>>56343788Ohhhh that's pretty interesting, like a Steelworker for fire type. Love that kinda stuff, but my greedy ass would want that combined with a Flash Fire type of ability too, if only because two 4x weaknesses is a lot and also starter privilege lol. Maybe that's why I'm not the idea guy though.
>>56343691I think it's burn out to some degree, and a lot of these amazing hack creators have high quality standards so I doubt they wanna rush shit out.
---The creator of Gaia had to literally port over the entire game to the Emerald Decomp iirc, which would be a massive timesink alone because iirc it means they also had to start from scratch. Then there's all the new sprites, mechanics, music, and potentially 3 new gens of mons to add in and spread out?, also the post-game areas and scripting.
---The creator of Inclement Emerald has 2 more gens to add if they want all the new stuff, more custom megas and abilities in the works, and they're working on the updated Battle Frontier.
---The creator of Unbound is pretty burnt out from what I heard, but they still need to wrap up the huge cliffhanger from the main story, add the final boss in, and potentially gen 9 mons?
---The creator of Radical Red recently added the rest of gen 9, new character choices asides from Red/""Leaf"", some new UI stuff, and lots of custom shinies.
---The creator of Black & White 3: Genesis is also planning to use Polish Crystal as the new base for their hack, which I think also means starting from scratch? In exchange that mean modern PC boxes, adding more than 255(?) mons overall, and ability implementation.
It's a lot of stuff these guys have on their plate, even when they're in the "final stretch". It does suck to wait though, but they can't legally profit from hacks so it is what it is.
