What are your thoughts on part of the screen being just HUD/information UI of sorts?

Think a (thin) box (def. not the size of a second screen, that's distracting in my opinion) below the map displaying time, status of your Pokémon, maybe clock, maybe key item shortcuts (binded to a particular key). If you press the menu key, the menu appears down there. During battle it becomes the typical battle buttons.

Questions:
>What size is acceptable? What size is too much?
>What's the most important information to display idly? (while you're just walking around a map)
>Should it have mouse compatibility, even if its compatible with just keyboard controls?
>What are some other smart uses it could have in other screens? For example, in the summary screen it could be used as buttons to switch between the different screens (memo, moves, ribbons etc) and during the bag it could be used to switch pockets.

I have the skills to code all this, just don't know if it's worth it. Dual screen is a meme to me because I don't think playing with mouse+keyboard is any good on a Pokémon game, but maybe dedicating a small part of the screen isn't? Really looking forward to your input.

I've been away for a couple months. What happened to Nuzlocke generals?

>>32288889
Goddamn. What game is this?

>>32289438
one that will never get released

I'm doing a Greek Region. A lot of it is coincidently covered in this video
https://youtu.be/AUiOH6Bnim8

Instead of gyms, I'm doing trials based on the 12 Labours of Herakles.
Each trial is led by a trial captain based on an Olympian. The trials are similar to Alola's Island Challenge.
I want to include a Sacred Pokemon similar to Totem Pokemon that are faced at some point in the trial.
>Minotaur in the Labyrinth
>Giant Automaton island rampage
>Medusa in the cave
My question is how to explain thr power boost and size enlargement of the Sacred Pokemon without the Ultra Dimension boost that made Totem Pokemon so mighty?

>>32289475
Just answer the question man.

>>32289544
Literally use google image search. It's built-in.

>>32289544
It's Phoenix Rising
>>32289587
Don't be a fucking cunt dude.

>>32289635
>>32289587
Goddamn I just checked the pokecommunity page. Jeesuus that shit looks incredible. So fucking official. Why oh why do great visionaries like this ALWAYS give up? How can anyone feny this doesn't look better than any fanmade game?
Even the character art is legit. This is awesome.
I am not a paid shill

>>32289533
Team Titan replaces some of the Sacred Pokemon with strange pokemon unlike any seen in the region such as Chimera, Hecatoncheires, Charybdis, etc.
It's revealed that they are creating these abominations with Hades funding. They create Typhon to defeat the Legendary Chrysios, based on the Eagle Of Zeus.

>>32289932

>>32289533
If you're doing fakemon have a trio based on the Fates or something idk. Then use creative liberties to justify the Sacred Pokemon from there.

>>32289955
Checked
Also, I meant like a "gimmick" to use.
Like how life energy from Xerneas/Yveltal created Mega Stones. Or how energy from the Ultra Dimension mutated Totem Pokemon.
I was thinking of having the Sacred Pokemon be ancient pokemon that belonged to the Twelve, the ancient rulers of the region based on the Olympians.

>>32290010
Yeah do that

>>32290010
Okay y'all, how 'bout this.
You know the Greek Classical Elements:Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and the Aether, the element of the gods.
What if I used the fifth element as a way to explain Sacred Pokemon and the pokemon made by Team Titan?
Also, I'm the Item Crafting dude from last thread. Hephaestus, the greek god pf crafting and smithing, would make Battle Equipment using the Aether.

>>32290053
Warts
Like the Quintessence is a type of energy that underlays all pokemon types. I could go say that the 18 types were all one before the so split. Or just make it an ambient energy that is found in all types.
Hell, I could do a whole E.T. that creates Quintessence Pokemon using the fifth element. The Quintessence Pokemon are pokemon made perfect, removed weaknesses, high stats, etc.

>>32290418
Dude you can do a reference to the God Particle, but make the fifth element be the thing that powers all types.

I guess I make the threads for now on?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>32291897
I didn't mean to be mean. I was joking. But yes. Please do.

I've been thinking about making a fan game for awhile now, though I can't decide on whether I should use real mons or fake mons. Which would you guys suggest/prefer?

>>32293211
Why not both?

Unless of course, you end up with too many.

>>32293211
Safest options are either
>No fakemon
>slight fakemon
>mostly fakemon
>all fakemon
You can try somewhere in between but you need to be careful. Fakemon might clash with real mons too much stylewise if you're not good enough. I guess you could have region forms then but idk if you wanted those.

Is anybody here good at fixing UVs for the Gen VI/VII mon textures? A ring of edges on Incineroar's pinkies broke after I symmetrised the main body mesh in Blender (turns out that turning on the X-mirror while editing vertices doesn't work half the time with this godforsaken thing) and then the UV broke when I was deleting and readding the affected vertices, and now they appear to be partially displaying the part of the main texture dedicated to the claws and little bits of the torso.

>>32294993
Something from the /heg/ discord.
DOORS was something which someone kept asking for in the threads before because he wanted gen 4 style doors with their animations. It then got asked in most of the threads, even after someone gave him doors.

Please do not post things from the Discord in the threads please. This is part of how the drawthread got ruined. What you posted specifically is innocuous but this is not a good habit to start.

>>32295137
Fuckoff

>>32295190
I'm serious, man. This is a bad road to go down. If something dramatic happens in the Discord and stays in the Discord, it doesn't directly hurt the threads. If people take it here, then it does.

We fortunately don't have any tripfags as bad as Swordbro yet but we should try to preserve the quality of the general as long as we can and avoid unnecessary drama.

>>32288889
Size is not a problem as long as it doesn't cover the screen. I'd go with 75% of pic related.

As far as informations to display goes, I'd add the time, the pokémons in the palyer's party with health bar and probably selected items.

Maybe add a minimap too.

after working on a pokedex for a while i started messing around with romhacking to see about actually using my dex in a game.

and boy is it not fun. i want to do gen4 but gen3 is so much easier. :/

Any kind of tutorial or resource you'd like to see made public?

"How to switch to ROMhacking" would be pretty good.

here is an idea if someone can do it;
>plat map
>all 802 mons in the game
>following mons

>>32296601
I don't think anyone has succeeded at expanding the number of Pokémon in Gen 4 so far, nor has anyone ported following Pokémon to Platinum. Each of these tasks individually would be a lot of work.

>>32296528

Hey Max, could you post the code for Triple Battles in Essentials? I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, what the hell? No new thread about your game?

>>32299337
I haven't finished it
Also, the only thread I had for my game was on April 1st
https://youtu.be/VeniZGga6Eg

>>32298130
Nice work.

>>32299450
Yeah I know. Why would you release your game on April Fool's day? TopKek

>>32299574
Because it was an April Fools prank

I'm fairly new to all of this, and mostly I just jerk around with changing stats, types, moves and shit.
But I was wondering if there is a way to add more pokemon to a game? Preferably either in gen IV or V.
I want to add every shiny version of a pokemon to a game, to sort of double the amount of catchable pokemon, and give them typings based on their colors.

Stylus RMX is fun

Would a Destiny Bond ability be broken?

>>32302429
But it works like Sturdy
So, if the pokemon is fainted in one hit, then the opposing pokemon goes with it.

>>32302922
>>32302429
Annoying as fuck, as is Sturdy. Renders outsmarting/having type advantage useless if it's on a shit defenses mon, and is irrelevant on a bulky one.

Dont like it

>>32303044
>Hurr durr Sturdy is annoying!
>Hurr Stall is so stupid!
Nah nigga, you just suck. God I hate yo u hyper offense faggots bitching because you can't get an easy win.
>>32302429
>>32302922
Anyway, this shit would definitely have to work like Sturdy to make it somewhat acceptable.
Imagine the butthurt this faggot above me would have bringing in his suped up Smogon Sweeper only to get wrecked by his own petard. Lol fucking delicious

>>32303183
Im not talking competitive, you cunt. Im talking in-game. It's shit when you can OHKO a Boldore with Bubble but oh no! It has Sturdy, so you don't win when you clearly had an advantage.

Why would I want to prepare in advance for an in-game fight only to be surprised by Pokémon faints because I played it well and got a one shot? I'd rather have something like Filter instead, which at least doesn't punish you and is just extra defenses overall.

>>32303213
>>32303183
Jeez, guys...c'mon
It's for a ghost type in my Greek region.

>>32303213
>Its shit because I say so!
Dude, have an opinion, but talk like that shit is fact. Most people like Sturdy. What the fuck is your malfunction? Just because it has a type advantage doesn't mean you should just beat it. Go fucking play Gen 1 you faggot.

>>32303213
This. It's annoying when you're fighting some random trainer whose Geodude would go down in one hit easily and the battle gets prolonged because of Sturdy.

Though it's not as bad as random trainers who spam Protect without strategy just to make you wait.

Project so far
>Based on Classical Mythology
>Set in the Hero Region, a region rich in history and culture that's inspired by Ancient Greece
>Protagonists named Alex (Alexander) and Helen (Helen of Troy)
>Prof.Oliver
>New Pokemon mostly based on legendary Greek creatures
>Gyms are gone in place of the Hero Trials.
>Hero Trials are based on the 12 Labours of Herakles
>Trial Captains based on 12 Olympians
>Legendary is Chrysios, a gigantic Electric/Flying gilded eagle that roosts at the peak of Mt.Olympus
>Pokemon Olympics post game
>Seven Natural Wonders sidequest
>Evil Team is Team Titans wants to overthrow the Trial Captains
>They awaken monsters based on Chimera, Ceto, etc. to sabotage the trials
>They awaken a powerful pokemon based on Typhon to destroy Mt.Olympus and Chrysios
>Regional vatiants are called Heroic Forms. Heroic Machamp is Fighting/Electric. It has two extra arms and is based on the Hecatoncheires, the hundred armed giants.

>>32304561
>Hero Region
Honestly a really stupid region name. You should think of something more creative.

I love all the other ideas though; no problems there. How many fakemon do you plan on having?

>>32304561
Sounds rad, but I also agree that Hero Region is a shit name.
Ancient Greece was called Hellas, so maybe Hellas Region or something based on that?

>>32304922
>>32304991
Nah I like it. Plus I get to call the regional variants "Heroic Forms".

>>32304922
>How many fakemon do you plan on having?
Many. Pretty much every creature found in Classical Mythology will be in the game. But if I can use a regional variants (Heroic Forms) there'll be no need to make fakemon. For instance, Heroic Machamp-Hecatoncheires

waiting for polished crystal is making me crazy, are there any other hacks that come close?

got any tips for learning how to compose music?

this is the one part of making a fan game I can't do. I can do scripting, spriting, mapping, eventing, but I can't do music for shit.

>>32304561
Can we have Heroic Probopass based on roman busts or something?

>>32304561
>Hero Trials are based on the 12 Labours of Herakles
Oh boy I can't wait for the "clean out all the shit in this stable" mission

>>32307289
Seconding this. Am in the exact same situation despite regularly practising for the last month or so. Would be nice if Max could make a tutorial or two.

>>32307289
>>32308340
Well, an important part of composing is understanding music theory
/mu/ has some great sources on how to get started
https://archived.moe/mu/thread/69264748/
There's some great easy lessons on MusicTheory.net as well.

It's also important to have a style reference when developing a soundtrack. All tracks should be related, even when in different keys, genres, or styles. Likewise, you should always have examples you can refer to for style.

There are also several free Digital Audio Workstations that can allow you to develop your tracks

>>32308186
I should have said it's based on the journey of classic heroes and their quests from the gods. The Herculean Labors was just a guideline.
The trials are all different. A race, a catching competition, a battle royale, a fetch quest, etc.etc.

I was thinking of having the water trial be buggered by the Hydra and pic related messing up another trial. Megamaton (a Steel/Fire Colussus of Rhodes cycloptic automaton pokemon) also buggers a trial site.
The labyrinth houses the macguffin needed to complete another trial.
Ideas would be greatly appreciated

I have been stuck on this track for TWO YEARS, and has gone through at least 10 different drafts.
Tonight, I said fuck it and wrote if from scratch again.
I'll keep this one.
It was one of the first tracks ever written for the project and was around during the time the project was on DS

Webm of alpha footage with sound:

Is there any game with the full Original Dragon? It's interesting how a tease like Kyurem's original form hasn't been adopted by any dev and made a game about it.

I love how this sounds! It seems like it has the intensity of the Hoenn and Unova E4 themes.

What project is this for, by the way? I know that Sage has a female Ground-type E4 member, but I'm just trying to make a guess based on the track's thumbnail.

>>32315021
This is for Meta Mercury
The thumbnail is almost three years outdated, actually.
The elite four also don't specialize in a particular type in this game.
Instead, they all focus on a type of weather condition.

The one in the thumbnail is Sandra who specializes in battling under the Sandstorm condition.
The other three are Soledad, Hailey, and Amelia.

I assume region maps are allowed. Here's the one from my game that will never be finished ever. I've annotated it with numbers to show the general progression through the game (4 - 5 is by ferry, 16 is accessed via C). Hidden shrines to the legendary Pokémon of the game are indicated by (A).

Key moments include visiting the research site of a devastating meteor impact thousands of years ago (B) and using the Dig HM (!) at the intersection of 5, 6 and 7 to continue only to see the words "Victory Road - East Entrance" pop up as the location marker (C). Of course, you can't follow it all the way through at first.

Honestly I'll never understand using Gen 5 maps in Essentials. How do you even select diagonal routes with even moderate accuracy in a Town Map without gen 5's "auto snappping"? Not hating, just something I think everybody oversees and drags them down.

>>32304561
>>32304922
Agreed with this, Hero Region sounds really dumb. You should give it a Greek sounding name, maybe even base it on the name of the Aegean since the Aegean world is where all that mythology comes from, and it's a region in real life like how Kanto also is.

>>32321133
Checked
Hero Region is not so bad.
Not like the name of the region will even be important anyway. Besides, I like calling the regional variants "Heroic Forms."
Ægean, Hellenic, Greco, Etc. just doesn't compare to Heroic Machamp, Heroic Amparos, Heroic Salamence, Heroic Heracross

>>32321171
You can still call them Heroic Forms even if the name of the region isn't hero... Hero Region just sounds really dumb. It sounds great for the forme name but not for the region. [Word] Region just sounds stupid in general, honestly.

>>32321171
You could have a compromise here fella. Call it the Heroi region. Doesn't immediately look like an English word, does immediately look like a Greek word, and you can still use your Heroic Forme name.

>>32321185
Wasn't even gonna reply, but that's actually not a bad idea. Heroi does look Greek. Pretty good dude.

How broken would this Water starter be?
Water/Electric
90/115/120 Offensive Spread
Storm Surge-Boosts Water moves by 50% in the rain
Holding a Choice Specs during Rain
Using Surf/Scald

>>32322030
Starters typically don't have stats spreads this steep (one stat can break 120 on rare occasions; the other stats are usually subpar but not minimized)
It's really the ability that breaks it, though.

>>32322036
It's the Poseidon legendary's ability-legendaries are meant to be broken-but I might give it to the starter as a special/hidden ability.
Yeah, isn't that like more than double the attacks power.
STAB+RAIN BOOST+ABILITY BOOST+CHOICE SPECs

>>32322046
That's more powerful than 2.5 hugepowers, though.
With THAT speed and THAT special attack and THAT stab and THAT obvious Water/Ice/Electric movepool, you'll just need a move to hit shednja to OHKO the whole dex.

>>32322053

Well, fuck Mermidon is Water/Ground and is slower, but more powerful than this thing. And it gets this ability. What the fuck is the compromise?

How is this for names for a Water/Electric Hippocampus starter line?
Kelpony/Surfoal
Hippontos/Crestrot
Hurricampos/Gallopelago
Honestly, the only one I'm fine with is Kelpony (Kelpie+Pony).
Perhaps, I should add an Electric twist on the final stage name?
Also, pic related is not my art. Just a jumping off point for me.

>>32322107
I think Kelpony and Surfoal are great names. Final stage needs some work, but I'm shit at names so I can't help you there.

That would be about the second gym or something right? Kinda cool

>>32322085
There is none.
The concept would be busted on something with 50 base special attack.
It might work on something that didn't get stab and had lower stats.
Also, Storm Surge sounds like a "Stormy Terrain" inducer, which ould be a cool alternative.

Man, I don't want to just make a Pokemon fangame because I suck at style mimicking, but on the other hand 90-2000s was a glut of Pokemon knockoffs. Maybe if it used different battle system...

>As a result of the size increase, its speed drops as well, but its attack is very high. Member the Rock priority? :^)

>>32329221
Wouldn't Slingshot literally just be renamed Accelerock?

>>32329221
Also forgot to mention, if Gamefreak does a Greece region you'll probably at least get the satisfaction that you could plan a better Greece region than the actual devs that have a huge budget backing them

>>32329221
I'm sorry I replied to you a third time and all but if you don't mind an overdone typing I feel like a Bug/Rock ant carrying the boulder named Antlas is something too good to pass up. Also you could have Slingshot calculate using the opponent's Sp.Def to set it apart.

>>32332080
Never. That project is fucking old, seemed to pick up a bit more steam around 2015-2016 promising at the very least a demo by then, but has not delivered and has been very quiet since.

>>32332094
Already did a Eros/Cupid line.
Luvdisc is JUST an unsalvageable disappointment. WHY didn't it evolve into Alomamola is beyond me.
Even with a Water/Fairy Heroic Form, it'd still suck.

This line is probably one of the most cliche concepts fakemon:
>Normal/Ghost Cat
It's not Schrondinger's cat, but a pokemon called Kittwin that comes in two types:Normal and Ghost.
Kittwin gets Synchronize
Evolving Kittwin whilst the other is in the party creates Geminese, the Gemini Pokemon.
Geminese is Normal/Ghost with Simple for the double boosts to acknowledge their union.
Still cliché, but at least its a spin on
>DUDE NORMAL/GHOST SCHRONDINGER'S CAT
>IT'S DEAD AND ALIVE AT THE SAME TIME

>>32332425

Also off-topic but I think Panthorn could work really well as a name/concept for a Grass type panther made of brambles.

ok thanks, brilliant hack by the way can't wait for release

How do you come up with a good antagonist/villain? I don't want a "le world domination meme xDDD" antagonist, they suck. I'm seriously stuck on making a compelling antagonist otherwise, though.

How hard is it to make a Gen 2 rom hack? I don't want to do anything big like making new Pokemon and stuff but I just want to make a custom region with the original 251 as I have no experience with romhacking.

And i'm on a Mac, a shit one at that

>>32334261
>"le world domination meme xDDD"
does this mean any goal involving taking anything over through any sort of method no matter how good or bad the motive is, or does it only apply to "i'm evil cause i'm evil i'm awakening a legendary to tame it and take over the world cause i want power muahahahaha"

>>32334388
The latter. I think for the most part it's sometimes unavoidable to have a "take over" villain in Pokemon hacks. A villain without stakes is boring.

>>32334417
That is true, the stakes don't need to be ridiculously high but they need to be there.

Also I'm just gonna blog for a bit about my planned antagonist
>Born in a poor home in a shitty city
>nearest city to actually get somewhere nice is across an area dangerous for people who aren't trainers
>can barely afford a couple Poke Balls/Potions etc
>held a grudge against society for how shit his early life was and vowed to change the world no matter what he had do
>obviously this includes illegal activities like extreme vigilante force so he forms an evil team under the hood
>prefers not to involve innocents whenever possible
>firm but fair with his underlings, treats them like people but still rather strict

It feels good to be able to go back over old drafts and finally complete them

>>32332969
I heard they are taking so long because Gavin had the brilliant idea to resprite every single Pokemon. Gotta be a hipster with a reposed Beautifly you know? That and their main coder just left the scene.

>>32336597
There's also the writer problem. They did a callout mid-last year to which I and many others applied, and from the questions I asked it seemed like they didn't have a solid story structure beyond their concept. Furthermore it seemed like they selected someone once submissions closed but they reopened submissions a few months later so I assume it didn't work out.

I want them to succeed and get their game done so I can play it but at the same time I'm a little salty about not getting picked because my submission (and, probably, those of several others) was pretty good.

god damn blazed glazed is garbage
why was I even allowed to choose my starter
it would actually be faster to play back up to this chikorita in front of the first gym after resetting for chimchar instead of grinding in this static shithole
where the fuck are my options

>>32334326
It's easier than hacking any other generation, since pokecrystal gives you complete source code to work with.

>>32334261
Maybe an antagonist that's more like the protagonist of tragic plays. They're sympathetic, they have noble goals, but also some character flaw that ruins them. For a villain team leader, that could work out as them honestly trying to improve the world by one value (freedom, beauty, land) at the expense of another (companionship, life, ocean), and then an irrational flaw in their personality makes them take the tradeoff way too far.

>>32336656
Don't waste your talent, man! Offer some freelance work, or volunteer to help a buddy. If you know more people in the scene, I'm sure they can use your help. God knows I could.

>>32336767
Its not "easier" because there isnt as many tools, tutorials and spoonfeeding, that's gen 3. Still gento is good and with more potential than gen 3, but definetely not for a newcomer.

>>32336987
For Gen 3 you type things into little boxes in XSE or A-Trainer or some other specific tool. For Gen 2 you type things into data/base_stats.asm or maps/NewBarkTown.asm or some other specific file. One of the few things you always need a tool for (unless you like hex editing) is mapping, and Crowdmap exists for that.

>>32337521
I know all that. All I'm saying is there are quite less tutorials on how to even being to comprehend all that stuff, whereas Gen 3 has literally every ASM routine ever as plug and play. And people shit on Essentials for being shit and easy? lulz epic

I studied software engineering at university and the structure of "scenes" in RMXP baffles me to this day. I managed to make a custom starter selection screen and trainer card/badge case screen but there's a lot of copy-pasting without really understanding the purpose of some statements. It's mostly to do with the creation of the scene itself, once I'm in there I can add and manipulate elements fairly well.

>>32345520
A bisexual version of Attract (if you must apply human gender terms to the moves of fake video game creatures) is not even the most gay part of Greek myths. Tiresias turned into a woman for seven years; Hermaphroditus was both male and female; Zeus raped women, but also boys like Ganymede (plus he did so in forms like an eagle, a bull, a satyr, etc).

I had a dream that I was making a fangame last night. Strangely, this is something I had never considered in my whole life and yet still had a dream about.

However I have absolutely zero knowledge of how this is even done. I have no knowledge of coding, drawing, spriting, music or pretty much anything that would be required to make something like this. I don't even have ideas for a region or storyline or anything else because, as I mentioned, I had never ever thought of doing something like this.

However, there's still a nagging feeling that this dream meant something and I should give it a try.

What do you think bros? How hard would it be for someone to start from the absolute zero for this? Would it be worth it? Or should I just not even try? How were things for you? How did you start and why? Maybe hearing other people's stories will help me decide.

>>32349573
Fucking do it. Eventually you'll make it. I can help you start if you're looking into ROM hacking, but I'm not an Essentials person I'm afraid

Listen to >>32349759, because that shit is fun. Write down your ideas whenever they pop up, and see what you can do with them. Maybe fuck around on Google Maps and find a place that looks like it could make a nice region.

Greek Region guy here
Would it be edgy to have the player revealed to be the child of the Trial King, Deus (Zeus)?
I want it to be like the Greek heroes lineage.

>>32349892
It's not really edgy, but it could come off as fanfic-ish, though it's got a decent justification so I'm not really sure.

>>32349892
Any mythical twist is going to feel out of place in a Pokemon story. The protagonist is supposed to be some average kid who goes on to become the best, it lets the player project themselves onto the character.
Being the son of a God makes it seem like the character has an unfair advantage over everyone else instead of simply relying on trust and skill. Like their destiny is already determined and the player is just along for the ride.

If this "Trial King" is just an ordinary guy and not actually a God like Zeus, it would make for a really cool reveal. A lot like the Silver - Giovanni link.

>>32350107
>If this "Trial King" is just an ordinary guy and not actually a God like Zeus, it would make for a really cool reveal. A lot like the Silver - Giovanni link.
Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that. Trial King Deus is the most powerful trainer in the region and oversees the trials, but he's just a guy though.
The original 12 Olympians are referenced as the ancient and powerful ruling family of the region. The twelve current trial captains and King are said to be descended from them.Though just like the Titanomachy, Team Titan justifies their assault on the trials as their birthright

Which is it /heg/? Flying type Quick Attack or flying type Fell Stinger?

Hurray! After hours of installing disassembly files and sorting out RGBDS v0.3.0 bugs despite having zero programming knowledge, I finally generated a clean pokecrystal.gbc.

Now to learn the actual ROM hacking part of this.

>>32349573
You could make something great anon, follow your dreams -- you don't know where things are going to lead you if you don't give it a shot. It could wind up being something you really take a liking to doing -- and it's okay if it doesn't pan out, because you at least tried, and it never hurts to try something like this. Good luck!

I've always wanted to try and make a fangame, but I'm too chicken. Don't be me, anon. You can do anything you set your mind to.

>>32350507
I like the idea of a flying type fell stinger more considering a lot of flying types get quick attack anyway.

>>32350606
Me too

How does this Slateport Gen 2 port sound so far, tone-wise? It took me longer than I would've thought to settle on little details, shit gets high-pitched in this song and I wasn't sure what to tone down for a while.

This better be you acapella-ing the shit outta this, anon

>>32351195
I don't upload snippets this short to soundcloud, and my singing voice isn't as good as the EH REH guy.

>>32349892
Honestly, if it's based on the Labours, that couldn't really be much more perfect. How about:

>Deus is the Champion
>He loves you, his son (or daughter, of course, as applicable) but refuses to battle you until you prove your worth as a Trainer
>Heroi has no Gyms so you must take the Trials to qualify to face the Elite Four and Champion l
>You don't just become a stronger Trainer, you become a better person and that's exactly what Deus wanted, for his child to reach their potential
>You battle him to become Champion

That way it mirrors Herakles being WELCOME and embraced among the Gods but only after he proves himself as a hero (after that nasty business of killing his family by accident THANKS HERA). And, of course, Zeus was Herakles' father so it makes sense to mirror that too.

>>32352205
No idea why welcome is capitalised there, sorry, blame my phone.

Also, the protagonist battling their father has been done before, and Norman also wanted you to prove yourself before he battled you, so it's not alien.

>>32352205
Great! I'll add that info then.
Still don't know how I'll do Mt.Olympus.
Usually the final trial consists of scaling Mt.Olympus(Victory Road) and facing Deus.
But Team Titan attacks the mountain and all the trial captains and an all out battle takes place. Think the God of War 3 opening battle.
-Trial Captains-They each have a theme.
Demeter-Growth
Ares-Valor
Apollo-Art
Artemis-Nature
Athena-Wisdom
Hermes-Adventure
Aprodite-Love
Hephaestus-Skill
Dionysus-Festivity
Poseidon-Power
Hera-Bond
Zeus-Supreme
*Hades is an unexpected trial. You get trapped in his "Underworld" during Hermes' trial. It's a play on the "Descent into the Underworld phase of the Heroic Cycle.
I realize there are 13 trials. Do you think that would be too much? The Elite four and gym leader set up doesn't exist in the Heroi region.

Or maybe I'll have Hera fuck it up for the player because she knows your true lineage, just like Herakles.
She sabotages a trial and you get stuck in the Underworld.
Maybe I'll have her be the other antagonist working with Team Titan instead of Dis. That way Hades is portrayed in his original Not Satan way.

How's this? Also, in defense of the "uniform" factor; it's basically North Korea, so the uniformity is intentional.

>>32353671
Much better. Also the uniformity makes sense in that context. Might be nice to carve a part out of the mountain and put some flowers or something. Open it up a bit. Other than that it works.

>>32353681
Thanks; and there is a reason for the cave being so cramped.

One of the intended gimmicks will be that you will never be able to just leave a town (see: aforementioned context); you'll always have to find a go-around. For this town, to keep it simple as the starter town, you will obtain some sort of cutting item (replace HM) and leave the town via cave, with the other end of the cave opening up on Route 1.

Sounds pretty cool. I more meant this area, though. It just looks a bit cramped at the entrance, but that might just be because its a shot of the whole map, not just the part visible in-game.

So I composed a Wild Battle theme for a GSC hack I'm working on. Figured I'd share and get some thoughts. Anyone have any feedback?

I posted this earlier, but anyways
For the Heroi Region, I plan to have a phenomenon based on quintessence/fifth element/aether that permeates the region, taking form in glowing, white crystals.
It's explained that this energy exists within all things. It powers all things.
I do know that these crystals are mined in bulk by Dis(Hades) company. I also want the aether crystals to weave into the schemes of Team Titan.
I still don't know how to apply it to the plot though. Can't make it like Mega Evolution or Z Moves. O-Power is sort of what I originally intended for it to be. I don't know. Can someone help me?

So after just googling "aether shard", I read about a game called Grimdawn.
Apparently, aether shards are used to craft other items. Weird, that's exactly what I posted earlier in the thread.
Maybe I'll just do that.
Battle Gear for pokemon created by Vulko, Not Season 1 Harrison Wells, is powered by the aether energy.

>>32354209
Feels really old-school, like an '80s RPG battle theme. One thing I feel about it that isn't very "Pokémon" is the section from 0:02 to 0:13. I think that part would sound better if you gave it a fast intensity drop and didn't cut the note off so it would fade to silence naturally. $X2 is a pretty good intensity to use regarding volume fade (the X is your starting pitch of course). I also think that one softer pulse channel could be made a little bit louder in general. I also think the area from 0:58 to 1:04 is a bit too underwhelming even for something with an old-school tone. Overall it's different enough from normal Pokémon flair that I don't want to just criticize parts for "it doesn't sound like Pokémon," because it doesn't really have to be if that's not what you're going for. I wish I could be more detailed in my criticism but I'm just not too trained in music.

I've recently came back from not playing anything pokemon since OG ruby/sapphire, and got hooked on sacred gold, so which is the best platinum hack? im looking for something like a drayano hack.

SOMEBODY PLEASE explain to me how to order a dex?
What are the "staple pokemon" to add? E.g. Rod fakemon, early route fakemon, regional bug, regional rodent, regional bird, starters, fossils, pseudo legendaries, legendaries, pikaclone
What am I missing? How many com mons to add? How many surfing encounters? How many fishing rod encounters? How many regular filler mons? Help please

>be me
>have like hundred ideas for fakemon or fakemon game
>one of these ideas is a bw1-style with all fakemon
>271-strong dex
>the legendaries are based on the major arcana of the tarot
>inb4 JoJo reference
Don't know if this fits but still
Can't code or sprite for shit so I'm an idea vomiter.

Remove those shitty square rocks on the mountain, they're ugly as fuck. Were they even in the originals at all? I never remember seeing them. Also needs more explorability, there needs to be a secret path down to the cool bay area. Could be one way up or down. Your level design reminds me a lot of sun and moon, linear with an extremely short path to a dead end as the "exploration".

Thank you for the actual criticism. I took some of it to heart and changed a few things. I also completely redid the second part.

Also, I should point out that these aren't in game yet. Just messing with soundfonts in FL Studio currently.

>>32356461
That map is way too open for Gen 2. In Gen 2 you can only see 10x9 tiles at a time. This map also isn't tiled correctly at all for Gen 2, I'm pretty sure this would expand the maximum tileset due to all the weird alignments. Also why are there eight berry trees on this map? I'm pretty sure there's a limit to how many sprites you can have on the map at once, and berry trees and item balls take up that space as well as NPCs. You'd have to split the map up into different chunks to have that many NPCs, which I don't think is possible due to how open the map is as previously stated.

I really like the redone second part. I'm not a fan of the complete pause at 1:08 though, just because you just did one at 0:57 (and it works there)
>Also, I should point out that these aren't in game yet. Just messing with soundfonts in FL Studio currently.
That explains a few audio quirks then. I think this is good to go for when you eventually port it to GSC, and any further tweaking can be after that. I'm here to help if you have problems or questions about doing music in Gen 2 once you move to recreating the songs with ASM.

Finished my remake of this route with Essentials. I went ultra autistic this time around by making each grass tile match the original, save for a few that weren't in the essentials default tiles. I'm never going that autistic again.
