The development of the 2nd demo is still in progress. Here's what I have planned for it:
- Will be 6-7 Gyms long (Depending on which one I pick, the demo ends either after defeating the 6th Gym or after defeating Mr. X, the leader of Team X)
- The 49 remaining Fakemon (included forms) will be available
- Almost every area (except Mt. Zephyr) will be accessible
- The 3 Mysterious Pokémon will be available for the player to catch

In the meantime, try out the final revision of the 1st demo: https://app.mediafire.com/folder/bt67u1o8gj5tx

Never understood this distinction because Pokemon does this like every two years. Every new region has 100 new Pokemon that stick out like a sore thumb compared to the guys from 20 years ago, why is it only bad when fans do it?

>>59235361
Pretty sure gamefreak does not add fakemon every two years anon. Now you are correct that new pokemon often look worse than fakemon, but that's not the issue here. Ultimately it's personal preference, I won't argue it's objectively bad or anything. It's just that seeing *official regional bird* in a hack full of fakemon leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

>>59235380
>Pretty sure gamefreak does not add fakemon every two years anon.
Strange, detractors to the official games love calling anything past [insert favorite generation here] a "digimon" or "not even a real pokemon".

>>59213992
Are these your maps or theirs? Either way they look really cool. Every other time I've seen someone try and revamp a Kanto map it looks like total dogshit lol.

>>59235380
I dunno it's just the same shit to me. If I'm playing a mon game and the roster lacks cohesion it doesn't really matter to me if the game is official or not. Not like I play the official games anymore anyways.

>>59235382
>>59235390
There is a group of people that like to keep things separate. A hack mixing in pokemon with fakemon, touhou characters and hatsune miku isn't for everyone.

is there a good way to have abnormally high pokemon in an early-mid area without having progression fucked? or is it just an issue of leaning on the "you need X badge to use Y level pokemon" mechanic and letting people take advantage of it if they're stubborn/lucky enough?

>>59235405
Elaborate on your goal.

>>59235394
to be honest i like hacks that mix pokemon and fakemon because it's more like playing a new generation of pokemon. a lot of hacks want to be black and white but idk when black and white came out i was pretty sad that there were no new evolutions of old pokemon. mixing real mons and fakemon also gives people the chance to play through the game with pokemon they like even if they only like a few of the fakemon.

like ignoring the quality of solar light and lunar dark or uranium because they both kinda suck, but if they didn't suck i'd much rather play uranium. there's only a few uranium mons i like and i could substitute real mons for the rest of my team and still get to experience of while solar light lunar dark only has a weak dex going for it. same way i nostly use old guys in the newer gens.

and if a game does have cool fakemon i still think having some old favorites to use is just a win all around. plus im just a big fan of the idea of new evolutions for old pokemon (even if game freak is really good at fucking it up) really i come to romhacks for the experience of "a new pokemon game that doesnt suck" and yeahh there's not too many that deliver on that, and even less that actually have new pokemon like a new generation.

>>59235405
If you want to have overleveled mons to challenge the player without letting them overlevel themselves, you could program it to suppress experience gain from pokemon over a certain level. i've definitely seen hacks that turn off exp for certain battles before but im not a programmer so i guess youd have to figure that out yourself

>>59234821
Well yeah, Quartz is a romhack from 2006 they weren't doing much back then. It was actually pretty impressive for its time with all the map editing and original spritework and full fakemon dex it did do, even if the spritework is bad and the fakemon are goofy and the structure is still just Hoenn.

It certainly hasn't aged well but it's charming, it's nice to see a pseudo remake of it.

>>59235434
My favorite generation is Johto so it's not like I want everything to have a BW approach to a pokedex. That said, it's just a simple matter of keeping things separate for me. If I'm playing a fakemon hack i'm playing it for the fakemon 99% of the time. If I want to play something that feels like a new pokemon game I just play something with official mons. GF's laziness seems to have rubbed off on everyone nowadays anyway since fake regional forms have been everywhere.

the way people treat regional forms is so weird because istg i see people who swear they'd never ever ever play a fakemon game but they eat slop up if it has regional forms. like they really want to use new and different pokemon that arent from the official games BUT NOT TOO DIFFERENT!

>>59233260
I feel like Beldum's bullshit catch rate is a good tradeoff for it being available early, since Metagross is such a strong pokemon.

>>59235473
I get it that it can be some sort of middle ground for them. Probably because the standards set by GF are at the bottom. I personally still consider them even worse than fakemons. I still don't like mixing them in with fakemon lol. Anyway, people should make whatever they want to play. Personal tastes are gonna differ.

>>59235465
actually wait is this david? i rescind calling you a faggot if its david

Metagross is strong but that early Beldum you spent all your money catching won't turn into one for a while.

>>59234695
Huh
You know, I never noticed the bit of land running from slateport to Mt Pyre/Lilycove. I always assumed the body of water under cycling road was just the ocean.
Is that how the shape is normally or did they alter it?

>>59235405
Depends on what you want.
As far as exp gain goes, you can just give them a custom pokemon with way less exp gain. It looks like a Garchomp, quacks like a Garchomp, but this is actually a custom pokemon that isn't in the regular pokedex, named Garchomp, with a base exp yield of 12. Or just don't worry about it, 3 extra levels on something probably isn't the end of the world for balancing.
Badge gated caps also deal with it.

As far as the pokemon actually being capturable goes, moveset is probably the easiest control. Moves are arguably more important that level and stats early on. A level 20 with shitty moves sucks dick, and you can absolutely give it moves that are threatening as an overlevelled enemy, but bad for the player, like Slam, Dragon Rush, ect. Or really bad coverage, that the player can't deal with due to what's actually available, and then the next badge is something it struggles with.
None of these have to be permanent albatross around the pokemon's neck, either, give it good moves later.

>>59235497
Beldum is a weird one, because Metang is relatively early, and Metang is genuinely great. Easily the best second stage pseudo.
Most pseudo second stages are utter dogshit, which is what their actual problem is. Dragonair and Pupitar are just ass.
Metang is great, comes relatively early, and Metagross itself comes a bit earlier than the others, too. Garchomp has the same thing going for it.

I do think the 3 catch rate on beldum is excessive though. It being low is one thing, but 3 is genuinely just frustrating.

Just put beldum in the casino like dratini in gen 1. If they want it that bad, let them gamble.

>>59235570
It's not just 3, it's 3 on a mon that can kill itself.

>>59235434
>a lot of hacks want to be black and white
I wish. The only pure fakemon hack that isn't total memeshit is Qdex.

My hack is hoenn with 2 new routes and thats it

Good. When you're making hacks you want to play instead of trying to satisfy others then you can't go wrong.

>>59235976
Tell me about those new routes

>>59235411
>>59235554
the idea is to have an optional death zone in the early-mid game that has worthwhile stuff in it when you return later, so the mons do 100% need to be catchable. I've settled on level 55-60 pokemon because that's around the level I want for the elite 4 anyway. my biggest concern is using the area to powerlevel pokemon with type advantage.

No recent hack/fangame asks that question. Nor do official games, for that matter. Chuds lost.

I'm actually enjoying Quartz Minus a lot more than I expected. It has that common issue of a steep level curve but getting to explore a new region (it's vaguely like Hoenn but every map is different) and seeing weird characters is keeping me hooked. I'm just past not-Fallarbor Town

>>59235722
Well want to be doesn't mean succeed. Although I guess hacks might have not been the right word, it's usually rpgmaker fangames that want to do the full fakemon dex thing.

>>59236485
honestly even outside of woke gender politics the "are you a boy or a girl" question has always been memed to death for being stupid, there's like a million comics making fun of oak for not being able to tell if you're a boy or a girl just by looking at you. it's no real wonder that people would want to change it

was playing nameless firered project the other day, and I like how it has gen 1-6 pokemon, but only 4-5 species per route and instead distributes pokemon in different ways (hidden grottoes, honey trees, swarms etc.). all these hacks with a bunch of new pokemon typically spam 10 pokemon per route and make you use dexnav. my question is are there any similar base enhancement hacks (firered/emerald) that distribute pokemon properly while still having a bunch of newer ones like rotom?
thanks in advance

>>59237490
sorry for the double post. the reason I ask instead of just playing nameless firered project is because it is unbelievably buggy. helping hand freezes the game, charge and hidden power are broken (hidden power has 33 power and charge has 217 power), and too many events are locked behind the real time clock (e.g. trainers in cerulean cave can only be battled once per day to get the best tms, swarms are one per day, specific events like leveling up in a certain area for sliggoo as an example are time-dependent)

>>59237275
Huh, I don't remember getting rid of that line. I was going to put out another fix today, so good catch.

>>59237275

Here's a fixed version. It saves me from doing a full formal release in case anything else is broken.

>>59236179
You could have a really high level static encounter blocking a path that the player will need to come back to to deal with. Give it a custom battle type so the player can always flee if it's stumbled upon.

>a really high level static encounter blocking a path
Odyssey shown me that breaking those is surprisingly easy despite in that hack devs ensures no endeavor+sturdy combo (etrian aron line has sturdy too but cannot learn the move) and focus sash doesn't exist there. All you need is a mon that can survive a hit and able to land any %hp DOT then just keep throwing bodies at the boss
I think only high leveled trainer works as proper wall

>>59237918
True. You'd need to disallow or introduce a handful of mechanics for a solo wild mon to be truly threatening.

>>59237490
Route spam is a dev issue
I find even including gens 1+2 in hoenn it can be hard to fully fill out every area with unique mons, and tying pokemon to rock smash and tree cutting easily takes a massive chunk of pokemon out of the grass pool.

>>59237943
The Great Marsh sucked, but I'd like to see more areas like that, the Safari Zone, and National Park show up in games that aim to cram in a lot of Pokemon. You could have multiple small areas like that strewn about the region. Take an idea like Bill's Secret Garden and just let the player peruse the breedjects of a collector or something.

>>59237918
>>59237924
the better alternative is to just not have the boundary break be rewarded.

Any emerald/frlg hack with the same Polished Crystal experience?

>>59239619
start with gaia, as it feels closest to a legitimate pokemon game with gen 6 mechanics, hidden grottoes etc.
unfortunately no postgame yet but it is one of the best hacks of all time, dated as it is now (no cfru/pokeemerald expansion yet, which is what v4.0 will have if it is ever released)
I haven't played prism or bw3: genesis but I have heard nothing but good things and the dev of peridot regularly posts here and it seems a well-constructed game, although I prefer gba hacks to gbc
of the rest, many are dated, the newer ones being odyssey and dreamstone mysteries
kanlara ultimate is a personal favourite of mine but again, no cfru
it depends what you are after, are you after updated mechanics? which gens of pokemon, what kind of story? standard 8 gym evil team or open world or something different like odyssey?
