Response to (my own) OP thread topic: because it's enjoyable and I have fun with it.

Pic related: this is as close to a final form of Pewter I'm going to get any time soon. Still have like 78 replacements to go on my custom Pokedex. Not going to spam every thread with my maps, just wanted to show how much better I've gotten since some anon posted one of my shitty old maps a couple of threads ago.

This so hard. I haven't been satisfied since Gen 3. Maybe that says something about me, but I thought the move to 3D environments was a mistake.

I'm a complete novice. I'm a fucking psych major (AA in Human Services), so this stuff is all tutorials in my down-time and a ton of practice.

And isn't that what hacking comes down to? Fulfilling childhood dreams of creating our own Pokemon game!

I've become interested in making my own hack because I want to try recreating that feeling of exploration the old gens had. I also like coming up with character designs and storylines.

I have so many sketches of potential routes and towns lying around. Learning to translate them into advance map was a bit harder than expected. I'm going to try and make my own outdoor tileset pretty soon

>Why do you hack?
At this point most of my motivation is simply just to want to satisfy myself with something. Most of the time the real games have done things there's always been a catch. Also at one point my motivation was to try and make a game good enough that would get people, mostly ones outside of here, to stop fucking pretending everything is perfect. I didn't find SM bad, but the overwhelmingly positive reception scares me into thinking GF will focus on turning Pokemon into a full movie series game someday.

My motivation has been faltering though after what happened with Prism however. I've always been quite a paranoid person and I'm still in shock after that.

tl;dr I'm feeling less than satisfied and have pretty much no other way to cope

I think a bipedal stego looks even weirder than the last couple fire starters. It just seems like the one of the last things you'd expect to see go bipedal. Do you have any quadruped concepts you scrapped previously?

Also, is that chest thing what I think it is?

What function do the ledges serve?
The cave openings will not allow a player to see the route below them, and vice versa due to the 7x4.5 block view radius.
Aside that, solid.

I'm not afraid of C&D because I'm doing it in a low key hobbyist capacity. If my hack ever drops I guarantee you nobody will be talking about it outside of a PC thread and /heg/.
I agree with you - the direction GF is going is toxic and I'm not sure why everyone is okay with less and less content and more gimmicks every generation.

I'm abandoning gyms in my game and will be instead making a sort of battling league that's like an actual sports league.
There are eight teams:
>Grass-Razorleafs
>Fire-FireFangs
>Water-Whirlpools
>Electric-Thunderbolts
>Ground-Sandstorm
>Psychic-Heartstamps
>Steel-Royal Shields
>Light-Royal Swords
The region is loosely based on England and the league (Primary League, as in primary colors) is based on the soccer Premier League.
I think I posted here before, but I'm having trouble trying to plot the different games out.
You, Plus, are the son of a retired Battle Club legend who wants you to carry on his legacy. He gets you three pokemon to choose from Fire, Water, or Grass. Your choice of starter determines what club you go to which are in different cities.
The Grass, Water, and Fire clubs all suck so it's part of your adventure to bring your club to the top.
Anyway, as I said, whereas traditionally you'd battle eight gym leaders and then the elite four, once you join your club, you'd have a set schedule with each of your games.

Sounds pretty fun. Even if you make the fire/grass/water teams the same thing, it sounds like it'll have a lot of replay value. if you're doing a fangame instead of a romhack, have you considered making it so you can do a newgame+ where you can choose one of the other teams?

I see. It still looks a bit too humanoid, in my opinion, but I'd have to see said sketch before I can judge it.

They also seem to look a bit more like ankylos rather than stegos, since those tend to be a bit more flat while stegos have a more vertical height.

Are you me?

Either way I think one suggestion I would give is that you would win your domestic league after beating the 8th 'gym' (or whatever club corresponds to it) and the Elite Four would be a Champion League style series of 5 knockout battles against the strongest clubs from foreign regions. You could just play the matches in the stadium of your region's biggest city if you didnt want to make the player have to travel to these foreign regions.

I don't think content will be an issue as long as GF doesn't permanently abandon director's cut-styled games, but until I see one for SM I always fear they'll simply just give the basic version and then instead of finishing it up just shove out remake after remake that the fanbase will keep demanding for region after region.

As far as gimmicks go I don't mind too much since I love regional variants as a concept and Z-Moves were a lot less broken than I thought they'd be, but it sets a bad precedent that they'll just cycle out gimmicks every gen and it'll just bloat itself on superpower/superform gimmicks.

If anything the thing to worry about above all else is the movie game stuff, it's clear GF won't learn their lesson about balancing the cutscene time and gameplay time with "OMG LILLIE MUH WAIFU" being all over the internet.

I can't really resent GF if most of the fanbase is too forgiving of the games.

Yes, there will be multiple save slots if that's what you mean.
I mean, there's still an actual plot involving this Knight Templar type evil team, but the Battle Club is like the Pokemon League of the game.
The teams are not really the same.
The fire water and grass teams each suck for a reason:the captain.
The first story arc of the game is Plus becoming captain.
The Razorleafs captain is young, inexperienced, and a weak, ineffectual amateur.
The Fire Fangs captain is a hotheaded, foul mouthed, unfocused man with too much energy and not enough skill.
The Whirlpools captain is an uncaring, fill in. She only became captain to have unlimited access to the spa houses.
So, Plus's goal is to inspire the team by becoming the captain it needs. AS captain,you the player takes on the whole responsibilities of the club. Like a manager or coach of the team.
You the player will be responsible for training your members, recruiting new battlers, and securing sponsors.
It may sound ambitious, but I think it's worth making because it's something I don't even think Gamefreak will do.

Situation: I am graduated in game design. Higher than average skills on RPG Maker, programming, drawing and Pokémon.
Problem: I don't have fun doing those things.

Should I insist on trying to hack by myself or try posting on a forum a game concept file to see if anyone pick it up and do it?
(I seriously consider HIRING people to actually make what I design).

Well. I have been designing a region based on my country. So far I have a concept for the elite four, the champion and the 8 gym leaders, their appearances and their typings. (character designing)
Since SM came out I started designing trials to be part of the puzzle of the gym (level design) so I can put both systems together.

Fakemon would be obviously based on aspects of our culture. Based on that I started creating 4 different regional dexes but feel that would be too much (since I don't want to give up on the official ones). But, I'd need somebody with better knowledge in movesets, stats and stuff since I don't like competitive battling.

Aside from that, I always have that "I can do better" though, so I also have thought of how I could change other aspects of the game. From Pokémon changes (not really regional forms, but how this or that Pokémon could have been - from coloration to characteristics). I have an excel sheet with two concepts for each existing mon up to gen VI and started this week for the Alolan ones.

Type changes, such as changing Flying to Wind and giving it to Pokémon who depend on Wind to attack. A Dodrio is a bird but doesn't rely on Wind, so it's Normal. I have one or two other adaptations. No new types, though.

Other mechanics I'd feel would make the game better such as pokéball customizations and how it would affect it's catch rate. Also, quests to make gameplay more diversified. When somebody wants to give you something, why not actually do something for them (not only "Show me x and I'll be happy").

Sorry for the long post. If I could quote I'd do it.

It's pretty plain, honestly. There's only one side area limiting the exploration. I'd retool it to make it a slightly shorter main path with one or two more side paths for item with maybe one of them being blocked off requiring backtracking with a new ability. As much as sage is a meme, their forest is one of the better forest maps I've seen.

It's pretty decent looking. The palletes are really good and I like the tile choice. The shadows of the majority of your tiles need fixing though.

Anyways, the biggest problem with the map is that it's not very player-friendly; there's a ton of stuff in the player's way that allows for very little movement. Game Freak seldom maps this way and even though they keep their maps somewhat focused/closed-in, there are always a few tiles for the player to walk around in. Your map has a lot of bushes/trees/etc that are very restrictive to the player's movement (the majority of which I 'x-ed' out in red). Rather than placing these trees/boulders/etc in the center of pathways, where they restrict the player's path, it would be better to move them to the corners/edges of these areas.

The bush within the tall grass in the far left isnt as big a deal in terms of restrictiveness, but it does look very '2-d' planted within the grass like that; Game Freak usually puts their bushes against a backdrop of trees or a mountain to give the illusion of depth.

Other than that

-There's a portion in the Southeast of the map where your trees are missing the left side of their foliage (circled in red).

-Consider adding paths

-Perhaps add a second wind turbine near the house so the single one on the map feels less out of place

-Your Rock Smash tiles look pretty outdated, should consider using more modern ones

-This is super autistic but it doesn't look great when the small rocks are directly adjacent to patches of grass. This is more of a personal opinion than a critique based on how Pokemon maps 'should' look and play like to be appealing, but I feel like this hurts the visual transition from grass->land

-The area in the very southeast with the boxes looks neat, could foresee a cool event going down there.

>there's a ton of stuff in the player's way that allows for very little movement
The big trees aren't as bad as they look, they only block 2 tiles where the trunk is as opposed to the 6 I think you're assuming they do. that said I can see one that is wrong.
>The bush within the tall grass in the far left isnt as big a deal in terms of restrictiveness, but it does look very '2-d' planted within the grass like that
Those are functional berry bushes! I want them in shit places. I picked the most stand-out-like-a-sore-thumb tile that was vaguely berryish.

Those are HGSS/DPPt rock smash rocks, they looked shit in their games and do here but those are the correct tiles, I'll consider it but it's not high on my list.

I want people to stop doing this. Giving them more Pokémon is good, giving mid- and late-game trainers full teams is good, giving early-game trainers full teams is bad and screws up the difficulty curve such that the earliest part of the game becomes the hardest and it gets easier over time since you likely won't have a full team during the first couple bosses.

Straight up, it has too many narrow paths and without context regarding trainers or purpose in the game it seems aimless.
Yoou have few 3 tile paths and many 2 or 1 paths; you need to have the opposite. I used to fully fucking tard on the pathing and do 1 tile pathways all the time - don't do that. Use 2 sparingly, 3 religiously, 4 occasionally and 1 rarely.
Where is this map in the greater context of your hack? An early, middle, or later-game map? The placement of your map determines which HM obstacles you should choose (why Rock Smash when Cut trees could suffice?)
Trees on rises look like crap when the rises are so small. I'm all for deviating from Gamefreak mapping, but you can't argue their mapping doesn't strive for some form of sensibility.

I see a lot of dead ends but that's not necessarily a bad thing as long as there's something worth doing at the end of them.
That whole bottom right section is totally out-of-the-way from everything else. The closest cities to it are halfway up the map, and there's only one really, really long path to make your way through. Even if you can Fly to that blue square in the center-right there's still a huge distance to that city. If you're going for an Unova-style post-game area, then it's probably fine, but otherwise that seems too rough even for the path to the League. I'd still put a small town to be a rest stop around that corner bend.
What are those white striped land routes? I assume blue routes over land are lakes.
Also, what is the significance of red dots vs blue dots?

Hey /heg/,

I haven't played a pokemon game since the GBA and all the hub-bub about Prism made me interested in trying out a game again, basically I'm looking for a romhack recommendation.

So far the ones that look interesting to me are:

Prism, since it's apparently fuck huge and has had a lot of work put into it.

Maize, since it looks interesting and the built-in Nuzlocke sounds like a good challenge.

Dark Energy, the 'classic jrpg' angle sounds cool and lots of content is always nice.

Fire Red Omega, the pastebin says "It'll have you thinking quite a bit more about strategy" rather than just being hard, which peaks my interest more than anything.

I would say mostly I'm looking for a romhack that puts more emphasis on strategy than just difficulty and isn't super unfinished/buggy. Lots of content and minigames are always a plus.
I have absolutely no idea what I should be aiming for here so any and all advice is appreciated.

I think the ones you're thinking of are Eternal X and Wilting Y which afaik are the only good XY romhacks. There's Neo XY too, and I'm not sure about the quality of the actual game, but the changed dialog is super cringey.

For ORAS, there's Rising Ruby and Sinking Sapphire, which are Drayano's hacks although less face-melting hard than BBVW 1 or 2. There's also Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire which are much more difficult and also include some balancing changes. Finally, some anon here made a combination of the two and called it meme Sapphire, though I don't know if they posted it anywhere besides here or you'll have to go archive diving.

Because the pastebin was last updated in a real way in 2014. I want to do a clean-up that removes low-quality hacks and adds newer hacks (the pastebin used right now is an amalgamation of multiple old /rhg/ pastebins, and one was around in like 2010, when standards for hacks were a lot lower), but playing every hack in the pastebin is a lot of work.

I think doing a group project where everyone plays a select 3-4 hacks on the list (not necessarily everyone playing all of them since some people have busy lives) every couple weeks and weighs in on their quality would be a good way to get consensus on what should/shouldn't be in there, but don't know how I should go about it if others also think it's a good idea, whether to do it inside /heg/ threads (I don't want /heg/ to turn into Let's Play General like /rhg/ did at the end of its lifespan) or make a separate thread on /vp/ and have people outside the general join in.

Figuring out scripting without any prior scripting/programming knowledge can be tedious. Changing or adding Pokemon can be tedious. The artistic side can be tedious.
But then, the art can be fun. I love when a map really comes together. Changing the Pokemon can be fun - counting them down, each one a step closer to completion. Scripting can be fun, finally getting an event to work after you've spent days debugging and fucking it up worse and getting zero help because like 3 people get scripting that are willing to help.
Hacking is satisfying, but like all things requires dedication and perseverance to get that satisfaction from.

Guys, give me a good reason not to use that base we fucked with a couple of generals ago - you know the one, with all the megas and most Alola mons added where the pokedex past gen 3 is in spanish.
It's a daunting task replacing all the Pokemon for a custom 386 base when this one has every one (except a few that have sprites available now) and this thing has it all plus ASM stuff already done. Aside the dex (and the weird shit he did to the house tiles in Pallet) it's a really solid foundation for someone with limited time.

https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=364889

Looks like free space (10 bits from 800000) starts at 8C5820
We determined he did NOT expand the rom to 16mb, but I'm not savvy enough to confirm that.
Is there any reason NOT to use this as a base?

Because it was made by a dunce.
The only thing he did was add on Pokemon, which any tool can do these days (although putting in the correct data takes time).

The "ASM stuff" is in MrDollsteak's base, which is essentially what this is - MrDS' base with more Pokemon, minus their correct cries.

How do you guys come up with region names?

Official names always have 5 letters and an 'o' (Sinnoh and sidegames being the only exceptions).

Does the name have to have a meaning of some sort? Sinnoh means mysterious and Hoenn means distant if I'm remembering correctly.

Fuck it, guess I'll just crawl along a couple of replacements at a time. I was delusionally trying to figure out how to make use of all those mons anyways, saying to myself I'd just add another region.
Offhand, do I need to expand the rom to 16 mb if I want to add more regions? I know I probably won't get that far, but is it better to do so just to be on the safe side?

Oops, yeah I meant 32mb. How big is fuck-huge? I'm keeping a 386 (but with 98 replacements) and adding a few maps but expanding many others, I've toyed with adding another region since day one though.
I know I'd probably need to expand the available number of trainers (and therefore flags) and that does require expanding the rom to 32mb, but still unsure if I want to commit.

Sounds like you won't need to expand the rom.
Maps don't actually take that much space.

As for the trainers, noone has actually successfully expanded trainers without bugs.
Every trainer has its own flag in RAM, so you'd need to change the memory allocation. No idea how, and haven't seen anyone who's tried it.

Why would you need more than 742 trainers, anyway?
A lot of them aren't even used by the game.

Also, if you're familiar with scripting already, and want to have some sort of facility with a lot of trainers, have a look at this: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=8877758&postcount=662

This way, you could use the same Trainer ID over and over, and it would have random Pokemon selected from the table you make.
(I'm not sure if this always gives the trainer 6 pokemon, or of it's dependant on the original trainer data's amount though)

Here are the other parts, for trainer name and sprite randomization:

Morality based evolution looks rad as fug, but it's a difficult concept to handle in a fun way.

Now, you should gauge how much will you count on the surprise factor. Some NPC in some city can tell how much are you into a certain morality factor if you're going to do that.
And you should gauge how complex will you make that system too. Maybe by gauging how often does a player put a Pokemon in the PC maybe?

I'm interested in music hacking more than in a complete hack, but I haven't any experience in hacking Pokemon ROMs' music yet. I have looked some disassemblies and the music engine looks neat, almost in a score format, but I'm afraid you can't do some cool effects like they do in some games like Mega Man, as they would take a lot of ROM space.

It can kind of be whatever, I think. Obviously Alola is based on aloha and Kalos is based on kαλλονή (pronounced something like Kalloni) which is Greek for beauty. I vaguely remember reading that Unova comes from the words unity and nova (new). Kanto is the name of the irl location that Kanto is based on, and I have no idea about either Isshu or Johto.

Basically, something related to the theme of the region.

Welp, that guy has a point.
I don't want to infringe on Nintendo's or Gamefreak's intellectual property.
From this point on, I will no longer continue work on Meta Mercury or any future pokémon related fan projects.
To keep the work of the company in their hands, I won't be releasing any source code either.
There's plenty I can still do. Maybe start a Monster Hunting game for another platform.
I could go make some games for the Play Store.
I guess this frees up some time to enjoy life.
Chase girls, get rejected by girls, hell, maybe even fap to a loli here and there.

Prism had exactly 253 Pokémon, the current cap on how many you can have. You could have as many as you want (at least until you run out of room to hold the data) if you expanded all the code in the game to use two bytes for Pokémon indexes instead of one, but that's a large "if" and a lot of work. Someone did that work already in Red, though.

There are a few Gen 6 difficulty hacks.

For XY, Eternal X and Wilting Y are your only option unless you want to laugh at how fucking horrible Neo XY is. It makes trainers harder, buffs shitmons, and rearranges the wild distribution to somehow have even fucking more Pokémon than XY already did.

ORAS has a few more options, with Rising Ruby/Sinking Sapphire, Rutile Ruby/Star Sapphire, and Meme Sapphire.

Rising/Sinking is made by Drayano60, if you've ever played one of his past hacks like Blaze Black you know what to expect, if not it makes trainers moderately harder, buffs shitmons, and changes wild distribution.

Rutile/Star does NOT buff shitmons and only has "official" wildmons (the wild distribution is identical to vanilla ORAS post-National Dex), done so anything caught in that hack can be transferred to the official games. It's also much harder than Rising/Sinking (Rising/Sinking is balanced with the Exp. Share being turned off in mind, Rutile/Star is balanced with the Exp. always being on and the player rotating Pokémon to gain advantage over bosses). Expect to fight trainers with Legendaries.

Meme Sapphire is an amalgamation of the above two hacks, with the brutal trainer rosters of Rutile/Star and the shitmon buffs and wild distribution of Rising/Sinking.

from what I recall, Kanto through to Sinnoh aren't even unique names, they're literally just the names of the actual areas in Japan.

I noticed that apparent pattern too, of 5 letters and the o (with those exceptions and all). Your region doesn't necessarily have to follow that, really you can make your region name anything you want it to be. Following the pattern might make it a little more "pokemon-like" but that's all it will really do, you should feel free to choose either way.

That said, like >>31289811 mentioned, I like to go for something based on or related to the region. My region is based on California. So, I used "Cali" + "au" (element name for gold) + five letters rule + "o" rule. Thus, my region is the "Caulo" region.

Besides, even if Sage does gets C&D'd, this is 4chan. It's gonna be shared around anyway. Even Prism is still being downloaded.

I'm playing around with the idea of making a fangame that includes the ability to inject Pokémon from Sun and Moon so people can use their own Pokémon in the game and later export them and inject them back into Sun and Moon. A thing I've been thinking about is how Ribbons would work with this, as I really want to use pre-Gen 7 Ribbons seeing as Sun and Moon only has a mere 7 Ribbons available. Does things like Pokémon Bank ban Pokémon that have Ribbons they normally cannot have? Or do they not care about that smallstuff and therefore not check for it?

If you can export your save file, then you're good to go. This should be easy though, with the new SoundHax that was released not long ago that makes getting Homebrew easier than it has ever been (literally).

Just export your save, open PKHex or a similar program, export your Box 1, place the file on your SD Card in a folder that the game will utilize, and click "Import" in-game. Same goes for exporting, just in reverse.

This is theoretically speaking of course, but it should all very much be possible.

There's no Super Training by default, but it should be really easy to implement if you get into some mild scripting.
There are plenty of minigames you can award EVs for.
You can also set up berry fields with just mapping alone.
Luka SJ has a couple scripts that make the title and battle scene look similar to the later games.
What are you looking for in particular?

You shouldn't have to worry about your game being obsolete as long as you focus on it's quality. Legacy versions of games are a thing for a reason, and people play older Pokémon games all the time.

Injecting is save editing. The "hacking" in this general refers to ROMhacking, editing the Pokémon games to change or add content, or create an entirely new fangame with the ROM as a base (like what Prism did with Crystal).

In order to render maps in 3D, you have to rewrite the entire map system, meaning all the tweaks done by Maruno for essentials are incompatible and Essentials wont run.
What I'll end up having to do is write another method of 3D mapping that can run alongside the Essentials version.

and consequentially, not yet.

Making a fan version of something can be easier to do creatively, since you have a resource to work off of that you presumably already enjoy (meaning, you already know that it's good whereas with an original work, you won't know until it's finished.) We are naturally inspired by other works, so it makes sense that people create fan versions of many things. It usually starts with fan art, where people (usually younger) simply draw the characters unchanged. But, as you get more creative, you eventually start to create more original works, and thus fan games that push the envelope are formed. Eventually, the more creative you get and depending on what you want to do, you start to create more original works. However, it should be noted that in reality, nothing is truly original or new. There's typically always some inspiration or influences that come into play, even if we don't always see them.

As for me and fan games specifically, I strive to become a game designer who can do interesting things with my game mechanics. I don't intend to copy Pokemon games "word for word." I want to add my own ideas that might change how the game is experienced. And if it's something I feel Game Freak would never do, then all the better.

It's a free creative outlet. I've given some thought to this - it's essentially fan fiction. Look at Star Trek; Star Trek fan-films (and Star Wars too for that matter) have been a staple of the fandom since the original series. Hell, Star Trek practically invented fan-fiction!
But only when Axanar (and probably Renegades, desu) began merchandising too close to an official release (Discovery) did Paramount (or CBS, it's confusing and I'm not looking it up) drop the hammer on them. 50 years of filmed fan fiction with several multi-episode series and now there are strict rules.
Something similar happened with Nintendonowrong and Prism. Just as Axanar, Prism was too high profile a release too close to an official asset for corporate comfort.
Now, why do I make a fan game? Because I enjoy creating maps, and I enjoy coming up with the plot and putting my own spin on established characters and events. I like the idea that after I'm done I will be able to play my own unique, customized Pokemon adventure built on an official release. I like the idea that when my kid is old enough to discover Pokemon, I can put it on an old phone and let him play it and he can look at his dad in awe. "My dad made a Pokemon game! And it's fun!" Might be too sentimental or mature a notion for /vp/, but it's something I've given thought to.
I don't know why Nintendo or GF won't take advantage of the community's desire to create their own Pokemon adventures. Bethesda wholeheartedly supports their modding scene, and it gives their major releases longevity past what they might have - my dude I am STILL playing Morrowind 15 years after it was released because of the various possible mod builds (Rebirth, Tamriel Rebuilt, the Telvanni mods, and a million other modular small mods to tweak the experience.) Fuck, look at Skyrim, 6 years old this year, no new release in sight and still going strong thanks to modding.
