#Pokemon ROM hacks

[curiousitycollective]

Hey anyone who likes Pokemon, we highly recommend checking out the romhack Pokemon Odyssey its a complete fangame that changes the story into one like Etrian Odyssey or Made in Abyss where you are diving deeper into ruins of an ancient dungeon world with an absolutely gorgeous art style.

We're just past the second of eight(?) levels and are loving it. Cool features include:

Beautiful artstyle, with expressive portraits for dialogue and cutscenes

Three different difficulty levels, which can be adjusted during playthrough

Trainer battles are doubles and wild pokemon are singles, which leads to really interesting battles and team dynamics

Exp share and a level all candy that allows you to instantly level your team up to one under the cap if you don't want to grind

Pokemon stats and moves are rebalanced to give weak pokemon and lines uses. There's a lot more pokemon to choose from and despite doubles being a harder format we are having way more fun with early game 'mons then ever

New regional forms for pokemon

Access to the move relearner and name rater for free in the hub area from the start of the game

An unlockable fast travel system

And more! It genuinely an amazing game and we really recommend checking it out

Pixel games can genuinely be so aesthetic, nice to play and have so many options , but we have moved away from such ‘retro games’ and I simultaneously understand and feel sad about it.

Like with modern memory capabilities and game development knowledge, I assume they could make such huge pixel art games with so many options and hours of gameplay if many people worked on them , no? Like why did we move away from this genre when it’s clear games like Stardew valley, undertale and fields of mistria have attracted so many people to play them .

There is pokemon rom hacks or fangames that show you can have 200 hours of gameplay and world to explore with new options and side quests. Like if you look at old pixel games they are old old but some had so much to do for their time like Digimon world ds or they had nice looking pixel graphics and like imagine if some indie devs decide to make a remake/reboot and add more options and improve the graphics a bit. I get that most pro gamers will want a huge beautiful interesting badass 3D game to play , but for more casual players or people with shitty computers that can’t open Microsoft word properly lol, pixel games can be such nice games.

Trying out a new ROM hack I've heard so much about -- Pokémon Prism! It's great so far!

[jadeazora]

So, I found a hack that's basically created its own types and type chart (that I'm still mentally working out), as well as re-sprited every Pokemon called Weird Type Fun.

Imo, it's pretty well-sprited too. Definitely swapping out bird-Lombre tho soon, since Meganium is part-Beast type and I try to not do overlaps in Type if I can help it.

Introduction

Hello, my name is Skeli and this is my only ROM hack. I started ROM hacking seriously in 2016 and have since written various ASM routines, created the Dynamic Pokemon Expansion for FireRed, and developed the Complete FireRed Upgrade together with ghoulslash. After a long time, I’m proud to announce that Pokemon Unbound is finally finished. There are now two fully functional versions:

The first is the main game, a story-driven game with complex puzzles that test the limits of your patience and endurance. Once you’ve completed the main campaign, there’s also a significant amount of post-game content to enjoy in the coming weeks.

The second version, called the Battle Frontier Demo, showcases Unbound’s combat engine by providing full access to the Battle Frontier. This version was created in the format of a mobile game, i.e. H. daily rewards, monthly payouts and unlimited playtime. If you enjoy fighting, you’ll find plenty to do with over 100 different possible fighting combinations. For a fair combat experience, I recommend choosing this version over the main game’s Insane difficulty – a difficulty designed for unfair challenges.

With that in mind: Have fun with Pokemon Unbound Download!

Story

Welcome to Borrius, a region rich with history. Centuries ago, the Borrian people were enveloped in a great war with a foreign land. When all seemed lost, the Borrian king summoned a powerful force to help turn the tide of battle. Unfortunately, the war ended in defeat when the king of the foreign land unleashed a devastating weapon. Disgruntled, the Borrian army returned home.

The people, now enraged against the Borrian king, attempted a coup by manipulating the dark force summoned during the war. The Borrian king was able to seal away its power, however, and the coup was thwarted.

Many years later, an organization known simply as the “Shadows” seems bent on releasing the dark force once again. Are they after the destruction of the Borrius region, or is there something else at play? It’s up to you to stand in their way!

Mary Plays Pokemon Gaia - Part V: A bit more of earthquake plot, Ranger town, fourth gym and big city gangs

More Twitter archiving. I'll be honest, I'm not too satisfied with this later-half of Gaia twitter liveblogging and there's not much I can do to improve it considering the lack of screenshots, but I think it still has its value.

Just to give a clearer timeframe of how much I dragged my feet with this game: the stuff in this part was originally posted June 2022, while the update before this was October 2021.

[Previous Post]

[Original Twitter Thread]

Alright. this update might be a little shallow cause I played this stuff and screenshotted it but since I wasn't feeling too well I didn't comment at the time and took a break from the game. But I think I can still do a satisfactory short rundown:

Before I get back, a short summary of Pokemon Gaia: it's a FRLG romhack which aims to reproduce the feeling of official games rather than trying to do something "darker"/"maturer". Difficulty is slightly harder than an official game at some points.

It's a straightforward pokemon adventure to beat gyms, the league and some ecofascist villains. It features a whole new region, a pokedex up to gen 6 mons, XY mechanics (fairy type + mega evos) and some QoL updates (ex. skipping backtracking at certain plot points).

Last time I posted I had finished the third gym and did a short training session since gyms started getting a little rough. After that, I arrived on Valoon Town and immediately a tremor was felt, which prompts the local Rangers to investigate it.

You go to the area north, to a place called Nemesis Cave, and find another of those big painted ancient walls. The plot is still moving pretty slowly at this point.

The best part of this area gameplay-wise though is that it got a ton of Durants and is really fucking good to train. There is my Excadrill (...still crying over that calm nature) and a good level bump to Charmeleon.

Back to Valoon Town, some of the things the place offers:

- a blue shard move tutor; - a ranger base; - a bug catching contest where you can win even mega stones!!

And then there's the bug type gym. I'll be honest with y'all, I don't remember much how this fight went but I'm guessing Mega Beedrill as rough enough I had to resort to paralyzing. 😬 Mega evos should probably be expected in every gym too.

To get to the next town you need to cross a marsh and OOOOHHH LOOK AT THIS LUCKY EGG

There was a rival fight which I also don't remember well lol sorry. But maybe the lack of screenshots indicates this wasn't too hard. Feel sorry for the guy though. (The building above is a Battle Marsh - more on it later.)

Past the marsh, you get into Telmurk City where you have to deal with a small subplot involving a gang which threatens warehouse employees and whatnot. After beating them you get the Fly HM.

And this is where I'm at. This is the current team. Now that I have Fly I'll probably do some backtracking before exploring Telmurk and moving with the plot.

People are looking at my Eevee evolution mechanic post, so here's a bunch more stuff I would do if I could make a ROM hack (keep in mind I never finished SwSh, PLA or SV).

(Pokémon with a + next to their name indicate changes are relevant to immediately adjacent evolutions.)

Type Matchups and mechanics

Ice resist: Ground, Dragon

Fairy weakness: Bug

Bug resist: Fairy

Psychic resist: Fairy

Psychic types are immune to moves with increased priority, except for those boosted by tailwind.

Stealth rocks is now Spikes for Pokémon immune to ground moves.

Applied abilities and typing

Cacturn + and Sudowoodo + now have access to infiltrator. (They look like stand ins)

Corsola is now Rock/Grass with the dry skin ability. (Rain/water give hp, Sun/fire takes hp. Good thing it's a rock type! Also coral bleaching).

Seviper now has the Merciless ability to counteract Zangoose and reflect real viper hunting strategies. (Merciless = more damage if opponent is poisoned).

Seismitoad + now has Liquid Ooze (curse ye Cane Toads).

Gogoat + is now Grass / Normal with access to Rock Head ability.

Probopass + is now Rock/Electric type with Minus.

Persian + are now Normal / Steel types.

Meganium now has access to the Grassy Surge ability.

Rampardos + now has access to Rock Head (I know it does nothing for them competitively, but let me dream).

Bastiodon is now 3.6 m or 11'10" tall (I know no one cares but come on, it's like THE WALL Pokémon based on a ceratopsian no less, why is it so short?)

Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist now have access to Flash Fire.

Plus ability now draws in Steel type moves, making the holder immune and raising their def stat when a steel move is used on the field.

Minus now prevents steel type moves from being played and raises the holder's speed when one is used. When Pokemon with Plus and Minus are on the field, the two abilities cancel out.

Shuppet + now has access to Synchronise, which now makes the holder immune to the effects of status while still under being the status condition. (Makes Hex more powerful and makes thematic sense).

Bulletproof: Immune to Moves with Priority, Mega Launcher boosted moves and Self-Destruct Moves. (Tirtouga +, Binacle +)

New Abilities

Archeops is now monorock and the new ability Liftoff, making it a secondary flying type after using or being hit by a flying move. Physical moves and roost/rest resets this condition. Animations also reflect whether Archeops is flying.

Aeronaught: Boost speed when hit by a flying type moves. Immunity to Flying type moves. (Jumpfluff, Driftbllim, Mienfoo, Hawlucha)

Hydrophobic: Boost speed when hit by a water type move, with immunity. (Anorith +, Surskit +)

Bulletproof: Immune to Moves with Priority, Mega Launcher boosted moves and Self-Destruct Moves. (Tirtouga +, Binacle +)

And that's all I got for now.

So I like playing Pokemon rom hacks, but I don’t like super hard rom hacks. Anyone have any suggestions for easier rom hacks, or ones that have difficulty options? I’ve played through the likes of Gaia and Unbound (and eagerly await the release of Saffron)

[cherryralts]

they should’ve never let me learn how to rom hack
