What romhacks have you played lately? Any you recommend?

https://tiermaker.com/create/pokemon-rom-hacks-and-fan-games-comprehensive-1318645

For a few hacks not on this list:
I'd probably put Gold 97 Reforged lower in "Really Fucking Good"
Black & White 3: Genesis in either "Holy Peak" or "Really Fucking Good"
Emerald Kaizo in "Really Fucking Good"
Crystal Kaizo in "They Cooked"
And move Renegade Platinum up to "Holy Peak" if you include Following Platinum and Altered Platinum.
All just my opinion, I tried to order it but a lot of these are interchangeable.

If you want to play some schizo bullshit try Emerald Enhanced. It has factions and player skills alongside the pokemon stuff, and it lets you fuck Nurse Joy.

I really enjoyed the fakedex in Solar Light/ Lunar Dark. It was a relatively simple game but it had charm and a lot of love clearly went into it. I'd recommend it.

from on your list that I've played:
>reborn
gave up at the second gym, got filtered hard by the lack of pokemon available and the weather effects
that said, from what I played it was pretty awesome, I loved the map design and soundtrack
>vega
completely fucked, designing a ton of fakemon and making 95% unviable is stupid, and the gym puzzles were a pain in the arse
gave up at the second gym after getting wrecked by perfect coverage hitmonchan and only beating the first because I overtrained the water starter
vega minus, however, is fantastic (difficulty is more reasonable)
>dreams
fun, but the fakemon are ugly, the dex is bloated and the trannyshit is annoying
enjoyed collecting the tms and the map though
>flora sky
reasonably fun, but outdated in terms of features. great to see how far pokemon rom hacks have come
>dark violet
really fun. one of the best ways to play through kanto. shame the creator never finished it, so the postgame is nonexistent.
>light platinum
again, fun but extremely outdated. the whole second map you can't save so you have to use save states, and the free pseudo legendaries and shit gets old really quickly

cannot praise this hack enough. never beaten it but the creativity involved is astounding. deserves to be in peak, difficulty is reasonably hard but fair, fakemon are funny, opponents are funny, soundtrack is great.

I used to get annoyed by the Radical Red whining on here and chalked it up to casuals/contrarians (at the risk of spunding elitist), but after all my runs I thought about it some more and I do think there should be a better Easy Mode implemented for RR.

The Easy Mode only really takes out opponent EV's (irrelevant in Min Grinding Mode), lets you use items (I can't stand the thought anymore personally), lets ypu use Shift Mode (not a fan of this either), and lowers the levels a bit I believe. Cumulatively a pretty big nerf to the difficulty but maybe not in the way some people would want? It does exist though which makes the complaining a bit annoying.
In terms of raw QoL and gameplay efficiency it's unparalelled imo, asides from Unbound runs with the God Scanner that is. And unlike the newer official instalments it actually does have'em all.

Here they are, I guess I'll start with the order I played them
>Pokemon This Gym of Mine
Short game, it has a cool concept of being a gym leader but I don't think it goes far enough with the idea. You specialize in a type but are allowed two mons that don't have that type on your team, I dunno why. Also mon selection is bad, as there are way more of some types than others.
>Pokemon Insurgence
Actually really good, the story is pretty reddity but it has a nice level of challenge to it. It adds some replayability because of the optional challenges you can enable at the start of the game. It's the game that got me into doing solo runs with Delcatty.
>Pokemon WaterRed
FireRed but with recolored fakemons. That's it
>Pokemon Gaia
Pretty good, it plays alot like an official game than most other romhacks. Only real complaint is this game hands out way too much xp like most Romhacks but doesn't have the challenge to compensate for it, so it gets really easy later on despite being decently challenging early.
>Pokemon Snakewood
This game is terrible, I love it. The game has unfair trainer battles and terrible puzzles. It has the worst story I have ever seen in a fan game. While sometimes genuinely funny, a lot of it's humor falls flat on its back to. It is torturous to play through. It is a must play.
>Pokemon Unbound
It is really good. Fights usually have some gimmick to them, which some don't like but I thought they made things interesting. What I hate is the level scaling, it makes fighting enemy trainers feel like a waste of time, since fights get harder the higher level I am. You have to play on Vanilla(pussy mode) in order to play without level scaling. Overall its around the same quality as Insurgence, but I liked Insurgence more.
PART 1/2

>Pokemon Sors (currently playing)
Not very interesting. Game is character focused but none of the characters are interesting. All the dialogue is reddit garbage, MC looks like he belongs in Paldea(I mean that in a bad way). They have unique mechanic called Eclipsing which permanently changes the type of a Pokemon into Eclipse-type and allows it to learn new Eclipse moves. Only problem is the game doesn't give you alot of resources to eclipse your Pokemon and not all Pokemon are allowed to eclipse. You barely fight any eclipsed Pokemon as well. It is such a wasted opportunity. The game also made random nerfs to some mons, like Delcatty be unable to learn Work Up. This game does not make me a happy camper.
>Conclusion
I highly recommend Insurgence Snakewood and Unbound. Gaia is good too. This gym of mine is okay and really short, so it is worth a shot if the concept is interesting. WaterRed is barely different from FireRed so I guess it's fine if you want to spice up a play-through of that game.
I do not recommend Sors.

>>56075738
Solid list!
If you enjoyed Buffel Saft's Inclement Emerald so much you might wanna try out Eternal X/Wilting Y and Photonic Sun/Prismatic Moon all made by him, great hacks imo. They aren't quite on the "same level" in some ways as IE, but it uses the Emerald Decompilation project so it has a few more creative freedoms compared to 3D romhacking.
Blazing Emerald is one I have my eyes on atm, pic related.

I'm working on one for Crystal. I hope it will become popular after it's finished. The problem is, I don't know how to create a separate IPS patch since I'm doing it in assembly. I only know how to build the full ROM which technically I can't distribute legally. Or does that not really matter anymore?

Yeah I think you'll need to figure put how to make a patch somehow, cuz like you said hosting and distributing actual roms is illegal. I never trust pre-patched roms either personally. Sites like PokeHarbour do carry them though if it's the only way.

I have a theory. Romhack devs develop their games 90% and then quit leaving it permanently unfinished so nintendo doesn't pay attention to them. A final full release of a game always generates more press than a 5 year long early access period.

Has there been anything exciting or new to come out after radred/unbound? I remember everyone was hype over new fire red engine and I remember seeing demos of stuff, but afaik nothing ever took off. Drayano has also been radio silent for 8 months so no news on his upgraded gen 4 hacks.

I think it's a really solid romhack overall, tons of QoL, new areas to help put Pokemon distribution and help the region feel fresh, battles against Frontier Brains, you can choose between 3 difficulty modes, revamped exp share, new Megas, Pokemon rebalancing and buffs across the board, and a lot more.

You could argue it should just be in "Really Fucking Good", with most of the other enhancenent/difficulty hacks, but since Gen 8 (and 9?), mons, an Insanity Mode, A.I overhaul, a drastically overhauled and updated Battle Frontier, and an extended post-game are all currently in the works it might've biased my choice a bit. Even without all that though it's still my current favourite way to play through Hoenn.
For all the RR haters they should find the difficulty much more manageable, even on Insane Mode. Buffel Saft's hacks resemble Drayano's quite a bit.

Well it does more than that, but yeah. Harder difficulty with more Pokemon and up to date mechanics goes a long way in adding replayability to such an old game. With every Pokemon run I explicitly try to use Pokemon I've never used before, that's a million times easier in games like RR for instance. Regular games can be beaten by 5 year olds, so I appreciate the "number tweakers" out there. Plenty of romhacks have almost vanilla-tier difficulty if that's more your speed, try out Gaia!

>>56084870
Mega Flygon in IE goes kinda hard though... but yeah new megas and regionals aren't for everybody, I've grown to appreciate them though.

Rebalances are super based imo, so many Pokemon are just fucked from the start without SOMETHING to keep them in the game. Like Gigalith in IE is a special attacker with access to moves like Thunderbolt and Dazzling Gleam, very cool spin on an otherwise generic but cool Rock type. Golisopod finally gets a non-Emergency Exit ability in Shell Armor. Meganium is given Triage and the fairy type for priority Giga Drains and Draining Kisses with Earth Power for coverage. Hitmontop is given an ability that makes its punching moves have priority, which is fucked but so fun to use.

I don't think IE has any new moves and very minimum new abilities iirc... now Elite Redux (which uses Inclement Emerald as a base) on the other hand.. lmao.

No you fucking retard. Babies first number tweaker is the laziest faggot tier kind of "enhancement" to mod a game, and if you take Kanto and add 800 pokemon to it you completely fuck the distribution rates and it becomes a completely schizophrenic bloated slog to play through. It doesn't make any sort of fucking sense to have 50 different species of pokemon on a route. These utter troglodytes who keep adding 700 pokemon to a tiny vanilla region are complete mongoloids with no inner monologue.

Radical Red whiners don't even play the game bro.
From the beginning you can input the code "DexAll" into the SNES in the players toom to mske all DexNav Pokemon immediately count as "seen", then once you get the DexNav after Viridian City you can see all the Pokemon in any given area and instantly search for them. Lots of alternate forms and such are day/night exclusive, in Professor Oak's office one of his aides gives you an item to change the time of day.

Biggest fucking non-issue ever. That being said I still use codes to start with 6 Pokemon of my choice everytime because I hate waiting until some arbitrary point in the game to have my whole team, but if you play regularly scoping out and finding the next mon you wanna use is instantaneous. Nature changing is free, minimal grinding mode is godlike, ability changing is soooo easy by Saffron. You have so many tools man.

It's the shittiest, lowest effort kind of romhack in existence. Clover and Unbound shit all over it on every observable metric by having a new region or fakemon instead of the official pokemon.

That's totally fine bro, I usually don't play any game or romhack more than once in a row so I get that, but the gameplay of RR and the diversity of buffed mons available definitely had me willing to do back to back runs, one of my runs was just using an identical team as my all-hisuian PLA team because I hated the lack of battles in that game and some of them (Sharpness Samurott-H, Guts Ursaluna, Rock Head Arcanine-H, fucking Sneasler) are just busted. Also if you like fakemons you might like the Seviian forms in RR, even the weakest of them is strong.

But yeah, dusty ass Kanto is always gonna be dusty ass Kanto, I liked the plotline they added with Cerulean Cave where you team up with Lance, but otherwise it's bog standard, purely gameplay-focused hack for me. I just turn on 4/8x speed and put on a livestream or something, check off 6 Pokemon from the list, and watch as fucking Maushold makes the game its bitch.

I do give massive points to games like Unbound, Gaia, Prism, and Glazed amongst others for including whole new regions with new characters and spritework, stories, ect. Those all take a gargantuan effort and definitely deserve their own degree of dick-sucking. But I can still appreciate all the work that goes into enhancement hacks to implement all the things they do, those become the definitive version of the game for me, playing games like SV and ...BDSP... make me appreciate them even more, Renegade Platinum just shits all over BDSP, there's even a Following mon patch for it.
How do you feel about a game like Black and White 3: Genesis? It's a familiar region in Unova, but re-created in Crystal with some updated mechanics, moves, items, Pokemon, and a new story with a few new characters. Where do you draw the line?

Since there's no other hack thread up, I'll ask here. I'm adding an egg move tutor, and I want it to be expensive so there's still reason to breed, but it'll fix up egg move incompatibilities and be handy for more complex chains.
Would it be better to require a very rare singular item, or multiple copies of a more common item that's used by the move reminder?
As an example, I thought about requiring a Star Piece, that you can find in 6/255 smashed rocks. Or 5-10 Brick Pieces that are 48/255 from the same source.

Base Fire Red's main campaign has only 151 available, several being trade/version/event exclusive.
Radical Red has over 1000 self-contained, and nearly all of them have been buffed and updated with new tools in their kit. They also have Seviian forms and a Palworld mon. I get what you're trying to say but at least make it make sense.

>>56089721
Personally I love egg tutor inclusions and have never taken the time or wanted to breed for egg moves in-game.
Maybe you could do what Emerald Kaizo does with having several invisible Heart Scales (or similar) strewn about the region that can be used to learn exclusive moves (egg moves in this case)? Just my 2cents, also like the other anons idea of multiple common items.

Cool, maybe someone can help me.
When I was a kid Sapphire made a bad summer into a bearable one for me, and I was looking forward to going back to Hoenn after all these years.

I'm looking for an Emerald vanilla hack with QoL additions and modernized mechanics and movesets, but without adding new pokemon beyond gen3.
Something that has a day/night cycle (always bothered me) and that maybe doesn't tamper too much with the encounter pools?

Niceee, I've heard good things about Pizzaboy. My B about having a free version, guess it's only the OldBoy! app with a free lite version. I might've assumed too because I heard recently they made DraStic free too, been using it for years to emulate DS games and romhacks and I might prefer it over any emulator on my laptop, MelonDS is pretty good though.

Unbound is def peak, but the other hacks out there have so much to offer too, and there's still a lot of replayability value out of Unbound alone.
My last 2 runs of Umbound I actually downloaded a save file off Reddit with a shiny living dex in the PC and more importantly a "GodScanner", that shit carries over in NG+ and it pretty much means you get Sandbox Mode without the drawbacks of being locked out of post-game! Normally you need a black star trainer card to get it which I'm slowly chipping away at. You can even transfer 6 mons holding items from the PC and they devolve/de-level too. Things like that put it at the top of the list for me. Might not recommend it on the first run because NG+ completes some parts of the game by itself so you'd miss out on some puzzles and shit.

Beautiful Gif.
I think the keyword you wanna use in Google for a hack like that would be "Emerald 386 romhacks" or something like that.
Just skimmed through the Pokecommunity page for "Emerald Final" and it looks like it has what you want, only 386 mons with optional 4th gen evos, optional day/night cycle (which I agree Hoenn could've used), updated mechanics, tons of QoL.
Honestly I might have to try it myself, it sounds awesome!

Hope this is what you're looking for bro :]

So far I'm definitely getting the love. The opening scene was a bit out of place, and not getting new starters was a bit of a bummer (though the way they were introduced was super cool), but everything else has felt so genuine and entertaining. The first gym got a good laugh outta me "weed, bro" and all. It's also fun realizing just how many pokemon are gonna be in the game and how they aren't going to be locked behind anything other than just playing it.

Hitting this and Super Mystery Dungeon back to back has got to be the most fun I've had with vidya in a long, long while.

I started playing my first Pokemon romhack the other day, Pokemon Mega Emerald X Y. I noticed it isn't on the list. Apparently it has all legendaries from 1-6 and all pokemon, with leveling replacing trading or stone evolutions. It plays pretty vanilla for now.

I like Gold / Silver and the remakes the most. any GBA romhacks I should look into? I also have Krystal Kaizo and Darkfire downloaded.
I'd like to play something that feels a bit more modded from the start. Any reccomendations for GBA hacks? I didn't see most of the ones on this list when I looked into it at first.

Oh, I didn't expect someone would actually put some effort behind a modded day/night cycle, but they went and gave it different palettes for the morning and sunset times. That's fantastic, it may be what I was looking for, thanks.

Is there a romhack in the vein of touhoumon etc. but where Pokemon characters are the Pokemon?
It feels like an obvious idea but I don't think I've seen such a thing.

i think so
not sure why you would want to, it's already hard enough on difficult and the amount of exp given makes it meaningless to fight the trainers between the hard bosses that your party gets level capped to
besides that it's a great game but the balance could use some work

Just figured the option might be nice. I was reading that before ver 2.1 you were locked into the highest difficulty you would choose unless you started a new game, but couldn't find anything on the final version of the game.

So it looks like on your playthrough you can only go to the highest difficulty you've set it to, on new game+ you can go as high as insane, but like you said, people pretty much find that difficulty miserable as you have to play a very specific meta the whole way through. Pre-2.1 you just had to completely start a new game to change to a higher difficulty.

I even used ev training for some of my team and got my best breloom which was able to easily sweep a few bosses but the moment that didn't work I got swept the difficulty was on the extremes you either set up the sweep or it's impossible to deal damage and you get swept by some bosses.

And here I am, an old genwunner having trouble with remembering the type matchups and having half my team wiped on normal trainers.

Still, Unbound is doing a good job making the aspects that turned me off in later games much more approachable.

Glad you've been liking it so far! Merskle's whole gym had me cheesing too, some people think it's dumb but those are liberties hack creators get to have so I love seeing it.

Honestly just the amount of Pokemon all being available and self-contained was my first big draw when I stumbled upon and started reading up on my first hack back in 2013, FireRed Omega:
https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-fire-red-omega-in-game-discussion-tiering.3480788/
Seeing the list of over 30 Pokemon available before Pewter City made me so excited, the freedom to use whatever is still one of my favourite things in any romhack, and in Unbound that's only dialed up when you have 5 more gens to choose from.

FYI though if you weren't aware, gen 8 mon implementation is really weird in Unbound. There's 1 available in most areas, but they only appear through shaking grass that can take a long time to appear, and I think you need to already have a gen 8 mon registered as caught and a dexnav for them to even appear. If there's any you wanted to use I ironically would prolly just recommend an encounter modifier cheat code:
https://www.pokemoncoders.com/pokemon-unbound-cheats/

While I'm linking stuff I might as well link that New Game+ perfect save file I was talking about if you or anyone else is interested:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonUnbound/comments/yq7gdv/comment/ivn12pw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
In the Google Drive link I would recommend to just use the save file for 2.1.0 instead of 2.1.1 because the latter only has one gen of a shiny living dex split up amongst 9 saves, in the 2.1.0 save they're all in one save.

Sorry for the text wall lol.
>>56100956
OST is amazing in Unbound I agree, most hacks don't have full custom music, and it's so good too.

>>56102479
No problem :) I love the pallete changes based on the time of day too.
Thanks for name dropping the artist btw, love me some pixel art!

Last new one I played was Pokemon Pathways, I am really impressed at the way they've revamped and used exsisting pokemon mechanics in a very different manner, it's all very impressive and plays really well without changing the core mechanics of the game, espcially for someone like me how loves time routing maximaztion nonsense the game lets you do. My one gripe is that the raids they've implemented are geninuly impossible to get streaks in which sucks because the rewards are way too good so you end up doing a lot of reseting just to get at least one good item out of it.

Nope, but current amount of content stretches around 10-20ish hours depending on your autism scale, the end point also has a level of finality even if it isn't the end of the game.

Serious question, is there a game that actually followed through on the "Johto is Kanto's backyard" argument?
By that I mean, a game that expands Johto and makes the whole game take place there.
