Iridium
Blaze Black/Volte White 2 Redux v2
Gaia 4.0
R.O.W.E. mega update

>>59022808
Ghost Grey is looking good, dev is working on the post game right now, should be out soon™

Plaitinum Kaizo is out on the 15th, don't think many people here would like it though.

Tectonic is getting another update, probably releasing during the summer. Mostly qol though, like PC mult-select, and a better move relearner menu.

What are some ROMhacks that have a difficulty level/curve thats a step up from the vanilla games while still feeling fun and fair?
Renegade Platinum seems to be tossed around a lot for this exact idea, I'd like to try this type of hack for each gen

>>59023055
None at all.

>>59023223
Oh okay. I was wondering if maybe there was even one good romhack ever created in the last 20 years, but thankfully a random shitposter is here to tell me that no good romhack has ever been made. Thank god!

Would anyone be interested in trying out the latest build of my fangame? There's content up until the sixth gym but it's really only properly tested up until past the third or so. It's Essentials so it should be pretty easy to run. Let me know what you guys think

>>59023358
Rape.

>>59023355
well i'm not really sure what i expected. you should probably get that checked by a doctor

Is romhacking being replaced by fangames? I feel like every cool project in recent years except Odyssey, Lazarus, and Unbound have been fangames. This sucks for me since you can't run rpgmaker on a modded Switch.

Any other ambitious romhacks I should check out? As in, ones with a totally new experience and not just rehashing Emerald/Fire Red?

Has anyone tried this yet? Seems like a fun concept

>>59023839
the newest difficulty nuzlocke hack
https://pokemonnull.com/

I want to give Pokemon hatched from eggs bonus experience so they aren't useless for as long. Should it be a 2x bonus forever, or should the benefit go away when that Pokemon reaches a badge obedience level(then the bonus would be lost forever)? I could also try to make an even larger boost to experience if it is only something temporary.

>>59023848
The Elite Redux update. I've played it through before in previous versions, and I wish it wasn't just Emerald maps, but there's something comforting about rushing through it with all-new teams of goobers.

>>59023699
>since you can't run rpgmaker on a modded Switch.
Uh... pretty sure you can play rpgmaker stuff on a modded 3ds (from my testing just simple stuff like OFF and Yume Nikki so there's that) no idea if that can actually run essentials games

>>59024127
I think that's good enough, after all if you are breeding you are already spending some time for prep work (gathering IV items, catching mons with nice IVs/egg moves and such) so getting the mon up to the rest of the team as fast as possible should be ideal

>>59024241
Hopefully it's enough of an incentive for people to bother with egg moves.
A third option I may experiment with is ignoring the boost if the Pokemon is close enough to the player's highest level party member. Like within 5-ish levels.

Nice. I'm also looking forward to when they add all those new areas they have planned out, but who knows how long that'll take...

I watched a few hours of MegaFidough's stream of the new "HELL MODE" the other day and it definitely lives up to its name, he was getting mopped by the first couple route trainers brutally. Apparently it has nuzlocke catching rules too which is fucked, but they seemed buggy.

I don't mean to spam the thread, but yo >>59024149 do you see the Hell Mode team for the FIRST Aqua Grunt in the game? I've never seen shit like this in my life, this cunt has a Mythical, multiple final stage mons, and both an Unaware Clodsire and Ditto to check set-up cheesers. In Fidough's stream I saw some trainer mons had even more than 4 abilities too, This mode is heinous.

It's also awesome though, been wanting to run some multi/full mega teams with the "Permanent Mega Evolution" toggle on for a good while now and this might actually justify using it and not feel super unfair.
Not like there aren't trainers that use multiple megas in Elite Mode anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if Hell Mode ends up having multiple trainers with 6 megas and/or full box-tier legend teams. It only goes up to Roxanne for now anyways, so I guess we'll see.

Just a bit of progress posting, I'm still working on that Rotom Stereo I promised a bit ago. Getting the Stereo part is incredibly easy, but Rotom has some some surprisingly really annoying features to get right. I might have to rework the mouth for the hundredth time, took me a whole afternoon to get the eyes right by looking at a regular Rotom's sprite.
The front sprite will probably be finished by later today, if everything goes well I'll get the backsprite finished by tomorrow.

Pokemon Lazarus
My goal is to use only Dark or Ghost types (or monsters that evolve into them) and it is pretty fun.
This is the first hack I've played that implemented wandering pokemon in the overworld and it is really the best thing ever.
On Hard Mode it is a nice little challenge if you go in with an unoptimized semi-random team. Don't know if that will hold up or not, but it is good so far, 3 badges in.
The aesthetic is super charming.

The fetch quests they give you aren't the best things ever, but they do give some rewards for actually catching specific monsters or buying specific items. So that is nice.
I don't like the fishing minigame.

If you're that worried about it, take chunks from other sprites and edit them a little bit. Having a game to play is usually more important than having a really pretty game.

>>59026162
Not necessarily, just keep in mind stuff like shading, good color mixing and that all Pokemon related sprites are drawn in a 2x2 sprite format.
I think the safest and easiest way to get into spriting from personal experience is editing already existing sprites, or at the very least using already existing sprites as a basis for your work at first.
For instance, here was one of my first successful ventures. Mostly just a basic recolor with a few small adjustments here and there.
It's a simple edit of the FRLG biker sprite.
If you're looking for a pretty simple to use software for drawing or editing sprites. PixiEditor is really simple to use and it's been my go to choice for quite some time.

>Began playing Team Rocket edition (Dragonsden)

>>59026272
That's because it's a latinx ripoff of the original Rocket Edition I'm pretty sure.

>>59026285
I could see that, I'm just surprised at how blatant it is by pretty much reusing a lot of the plot of the original with their own OCs, surprised how a lot of folk ate it up as well.

>>59026290
The original Rocket Edition and it's dev went through hell because the trannies on Pokecommunity went fucking ballistic over a single fucking joke really late in the game.
Of course they're shilling a shitty latinx ripoff of a game they hate.

>>59026300
I miss that sort of edgy humor in hacks, shit like this is what made hacks like CAWPS, Outlaw or even Snakewood memorable despite trashy they looked.

Is there any Moemon hack that removes or replaces ALL Pokémon? I played Star Emerald and it felt so cheap and jarring seeing the vanilla startup movie full of Pokémon followed by the overworld Vigoroth moving boxes during the intro inside a hack designed specifically and only to replace the visuals.

Should I play Emerald Seaglass or Star Emerald first? I was thinking Star because the moemons are very cute and sexy

There is a non-zero chance that there is some kid out there whose parent is really anti-nintendo with how the 3d games turned out especially with SwSh and SV and instead gets the kid to play rom hacks instead of the mainline games as their first experience with pokemon.

>>59027454
Even their latest release has this shit. It has overworld pokemon sprites you can encounter in routes and it's just normal ass pokemon.

What's the name of that one intentionally edgy parody essential game that lets you kill NPCs and you have to smuggle the gun pokemon around?

>>59027665
edge rising iirc

>>59027405
The game had nigger NPCs and I think one or two faggots randomly shoved in.
I fucking hated Seaglass because the game was dogshit, removed a dozen features from the Hoenn games and added nothing of substance in return. The spritework was hideous, the underwater safari thing was probably one of the worst features in any game ever and I have no idea how anyone thought that shit was well handled. Just overall a really shitty hack that looks awful. No clue how fags were fooled into thinking this crap was good.
>what other hacks have dexnav
There's Noon, which is a fun and decently long demo right now.
Besides that I haven't seen the dexnav being used in much desu.

>>59027801
>the underwater safari thing was probably one of the worst features in any game ever
What was the matter with it?
t. never played seaglass and likes the idea of expanding safari zone-like areas

Just played pokemon white to get back into pokemon. What rom hack would you suggest to play after? it can be a gba romhack or ds romhack.

>>59027801
Noon has 30 or so pokemon what do they need dexnav for

>>59027808
You got 100 steps to explore a fuckhuge area, the encounter rates in the underwater safari are absurdly low, sometimes it will take you upwards of a whole minute to get a single encounter in the sea grass and pulling off the old trick of moving in a single spot to avoid wasting steps feels like it doesn't work sometimes. It's such a needlessly shitty thing and it's clear the dev wanted to advertise this crap as much as humanly possible.
>>59027813
Can't go wrong with Clover. Though if you want a very legit Pokemon experience, Gaia is pretty alright.
>>59027814
Dunno, but it's neat the game has it.

Bros, is there something like Modern Emerald but without the newer pokemon? It includes a lot of cool things, but I prefer the original dex

>>59027801
Is there any patch to remove the white outlines from seaglass? I like gen 2 aesthetics but RSE looked fine as they were, the "modern" GBA look is part of their identity, if it ever needed any visual overhaul it was to look more like FRLG, not gen 2. On that note, if any gens could use gen 2 demakes it would be every gen since 4 if only so they're easier for emulate except for Alola and gen 10 because the tropical settings fit the GBA aesthetic like a glove, but of course the lazarus dev is demaking alola with gen 2 graphics instead of gen 3 ones.

Spic devs have fallen off quite a bit in recent times. Opalo's dev turned out to be an AI jeet, who can't be bothered to draw shit for his games and has AI do everything for him, that's while also boasting he's this super cool dev who spends a lot of money on his passion projects that he totally carefully crafted and TOTALLY didn't use AI to do it for him.
Besides that shitshow, I've been binging quite a few spic games recently and they all turned to be mediocre to really shit, Berilo is okay at best, game is all style, very little substance, Revival was probably one of the worst "games" I've ever played, it's a fucking walking simulator with a story that moves at the pace of a speeding car and it's the most cringey anime shit ever, it spews a billion references in your face every 5 seconds like the dev thinks the player is a toddler who's going to be fucking riveted by keys being jiggled in front of their face.
And do not get me started on Old World Dawn, literally the Spanish equivalent of Sonichu.
There are good games like the ones you brought up and Realidea, Reminiscencia, Atlas and a few others. But spic games have largely fallen into complete slop territory.

I didn't get far enough into Seaglass to see all of it, but my friends who were playing along with me and made it to the end noted that shit like contests, the bike puzzles, some of the cute features like the ash route collection, the battle tents and a bunch of other shit was completely scrapped or massively gutted.
A bunch of base game features or quirks are essentially removed as well via getting made entirely pointless because of "muh heckin QoL".
And all in favor of what? A fucking disgusting "unique artstyle" with ugly outlines and disgusting abomination sprites that look like shitty AI reconstructions of the GBA sprites for gym leaders, Roxanne's sprite in Seaglass was probably one of the ugliest things I've ever seen and it doesn't get better for the other gym leaders or important characters.

Don't FR/LG have the same framerate as R/S/E? Anyway, you get 60 fps by programming the game to be fast enough to update the screen 60 times per second.

The guy who made it was banned from the CC discord years ago. No idea if anyone saved the patch file before that drama happened. Got blasted for being 'racist' even though the dude was just as liberal. Boiled down to being more racist to un-erase japanese people over darker tones because logic.

These diversity rom hacks are aging like milk.

>>59028503
Not sure where you're pulling those numbers from, but even if they're real it doesn't mean much to me. "All publicity is 'good' publicity" as they say, and Clover certainly has notoriety backing it, no shortage of Youtubers using it for views or new controversies either. That's not even accounting for things like bots downloads and inflated stats.

Peridot doesn't have very many downloads last I checked, but it's a more fresh, authentic, "soulful", and complete hack than the vast majority out there. It was also made by a /vp/ regular, but something I could actually respect and share with others.
I love Radical Red from a gameplay perspective (foreign concept here, I know) but find new region stuff infinitely more impressive and exciting. Which one do you think has more downloads and gets more clicks? It gets whined about here enough anyways.

>>59029812
Randomizing the skin pallets of literal npcs (relevant trainers untouched) is not black face, gen 2's limited pallets and bright colours on darker skin tones are blown out of proportion here. Actual blackface is rooted in minstrel dehumanization, malicious intent, and racist propaganda. Frankly, I'm not convinced any of you complaining about skin tone diversity care about blackface and its historical baggage and harms either, call it a hunch.

Game Freak themselves have been making each region more diverse over the years anyways. They even darkened Team Aqua in the remakes, and added some melanated trainers to BDSP despite the otherwise generally overly faithfulness of it.
It's not a change I would've made personally -- I would rather make my own region -- but it's whatever.
Japan irl is often lauded for being an "ethnostate" and "honorary aryan" by chuds, is that why it bugs you so much?

>>59030597
You spew words like nigger and faggot anonymously in 2026, but still have the nerve to call others psychopaths. Can you even define "woke" for me in this context without sounding wildly ignorant and/or psychopathic?

nta but pokemon is supposed to be utopian and having black people there just breaks the immersion
it makes sense that elms lab full of expensive equipment and rare pokemon is unguarded in a region with the crime rate of japan, but with black people in the region he looks like a fucking idiot just leaving those pokemon in the lab for the taking.

Ok.

But erasing the Japanese is fine though.
>Game Freak themselves have been making each region more diverse

Key word there. A region based in Hawaii will have darker skin tones than one based in Japan, imagine the shock.
>Team Aqua in the remakes, and added some melanated trainers
And japanese fisherman get tan. That rom hack straight replaces Japanese with African.
>Japan irl is often lauded for being an "ethnostate" and "honorary aryan" by chuds, is that why it bugs you so much?
Dumb argument equivalent to "well Hitler drank water and i see you're drinking water..."

You're saying i can AI swap the OG black panther with white & asians and i should expect no backlash right?

devs who do this should have their work reported to Nintendo.

You're not an "auteur", you're not an "artist", you're a content farmer mass-producing derivative slop and you're scared if anyone but the faggiest of nolifer autists plays your game you'll be found out.

What's the best way to replace sprites in a rom hack?
Right now I'm using Hexmaniac Advance to replace some Unbound sprites with some stuff I made. The process is kinda slow and it completely breaks the shiny palette.
Also HexManiac has some issues reading a bunch of Rom Hacks and letting me extract the sprites.
Finding a guide online is ridiculously hard when half the resources are from 2011.

Unironically ask AI for a modern guide.

Does it make Gen 5 less of a linear mess?

>>59030428
Nah, it looks pretty solid.
There are only a few monsters that I think didn't demaster well.

With dark horizon this is now the third colosseum/gale of darkness rom hack I've played and I feel like I've figured out a problem they all share where they throw too many shadow pokemon at you it just becomes noise.

I assume they just want you to have a variety to team build from, and stealing shadow pokemon was the main gimmick, but again, so many are thrown at you right away it becomes tedious. I think a good number is 1 shadow pokemon for every 3 treainers you fight.

At least it'll be open source

>>59034037
They should really just invest in expanding on the wild spot encounter tables, that way the player isn't swamped with the expectation to keep up with the sheer magnitude of shadow mons. It isn't just about catching them, you also have to purify their asses, and if there's only so many ways to do so, it gets utterly miserable.

>>59032575
I shamelessly played through it on easy mode and it was very comfy

>The guy who made it was banned from the CC discord years ago. No idea if anyone saved the patch file before that drama happened. Got blasted for being 'racist' even though the dude was just as liberal. Boiled down to being more racist to un-erase japanese people over darker tones because logic.

Then like 5-6 other retards hop in circle jerkin eachother about how they "never noticed" until that very moment for the 1586th time in 5years.

Weird coincidence, and playing it a little more I reached the first cipher base and the amount of shadow pokemon per trainer has dropped immensely. Seems my guess of them wanting you to have a variety to team build right from the start was correct.

I'm starting the Kanto Expansion Pak hack on steam deck, and was wondering if there was a way to give it color. The screenshots show that, but I don't know if theres a Steam Deck compatible emulator

I haven't messed with gen 3 sprites much, mainly because it's really hard to concentrate so much detail into such small frames, I've been mostly working 180x180 pixel sprites and a few bigger ones here and there.
I think the closest I've ever gotten to make my own gen 3 sprite was this custom lass sprite I was working on a little while back, it's still a 180x180 sprite though, but I tried getting simplified details down like the fingers on the hand. And there was also the Hex Maniac sprite I wanted to uplift but ended up completely reworking into my own custom project.
I might give making gen 3 sprites a try soon, but it's not my forte.

>>59026316
The genuinely funny gags in CAWPS made be unsure if the snakewood tier edge that permeates the game was the dev taking the piss or not. Ending the game by calling you a virgin and saying he fucked your mom is peak romhack

Anybody here played Moemon? Which one is the best? The sprites are really well done, probably the best "fakemon" out there but I really don't feel like playing another Red/Emerald hack.

Do you think it's possible to make a good full-length ROM for a region with only 28 non-legendary Pokemon lines with 42 non-legendary Pokemon in total? No fire, dragon or ghost types.

After watching Japanese folks play Pokemon and noticing some of the names are the same between Japanese and English but most are different, I thought of making a region where the only Pokemon are ones who have the same names in Japanese and English, but the limited numbers and types I listed above are basically it for full evolution lines. Basically every Legendary has the same name between languages, though.

>>59036977
Forgot to mention; only one starter line, that being Chikorita.

>>59023358
Anything that deviates from the 8 gyms + evil team formula. That and a story that has little or nothing to do with human characters.
