Magnet Bomb on the Fire/Steel leadoff poke in the first gym is *chefs kiss*, needed to double check that it was an actual move because I barely remembered it existed.
Can't even knock down its accuracy and cross your fingers tossing in one of the 10 different Grass or Bug types that compose 90% of the first routes.
I'm not saying this is a ball crushingly difficult wall but designing your first gym to counter pretty much everything you yourself placed down early is a certified lol lmao moment.

Outside of an IGT and a starter you only have Poliwag. Everything else available gets smashed to pieces or does no damage. Fire/Steel to start off the game? You're clearly a dev or affiliated with the team, what was the design process? "Heehee this ought to be funny"? This isn't even considering the Numel literally just there to one shot the Fire starter if you were stupid enough to pick it. One of us in this conversation was, evidently.

you just suck ass. I picked Crackliss and had no issue. Pokemon isn't a game about having one team member, this is such a retarded hill to die on. even if you don't want to use the two easy solutions the game hands to you to be a contrarian, you can just debuff the bomb mon and win that way. it's like bitching about feeling punished for picking Charmander in gen 1 and refusing to use the two solutions the game gives you.

>This isn't even considering the Numel literally just there to one shot the Fire starter if you were stupid enough to pick it
switch, retard

>>59695385
I have a sneaking suspicion they didn't want fags to see the dex before playing the game because of how fucking terrible a lot of the fakemon look.
It genuinely feels like they copied Clover's homework without understanding the fact Clover's dex was meant to be shitposts and callbacks to old 4chan culture.
I also genuinely hate how the very limited number of actual Pokemon in the game are mostly gen 5, you can tell the Monomyth devs are DS zoomers.
For fuck's sake man, you have luchadores in game and a mexican town and you didn't even think of putting Hawlucha in the game?

>>59695456
>Pokemon isn't a game about having one team member
>switch, retard
To fucking what? My entire team is Bug/Grass/Normal and the fucking shrimp because the designers have brain worms.
I need to go hunt down a Minccino or catch a Poliwag to even challenge the gym properly, that's the type of shit garbage difficulty hacks do.
>it's like bitching about feeling punished for picking Charmander in gen 1
Yeah numbnuts, there's a reason Gamefreak never designed a gym like that again.
>Look at all these creative monsters you can catch and train, make a team of the ones you like!
>Actually not in this case, find the one poke available that can handle the boss or hit the bricks
Everyone hated that shit.

So what's Monomyth trying to be? A slightly more difficult adventure in a new region or rock-paper-scissors where rock is a 10% encounter in a field of paper? It's not the perceived difficulty of the encounter that I have an issue with, it's the whole design that funnels you into getting fucked. The devs clearly understood this was an issue if they placed a free counter to the gym right outside. That's not being considerate, that's realizing you fucked up and trying to smooth it over without anyone lingering long enough to think about it.

>>59695430
which in turn inspired the jackalope. Apparently this is also Nidoran's inspiration.

>>59695476
>there's a reason Gamefreak never designed a gym like that again.
You could effortlessly sweep Brock just by spamming Ember, sure you did NVE damage but it was still decent damage because Geodude and Onix have ASS for Special.
FRLG's where they fucked this up by giving the bastards Rock Tomb, which meant they'd brutalize a Charmander or even Charmeleon, and since it basically guarantee oneshots Butterfree, the other classic measure, you're pigeonholed into overleveling or having Mankey as your SOLE real solution aside from stalling while waiting for standard poison to kill em off, which is truly retarded.

>>59695485
>WAHHHHHHHH I CAN'T SOLO THE GAME WITH CHARMANDER
zardfags are mentally ill

>>59695465
Yeah it looks like shit which is why I avoid fakemons/fanfictionmons

>>59695494
Honestly want to try other unique region hacks (with no fakemons) but don't even know which are good. I only played prism which was alright but I was retarded and ran a full team for it and was quite a few levels under for each gym leader fight/E4. Enjoyed how it looked and the story though, shame the postgame quest will probably never be finished.

is there a reason they dropped the double super effective damage to 2.5?

Not what I said. And you can, actually, it's incredibly easy to do so. Just remember to teach your Charmeleon Mega Kick and use it to bruteforce Starmie.

>>59695476
Varying difficulty based on starter choices is not a flaw. All you're doing is making excuses to bitch about not wanting to use the tools the game gives you while sucking ass at strategy too much to overcome a non-challenge. People like you are the reason GF makes every trainer underleveled with incomplete move sets

tell codex to make documentation for the romhack

>>59695532
no way that works

Need some opinions. I think I shared this in a prior thread.

In my game, I have a gag area where the tilesets use are Gen 1 (in contrast to the rest of the game that's meant to look Gen 4 or 5-ish), and all obtainable Pokemon here are in special forms that use their Gen 1 sprites (and typings for mons like Magnemite & Clefairy). You can even catch an Indian Elephant here and meet an NPC from the very real region of China who battles you with an Arcanine and Parasect.

Now that I'm done with expositions, I want to ask - should I include Missingno as an encounterable mon here? On one hand, it makes thematic sense. On the other hand, I feel that Missingno's a bit overused in fangames, like he's basically lost his charm at this point. Like instead of seeing a cool L-shaped glitch fiend you just go "oh yeah, this dude again.".

Also, props to these hacks for their documentation, along with renegade platinum. I wish all hacks had documentation so good

Theres an NPC who will tell you evo methods for shit, but it costs 1000 pokedollars each time and forces a save right before she tells you. Thank god for save states, at least.

Blaze black 2 redux just sucks in general since it was made by a different faggot (aphexcubed) and you'd be better off just playing the originals or some other BW2 hack.

>>59695791
Isn't classic just having the mons with official stats/abilities/types? While complete is the rebalanced version

>>59695784
>>59695806
If the setting is of a white family moving to a black town (or vice versa) for some reason, I wouldn't be asking. But if you present me a town with people of mixed races, I have to ask "who were the natives" and "what makes other people come here", etc.
I talked with all the NPCs and none of them said anything about the history of the town nor stories of themselves. Which means their pixel color is just for representation.

Straight to the trash bin.

The event boxes being written like the main character is some old timey gold rush prospector is so ungodly distracting, it doesn't match the visual or character designs whatsoever. Does Athanto want to be the American frontier, the Rust belt, generic Pokemon, just plain rural, or what? The identity of the region and the characters within it are incredibly muddled.

too bad though it wont ever be finished

>>59695536
>UHH DUUUUH YOU'RE JUST SHIT AND STUPID HURRRRR
It's the design principle you fucking numbskull, understand what the fuck I'm saying.
The first gym is designed to counter 2 out of 3 starters, okay that's fine, it forces you to use the mons you caught. The ENTIRETY of Route 1, 2, and Webbed Woods outside of the ground chicken and not-Murkrow are walled by the gym. Not matter what excuse you pull out of your ass about skill issues or whatever, that's terrible design.
>But da trade and muh Poliwag
So everything you caught up to visiting Catsear is fucking worthless so why did I even bother? Even the fringe encounters get wrecked in the gym, the only encounters on Route 3 worth dick are the Minccino to get access to the "break glass in case of emergency" Shellos and Poliwag.

Not releasing documentation to preserve surprise and discovery is commendable but that implies the developers are on the side of "use what you like" instead of min-maxing. Combined with how the first gym is made to counter every common encounter you've seen up to Catsear in practice it just ends up making the player run around on the same route for 20 minutes looking for a mon that may or may not exist. I don't want to roll over the game but the first gym creates a problem and the devs needed to hand you a free solution because they knew this. The problem isn't really fixable either without removing the gym's identity or throwing their early game balance out of wack. I picked up the Shellos and rolled the gym, I didn't feel accomplished, I felt like I was forced into using it because it was the only option I was given.

Yes, your options are that fucking bad dev-kun. Searching every available grass patch to find something that doesn't die immediately to the first gym is dogshit design.

Your brain is too smooth to understand the argument isn't about the difficulty of the fight, it's about the abhorrent excuse for game design surrounding the first gym.
Seven years of development for literally the first real hurdle of the game to be so poorly designed the devs need to hand the player a counter.

I really hope you aren't part of the development team with how monumentally fucking stupid you are but it really would explain a whole hell of a lot.

>>59697001

your argument is that it's bad because they don't make it so that every starter mon is a counter. at least stay consistent in your stupidity

>>59697011
>your argument is that it's bad because they don't make it so that every starter mon is a counter
The argument, retard, is that the gym counters the majority of the dex found up until that point. The flood of Bug and Grass types are worthless, Normal types can't hit the leadoff Fire/Steel worth a shit, and two of the three starters are countered when taking into consideration the Numel also on the team. The best Ground type move you can have at that point (capping out leveling at 10 for the sake of retaining challenge) is Mud Slap which makes Leonte, the Ground/Flying chicken fakemon, questionable as a true counter seeing as Boomboom can hit it with double neutral STAB. Poison status naturally does nothing and the two Sleep moves you have access to are coinflips at best.
I didn't level the raven fakemon or the suppository looking squid thing in the glassworks so I don't know what they learn which is on me, but disregarding them the only other thing available to hit the leadoff Neutral are Fire moves, which come from Fire mons, which are killed by Numel. Your only other attacking options are either SE or NVE, there is nothing else to hit it Neutral. Which leaves 3 options to combat Boomboom, catching Scrafty or Poliwag, or accepting the trade for Shellos which in my eyes is the devs conceding they balanced the fight like ass.

The whole dex up to that point boiled down to 3 options, 4 if you include the Water starter.

>>59696723

>>59697007
Could probably do it quite easily now, it would just take a bit of guidance, it's not a one-prompt-and-done kind of deal. Hardest part would probably be cracking the code since it's not open source, but I doubt that's a huge obstacle. Once you can get into the trainer files it should be able to do something like that fairly easily with good instruction.

got carried away making docs for monomyth just to see if I could and im very surprised with how well the models can pull shit out of the rom and how quickly. I think since it knows the rom is built with essentials or whatever it knows the layout of the binary better (i have pokeemerald cloned on my machine as well for it to reference). So thats to say: they can probably modify the rom as well as long as you make their feedback loop tight by letting them run the rom with a debugger and check their work.

How's Monomyth?

>>59697160
I find it really funny that the devs must've discussed for a while and came to a momentous decision to not document anything and not share their repo, only for it to get automatically documented in full a few minutes later.

It's like they have no confidence in their own fakemons. I'm trying to stick to them but I'm gravitating towards the real Pokemon because they all suck.

I've been enjoying the game a lot, but the story is really bland and there's no real hook for a good chunk of it, nothing happens until the fourth badge, the dynamics don't really change, there's no antagonists, shit just happens.
I'm also getting annoyed over the fact I can't even see the stats of the fakemon normally through the game.
For fuck's sake it's not even hard to introduce a dex feature that lets you see base stats.
Literally every single recent romhack has let you see them, if fags want to use mons with high BST they will do so anyway.
That also doesn't help with the fact the fakemon are fucking awful in terms of design and conception.
The dex entries feel like they were written by a retarded millennial or AI, one or the other.

Fun fact I learned in Monomyth, you can rob trainers blind of their items, including gym leaders.

>>59697279
There's a fakemon bird right before the first town you can get in the pocket of forest to the right called Ravond, it gets Payday and it makes the money issues in this game way less shit overall, but money is still extremely scarce.

I know I'm an entire game or two behind everyone else, but goddamn ghost grey is just a perfect thing to play on Halloween. Just beat the hivemind boss (at least where giovanni 1 would be) and I think it might be my favorite hack of all time. No evs or ivs makes it so there is literally no consequence to swapping out party members to try out new stuff, and boy is there a shit ton of new things to try. I thought every pokemon being part ghost (or at least almost every one, Mr.Charlie earned a spot just for not being one), would be a little boring as that means they're effectively monotype, but that novelty hasn't worn off yet. The characters (especially with the little voices) are goofy and delightful given the setting. I love talking to each and every npc, because I just love learning more about this world they've created (including mystery elevator guy). I do love all of the sprite work and the gimmick of being black and white works wonders for the art style. The lack of color makes my brain have to work just a little bit more to remember where everything is, so it almost feels like a metroidvania, exploration is integral to my love of this hack. Now that I think about it, it's scratching a similar itch to when I play super metroid and zero mission hacks, and that's a high praise. The balancing is so clearly not supposed to be a challenge hack in any way shape or form, so I feel like I can actually play a little stupidly and have a subpar team composition though it's still engaging enough unlike a mainline game so I don't feel the need to do a challenge run either. Exploration is so great I need to shout it out twice. Sound design is superb, I barely use fast forward like I do in other hacks because of that. I know I might get a little bored as it goes on, but even if this hack was only 50% as fun as it is now, it'd still be a top 10 or 5 hack.

>>59697286
>I think I wasted over 150k just in pokeballs before I even reached the third gym, shit's absurd.
Mixing fakemons and realmons together was already questionable but the eco shit really pushes it over the edge.
If I have a choice between a fakemon and something I'm already familiar with under eco pressure I'm going to take familiar 9/10 times unless the fakemon design is really good. Even if the realmon isn't particularly good I at least know enough about it to use it to the best of its abilities, not even having an in-game resource (as far as I'm aware) to gauge stat spreads of a fakemon only reinforces this further.

Experimentation is seemingly encouraged but the actual mechanics present are pushing me far away from it. I'm not wasting time training Dingledorf the whimsical fakemon that's potentially complete doodoo butthole when half of my measly wallet is on the line in every fight and I can pick up Pineco on the same route.

Because everything up until Route 3/Glassworks is useless against the gym.
Really consider the best options to tackle the first gym in the fakemon hack aren't fakemons. Also consider the first impression that come from being introduced to the fakemons on Route 1/2 and in the woods only to have the devs pull a gotcha and make them suck against what boils down to the tutorial gym.
The first gym invalidates everything you've caught up until you entered the city, that's malicious design. You obviously don't need everything you caught to counter the gym but you're talking about the gym being designed to clobber your initial introduction to the hack. You can easily roll into the town with a party of 6 but you immediately need to drop a mon or two because every one of them blows against the gym.

Were you filtered by the ground area only arriving after beating Wattson, surf opening up after Flannery, focus punch and the ghost area after Norman etc. in RSE too?

Pokemon by design is very feast-or-famine in terms of matchups. The devs just want you to use your problem solving skills like someone over the age of 8, rather than spamming one SE move 3-5 times per gym with your brain off. Catching a mon with a proper type advantage (or lack of disadvantage) is just one part of the puzzle, and the rest is strategy.

For the people too retarded to find a poliwag like you. What is the functional difference in your pedantic little brain between having Shellos there as a trade vs having it as a wild encounter? You must HATE being able to trade for a Machop before the Whitney fight

Does anyone also have no interest in using legendary/mythical pokemons? I like them as pieces for the stories, but using them just feels cheap and makes the efforts of training regular mons worthless. I also hate when random trainers use them in their team, feels out of place.

A story area you can go after the 7th badge via webbed forest

For that H-game idea (or lack thereof) proposed some threads back, how does a cohabition game sound, since that's the buzz with H-games? You know, Teaching Feeling, that kumadagaon game about getting stranded on an island, and similar stuff. Downtime can be subbed for travelling the island/city/forest/etc. for supplies and catching mons that help us do things.

Just hope whoever ends up making it doesn't make it black and white.

Building up a harem of utility women sounds like a cool idea. Court the right ones and they'll give you benefits in other areas.

Harem of utility women sounds closer to the farming game genre, or at least it makes me think of farming games first.

A little bit, but I think the two could be intermingled. Like how you would gradually discover new locations that offer certain features in a traditional Pokemon game, you could have a farm/commune/whatever act as a hub for you to keep returning to. With a day care, berry field, various shops that provide items. As you're out getting new Pokemon, badges, materials, or additional women, everyone back home is taking care of the shit you set up for them.
