Anyone else playing Pokemon Insurgency?

The writing so far feels pretty fucking awful, but I'm desperate for a Pokemon fix since Z or whatever isn't going to be out for a year.

That's how the fangames are: they either try to be too serious by being edgy, or they try to be funny by being edgy or making a reference.

I actually thought Omnicron was pretty good.

My problem is that most of these games are either really well-written, or read like a terrible fan-fiction.

What's also beautiful about these hacks is that they have a tendency to crash all the goddamn time because of bad scripting, i.e. leaving scripted NPCs lying around on the overworld so if you speak with them, the game will try to load speech which isn't there because the event hasn't started.
So if you don't save literally all the time, you'd better be prepared to play through a lot of shit again.

Because the only people that write stories for hacks are autistic. You and me both are sitting here thinking we could do better, which of course is completely true, but neither of us are autistic (I think) and therefore would not ever reasonably find ourselves in a situatuation where we are writing the story for an edgy hack of a children's game.

The writing in Pokemon Brown and Prism seems reasonable by romhack standards which isn't saying much admittedly. Doesn't stray too far away from standard Pokémon stories.
If anything I am just skeptical about the Power Rangers shit.

Only possible con as of now is that Prism was written by a team, which means you'll probably be seeing a bit of referential dialogue every so and then compared to Brown, which was pretty tame on those matters.

You can do it in RPG Maker XP but you'll first need to download 'Pokémon Essentials. I've had a lot of fun making my own game. You claimed you wanted to make the 'perfect' ROM hack but you ought to know that the process is extremely time-consuming; except several days of imagination, creating and tinkering to last just 10-30 minutes of in-game time.

There's a certain irony to someone telling people they can't criticize the writing while using right in stead of write.

It's also possible to be critical about something without being able to do said thing yourself.
In fact, that's how most critics work.

Yeah if it were any other way capitalism would fail. People need to be able to criticize something without being able to do better themselves. Otherwise how are you supposed to judge a product? Just say its perfect because you can't do better?
