vega, Lazarus (Gen 2 aesthetic, drops in under 2 weeks), Super Mariomon (not technically Pokemon, but if you like Mario you'll definitely like this), Odyssey(?)There are others cooking up still like Lazarus: Coral, Orange - Island Walker, Saffron, Darkfire, Peach and Lime, Iridium.
>>58573497Gold*/Silver 97 Reforged*.Most of these aren't too competitive focused, not like a lot of enhancement hacks anyhow.
What's the equivalent for a GBA hack?
>>58573546Maybe Modern Emerald.
is Crystal Dust canned?
Is there any HexManiac romhack/game that is actually good?
looks like this game is still alive after allfound this on the creators pokecommunity signature
Please tell me this is good. Enjoyed the Orange Islands romhack but difficulty was weird. The 3rd and 4th gym leaders had less Pokemon than the first 2.
>>58575244Take one for the team
Bumper
>>58575244>Over 50 gym battles. >National Dex with over 900 Pokémon up to generation 8.Hard pass.
>>58573242>>58570557Honestly this looks pretty interesting, I'll check it out
>My goal in the making of this game was to create an authentic Pokémon experience, and a speed-up button is not something you would ever see in a real Pokémon game.Hard pass
>>58576819I would understand this if the game in question had good pacingSpoiler: it won'tEven the first SMT had way faster battles than Gen 1
>>58573242Suicune with Chilling Water and Life Dew nearly made me rage quit, but damn is this a fun hack.
>>58576792there is no easier way to tell a romhack is shit than having the entire modern pokedex available.a good hack cherrypicks a limited dex like Prism.
>>58577262>like Prism As if Prism has a choice, the 253 dex was a gen 2 limitation at the time.
>>58577381This, it would've been bloatslop too if it were made in pokecrystal today.
>>58577262This, everything past Gen 3 is bloatslop.
>>58577381And it's a better game for that.
If gen 4 already has decomps how come their hacks aren't nearly as advanced or popular as gen 3Seems like the DS games would be the best base for hacks
>>58577543Because they're still missing documentation, tools that trivialize the process of making a hack, and expansion ROMbases to further compound that effortlessness.
>>58577262a dex's size matters only as much as the way in which the dex is distributedit's just that games with a full dex rarely ever add new areas or events to properly accommodate all of the new pokemon, they just slap 10+ pokemon on every route and call it daynot a romhack, but despite how much people seethe over the game I think pokemon reborn is unironically an excellent example of how to handle a full dex>lots of purely optional areas that don't have excessively bloated encounter tables>extra pokemon on the overworld to fill out the routes without expecting the player to run in the grass for more encounters>consistent number of optional events and sidequests that reward the player with new pokemon for actually bothering to explore
