At the same time asking, does anyone know a good hack with delta-ish pokemon like Insurgence?
Too hype for Alolans.

New team hopefully prepared to beat the shit out of the water leader.
At least the edgegoat should be able to fucking destroy the starmie.

What type is the goat veganon?

I'm looking for an ips for Emerald that'll make Pokemon die when they faint.
The closest thing I've found is JPAN's Roguelike Fire Red patch but I can't actually find the patch.

Steel/dark.
Starmie kryptonite as well.

So what are the decent romhacks/fangames that are actually completed? Preferably with rewritten stories and fakemons. I don't care if the story is edgy as shit. I saw that Vega is finally in English. Last time I bothered with romhacks, that shit was still in japanese.

>>27496402
I thought vega was swingy at first but I think that's not really what's going on here. You basically cruise through everything except gym leaders without any resistance, but the content is polished and the maps are neat and actually set up not to be annoying as shit imo.
Once you get to the gym leaders they're basically designed to counter everything and are easily over 10 levels stronger than anything in the area, but as you go further you get options to fuck them up pretty well.

i see that there are 3 different Platinum hacks, which one should i get? i would like a more challenging game without nuzlocke/randomizer

>>27499999
Bloody Platinum looks good for a non-randomized challenge, Mr. Quintman.

>YABD is a small piece of software that dumps your boxes using an exploit in the 3DS webbrowser ('spider'). For this you need any 'old' 3DS, 3DS XL or 2DS with a firmware version between 9.0.0 and 9.5.0-22. A New 3DS will NOT work.
What if I attempt to do it with a firmware older than 9? Would that be bad?

>>27500460
Wait. I am getting the
>Close this software and return to the home Menu?
message. Is this because it's a DS game and not a 3DS game? Would this change if I updated to 9.0 instead of 8.0?

What are you guys working on?

Working on a way to customize the player without having to re-sprite every thing 12 times.

>>27504243
I'm working on checking whether this qt is actually worth using, probably just terrible compared to hitmonchan though.

So, I tried the UPR but it still didn't scratch this particular itch.

I know this is likely impossible in regards to a normal hack, but is there anything that creates greater variation in Pokemon of the same species beyond the traditional IV/stats, like slightly differing movesets and appearances? I'd love to have the Pokemon I catch and train feel more unique or personalized than they do in the vanilla games.

>>27505255
He likely didnt mean that veganon.

>Dumb question
Can anyone tell me the reason why the 512x386 resolution?
I get that it imitate the gba resolution, but rmxp should be able to use even bigger res right?
I want to change it, is that fine?

>>27505873
Yeah you can change it.
DEFAULTSCREENHEIGHT and DEFAULTSCREENWIDTH control resolution.
You can find them in the first script section.

>>27505535
but it was a fun endeavor my friend.
I'll probably try and replace the rynos with this guy though, it's a lot cooler.
Also how I wish there wasn't a need to carry someone who can use surf everywhere, all water things I've found are awful.

So I'm implementing new Pokemon forms in my fangame.
Villain team (Team Zenith) is a bunch of Dr.Mengeleesque-scientists who experiment with Pokemon so they reach a new form called Zenith Form.
When a Pokemon is in its Zenith Form, it learns a new powerful move (as for Hypno, he learns Z-Hypnosis, which is basically a 100% accuracy Hypnosis), stats and type remains the same.
What do you think?

I actually updated to 9.2.0-20, and it's still giving me
>Close this software and return to the home Menu?

How do I go to the home menu without closing the game?

So I posted this on /v/ but here I go

So, I'm having an itch for pokemon lately, but it's always been piss easy, I'm looking at pokemon Storm Silver, the soul Silver Romhack, and looks solid, what's /vp/'s opinion on this and any other good romhacks?

>>27509979
>huesomerang

Why move names are so cringey in spanish?
Are they just as cringey in english to native english speakers?

completely useless with this sort of shit and this probably isn't the right place to ask but..
if i use a hacked version of pokemon go but with a different account will they be able to trace it to my main account and ban that or only ban the second account?

>>27510089
Storm Silver is really solid, played it and managed to finish everything, but if you want difficulity you should try Bloody Platinum, i had to switch my team like 30+ times throughout the game

>>27510089
Yeah it sounds completely retarded.

>>27480326

>>27508470
>>27509979
Not to be rude, but these designs look legitimately autistic. And while in concept deltas aren't a bad idea, just making a certain move overpowered seems rather pointless.
Of course do as you like, but be aware GF's own deltas are coming out next gen and they're hitting all the spots to make people like them. So regardless of where your ideas come from, by the time you have anything out they'll just look like a cheap attempt at replicating alolan forms with your own do not steal OC purple team.

Sprites that are this hard on the eyes when there's fakemons that actually look very good out there (like sage and some vegas) won't do you any favors either.

>>27493133

Which hack lets you evolve mid-battle? Video looks like it's Black/White?

>>27511330
It's Essentials.

>>27511594
You know your engine is good when people mistake it for the actual games.

Great work on that battle evolve script. Is it all finished now, and/or posted anywhere?

>>27511762
Not yet there are a few things I need to work out first: getting stone and conditional evolution to work when requirements are met, making it plug and play and a couple other things.

That being said, I might not release it as an individual script, as it could be reliant on other scripts to work. It'll may just come with the eventual engine.

That doesn't sound so crazy. Someone hacked HGSS to run at a consistent 60FPS.

https://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?48029-Pok%C3%A9mon-MindCrystal

In general if you spend a huge amount of time learning the code to a game for the purpose of hacking it, you'll probably find optimizations, especially if the original devs are shit-tier programmers like Game Freak.

Hey guys new to Pokémon rom hacks. Just looking for a Gen III hack that has a good amount of Pokémon, move lists, and some challenge. As far as story goes I would prefer Emerald's or a brand new one

able to obtain all pokemon, including trade evolutions without trading

>>27514982
The developer actually experimented, tried to add new mechanics, change up the game formula, etc. I like fakemons too, as long as they are are high quality. Also extra evos for older pokes, more megas, more primals, revamped shinies.

Nigga if I wanted to play a gamefreak pokemon game, than I wouldn't want to play your hack in the first place.

ah god damn
i tried Bloody Platinum but i really hate the idea of changing sprites
how's Flawless or Enhanced Platinum? are they easier?
i think i will try Enhanced because i also dislike Flawless' type changing

>>27506201
Yeah, I got it
I was just unsure if there were meme about "Use 384px or trash" in pokemon fan-game.

Just finished up Bag Screen to fit the bigger screen. Feedback, maybe? I have no sense of UI and a novice.
Will probably just re-position the items on screen and make new background,arrow, and selection menu sprites.

Reason why I use bigger screen; Coz me dun't like the plebeian 4x3 ratio. I just have to make sure not add complicated events/script so it doesn't lag.

>>27514982
I want something that feels like a Game Freak game. Doesn't have to be 100%, doesn't have to have a cookie-cutter story or a plot centered around Gyms, but I want the maps and characters to feel like that of a vanilla game.

Second to that is a ton of content, but most hacks aren't even complete to the point of matching a vanilla game's length, let alone stuffed with postgame.

>>27514762
It fixes pretty much everything wrong HGSS. Has a few minor bugs, but it's still amazing.

>>27514982
That it actually is quality, ie not terrible mapping, if it has fakemon, that their sprites are of decent quality, the dialogue isn't fucked to shit and some proofreading has been done, and the story flow is coherent.
...That's more than one thing. I suppose I'd put it all under an umbrella of 'being polished'.
I might just have high standards when looking for quality hacks.

>>27516210
Does it add the slots from the Japanese version back in? Are there any English language HGSS hacks that add the slots and card flip back? I like Voltorb Flip but I'd like to experience the remastered original Game Corner with the right games too.

>>27516086
Nah, many games use different resolutions, and depending on how yours is, it can be very beneficial.

Looks good, I'd just shuffle some things around.

At the top, I'd place the bag slots.

I'd keep the bag icon where it is in the upper left

The item description can go in the lower left quadrant of the screen, with the item icon near center screen, right above it.
I feel the scroll bar should stay to the side. I don't know if you'll use mouse functions or not, but it's just common place for ease of access.

My two minutes in paint don't really show everything accurately, but it can give you a little bit of an idea.

>I want something that feels like a Game Freak game

AHHHHHH

>>27516255
Unfortunately not, I forgot that was a thing. There's a hack which half asses it by adding the slots back, but they're still voltorb flip when you play them.

>>27516076
Try grabbing bullshit Platinum from nuzgen, it's flawless but with Drayano's type changes instead.

>>27516277
You can do your own thing and still feel like an actual game.
Many are polarized on developmental decisions anyway, so it's best to put what you want and what's most logical first.

>>27516276
Puting the pocket-tab on top is a nice idea. Thanks.

I just had a nostalgia attack for Platinum Enhanced while listening to the Frontier Brain battle theme from Platinum. Do any of the other two recommended Pt hacks change any battle music, or will I have to go play Enhanced again to satiate myself?

>>27516495
Just enhanced. You can change it yourself in the others with AR codes or by modding the ROM quickly.

>>27516288
uh what are Drayano's type changes?

>>27516639
Take a look at Sacred Gold/Storm Silver's documentation, pretty sure all the changes are taken from those. Most of them are pretty good, they make sense and make shit like Farfetch'd usable.

>>27514982
I don't mind difficulty hacks that don't mess with the dialogue or story much if at all, but a lot of people look to fan romhacks like this to get something fresh. I don't think fakemons or new evos are necessary, just spice up what's available when. As for the story the bottom line is to keep it simple. Too many people try to make things an epic with a bloated character cast filled with all their friends OC donut steals and it ends up coming off as juvenile and/or edgy. Also don't do this.

what ever happened to clover edition? was it rip because nobody worked on it?

haven't heard anything about it

Hint: there's no need to always place grass in routes so that you can't traverse them without encounters, and there's no need to make unavoidable random encounters in a place like a factory. Just making trainers more common as forced battles works a lot better.

Good layout and color choice, trees may look a bit weird in some places where they can be seen like down south, but overall definitely cozy/10.

>>27516277
I think the trick to this is capturing the feel of the original games while doing your own thing. So you don't have to do eight Gyms (clearly, as we all learned this week!) but as long as it has the right sense of adventure, humour and, most vital of all, creativity, it's all good.

There's a phrase that has really stuck with me lately, one of the anime segments says that the World of Pokémon is "as near as your imagination". Basically, if you can conceive it and it doesn't feel like a weird mishmash with the franchise then it's all good.

Do injection threads happen regularly?

I live near St. Louis, and was thinking about making a game set in the area, along the Mississippi River, but there's not a lot of geological variation out here, which makes me feel like I'm going to get into a situation like D/P and have a limited roster. I've also been thinking about routes and stuff, but I'm not sure if I should use major highways as a reference or not.

So how do you go about your region design and mapmaking? Specifically, modelling a region after an existing location.

>>27522675
This is the ROMhacking general, not the hackmon general.

>>27522744
You don't have to strictly follow the biome you'll find in real life. Game freak put a desert in New-York and the north of France after all. And you don't have to force a large biome variety if it just doesn't suit the region at all, you can still fit a varied roster in a limited number of biome, fire pokémons don't have to live near volcanoes for example.

Anyone else sad that Essentials will take a year to get the most basic mechanics/move functions etc? I can totally code on my own, but it's sad that the official support will be really slow and that Maruno doesn't accept code from anybody.

Also, wish there were better gen 6 sprites (in 4gen style) and that 7gen public sprites wouldnt take ages to see the light. And when they do, Insurgence/Epsilon/any noob/edgy trash game will use them and call it them feature.

>>27525570
Which do you believe look worse, those or
>>27508470
>>27509979

I'm leaning towards the second myself but that azurill and shroomish are hard to deal with.

>>27526072
How would you improve them? I made these back at the start so I took a break to tileset first and get a better feel for spriting. I was already going to redo the colors a bit so curious for feedback.

Doors.

>>27526415
I'm hoping you're >>27514233 this guy, since I don't think they other's "style" is redeemable at all.
I think the problem with yours is more than they look like weird variations of the normal monsters that don't seem to have a goal they're looking to achieve, if that makes sense to you.
Like the shroomish of the azurill I mentioned, what is really the point in the changes in coloration?
I can sort of see a ladybug-ish attempt in bulbasaur but the rest look like random changes to me.

If you want variations and don't want to start making up your own monsters from scratch, you probably need to be a lot bolder with the sort of changes you're going for.
Or at least pay more attention to detail so ice charmander doesn't look like an actual charmander frozen solid.

Good to know then. I was being a bit timid with changes, thinking people would be more upset with very drastic differences.

I'm looking for Pokemon hacks with cute grills.
Haven't paid attention to hacks in a while, are Touhoumon (Emerald) and Moemon (Firered) still my only options?

That's based, anon.
Keep doing this.

>>27528156
There's quite a few touhoumon hacks, and a stand-alone fangame with its own pokemon-like mechanics.
Moemon is available for FR and Emerald in a few different versions, and there's ports for Platinum and HG in the works. There's also some older moemon hacks with heightened difficulty, both in emerald and FR.

How would you guys feel about battles happening in the over-world?
What about a game where you don't catch other Pokemon?
A game where you only use your starter(s)?
Also, a game using VXAce instead of Essentials?

>>27529140
what do you mean, battles happening in the overworld? Explain.

And a game in which I can't team-build isn't a Pokemon game, to me. I suppose you could do it like Colliseum, or just have a bunch of gift pokemon, but if I'm railroaded into using a certain 6 right from the start of the game then I'm not interested.

Starters finally have sprites.

so that Artificial Red base released (in some state) the other day. I can't access it with any of the usual editors, though. Even on the pokecommunity thread the dude recommends D&D 5.0, which I tried, and it's still unusable.

>>27525645
>Maruno doesn't accept code from anybody

If only VX Ace's code editor and scripts were more expansive, then we'd all get to use .ogg files and a not shit engine.

>>27531534
You CAN use ogg format in Essentials. And loop it too.

>>27530957
Instead of having their own game-space battles happen in the game-world. Using sprites similar to HGSS.

I'm not sure how I'll handle not catching pokemon, but it'll probably involve gifts or purchasing them.

I haven't decided yet if I want to use pokemon for the game or try to make my own monster-battle based game. I have a lot of ways I think it'll deviate from the standard pokemon gameplay style.

>>27531654
I enjoy seeing more detailed sprites, for the monsters and attacks, so I wouldn't recommend going all-overworld unless you're making an entirely different game. It could work for a 3D game maybe.

>>27531711
I'm trying to determine if I should use VXAce or Essentials. If I use VXAce, I will use overwold battling. If I use essentials, I will use the standard system.

well okay, I got into it with D&D, turns out I had to replace the config file.

But now I want to use GPE - the documentation tells me there's a .ini file, and to "put in same folder as ROM".

But what the fuck does that mean? There's an ini folder in PGE, does it go there? Replace the one that's already there, which isn't titled "ROM", but "roms"? put it just alongside the .gba file?

well I figured it out, the answer was to change the name of the .ini to the same filename as the patched .gba file, and put them side-by-side.

But now I come to the part where I want to use Advance Map, and the instructions say
>For extended wild Pokémon, overwrite FC 03 at offset D027C of the .exe of Advance Map 1.92.
I assume this is something to do with hex editing, but overwrite it with WHAT?

Can't you just replace the text .narc with an english one? They should have the same amount of lines.

Re: Pokémon MindCrystal
You don't have to extract the text (narc a/0/2/7 btw), just download Spiky's DS Map Editor and you should be able to edit the text (and even add strings).

And of course you can, all the mods I did in that ROM are free to use.

>>27536522
I thought it would just be faster that way instead of importing line by line, unless spiky's has an import feature I don't know about.

Seems what you do is go to D027C, and you'll find "9C 01". That needs to be replaced with "FC 03".

However, I can't even find D027C. It doesn't exist, because the file only goes as long as 6a600. I'm talking about the .exe of Advance Map 1.92, of course. That's the one I need to edit, right?

Am I just being a fucking retard, or does nobody else have any experience with this shit either?

Grab Advance Map from here if you don't already have a copy: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bw0cbznV4l_TdjY4bjFMeU9UWjg&usp=sharing
Then open it in a hex editor and go to D027C. Change "9C 01" to your new number of Pokemon. Note that this is in reverse hex, i.e 9C01 is actually 0x19C = 412 in decimal.

Pic related: big surprise, it's Ice Vulpix vs. Fire Arbok.

Is there a way to get something more along the lines of what I was originally expecting, palettes that are still varied but just skewed a bit towards their new typings instead of just being a singular color all the way through?

I'm going to have a few dungeons that are legitimately difficult to go through. Most will be optional and give the player access to extremely rare pokemon, items, and areas to put their secret base.

These areas have several hazards like pitfalls, mazes, and changing maps.
Think places like the Dotted Hole, Snowbelle Forest, and the Underground from gen 4.
In caves, such as an abandoned mine shaft, the player can find items in the wall, but having the wall break can cause avalanches that inhibits the player from going any further.
In some others areas, the player is chased, sometimes having to hide to not be seen. Some encounters make the player start from the beginning of the dungeon. Others are just normal wild battles as if in gen 5 dark grass.

I've got most of this planned out, I just can't figure out what incentives i should leave for exploring. I'm thinking heart scales and nuggets or short cuts through mountains without trainer encounters, but I'm not sure if that's enough.

>>27538727
Any of the items from the underground would also be good incentives: evo stones, light clay, shards (assuming you have move tutors), plates, etc.

>>27538805
That's true, but not every area has a place to mine.
A couple forests and this one abandoned house, have chase mechanics as well, which would make it much harder to traverse.

Maybe having rare Pokémon exclusive to those areas or rarer items like berries on certain bushes in the area may make it worth it.

>>27537132

Rare pokemon would be a huge incentive, maybe if you want to be creative, blind pale Pokémon that have gotten used to dwelling in caves. With a special pokebody that makes them immune to dark type attacks

Thanks for the download link, for some reason my copy was much shorter when opened in a hex editor, it didn't even have the D027C spot.

Now, when I went to that offset, I didn't actually find 9C 01 (see pic related), but what I did find I changed to my number anyway. And now it works!

You are a prince among anons, thank you again.

>>27538727
I feel like Mega stones and rare pokémons are the best reward.

>>27505527
I believe there's someone who was working on an active randomiser. As in, every time you left an area, the game was re-randomised, so different pokemon appeared, new movesets, etc.

If you could find that project, and refine it to only alter movesets and abilities, and maybe shuffle stats, i reckon you could create that experience

>>27543219
No problem anon, enjoy! I guess 9C01 wasn't there because I'd already changed it myself at some point. Didn't realise that wasn't a clean copy of A-Map, but as long as you got it working it doesn't really matter.

>>27528032
desu, right now the hacking and fangame community is fucking awful. Devs show what they've got (generally not much) too early, creating a ravenous following that hounds them. Then they tend to moan because they're being asked about releases/demos/betas/features/progress so often. All the while they're rarely answering messages or replying to comments, and barely ever posting updates or talking about what actual progress has been made.

It's a vicious cycle where one thing perpetuates the next

>>27531469
It's kind of an unfinished piece of shit. You'd be better off trying to reverse engineer the Nameless FireRed project.

Hell, the dev might even help you if you ask nice enough

>>27543843
I make a romhack for some completely unrelated game whose romhacking following died years ago and it's the opposite of this. Basically the only ones interested in it are people who make romhacks themselves.
Good thing I'm only making for my friends and I irl though, so online stuff isn't important.

>>27543904
Yeah? What game man, I love seeing what kind of stuff people can cobble together

And it almost sounds better that way to me

I need some help: I have a friend who is getting back into Pokemon but he only played the gen 1 games, and is only familiar with gen 1 and gen 2 Pokemon. I'd like to find a nice FireRed/LeafGreen hack that lets him capture all 386 gen 1-3 Pokemon so he can start learning the gen 3 ones while still getting the classic Pokemon experience while also learning about abilities and natures and stuff. What do you guys recommend for that?

Wishlist:
* no mechanics changes outside those required to evolve trade-evolution Pokemon: No new types or moves or abilities.
* able to find eg. Ekans and Sandshrew on the same route, and all other version exclusives
* gen 3 Pokemon peppered throughout the game, maybe a few gen 2 here and there to supplement what isn't found on the Sevii islands
* some nice mechanic to get the other legendaries, and starters from all 3 gens

I'm sure there's plenty of people who have that vision and so I assume some hacks are around that do just that, but I don't know where to begin to look!

>>27543945
FFTA, we played it a lot when we were younger, so when I found out there were a few tools for it I took up modifying it as a hobby.

Which Platinum hack is the closest to a Drayano one?

I loved Volt White 2 and Omega FireRed, I want a similar deal with 6 pokes per trainer, and all trainers having good move coverage. I don't like changed pokemon at all, those Farfetch'd edits to make it have 130 attack aren't that fun to e honest, and if the game gave me the Gen IV starters it would be better, since I haven't used them before.

Why isn't Perfect Platinum on the list? I heard Flawless platinum makes every single trainer spam potions, which would make it dull.

Does anyone know if trainers you rematch in pokemon vega ever get different teams?

>>27543843
The reason they don't talk about progress is because there is almost never any progress, but they don't want to say it. Most people work on their project at some point where they have a lot of free time, then just stop for months because very little people have the patience to keep doing the same thing for so long and for free. Then eventualy pick it up again, post a few updates, makes it look alive, drop it and reapeat.

I've thought about making a ROM hack or RPGMaker game that applies Pokemon combat to a Digimon game, but ever since Cyber Sleuth came out I'm conflicted on whether to improve on that system, stick with Pokemon, or try to do the best of both. Either way I've been told multiplayer isn't plausible so that hurts my motivation as well.

>>27558552
One thing that bothers me with edits is when you they use iconic parts of another pokemon. The mothim wings on ledian are tip toeing on that line, so be careful. Usually small ears and horns are okay but using bigger parts can be noticible.

Absolutely disgusting. Attribute is something with more history and consistency for Digimon since the second incarnation of the v-pets and to a lesser extent before where the same logic applied in two tiers to the adult level Digimon even if they were not actually using VVD while things like fire filth ice undergo different incarnations through games.

>>27560606
I get where you're coming from, but when it came to CS the DVV thing became a little awkward when everything had a move to reverse that weakness. And when that was 200% damage compared to 150% for elements, the most suitable option for multiplayer was to keep damage as neutral as you could.

Of course, but the models's coloration is definitely wrong. Also, i'm mainly using bw/hgss sprites as a reference, in order to make them more like the game's sprite. For example Venusaur in the anime has always been way more blueish than in the games; and the sprite coloration between third and fouth gen changed a lot too. But the models are way different in many case, it's not just a matter of saturation.

>>27564708
So you mean the piracy patch. Are you new to emulation? Games sometimes run all kinds of checks to make sure you're running a real DS and if you don't pass they make the game harder, knowing you pirated it.

Since Gen 5, the Pokemon games disable all EXP when they notice you pirating. There are many pre-patched ROMs (do NOT use for romhacks, they are NOT clean) and anti-anti-piracy patches (what you are looking for) available.

Just look for the piracy patch.

You have to change it in the text of event that controls the starter selection cutscene. I don't remember which it is but it's somewhere on the lab map

New to pokemon, just finished playing the Sage demo. Are there any fully finished RMXP pokeymans, or are they all still at some stage of development?

I'm in deep now. I'm just embracing the shit sprites at this point.

>>27566495
are all the legendaries just going to be the popular brands?

>>27566691
I haven't quite decided. I'm thinking about making frankenberry, booberry and countchocula be the legendary birds. The good pokemon are for sure gonna be the dope ass sugary cereals. I'm open ideas here

Why can we not port essentials to ace? Is anyone already doing this?

>>27566495
Plz include Envirokids. It's important to me.

>>27507667
This is comfy as fuck, but you may want to not plant trees on the sand.

>>27566868
make arceus captain crunch

>>27507667
I'm not digging the sand on top of the rocky cliffs, but I'm digging that tileset. Comfy as can be. Would you maybe share the tileset?

>>27562738
Great work, I'd play it. X and Y are so ugly, they need this.

>>27566868
>I'm thinking about making frankenberry, booberry and countchocula be the legendary birds.
Ho. Lee. Fuk.
DO IT.

Lucky Charms needs to have Tri-Attack.
Reese's Puffs should get Mud Sport.
I don't know if you're adding on newer types and abilities, but Cheerios should have Honey Gather.

You got it. I'm figuring out the best way to do the sprites without completely hand doing them. Super Bear is the best so far.

I need an opinion. Is it better to evolve from Mascot to mascot or evolve the same mascot into different versions of itself.

>>27564670
Maruno is such a fucking prick.
Whenever you ask him a question he responds in the most unhelpful and rude way.

>>27567499
I think the first evolution should be the first iteration of the mascot and just have it evolve into the newer versions of the same mascot

How do these battle boxes look?

>>27567499
The latter. Unless the progression is from store-brand to off-brand to original, there really isn't a need to keep similar cereal's together.

Who gets Knock-off?

>>27567546
Sometimes he gets asked the dumbest questions which are easily found on the wiki or Essentials itself so I don't blame him for coming across as stubborn.

>>27567572
Aight, I like the modern touch and color selection.

>>27567572
It's a fairly sleek design, but it also looks very, very dull. The boxes' colors for the battle options and moves are really desaturated and don't really work at all with the dark grey boxes [likewise, more vibrant-colored boxes would have complimented the dark grey boxes well).

Additionally, the placement of your text in the boxes with the HP bars is a bit strange. Having the Pokemon name/gender going to the left of the boxes like that with little padding on the bottom edge makes the layout look fairly jumbled. It's also pretty confusing to have the EXP bar above the HP Bar, given that the main games usually have it below. Also when you use dark boxes like that, having a text shadow is usually the way to go, like they did with Platinum [pic related].

>>27567585
thanks for the advice. I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do with the generics. gonna make the 151 at least partially familiar characters.

I'm looking for a Dryano style romhack of GSC that adds a bit of balance, do any of these exist? I enjoyed Christmas Gold but that was quite different, looking for something with the similar feel to the original games

Thanks, some tree grow in the sand, not tree like that tho. I may add another kind of tree or just remove some sand.
>>27567187
Here is the tileset, it's similar the one I already posted here with some change.

>>27565761
We might as well not ROMhack at all in the first place then other than bugfixes since we're straying from canon with just about anything we do.

>>27567928
If you're looking for Drayano-style specifically, Polished Crystal is inspired by that, though I still haven't played it to judge its quality.

I'm sure you've read Breakfast of the Gods, of course.

>>27568815
I'm an utter beginner, but so far I haven't been able to find the answer to this question - can you just replace map sprites en mass?

Every tutorial I see is for "adding" or "inserting" new tiles, but what if I don't want to do that, I just want to replace the existing tiles with altered versions?

I can do that with the pokemon sprites very easily, but is that possible for the maps? For example, can I export the existing tileset, mspaint all the trees pink, then import it back in just as simple as that?

If you ever finish inserting this, I'll definitely help you with custom cries if you need that.

>>27569823
If you ever finish this*

As in, all the sprites are in.
I presume that's all you're doing, or are you editing their stats and movesets as well?

>>27569858
I'm going to start off my just getting all the sprites in. then I'm going to edit types and movesets and such. I'll totally post when i need custom cries because I have no idea what to do there.

>>27569614
Yes, you can. RMXP just take whatever is inside the 32x32 squares you used when mapping. And you can of course create your own tileset from scratch as long as you follow a template, which is a width of 8 tiles and a length that is a multiple of 32. RMXP cut the tileset in 32x32 tiles on its own.

I'm pretty sure he didn't intend this to be a complete package of a hack, he just wanted to write some coding for HGSS since nobody was doing it.

>Dollsteak fucked up his rombase's name for literally no reason

What's the best hex editor to restore the rom name back to BPRE?

Okay, so what is genning? Explain it like I'm in elementary school

>>27570744
It's hacking a Pokemon in the game, based on the name of the old program "Pokegen", gen meaning generator.

>>27569898
I guessing RMXP is a map editing tool, but I can't find any working download links.

Any way to do that in Advance Map 1.92? Without having to change each individual 8x8 block one at a time, I mean.

>>27570940
Ho you're talking about rom hacking. Sorry I don't know how it works.

>>27570940
>>27569614

If you just want to recolor, you just edit the palette(s).
If you open the Block editor (in a-map), you will see a bunch of weird tiles to the right, and all the normal ones to the left.
The left one (the blocks as they're called) are built by 4 8x8 tiles, from the right. If you right click on one of the 8x8 tiles in a block, you'll select that 8x8 tile, with it's respective palette.
You can edit the palette in one of the tabs in the block editor, it's simple really, but might be confusing to a first comer.
Keep in mind that palettes 0-6 are the palettes used in the primary tileset, and that all tilesets have their own set of palettes. If you go to the Header tab, you get to pick 2 different tilesets.
Now, there are only 2 primary tilesets:
0, the outdoors nature tileset, and 12, the indoor tileset.
I was gonna write more about tilesets and what not to do, but I forgot you were asking about colors.

TLDR: Click block editor -> click Palette editor (or whatever it's called) -> edit palette 0-6 for the primary tileset, 7-12 for the secondary.

>>27572458
thanks, this is actually really helpful for a super retard like me!

Is it possible to apply the Battle Frontier level-limiting thing to the regular game?

For example, impose a hard limit of like level 13 for the first gym, then you get the badge and it raises to 19 or something. The idea would be to lock the players so that they're under-leveled at all times, increasing difficulty.

>>27573290
Pokémon Pyrite does this.

Is this what you're planning on doing for the cries? If so, count me in.

>>27567572
I think you should make use of those borders your attacks have to convey whether the attack is special or physical. Just a binary color code should do the trick.

rmxp or ROM ?

Yo guys, I beat Pokemon Reborn and was planning to play Rejuvenation but... how can I say it?

Well, Reborn was edgy and all, but the story seemed really cool even with its ups and downs and the gameplay was awesome with its challenges.

But Rejuvenation, right at the start, felt really, really forced in its story. Is it actually good after that?

>>27573760
Pokemon Cereal confirmed for GOAT

>>27573901
No it keeps being terrible, just like Zeta/Omicron and Insurgence, desu.

>>27573956
Gameplay good at least?

>>27573901
Haven't played Reborn, but what was cool about the story? I know next to nothing about it besides how edgy it apparently is.

>>27573989
It's completely awful. Most of it is just poorly-transferred Reborn stuff and the devs make OP donutsteels while removing good Pokes.

>>27573991
Well, I kinda liked the story by the time we have to invade a building (not gonna say which one due to spoilers). You, a girl and a rival start working together there, instead of you alone like most other games and, from that point forward to a bunch of parts in the game, the badges and the HMs they let you use become a plot point. ''We ran from here, but to continue, we gonna need Strength, but even if we get this HM, we are gonna need some X badge to use it, and for that we are gonna need to cross this part of the region''

I also like how the Gym Leaders are actually useful unlike, well, being just leaders. They are related to investigations and many of the times the enemy team is attacking a leader will help in a way or another, be it story or gameplay.

>>27574113
oh man. I was at least interested in the gameplay. Maybe in some future months while waiting for Sun and Moon I will play it then.

>>27573850
Not that guy, but I'd like a rom with this concept. Hopefully for something later than gen 3 since I've played the others to death.

>>27574135
Huh, that's actually an interesting way to incorporate gyms and what not. It has me thinking how I should approach my game at least. Thanks!
