#pokemon ROM hacks

[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.

Hi, gonna rant for a second.

I'm an avid pokemon rom hack enjoyer, but one thing that upsets me greatly is how every 3ds game romhack I look for that has every pokemon available without the need for doing anything to unlock them(i.e. post game or dex completion) and maybe an increased shiny rate are always bullshit hard. Maybe, just maybe, I want a wider variety of pokemon to use without being wiped every few battles by a level 12 plusle.

Sure, some people like the challenge, I respect that. However, I don't. I like the games because I don't have too hard of a time playing them. I don't have to overthink any amount of training or IVs or any of the sort. I want a wider variety of pokemon available, maybe a few trainer changes to match that variety, at a similar difficulty. I don't want my team wiped completely by every trainer.

Please and thank you.

If anyone has the solution to this problem, pls lmk I cannot for the life of me find any that don't make the difficulty bullshit

[cheemken]

u have any rom hacks recs? u seem to kno a lot haha

Ghmh yeah but like do note it's been a while since I last really played a rom hack, I'm not that updated w a lot of stuff anymore hahah

Anyways

For GBA

•Unbound (honestly the best imo really set the bar too damn high fr)

•Crown (this ones good if you're in to more typical rpg stuff like Fire Emblem or smth akin to Conquest, tho it's still in beta and you can only get the first "gym badge" it is a cool rom hack tho)

•Dark Worship (it's not fully translated in English but hey if you are or know Portuguese then you might like this one, it's dope ngl but also it's full of bugs so,, yeah hahah)

•Quetzal (haven't played this one, couldn't find a link to the latest version, but from what I heard it's cool since mons can follow you around)

•Emerald DX (basically just Emerald but w DS sprites and following pkmn, also w p/s split, I forgot if they added the Fairy type but I think they did, I'm adding this one bc I love Emerald and this one's a pretty solid rom hack hahah)

•Glazed (man I'm surprised this is still around ngl, but hey it's a classic, its solid, I don't remember getting that far in this rom hack ngl, but iirc I got to Johto, but didn't get to finish the game)

•Sors (this ones also dope, one thing I don't like abt it tho is that you can't change the MC's name or gender or customize him, and Lucario as an ace, I mean Lucario lovers would probs like this game but I just prefer Riolu)

•Saiph and Saiph 2 (haven't played these, but I think it's cool, Saiph 2 I did try tho and God fuckin love the sprites and the design of it, too bad it's unfinished but hey hahah)

•Sword and Shield GBA (if you want SwSh but w DS sprites, yeah. It's in Spanish tho, but there is an English translation if you want hahah)

For DS

•Blaze Black and Volt White (basically BW, but a bit better hahah)

•Blaze Black and Volt White 2 Redux (honestly the most definitive version of BW2 for me ngl, this is canon for me now hahaha no but fr it's pretty dope, a lot of changes and hey if you don't like the changes they still have one w/out em so it's a win win hahah)

•PMD: Explorers of Skies (pmd sky, but a bit harder, but also w more starters so hey hahah)

•PMD: Expanded Sky (this ones posted here on Tumblr, you can check here if you want, but yeah it's PMD but w starters from gen one to nine and a few more added so it's really cool!)

•PMD: Gates To Infinity Demake (GTI but in the DS, it's what we should've gotten, but hey this demake is still dope tho! But ah,, yeah still not finished but hey hahah)

•PMD: Future of Hope (I haven't finished this one but I really want to bc it's honestly dope af and it's kinda like a sequel to explorers)

•Conquest Ultimate (haven't tried this one too but low-key want to, says that it has mons to gen nine, and you can choose your own eeveelution at the start of the game rather than just sticking w Eevee)

POKEMON UNBOUND DOWNLOAD

Download >> https://pokemonunbound.net/pokemon-unbound-download/

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!

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.

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.

It's the fact that the Pokemon world has universal healthcare for animals but the US can't do the same for humans.
