>>57458291I like the premise, and beta Kris has a cute design.
>The idea I was trying to shoot for is you start out as a generic trainer NPC who over time starts to advance and throw off the usual script of a Pokémon game. Your journey being simultaneous to the "actual" MCs. some of it was inspired by some of the team rocket firered hack as I liked your story played at the same time as Red's and you saw another point of view of that story.There was an abandoned hack I played several years back called "Gary's Mod". The premise was similar, playing through Kanto the same time as Red does. It was fun since it added new unique story beats, as well as several new locations within places like Mt. Moon, Diglett's Cave, even the Underground path (iirc).
Really served to make Kanto feel fresh and exciting despite the familiarity, unfortunately it got dropped. Maybe you can find some inspiration from it if you ever wanna try it yourself.
https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/garys-mod-beta-2-released.364713/I like Clefairy line quite a bit, but Snorlax was the king back in gen 2. Having the signature mon be Munchlax is cool to have such a cute but potentially powerful mon in its early stages as a starter, and unique as it wasn't introduced until gen 4, making it stand out in the region sonewhat. The unasauming look of a Munchlax fits this Beta Kris in a way, I think you're wise to stick with your favourite
Good luck with the project Kris-anon!
And thanks for trying to keep rheg alive, but it may not survive this upcoming Pokemon Presents in an 1¼hour anyways lmao.
