Can you get Flame Orb in Vega?
Would anyone be interested in making a romhack adaptation of Pokémon Sage?
>>58931597Only if it involves gay moms getting fucked straight
>>58931659What about straight moms getting fucked gay?
Can somebody critique this map for me? It's the first time I've made anything with advanced map and I wanted to make a basic starting town for fun. Bottom left is the MC's house, top right is the town hall where the mayor's office is. Do you think there's too much empty space? I plan to but NPCs there but I don't want any unneccessary real estate. I read on some forum that a town or route should give the player a clear sense on where they need to go, does this accomplish that well enough?
>>58931597Sure, when Sage is finished.
>>58931350Will I enjoy Odyssey if I don't know shit about doublesI've only focused on singles
>>58931693You can make the yard quite a bit smaller, then scrunch the entire area together a bit. The bottom area with the lake is pointless as is, unless you explicitly intend to do something with it later. Either way, the surrounding walkway is probably unnecessary.The bottom right, and top left houses are too small for the berth they have around everything else. Assuming these houses are for less important NPCs, you can probably put them closer to eachother, then have them share a "plot".My take for how to replan this, would be to take both small houses, and press them together in the top left plot. Move the lake to the bottom right plot, and put a cluster of flowers and trees, maybe a bench or something in the body of that plot, and remove the walkway around it, unless that's truly necessary for future plans. Gives the plot the appearance of a small park or plaza and makes the larger house look less stark (unless it's supposed to)Make the yard a bit smaller, consider putting the mailbox itself on the bottom right corner of the fence (as in, replace the corner piece of the fence) for additional compression, and to make that house stand out a little more (assuming it's the player's home here), then make the town a bit more narrow. Not a whole lot more, just a bit. Maybe like two or three squares more narrow. Maybe one or two squares shorter, depending on if the town feels too cramped after being narrowed. Shortening it would make it feel less like an alleyway if that feeling starts coming through. I would also either make a small negative path of flowers or something on the space between the doors of the houses and the real path, or pull the houses up to be flush with that path. The big house getting the new "park" integrated into its space may justify an entirely new exterior.That's just my take though, use your own best judgment as for what makes logical sense, or with respect to the people and events planned
>>58931693nothing glaringly wrong with it, other than being a bit simple/plain but for a first attempt at mapping it's solid. I think there probably is a bit too much empty space around the bottom right house and upper left path, either tighten it up a bit or add some scenery to fill it in. maps should be more compact than you think. it's a good idea to test walking around in it so you can see it from the player perspective instead of a birds eye, and you will see that any empty space looks worse from the ground. it's pretty square too, breaking up some of the straight lines in the treeline or the pond for example would make it more visually interesting. don't go overboard with that, you still want a clear path for the player so you aren't zig zagging all over the place. it's a balance. but those are pretty common things people struggle with at first, and for a first map it could honestly be a lot worse, so it's not bad.
I don't play games with fakemons.
>>58931865
>>58931693I would expand the lake at the bottom to take up space where the flowers are, remove the flowers from the player’s house and give them the long house like north west. There is nothing at the bottom, so the player isn’t going be overwhelmed/spending time there before heading north. Alternatively I would make the map smaller/thinner to make the area less empty - the small houses don’t need so much space around them. Put more flowers up north along the dirt path cause it’s where town hall is (the worker’s probably put them there) and it’ll attract the player to explore something unique.
where the fuck is the exp share in polished crystal
>>58932080nvm found it got it so late fml
>>58931659>>58931692What about slut moms getting BLACKED RAW?
>>58931744>>58931747>>58932037Took your advice and I think I just ended up making more problems. I now have to fix the trees on the border. I'll keep trying to get it right.
>>58932215I think this looks a lot better fwiw. it's just minor stuff like fixing the tree tiles now. overall this is pretty good. if I were to make one adjustment, I'd add the start of a dirt path in the bottom right where it assumedly leads into a route. but it's not necessary, that's just my taste.
>>58931597Sign me up.(although in all honesty I'd rather wait for >>58931700)
I won't post anymore. There's nothing east, west, or south, it only goes north
What if I replace Sleep and Freeze with Drowsy and Frostbite respectively?
>>58932529>respectivelyoh, really? I'm glad you clarified, otherwise I would have thought you were going to replace sleep with frostbite and freeze with drowsy.
Are there any romhacks where I can play as a little girl (<10)?
>>58932370>>58932376>>58932378Thoughts?
>>58932773>Female pred images>Feral pred textDo better.
>>58932773>look mom I posted porn in an autosaging thread after the mods were asleep aren't I specialAbsolute fucking loser behavior
Man everyone keeps saying "the age of romhacks is here, it's never been this good ever!" but I still find older hacks to be better. >lazarus is fully of tranny shit, extremely short, bad story, bad music, inconsistent tiles pulled from dozens of other things and look kind of jarring when put side by side, and just not very fun to playthrough>odyssey was a cool concept, but is ruined by the other game elements because all the regional forms are wack, the spritework is kind of bad, the story is just bad fanfiction slop, the FOE system was half-baked, and again just sort of boring to playthrough but I only stomached it because double battles are cool>dreamstone mysteries is just trying to do an unbound but nowhere near the same level>heart and soul is just a demake and gave me 0 fun when i realized i was basically just playing standard ass HGSS with a slightly new coat of paint and some trainer team tweaks also the new sprites look like dogass>mariomon is just a short meme hack, fun for 1 run, never touch it again>pisces is a bug filled mess with a ton of poorly balanced new shit for the sake of new shit and 90% of the fakemon are fugly as sin, but it has great length at leastI just don't feel like any of these are better than Gaia/Clover/Unbound/Radical Red. All of those games kept my attention for their entire playthrough. The polish was amazing. The stories much better than what we have now. The trainer teams and balancing were good, even with multiple difficulty modes. Hell I don't even know if these new hacks can compete with Drayano stuff which are just enhancement hacks. I feel no joy in any of the new stuff. I feel no connection. I get bored only a few gyms in, which considering how short most of these are is only like 3-4 hours into the game.
>>58932773Fuck off Shuan.
>>58931350>Best romhacks of 2025How right are they?
>>58933316>good>transhit>fakeshit>transhit>demake>looks pretty idkr*edit/8
>>58933316They may as well have been the only romhacks of 2025
>>58933316I don't care for GBA hacks.
>>58933316See >>58933220Unbound is still the pinnacle of new region, Clover is still the pinnacle of fun, Radical Red is still the pinnacle of difficulty enhancement, and Gaia is the pinnacle of "feels like a pokemon game that i somehow missed." Newer hacks are all kind of shitty in their own way.
>>58933316That's basically the list of complete hacks released in 2025 but I think it should also include Dreamstone Mysteries and Tourmaline.
>>58933220Rom hacking, and (single player)vidya in general, is always the best it's ever been because the best games presently are out there and you can play them. There is nothing stopping you from going back to something that wasn't released this year.
>>58933353what are the pinnacles for essential games?
>>58933365Pokemon Rejuvenation
>>58933365Moemon
>>58933365Reborn
>>58933381Transhit
>>58933365was ment for >>58933343
>>58933365Wack
>>58933365Reborn is cringe, but it's at least finished, and has good gameplay. Tectonic is also finished, but changes pretty much everything gameplay wise.
Pokemon TECTONIC is SO GOODhttps://www.tectonic-game.com/
>>58933343>antiplayer features>pinnacle of fun
>>58932398Beautiful.
Any of these have dating mechanincs (besides Cultivation)? Doesn't even need to be porn, just NPCs that can be optionally romanced or sidequested.
>>58933731Kill yourself.

Your rival in Vega being a Ranger, and his encounter theme being a rendition of the Normal Capture music from Shadows of Almia is a very nice touch.https://youtu.be/IdabDGrAxmU?si=_4BOXnWo9lGxZ8uphttps://youtu.be/MJCbU96j96k?si=Hh8xiwiLsKO_WA_D
Why isn't Elite Redux listed?
>>58934022The Vega dev team was big on the Ranger love>Rival is a ranger>The Ranger from the Manaphy Movie is a big player in the plot>Town with a Ranger HQ (IIRC it even has the music from Ranger)>Plot McGuffin is a Capture Styler
>>58934038>>58934022Rangers are such dogshit and yet significant parts of the fandom are obsessed with them anyway.
>>58934032>>>/v/733215039

>>58934038Love that, Pokemon Ranger is one of my favourite spin-offs, lots of nostalgia for it too.>Manaphy MovieBetween this and the characters and locations from Altair and Sirius' post-game I reckon I have a couple Pokemon movies to watch.>>58934043Not a big fan of Pokemon Ranger anon?
Loser.
Pokemon?
God first David and now this 3rd worlder posting his retarded fetish, /rheg/ is fucking doomed.
>>58934351At least one of them we know the mods will clean up.
>>58934375don't worry about the other one, the feds are still working.
>>58933331so what do you play, the biannual Gen 2 hack?
>>58934509That's good enough for me.
So question for people working on essentials. Do you guys know of a public resource for tiles? I'm looking for more kinds of indoor environments.
>>58931350Clover having built in anti-cheat and anti-speedup are the greatest shit ever. So many nuzlocke fags couldn't release their playthrough videos because they got put in jail for hacking in rare candies lmao.
>>58933588battleslopI need my hacks to have FRICTION and INVESTMENT
>>58934662Other then what's in the OP and Eevee expo, you can find some stuff on deviantart.I'd recommend learning how to do a bit of pixel art on your own as well, tiles aren't too hard and you can already use existing tiles as a reference.What style are you going for?
Is Dreamstone Mysteries any good?
>>58935168Yes
>>58935168No
>>58935168Maybe
>>58935168I don't know
>>58933948Tourmaline and Pisces are awfulDreamstone is also just painfully mediocre and while Odyssey is alright it's undoubtedly pretty cringe.Man 2025 was not a good year for hacks
>>58935168Can you repeat the question?
>>58935168What's that?
>>58935168Ummmmm...
I'm having a bit of a problem.https://github.com/zaksabeast/XY-All-Friend-Safaris-PatchI have this on my Main 3DS, it's an old 3DS XL, it works perfectly, was easy to do, zero complaints.I just tried to do the same thing for my New Nintendo 3DS XL in the same way, and I get pic related. What did I fuck up and what can I do to get it working?Please assist.
>>58932398One thing to keep in mind with ornamental objects: They look nice while mapping, but they add nothing but clutter while playing.I'd suggest keeping them to a minimum, or at the very least, overlapping them where you'd otherwise already have dead space.
>>58933889>clover dev calls us trannies and posts Aislop
>>58936003>cheater gets mad that someone else used a shortcut to success instead of putting in effortThe irony
>>58935168Its alright.Not bad, I had fun.It felt pretty short though and not much to do after you beat the game.Worth a play at least.
>>58935168I think this meme has gone on long enough. No, it's a shit game that confuses QoL features with good gameplay. Don't get me wrong it has all the good QoL stuff you would want, but the gameplay is just most miserable slog you will ever encounter. The game removes EVs and only had rare IV manipulation items, so you are always at a disadvantage. Grinding is near impossible because the wild pokemon are set up in a way that after an hour of grinding you MAYBE can get one party member to mach the gym's level. The routes are also one way paths, so there's no back tracking and if you run out of healing items, fuck you. If you think trashlocks and Garbage Green is peak Pokemon, then this game is for you. Otherwise, avoid at all cost.
best game for Fakemons?

Here’s my Viva Las Vega team so far, after getting the Sarfah Badge.
>>58935901I'm told / have just learned that it's because this copy of Pokemon X hasn't been updated.How difficult is it to update a copy of a 6th gen game if your 3DS is EU and your cart is Japanese? I have an up to date English cart but I'm unsure of what exactly my options are or what I'd have to do to get this shit updated.I have 9 Japanese copies I'd potentially have to get updated, so I'm hoping this won't be too much trouble.
>>58931350F O EF O EF O E
>>58933316recordkeepers is probably the best hack i've ever played. fully "complete", but they are adding new challenges periodically
>play polished crystal>goes from really great improvement hack to bizarro custom feeling jank the moment you beat some leaders in kantovery weird
>>58937857
>>58937911I stopped at the Kanto portion. I really hated how an almost completely nonlinear section of the game was railroaded from the getgo.
>>58938022I don't even know what that means
Going through my old pokemon games folder, and I see I've got "coralv2.3". But it seems the latest version is just the 1.2 demo. What gives?
>>58938022
>>58939166That's the really old demo, from before it was ported to the Polished engine. I have a 2.2 version from mid-2018.

Sprites for the 3 Mysterious Pokémon. Based off of cryptids, They're part-Ghost and share a signature move called Vanishing Strike, a Ghost-type version of U-Turn.
>>58939268Yeah I was just a little confused. I should clarify that 2.3 is from 2019 according to windows, but the demo I downloaded from the 2022 update is just called 1.2 on pokecommunity.
>>58939685Clever. Do they run from battle?
>>58939346>"bleed" statusyeah nah lmao
>>58940056As much as I want to since it’s fitting, they won’t be roaming Pokemon.
>>58940315Me again, if I were to make them roaming Pokémon, only the Bigfoot and UFO will be such. The Nessie will be the only stationary one of the trio.

Any good QoL roms of Platinum? All Pokemon available, Infinite TMs, Nature/IV changers? I know there's Renegade Platinum but is there anything else that doesn't give all trainers perfect IVs in every Pokemon for no reason?
Should I find a new romhack to play or should I kill myself?
Heyyyyy!!! I’m new to 4chan but I’m so glad to have a place post about my new Pokémon fangame!! ^_^ Pokémon Mysteries is a cool fangame with an awesome story, cool regional forms and new Megas!It’s still a WIP up to the 5th badge but I hope people can download and try it out because I’m hoping to get lots of feedback to make it better okay byyyeeeeee ^_^https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UFkFUw8KNGnzLmxc_FofXOpxW8UWE4_l/view?usp=sharing

What is the best Emerald rom that is just the original game but with shitloads of QoL improvements like all the pokemon available, no trade evolution and unlimited TMs?
>>58945422>good rng for wild pokemonretard?
>>58945616I forgot to add: and no gen 2 graphics, I already.played sea glass emerald.
>>58945616your emerald romhack with QoL improvements like like all the pokemon available, no trade evolution and unlimited TMs, sir
the only thing elite redux is missing is a gender switch

>>58946019Just catch another copy of the mon, also that might cause more problems than it solves with single gender evos/mons with different forms based on gender
Ice Aged MamoswineShe'll be a Bloodmoon Ursaluna/Eternal Floette-type of Pokémon.Her ability is Fur Coat and has a 123/65/80/130/85/52 statspread. Her signature move is Frozen World which hits all targets and has a chance of causing Frostbite.So, what do you think?
>>58946230I think you made this post before
>>58946230>She
>>58945616Here's one. Same game, all Pokemon, QoL, no trade evo, unlimited TMs. Other stuff you may or may not like would be PHY/SP Split, later gen moves like Dragon Pulse, and later gen evos like Roserade (only you can access them anyways, so if you don't want em, just don't evolve.) Also some odd glitches they're still working on.
>>58945616Revelation is my #1. No added post-gen3 fluff.
Are there any mods that insert Pokemon Rejuvenation's regional forms into Reborn? I know about the Misdreavus but the other forms seem cool and I'd love to try them in a game that's less terrible than Rejuv
Don't know if anyone here has any knowledge on the gen 3 source code, but why are certain attributes (battle types, pokemon types, etc.) defined using bits and bytes instead of enums when c can use them just fine? Did enums take up too much space or was it an uncommon practice at the time?
>>58945616Been playing emerald imperium on normal with minimal grind mode on. Its been a fun game. Im at the elite 4 now, building a team for it
>>58946230I think you'll never be as successful as Clover.
>>58946230I think it would be funny if that was the only move that could cause Frostbite.
>>58946790Are you referring to the decomps? Their use of enums can differ from what was done in the original source code.

>>58947210Moemon Official. Try disboard.It's got a picture of a blue charizard x moe.I'd post an invite but those require perms.
>>58947120Moemon annoys me, because there's a bunch of gen 1 pokemon that haven't been updated in well over a decade, have weaker designs because of it, and yet for some reason, they just refuse to update them at all. Like, Pidgeotto doesn't share the mail-carrier theme of its pre-evo or evo, and doesn't even look like a Pidgeotto at all. The geodude line, especially graveler and golem, need to be updated and brought to parity with their alolan forms, and exeggutor, if you follow their usual "full evos kneel or sit to show that they're bigger than you" guidelines, is fucking tiny, and the dress is missing outlines entirely. You can't even use the "they made it small to make the alolan one look bigger" excuse, because the sprite is so fucking old, it PREDATES Sun and Moon.
>>58947941They just updated some moe designs. There's also a couple of different sets of moe patches because of internal drama, of course.
