>>59210802This reads like an indian wrote it.
why are romhack so fucking retarded and still put shiny odds at 1/4000nigga noone is gonna shinyhunt in your dogshit hack just make it 1/100
>>59212803Because they want to make shinies co->I WANT IT MORE COMMONAh, you're trans. Good talk.
>>59212803Part of the unholy trinity alongside scripted shinies and shinies in trainer teams.
I never understood why some people get autistic about original shiny odds desu
>>59212880Pokemon fans are the only ones to shit their pants over recolors. It's par for the course.
>>59212880Lowers the perceived value, same with "method hunted" shinies (Pokeradar, Chain Fishing, SOS calling, ect).I get it, encountering a full odd shiny feels different than one with much higher odds, but sometimes you don't care about arbitrary rarity and just want to use a colourswap of a mon -- especially when that colourswap looks cooler than the original.
So glad most hacks moved on from HMs it makes the experience a lot better
>>59212880A good amount of shinies have better color palettes than the originals.

Are people here interested at all in non-pokemon (but still inspired by) non-romhack but still monster battling/raising projects? Or is this not the place to talk about that sort of thing
>>59213730This is /vp/, you tell me.
>>59213730yeah sure
>>59212991You're not spending as much time playing a rom hack compared to a mainline title, anyway. Nor are you moving those shinies forward to a new game when the next gen releases.
>Spend whole month learning HMA to make my own attempt at a more visually appealing Kanto with only default assets>Project Evergreen gets announced, doing nearly the same thing and more, mogging the shit out of it and rendering it all worthlessFuck me I guess
>>59213992If you want to do something there is ALWAYS somebody better than you. You gotta accept this from minute 1 or you will be met with disappointment.
>>59213992Make an original region instead
>>59212244If you use the anti woke patch it's not that present in lazarus. Of course, the patch is not that extensive so it only bleaches the protagonist in the base outfit and not any others, though there are outfits with white skin like the zelda ones and the ones of protagonists from previous regions. The only woke stuff proper I've seen so far other than the pride flags in every other building (which the patch removes) and the black MC are a gay couple in the city of the second gym and that at least all four of the first 4 gym leaders are women, but then again they're referred to as muses so, maybe that's the point? Don't think there are male muses and it's a region based on greece.
>>59212803Likewise, I feel like romhacks shouldn't go out of their way to encourage players to complete the dex, there's zero point in completing the dex in a fangame or romhack, that's the kind of thing you do in the official games because you can actually keep the pokemon going forward and transfer them between games.
>>59213992Eh... it's happened to me, I both wanted to make a yellow romhack with eevee as the starter and the sevii islands and someone beat me to it. Though it's two separate romhacks
>>59213992Sweet, two cakes!
>>59211175Decimation.
>>59214020Buh-buh-but... but I'M supposed to be the biggest fish in the pond...
>>59213730UuuuuhIf you mean like DBZ Team Training, those are cool
>>59213992I'm with the other anon, just make an original region it doesn't matter if it's small, I'm so fucking tired of having to travel around Kanto and Hoenn for the 530244 time, no matter how prettier they make the roads or how fucked up the encounter tables become
>>59214679>just make an original regionOkay, how about... Schmanto? It's like Kanto, but everything is red and black, the coolest colors to exist, and everyone listens to Linkin Park and cuts their wrists, and there's blood and skulls and shit everywhere, and the Champion is me, except bigger and more muscular and wearing a trench coat and nobody laughs at him and he doesn't have acne. Original region, do not steal, especially if you're Kevin from school! Fuck you Kevin, stop showing everyone my Deviantart you piece of shit!
>>59213992You were already doomed to fail. HMA is good but it came out right when decomps came out which can do everything HMA can but better as its original source code. I swear the amount of dumb niggers who keep trying to do binary hacking when we have the games open source at this point.
>>59213992See >>59214722You've could've taken that month spent learning HMA, and you would've already been finished with your Kanto project if you took the one hour it takes to set up a decomp.
>>59210802>picPokemon?
>>59214679Honestly I hate revamped regions disportionatly the second I get a minor inconvinience. If you give Roxanne an Anorith and force me to catch a grass type instead of just tapping water gun I'll call you a cheating bastard that made a Kaizo hack.
>>59214810At least you're honest about it.
>>59214810But Anorith is weak to water.
>>59212803But most shinies look like shit
>>59212803Nigga why lock shinies behind random chance? Just sell a bucket of paint at the pokemart, make it a consumable to switch between shiny and not shiny
>>59213992Just take a fanfic with an oc region and make the romhack about that.
>>59210802Let me guess...Dark Light?
>>59215196Nope: >>59214590
>>59213863>Nor are you moving those shinies forward to a new game when the next gen releases.>>59214162>there's zero point in completing the dex in a fangame or romhack, that's the kind of thing you do in the official games because you can actually keep the pokemon going forward and transfer them between games.Personally, I gave up on transferring Pokemon up gens a long time ago. I was careless when I was younger and lost nearly every cartridge and save file I owned over the years (some may have been stolen too…), so multiple save files and teams from then are long gone. Combine that with Dexit decentralizing the National Dex after Gen 7, and HOME holding people's mons hostage in a subscription service with no backwards transferability… I just don't care anymore.To be frank, I always thought that the whole "self-contained evos" and "bloated route" aspects of enhancement hacks were some of the most fun. I never even bothered trying to complete the Pokedex until I played hacks like Drayano's, the juice just never seemed worth the squeeze… or maybe it would be more apt to say that the squeeze seemed like way too much of a hassle. Once I actually started doing it I found it hit that nice completionism itch.To date I've now completed the dexes in: -- Unbound* (cheated a bit tbf)-- Peridot-- Super Mariomon-- Fool's Gold-- TourmalineAnd I was interested in doing the same in Vega, Lazarus, and Pisces at least.-- I also have a Living Dex in Renegade Platinum, as well as living dexes of just the newly added Pokemon in Blaze Black, Eternal X, and Umbra Moon to round out the first 7 gens. Just my opinions on that, sorry to yap.I have considered recreating every team I've used since my first romhack in a sort of "museum" save file (probably in a hack like Elite Redux or RR that always has everything), and luckily I've been keeping records of each one for over a decade.They'd be shadows of themselves though, missing what each hack changed about them.
best hgss romhack? drayano shit?
>>59215617Currently doing Unbound’s Dex rn and it’s been more fun than doing it for any of the official games besides Arceus.
>>59215670Idk, ones that bring back slots instead of gay voltorb flip. Dray's is ok, I don't remember how he handles gen2+ pokemon though (hopefully safari/postgame only)
>>59210802Peak writing
Is it really just Gaia that has an original region? Nothin has like, Kalos or Alola in a GBA/GBC style?
>>59215768No? There's other romhacks with original regions, but they're kinda few and far between. If you want original regions, you're better off looking at fangames. There's one GBA decomp that remade Galar in the GBA engine.
Do you like frogs?
>>59215689Unbound dex was very fun to complete, I agree. I cheated though by hacking in and catching everything with Master Balls, skipping the whole tedious whittling, statusing, and RNG process. The game has over 800 mons fwiw, but a bit dishonest from me so I barely count it. Good luck completing it bro, if you're interested in aiming for a Black Trainer Card that will be one big step on your way there.Also agree about Arceus, that game and SV are the only official games I ever completed the dex in. Open World is just way more interesting than random encounters, and I feel the dex quest incentivizes you to explore every corner of the map. Also Arceus' catching system is just 100x more engaging than everything that preceded it.>>59215670>best hgss romhack? drayano shit?His HGSS hacks are coming up on 14 years old, but they still hold up well. I WOULD tell you to wait for his Aurora Crystal, but lmao. Check out these more contemporary projects using the developing HeartGold Engine, the same as what Aurora Crystal is using:Gold+ & Silver+ --- this one is a W.I.P/proof of concept:https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1rnr9ic/a_quick_look_at_pok%C3%A9mon_gold_silver_a_reimagining/HeartGold Generation --- this one looks like gen 4's answer to stuff made possible through CFRU and Decomps in gen 3:https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1mj4lcf/pok%C3%A9mon_heartgold_generations_v10_gen_19_decomp/

Sun and Moon in the Emerald Decomp. There was another similar project being worked on too called Ultra Eclipse, it looks promising.https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1sdqhwn/ultra_eclipse_an_alola_demake_pokeride_demake/
>>59215940>Ultra EclipseIs there an ETA for this?
>>59215933Gen4 hacking can't have "perfect IVs/EVs" yet right? It's one QoL I can't live without now.Finishing the game with the buddy you met early on your journey without replacing them is just too smooth and comfy.
>>59215803Source?
>>59215933>reddit.com
>>59215980>Is there an ETA for this?Unfortunately not, according to the dev in their previous Pokeride System showcase. Par for the course in romhacking though.https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1qsx596/ultra_eclipse_demake_of_the_pokeride_system/Also here's what the title screen looks like:https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1pusc89/ultra_eclipse_an_alola_demake_title_screens/>>59216024>Gen4 hacking can't have "perfect IVs/EVs" yet right?It probably can, but idk if anybody has implemented it yet. That HeartGold Generations post mentions Nature Mints and Ability Capsules, buy not Bottle Caps or the like.It's a bit inelegant, but you could always just pop your save file into PKHeX and tweak those values within seconds. Quick and easy on a computer, but more tedious on phones and original hardware if you're making a frequent habit of it.Might be a different story if you want to do that with one of these HG-Engine Decomps though... they tend to scramble the internal data which save editor programs aren't too fond of. IIRC there were AR codes that could max IV's and EV's, but they could *potentially* be subject to the same incompatibility issues.>>59216103Guilty as charged.
>>59216024>Gen4 hacking can't have "perfect IVs/EVs" yet right?It can but I don't know if any hacks have that feature. You could use a save editor to give your mons perfect EVs and IVs.
>>59215933>>59215940>>59216161>niggers shamelessly admit they're from reddit/vp/ will become just like /mlp/, huh...
Oni-chan....>>59214761The time of Pokemon has passedBased on the OP, it's time for poke-your-mom instead
>>59216175The Pokemon romhacking sub gets a good bit of traffic and project exposure, but I much prefer posting in here, even considering some of the others who do too....Your weird digital tribalism is holding you back, but that's not my problem. Sorry you got downvote nuked at some point.
>>59215933I definitely get being over the tedium. It’s why I find catching older Pokemon in newer games more boring as we get more games. Oh boy I get to paralyze and mindlessly chuck a ball at Gyarados again! I like Unbound because there’s a good variety of ways to encounter mons. Some better than others and it’s not all great but I appreciate the effort. Mainline has bits of this but it’s for a much smaller pool of Pokèmon. I think I will go for the TC so thank you! I enjoyed Arceus so much despite how rough around the edges it is. I lost interest in SV before finishing the main story so can’t speak on that. BTW I think you should do the Hall of Fame idea you mentioned in your previous post!
>>59215695>Dray's is ok, I don't remember how he handles gen2+ pokemon though (hopefully safari/postgame only)Pretty sure his hacks have pokemon from every generation everywhere.
>>59215933>I WOULD tell you to wait for his Aurora Crystal, but lmao.Honestly, with how long it's taking, I'm surprised nobody has tried making a 'Redux' version of SG/SS.
>>59216362It's extremely possible I misremember. I personally don't really like 1-9 hacks or whatever but I guess they are popular.
>>59216398Drayano hacks only have mons that are in the base game, but they're all available. Nothing from later gens.(Although Sylveon is coming to Aurora Crystal)I've never heard of gen 4/5 hacks that include every pokemon ever.
>>59216219>The Pokemon romhacking sub gets a good bit of traffic and project exposure>Your weird digital tribalism is holding you backYou already forgot romhacking as a hobby and you replaced it with cloud. Turning this general into a reddit thread. To add insult at injury, there are already redditors like you coming out of the woodwork. Yes I know you're one of them because>Sorry you got downvote nuked at some point.We (yes, WE, idiot) don't want you and your ilk here. Go back.
>>59212680>Yes mother, I fuck you hard!It really does.
WTF happened to Clover? Used to be the talk of the town even if people were shitting on it they were talking about it. Now it hardly gets a passing mention these days. Its so strange its legacy just fizzled out.
>>59216512It's so old now. Same thing happened to Unbound.
>>59216607Unbound actually is mentioned several times in this thread. Granted we don't talk about it a lot or constantly but it comes up as a good rom hack or one you would recommend others to play. This is the first and only time Clover has been mentioned thus far and it feels like it was really popular around 2020 and early 20s in general and then just fell off.
>>59216512Youtubers aren't inclined to suggest the racist transphobic chud game from the scary gremlins of 4channel. I don't think Clover is even on the hackdex
>>59216512wah wah wah. something made over a decade ago isn't relevant for the rest of eternity. if anything doesn't remain in the minds of everyone constantly forever (like the bible) it must've been a failure. the west has fallen.
>>59216612it was made by chuds
>>59216612Clover, by design, will never have the same kind of reach as something like Unbound.
Any doubles focused hack or hacks with perma double mode as an option? Already played odyssey and rowe before
>>59215071Are there even any romhacks or fangames that did this?
>>59216652it'd be easy to make vanilla emerald with forced doubles.
>>59216512Redditors and tourists in this thread are intimidated by its girth as you can tell.
>>59216512They all moved to reddit and discord.
What are the best Fakemon rom hacks or fangames?I really liked Pisces, Elite Redux, and Infinity.
>>59216705Can't be that as it gets banned on r/romhacks and r/pokemon and is contained to its own sub over there>>59216690And can't be that either as its been a long time since its been mentioned.>>59216619You're also barking up the wrong tree as I am not even fond of Clover and part of me is glad its dead. Its more interesting it just dropped off the face of the Earth when trying to brag its moving to decomp.>>59216642>>59216621>>59216618Though this might be the biggest explanation of what happened.
>>59216707i like that design
>>59216161>alola demake with RSE graphicsImmediately more interested than in Alola seaglass
>>59215768I'm unironically tempted to make a Kalos demake with Paldea as the postgame
>>59216750If you're into the Alola tropical vibe there's a gbc hack called Pokemon Orange that's pretty fun. Pokemon are mainly Kanto, Alola and the seagull from gen 3
>>59216755Might check it out once I'm done with lazarus
>>59216034https://www.rebornevo.com/deso/desodev/records/optimisations-immersion-and-frogs-r23/
Is there a romhack or fangame with piss hard sliding puzzles?

>>59217460
Any ROMhack equivalent of Pokemon Auto Chess? Game is super fun I just wish there was an offline variant I could play on my DS or anything mobile really.
I was making good progress on my fakemon hack a year or two ago, got busy and didn't want to fuck with tilesets for mapsIs it any easier now in the decomp? I recall it being a pain in the ass since 1. I have no artistic experience/skills2. Can't easily pick the tile I want from all tiles at once; can only load 2 at a time, right?3. Need to keep some level of visual coherence per area
Bear with me here.hg-engine needs an English Heart Gold rom right? EU vs US makes no difference?
>>592179701. You still need that, unless you're willing to pay someone to do it for you, or just use the ones that people throw online2. What are you talking about? Click and drag.3. That's a you problem
>>592179741. Fair enough; I know there are a lot online I should just try and steal2. Maybe my memory is bad, but I thought you could only load two tilesets at a time per area
>>592179752. Oh, you mean primary and secondary tilesets? Then yeah, that's still the same. At least it should be, there was a new version of Porytiles that came out since the last time I messed around with decomps but I haven't checked it out yet.
>>59217980I feel like I don't remember porytiles at all, but it's probably a big help with regards to what I want to doThanks though, I'll see what can be done with it
Would you guys be ok with Hidden Power being Dark supposing all pokemon get 31 IVs in HGSS?Most impactful change I see is that Uknown become a bit less flavorful.For the rare pokemon that uses Hidden Power effectively in Gen4 I could always throw a similar move in the learnset.
>>59210802I heard a lot of good things about Quetzal as of recently, is it really that good?
Playing pokemon fire red omega. Drayano original content is a dungeon with a lot of dead ends,shitty memes and legendaries randomly sprinkled around.When you can't even design a dungeon that is better than gen 1 stuff. What a hack.
I wish there was a mewgenics style pokemon game, official game or hack doesn't matter
>>59217973Uh, Google's ai answer slop says "Pokémon HeartGold Version (USA, Rev 1)". I would've defaulted the the USA too.>>59218359I think that would be a fine change. If anyone really cared they could change the mon themselves.
>>59218359Why not just remove IVs from the stat formula?
>>59218692What exactly do you mean? Like the stats affecting the in-battle calculations? Not experienced enough to do that but if I could I would. What I can do is generate pokemon with perfect IVs and hope edge cases like Red Gyarados are not generated differently.
>>59218641US was fine. In fact I think it can also handle slightly modded roms as well.It's a pretty nice tool ngl.
>>59218692Since he's editing HGSS, that will be way more difficult to achieve. It would require actual engine changes to ignore IVs.
For those here who have worked on or are working on a romhack, how difficult is it to make entirely new stuff like a new region or new pokemon/sprites?
>>59218748None of that is really difficult, it's just time-consuming. It depends on what your skill level and experience is. Have you already done pixel art? Are you familiar with designing singleplayer spaces?
>>59218748Tweak existing code < create assets < alter core game logicThe difficulty of the second one heavily relies on the tools available but it's definitely a bit involved.
>>59218760I'm experienced with neither, honestly. I could just try and see for myself how things turn out, but my vision might be way too ambitious for how inexperienced I am. Especially if I have to work on a bunch of gen 2 sprites for anything past gen 3.
>>59218777Then work on something smaller to build up the skills needed to take on a bigger project.
>>59216619Calm down tranny.
>>59218748They'll say it's easy but making a good late game dungeon is HARD. Be thankful your competition is gamefreak
