Is it worth making a Pokemon Romhack in 2026?
>>58613655Can you physically do so?
Yes
Was it ever
Yes there hasn't been a good romhack released since 2020 and we have decompilation now. Please make something for God's sake
>>58613767Emerald Rogue is good
>>58613655Only trannys make romhacks nowadays
>>58613655Alright ideasguy, tell us your idea. Is it a battleless dating simulator where you're Masuda traveling with Merriku in Hoenn and if the date goes well enough the guards at Ever Grande City open up to the Elite 4 area where you have to be more important than the Elite 4 members to Merriku before becoming even more important than Champion Wallace who Merriku leaves you for if you finally get there but haven't done enough for Merriku to stay with you like The Walking Dead but your choices actually matter?
>>58613655Only if you are transitioning
>>58613655>Is it worth makingJust fucking do it. You want to and there's a drought of anything good because the only things that come out now are glorified difficulty tweaks, gay shit and hacks that are made within and specifically for certain communities you and I aren't aware of or involved in. Just make the fucking game anon.
>>58613655Yes. Very much yes.
Nintendo and pokecompany will still send you cease and desists for engaging in passionate fanworks that only boost their revenue and public image. So no.
>>58613655Make a romhack solely for yourself. Doesn't have to be a big one, doesn't have to be an ambitious one, just make a hack with things YOU want to see be done.As long as it's a passion project, you literally can't go wrong with having fun in doing so. If you want others to give a shit about what you've made, then you've already failed the assignment and should just join the sea of Radical Red-likes.
>>58613767>we have decompilation nowso why hasn't anyone ported emerald's battle frontier to firered?
>>58614322Because there's no demand for it. Anyone who wants to play Battle Frontier just plays Emerald, and Battle Facilities typically aren't factored in when it comes to 97% of difficultyslop hacks.
>>58614308I know this is a "trace" of another image but what the FUCK was the original context of the dog?
>>58614332thank you for answering honestly instead of a snarky reply
>>58614343Dog with a Jurassic Park puppet Raptor/T-Rex scaring it while lying down.
There's quite a few great hacks that came out in recent years, some of which are constantly updatedMy favorites include:>Super MarioMon>Polished Crystaland>Pokemon Clover
>>58613655I mean yeah.You can basically make anything you want on the gen 3 engine at this point and I mean ANYTHING.Meanwhile the gen 4 and 5 scenes still need a lot of work so anyone who makes a breakthrough with those engines will be a legend.The great romhacking era is here and anyone can make a name for themselves.
>>58614308I don't understand why Radical Red gets sucked off so hard when Inclement Emerald (difficulty hack without all of RR's gay shit) exists.
>>58614593RR's the progenitor of the difficultyslop epidemic, it's far outclassed nowadays but it's always brought up in acknowledgement that the Pokemon hack scene would be a completely different landscape if it never came along and blew up.
>>58613655Some companies hire you for modding their games. Nintendo on the other hand, wants to rape and kill modders' families.
>>58614413>...great hacks that came out in recent years, some of which are constantly updated>Clover>Recent>Constantly updatedLFAOOOOOO
>>58613655Be ambitious, make a Snap demake
>>58614867Any Day NowMark my fucking words!!
