>rom hack crams all 1000+ mons in causing massive route bloat, lack of route identity, and bad distribution>"capture all 20 mons on this route to receive rewards" + "capture 300 of mons in total to receive rewards"
>>59407362Name 5 that do this
>>59407365I'm talking about Lazarus in particular
>>59407370Lazarus doesn’t have all 1K or even half of that so you’re full of shit lol
>>59407365Radical Red and its consequences have been a disaster for the rom hacking scene.
>>59407374Be the change you want to see
>>59407371It does the capture all mons in this route shit though
If I ever made a ROM hack it would be:- HGSS- modern QoL (no forced EXP Share)- less hostility towards the Chikorita line- reasonable difficulty changes (nothing retarded like Lance having three Rayquaza)- reasonable buffs to weaker Pokemon- Pokemon from gen 5 and after that I like.
>>59407374I put the blame on Drano. He popularized the idea of "it's the same region, but with more."
>>59407378You started the posting whining about bloating the routes with 1,000 despite this game having less mons than some offical titles though
>>59407386“Drano” and his games have been the baseline for an acceptable difficulty hack for years. None of his hacks are hard unless you’re a shitter who doesn’t know what you signed up for lol. RadRed is where this “QoL difficulty hack” stuff started whether you like it or not.
>>59407387Yeah true I retract the first one
>>59407362People who want all Pokémon, all moves, all regions in one game are beyond retarded and know absolutely nothing about gamedesign. It's the main reason why I don't respect dexit fags, not one bit.
>>59407394Difficulty hacks are the problem. Make a new region or don't bother.
>>59407362I like it desu.
>>59407397What's with anons on this board always bringing up "game design" like they've ever made anything?
>>59407602You don't have to be a film director either to know a shitty movie is shitty.
>>59407602I've made a few things.
>>59407613The point is that anons bringing up game design don't know shit, are too stupid to explain what they actually think, and hide behind excuses like yours.
>>59407661Post your portfolio then or else you're as much in the dark about what "game design" means as them
>>59407676I am just as much in the dark as them, that's why I haven't weighed in on what the design is or isn't supposed to be. Try being less of an illiterate retard.
>>59407602I literally made several small games for gamejams and read 5 books about game design. I would post my itch.io page but I'm not gonna doxx myself, thanks.Game design isn't even that complex, you can literally read tons of free articles or watch videos on the subject. It's not difficult to learn and understand.
>>59407602You mean you have never made anything, which is why you think this shit is good.
>>59407397>People who want all Pokémon, all moves, all regions in one game are beyond retarded and know absolutely nothing about gamedesignbut I want itthere's no bad design, just make you move to other regions lol
>>59407374I like Radical Red>no grinding>no IVs>instant capture>set EVs>set moves>set max difficulty trainer battlesit's like playing Pokemon online but in a rom
>>59407795Same here. That's my dream game and I'd rather have that then the billionth unoriginal hardmode nuzlocke hack with a sliver of Pokémon available>>59407362What game does that specifically? Every time I see you people whine about these types of romhacks you never name them. Atp they're just some boogieman you made up that lives rent-free in your heads. I want that type of game you people hate so much because it's the only proper way to play the Pokémon games
>>59407740>no uYou live south of the equator
>>59407362>>rom hack crams all 1000+ mons in causing massive route bloat, lack of route identity, and bad distributionrealistically how would you solve this problem while still leaving all mons in as options? pokeradar/dexnav/swarm/other hidden encounter types? feel like you'd have to just make a 16 gym region at that point or something
>>59408435Multiple areas throughout the map that act like Safari Zones or Bug-Catching Contests. Availability could be expanded through sidequests or simply finding more Safari Zones.Or visiting randomized themed islands.
>>59408426That's probably the most clever insult you've ever said.
>>59407362>rom hack crams all 1000+ monsthis is a good thing because I'm playing a fucking ROM HACK.if I want the Authentic Johto experience™ I'll play GSC or HGSS. If I want to feel a strong Unova identity™, I'll play BW/2.Rom hacks will NEVER have the budget, ambition and resources to match an official title in terms of identity, freshness and cohesion. Most of them are made by 1-3 unpaid Mexicans using slightly modified GBA tilesets that have existed for 25 years now, purely for the love of the game and maybe some fleeting Discord clout.What I can get in a Rom hack, and not in a Game Freak game, is proper difficulty, balance adjustments and a metric fuckton more options out the gate so I can go wild. That's why it's a fucking rom hack!!!! The goals of development are completely different!Do you guys also install Skyrim mods and then complain there's too weapon mods and then complain there's too much item bloat? Do you open Pokemon Showdown and complain all the options to freely adjust stats are overwhelming and take away from the "catch and train 'em" feeling?Everyone who plays a rom hack and complains about shit like route identity needs to kill themselves immediately
