>>49728977Ah im kinda doing that already. The plan is for there to not be any mentions of "pokemon" and related things. In this halfbaked way it kind of is its own thing. I've also been making a couple comic pages within the same setting.
I haven't looked into gamedev at all really (so I'm clueless) and I'm not a big video game or game design guy to begin with, so I figured romhacking would work well for realizing my idea because there is a preexisting framework I can basically put my stuff into. It seemed less intimidating than the ominous unknown of "making it myself"
I will keep it in mind though
