I am approaching my limit. I have been adding as many trainers as possible so long as I have both over world and battle sprites for them. I'm not sure how many are left at this point, but I'm estimating that I might not even get to 20 more trainers.

After the next update in September (maybe), it's going to be time for me to finally seek out help. The main thing I'll need is sprite artists to make trainers I don't have. I'm willing to give them direction, but if I'm being honest, I feel like the best results will come from me just letting them run wild and make whatever they feel like. Sure XD sprites would be really nice (I'd kill for sprites of Robo Groudon Chobin), but if someone just wants to make Conquest sprites, I won't turn them down. However, a coder who can make a functioning Multi-battle tower would be a gift from god for me.

All I can do is hope that I've put in enough work to prove that I'm not just a "idea guy" or something. I don't want to come across as someone who is begging other people to make my game for me. Also, I honestly don't know the best way to attract people or convince them this is worth their time.

Well I feel really stupid

>>59494280
It's not out of nowhere, it's a common addition to difficultyslop.

>>59494304
The original Nuzlocke concept has nothing to do with IVs. Quit your historical revisionism.
Encountered pokemon are already sufficiently random without stats being made random as well
Also there's already a thing for stat randomization; it's called natures

>>59494504
even a broken clock can be right twice a day
and outside of difficultyslop the margins for error are so wide that IVs won't matter enough for their randomness to impact gameplay, making them pointless so you might as well just get rid of random IVs at that point for convenience

>>59494569
Natures barely affect stats at all.

>>59494573
>IVs won't matter enough for their randomness to impact gameplay
That just proves everyone who removed them is a total retard who goes out of their way to do all the work of removing them when it's all for nothing.

>>59494573
>it doesn't matter so you should just remove it anyway
Nah.

>>59494268
Create a custom script that calls pbPokemonMart and put all of the stones inside it. Name it pbStoneMart or something and call it in the event.

>>59494268
I feel like there should just be one mega-stone item that you can have multiple of, and then the game should track which pokemon you can mega-evolve based on which mega stones you would have acquired in your playthrough. So like if you get Banettite for example, instead of actually getting "Banettite" the game would instead flag Banette as a mega-evolvable pokemon for the player. This would make management of mega stones way less annoying from a player perspective. I don't know how hard that is to code though.

>>59494647
That would probably be the best way of going about it. One generic mega stone that every mega evolution-capable Pokemon is using. Then individual Y and Z stones for those that have alternate evolutions.

>>59494647
not him but I feel like that might cause some issues with say, mega evolving a pokemon with an item
even if you disabled mega evolving pokemon with held items, since mega evolutions aren't automatic, there's the issue of moves that interact with items/the absence of such, such as
>trick/switcheroo (don't work if the user or target have an item that's not removable)
>knock off (does more damage to mons with removable items)
>acrobatics (does more damage if the user doesn't have a held item)
among others
I feel like a better alternative would be making mega stones work like z-crystals; if you have one you can place it on any pokemon you have and unequipping it returns it to your infinite stash of them. This way players won't have to juggle mega stones between different mons of the same species (such as if you have different mons running different moves/EV spreads) or worry about accidentally discarding their mega stones for some reason
>>59494658
I also think this is a good idea to cut down on inventory clutter

>>59494569
You are retarded. IVs have everything to do with them, because whatever you catch is truly random. You can have a good pokemon with bad IVs for the stat that matters, and you still have to work with it.

What are the best hack roms that don't have fakemons nor change the pokemon base stats, types, etc.?

>>59494660
I'm confused, your z-crystal idea is basically what I was saying. Have one generic mega stone item instead of 500 separate mega stones, but it's still a held item, so you couldn't mega evolve a pokemon with a held item that isn't a mega stone. Then trick/knock/etc. should function the same way with a generic mega stone. These moves are already coded with exceptions for existing mega stones so I assume you could just replace those lists with the generic mega stone
I don't know what the code structure is like for this, though, maybe it's more complicated that what I'm describing. From a functionality standpoint, though, I don't really see why a generic stone wouldn't be better than sifting through long menus of dozens of stones to find the specific one for a pokemon - they are both held items, so presumably you could code them to function the same way in battle.
>>59494658
Yeah for individual formes you'd probably still need those Y/Z stones, although I wonder if there's way to make items configurable so you could set this generic stone to be Y or Z for a particular mon. But this is probably too much work from a programming standpoint compared to the handful of alt stones to manage.

>>59494674

>>59494647
Honestly considering it. Kinda dumb that isn't a thing officially.

But that would only save me in the mega shop. I still have to deal with hold items. Even dividing them up into things like "one time use" and "type boosts" it's still too much for one shop.

name another rpg with a mechanic like IVs. I play a fair amount of jrpgs and can't think of anything similar off the top of my head. even other monster collecting rpgs like SMT tend to have standardized stats for the most part.

that said I don't really care one way or the other about IVs. I think they're implemented and not really necessary when there are already multiple other ways that Pokemon are personalized and I think there would have been better ways to further differentiate Pokemon. but, they also aren't really that impactful unless you're playing competitive or difficulty hacks, so meh. honestly, it's a mechanic that probably works best when you aren't even aware of it so you don't think about it. but at that point, should it even be a thing at all? idk. who cares

He legitimately has stolen designs before or at the very least been "heavily inspired". There's been proof posted in here before and he's even admitted to it. The thing is nothing sticks to him because after enough time passes he'll just deny it to the newbies and nobody (including me) can bother spending time going back through the archives to find the old posts where he's been caught out. And nor should they, he isn't worth the time. It's not like he would face any consequences anyway. As nice as it would be to see him get some comeuppance it's just not going to happen, so it's not worth pursuing.

So you, uh I mean "he" can just wait and eventually new people come in who weren't around before and you can deny having stolen anything and nobody can really prove you otherwise because it would mean hours of digging through the archive just for a little gotcha that will promptly be forgotten again. People can believe it or not. It doesn't really matter.

I'll also keep the Red and Blue Orbs as their own thing since they technically aren't megas. I'll also have to keep the pre-ZA stones in the game and just make it so that they do nothing or else anyone who has them (every single person since you get 99 of each before you even put in your name) will have their game crash when they open their bags. The hardest part will be deciding on the sprites for these 4 stones, but I'll worry about that later.

Thanks for the help guys.

>>59489584
Those games use 8-bit indexes for Pokemon so you need to make a bunch of changes to the code to allow them to handle more than around 255 mons. For an example see https://github.com/aaaaaa123456789/pokecrystal16/wiki. After that there's the limitations on ROM size which are stricter than with gen 3.

I don't care about providing examples. I don't care if anybody believes That David stole designs or not. It doesn't matter. I was just trying to explain to that guy why people keep accusing him of stealing but don't provide proof. I know he stole designs because I was there when it was posted, David knows he stole designs. If you really want the proof yourself, you can go spend 4 hours searching old David posts in the archive. I didn't bother to save them back then because I didn't think I'd have to prove myself to newfaggots.

Never played a romhack in my life so I'm going balls deep. Any more suggestions?

>>59496957
Do you only want gen 3 games?

>>59496963
It's the aesthetic I always prefer, but I'm open to suggestions.

>>59496957
Pick one of the touched up versions of Vega and if you're cool with your mons being cute girls grab the Touhou Puppet Play Enchanced Romhacks.

>>59496957
Remove Seaglass and Lazarus, add Altair/Sirius or Vega, preferably one of the QoL patches like Vega minus instead of regular Vega

word on clover 2.0

>>59497012
yeah, "cringe"

>>59496957
Out of everything here, Sea Glass or unbound would be a good starting point.

Personally, I normally say Saiph is a good way to start. Not because it's good, but because it will make you more accustomed to a lot of the bullshit some hacks will put you through, but not to enough of a level for it to be shit. Kinda like prepping your mind for things like Snakewood.

>>59496713
Still working on it. After the heat the gen1recomp got I realized no one was going to really care about my port. Regardless, I'm turning it into a game maker type thing, so I should probably keep that closed source and only publicly release the pokemon port projects for it. The last public release I did was 2.7, a lot of features total and it's not worth going into detail here.
I'm on 2.8 now and it's mostly refactoring and extending the engine to be even more moddable/expressive. For example, it's trivial to create not just new moves, but new move effects. And this extends to abilities too. There's weather now (battles and overworld), and you can transform a pokemon midfight now too (megas, custom forms, and even evolve).
2.9 will be the last major feature, working on getting proper doubles, triples and rotation battles, all within even the gen 1 games.
3.0 will be a complete (perfect sans glitches) pokemon crystal. After that I will do gen 3, and then gen 4, now that I have a certain resource.

>>59497074
That does sound really ambitious, hopefully you deliver, godspeed anon

Play unique regions with their own stories, lore and characters. I would even say go for fangames over romhacks because of how much they can deviate from the old formula, and avoid everything that just rehashes the games.
As a story enjoyer, I don't understand the popularity of romhacks that just "update" the games with visuals, difficulty, quality of life, and new mechanics. They're all fine but offer nothing new to ponder on. I've been playing Pokemon for over 25 years and never craved "what if Kanto but with gen9, ultra beasts and megas". A really 'bad' game like Snakewood or an ARG like FRLG.IPS, for example, is much more interesting than any of that.

GameMaker's tile set editor is very easy to use if you just want something visual.

>>59498010
Right looks plain and boring. Left looks more interesting but I don't think it's good either. The tiles placed off-grid look weird, as do the shadowless trees and the player being able to walk through a bush at 0:08. As for the colors, I like the grass but the cliffs and trees look too dark to me.

2v2 in the aspect ration and pixel size of Gen 1/2 feels like a losing battle desu, other than making the sprites smaller I dont see a way to make it work

>>59499822
I'm settling on what I have. I don't want to make the sprites smaller unless I really have to (like with triples), and the UI elements are already as compact as I can make it without creating a smaller font for the names. That would give me the needed horizontal space but it would be a custom asset that I'm against using (for this specific project). The engine allows for widescreen and complete UI overhauls but it wouldn't feel like a "what if" version of gen 1.

>still ends up being stronger than any other pokemon you come across

>>59499970
yeah i'm sure a mon with 40/30/70 defenses, a meh special attack stat (after being cursed with both 0 SpA IVs and its worst possible nature), generally niche abilities, STAB on only one type, and slightly above average speed is clearly going to be stronger than any other pokemon in the game
well at least it'll be strong before it gets one shot and sent to the graveyard box
>muh alakazam
in virtually any romhack that implements singleplayer trade evolutions it's also extremely likely that there'll be a feature to fix randomly bricked mons' IVs/natures as well

If the likes pchal treat all Pokemon games as gauntlet runs, why do they even bother with romhacks? Why can't these people play a set of Pokemon Showdown matches instead?

Taking on crystal clear as a side project to further show the capabilities of the engine. No promises, but lets see how well the static recomp does transitioning to godot compared to gb assembly.

>>59500358
Yeah this seems like a worthwhile thing to do. Working on vanilla crystal first, then a crystal clear port.

>>59500358
I'm surprised nobody has recreated Crystal Clear, but with source actually available.

>>59500405
it's all time consuming, even with AI (to do it properly, anyway). you don't get paid for this, so it really has to be a passion. I don't like shockslayer but love 99% of crystal clear so the motivation is there. I imagine that anyone that could do it before just doesn't care enough.

>>59500413
There isn't THAT much he did differently. The most difficult part would be copying followers and maybe the starter selection menu.

>>59500419
The challenge is that there's a massive amount of changes you'd have to make. Just look at https://github.com/ShockSlayer/ccdocs/blob/master/docs/Documentation.md
Even if you don't find most of the individual changes to be difficult, it would still take countless hours of work to replicate all of them.

>>59500304
Why would they when there are hacks literally made for them lmao

>>59500413
what did you not like? the npc sprite changes and elite four characters? i think these are the only real mistakes for an "open world crystal". the new elite four could have been cool content for later. making npcs black was quite frankly idiotic.

exactly that. I would have preferred he make two versions, one more faithful to Game Freak's vision and one with his autism.

Hey y’all, this is Nemo, the developer behind Pokémon Emerald Seaglass and the recently-released Pokémon Lazarus.

First of all, I’d like to extend a massive thank-you to everyone who has been supportive of this project. I’ve never even tried something remotely close to the scope of Lazarus, with a whole new story, completely new region, musi, and so much more.

Now on to the real point of this post. There will always, always be a place for constructive feedback - a lot of it has been super helpful for me already, and I really appreciate learning ways I can improve! However, there has been a huge wave (mostly on Twitter, of course) of negativity that I can’t say I was prepared to deal with. I’ve had to see comments and posts saying “Are we all deaf? What the fuck is this shit” about the music, saying that this game “disgusts” them, and even people saying they want to make a “anti-gay patch” for the game.

Again, Lazarus included a lot of new things for me. That includes music, and I know a lot of the tracks are far from perfect. But at the end of the day, I’ve been making this project for over a year in my very limited free time, all because I wanted people to have a cool new region to explore. And to those being homophobic and hateful, I truly have to say that you have no place in this community. Queer people have always existed and we will continue to exist, with or without your permission.

With that said, I’ll be taking a step back from the community for a bit. I’ll post bug-fixing and new feature patches to the Development Discord server, but I don’t plan on posting anywhere else for a while. If I go on to develop a new project (which I do have planned!), it will likely be in secret until close to release, if I choose to release it at all. With everything going on in my life (Master’s program, work, real world commitments, etc etc), I guess I’m just not prepared to also handle the bad side of attention on the internet.
