>>56328615>>56328828Look, I grew up with pokemon. I had every single game from RBY to BW2 (never got a 3ds or switch). But I'm an adult now, with way less free time. I don't have 8+ hours of gaming a day and Pokemon isn't the only game I want to play. I appreciate not using speedup in Pokemon, since frame speedup is god awful, but if someone makes a romhack that doesn't have battle animation speedup (ala emerald rogue, I really should make a webm of the comparison between that and vanilla games) then I won't even play the game. It's not worth my time spending hours every single day simply just watching it take 30 seconds for a life bar to drain, on top of 5 seconds for the move animation, and 5 seconds to load from grass to battle, and 10 seconds for the trainer animations to play and the pokemon to come out, and then all the time it needs to take to play "X has fainted, Y has leveled up, Z wants to learn a new move, here are some stats, trainer is sending out X" which takes another 30 or so seconds.
Emerald Rogue, the entire wild battle, catching and all, is like 10 seconds max. It's so nice, I expect every romhack going forward to be like this or else it's a shit romhack.
