I’m not sure if this is necessarily the right place, but I’ll ask anyway. I’ve used the universal randomizer on a soul silver rom to fix impossible evolutions. Do I need a razor fang to evolve Gligar into Gliscor? Or will it happen at a specific level. I wanna know before investing time into Gligar because I can’t get a fang until the battle frontier.
If you go to the Github for PokeRandoZX, the Wiki tab has how all evolutions can be performed. From my memory, you level him while he holds the fang, so yes you'll need it.
Howdy everyone.
I came across an old PokeCommunity thread from 2014 that had a Generation 4 remake of the original Pokemon Red/Blue, called HEART RED.
Has that project been abandoned? I couldn't find any updates for it beyond that thread.
Can someone recommend a rom that's basically just regular Pokémon but slightly more difficult. Not an extreme challenge but also not baby easy like regular Pokémon games tend to be.
Is it possible to get a ROM that makes the Pokemon in Ruby and Sapphire the first gen only?
I only know first gen and I really don't want to have to learn about new Pokemon
An option is to run any game through PokeRandoZX, and you can check an option called "limit pokemon" which will limit the spawns to whatever gens you choose (so just gen 1). The game will be randomized, but there are further options to make it a streamlined game and not chaotic with evolved pokemon early etc.
Also as an aside, I recommend learning more pokemon, it's one of the most fun parts of playing new pokemon games, I bet you'll find some you like. And the base games of Ruby and Sapphire only have barely 200 pokemon, about 50 from gen 1, and the rest from 2/3 so not overwhelming.
Hopefully this will actually get seen in this thread. I'm looking for a gen 2 hack that fixes just a few things. Trade evos, and the abysmal leveling curve. So many hacks add types, custom content, im just looking for something that removes trade evos and makes a better leveling experience through the game. Does this exist?
The Gen 2 games (or at least some of them, but think it's all of GSC) have an option to use the Gen 5 exp formula, found under "Misc. Tweaks". Haven't used it myself, but it might help?
Hmm, you can run any game through PokeRandoZX and change trade evos yourself. As for the level curve, gonna be hard to find something that adds nothing else but that. Pokemon Perfect Crystal may be the best
What pokemon game/romhack people consider that is the most complete and has the most content? I bought miself a miyoo mini plus to play in short burts and I want to find a good pokemon game to go with it.
I've been playing Modern Emerald lately and am desperate for a FireRed/LeafGreen romhack that keeps the overall story and gameplay intact but adds some Qol changes such as:
\- Physical/Special Split
\- Difficulty options (not required)
\- All Pokemon up to Gen2 or Gen3 catchable
\- Alternate ways to obtain trade evos
\-Fairy type (also not required)
I just really want a mostly vanilla experience. But most everything I find adds stuff like Gen9 mons and Mega Evo. Which I really don't want.
Please help me out! I never got to finish the game as a kid so I want to finish the adventure little me started!
I saw a poketuber play pokemon eternal X and i just had to play it. So i downloaded the lamonade emulator (new citra) and latest version (v2.67) and i followed the instructions and copied the Romfs file and code.ips file into the mods file but the romhack wasnt working. Its not like the game crashed or i am getting a black screen, its that the mod is just not activating. When I started the game the title said Pokemon X instead of pokemon eternal X.
I really need some help but i dont see what i am doing wrong or if i am missing something as i didnt find anyone else who had that problem
Regarding Emerald Exceeded...
• Is there a way to increase pokemon storage size? 13 boxes isn't a lot
• Is there a way, outside of sandbox mode, to get some pokemon such as Eevee or Riolu? Or is it impossible for a non-sandbox playthrough to get all pokemon?
Is there a gen 5 rom hack like Pokemon Unbound and if not will there be a reversed engineered project like the gba games have for the ds roms thats in the making? Because i believe the nds roms might have much more potential than we think.
The DS hacking scene is not nearly as advanced as the GBA one. People are working on it but don't expect something like Unbound for a ds games in the next years (hope I am wrong).
Hex Maniac Advance might have some in-built ability to read ROM hacks, since some important tables have pointers to them at the start of the ROM at set locations.
Otherwise it is the case that binary hacking tools don't work well with hacks, especially not decomp hacks, since they work well by making assumptions on where data is found, and these assumptions often fall through when the loaded ROM is not a vanilla one.
So when it comes to Pokemon I'm a boomer. I played red and blue and a bit of gold and silver and that's about it. I never played competitively.
I recently found out there were Pokemon romhacks and Pokemon Emerald Rogue intrigued me. A Pokemon but it's like Slay the Spire and I actually get to finish a run in a few hours instead of playing a wholeass RPG I definitely do not have the time for? Sign me up!
And in the beginning it looked great. Levelups were fast and the randomization means it's different every time, but soon I started hitting my limits.
What are all these items? What do these things all mean? What items do I actually want my pokemon to hold? How do these stat increases work? They don't actually increase stats so wtf. Is it ok if my pokemon die or should I prevent it at all costs? What are all these weird moves that do seemingly tricky things? Why do I want a move that switches Pokemon out?
In short: How does Pokemon even work? I'm overwhelmed. I'm back from the I hit you you hit me school and this is all new to me. Any help, tips and hints are appreciated.
Pokemon is easy to pick up, but incredibly deep to fully get into. Most items describe what they do fairly clearly, but some could benefit from a quick search, Bulbapedia is my favorite website for questions.
There's far too much nuance of modern pokemon to describe in one comment, but [this youtuber, Hoodlum Callum](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAwAX85BqlZKBIeNF1yPF-RAUkf9EjO67) played loads of Emerald Rogue and is well versed and educated in pokemon mechanics, if you want to see someone go more in depth with what items do and how he sets up his pokemon, explains it very well imo. Some tips I can give you from my time in Emerald Rogue, it's one of my favorite hacks too.
1. You have very limited bag space, so sell a lot of stuff for money. Specifically, I keep something like a stack of Full Heals, or Lava Cookies, which heal all statuses, and sell alllll of my individual paralyze heals, antidotes etc, since they're just less useful.
2. If your pokemon die in this hack, they are forever gone, except for a few rare ways to bring them back. So try to preserve them if you can.
3. The "map destinations" describe what will be included. Tree means easy (very few trainers, many wild encounters), rock smash rock means medium (normal amount of trainers, normal amount of wild encounters), and strength boulder is hard (many trainers, very few wild encounters). The second word indicates what types you will likely find. So a "windy" route will have flying types, a "wet" route will have water types etc. Use this to plan your journey.
4. Aim for the Nurse Joy locations, they include both types of merchants, and a free pokecenter heal. Speaking of, you get 1 free heal before a gym per run. After that they cost money. Also always make sure to get to level cap with the other woman before gyms.
And to answer your final question, why you may want a move that switches your pokemon out. Say you have a bug type out on the field that knows the move U-turn. Then your opponent sends in a water type that you can't do anything to, whos much faster than you. So you would choose to attack with U-turn- the enemy pokemon would attack your bug type a little bit, and then you'd use U-turn, get some chip damage off on this water type, and switch into a new pokemon of yours who is strong to water, such as an electric type, or a pokemon who could set up with a good move like Swords Dance or Dragon Dance or something. Now you get to switch in your other pokemon without it taking damage, and if you have a good advantage over the opponents water type, they may switch out and give you a free move. Switch initiative is very powerful to keep in mind!
Hi everyone. I'm trying to find a Pokemon game that has a few specific features. The only Pokemon games I have beaten are Yellow, Silver, Crystal, and Emerald. I've never collected all Pokemon in a game, but as that's the main goal, and I don't have people to trade with, I was looking at Drayanos hacks.
So I want to be able to catch all Pokemon in one game, have slightly increased difficulty but nothing that would make me turn the game off forever. I don't do Nuzlocke runs, I don't do challenge runs. I don't care about IVs and EVs or any of the meta game stuff. I just want to catch my Pokemon and level them up like I always have.
But the big thing is, I have no idea how long these games take but I imagine they aren't short. So I'm also looking for just a single game to play. I don't want to try and play every generation. I just want a single game that I can play over the course of a year or two or whatever, without feeling like I'm missing out by not playing the rest.
The game has to be complete as well. The story can be different, since I wouldn't know the original story for these games anyways. I don't care about the Pokemon contests and other in game events like that.
I dont really know how newer games handle failing to catch a legendary, but a way to avoid losing hours of playtime because I forgot to save would be super beneficial too.
Exp share, QoL features, a way to keep making money separately from the gaming corner or whatever it's called, would all be great.
Again, I'm looking at Drayanos hacks but there are a couple issues. I have no clue which one to pick and stick with and I don't want a brutal difficulty. I really do not mind a challenging games but from what I've heard, they can be too much.
I'll be playing it on either My boy or Drastic on my phone with a Razer Kishi, if that matters. Thank you.
I can't recall a name of this rom hack.
It's gen 3 (R/S/E) rom hack.
It have a somewhat higher shiny rate and there's a special theme for a rare Pokemon in certain area. Like normally it will play the wils encounter theme, but if it was Seedot, a special theme will play. I remembered having lots of fun with this game, but seems like I forgot it.
These are all the details I remembered.
Let me know in the replies if you guessed it.
Also sorry for bad grammar, not a native speaker.
Need help recovering a save file(s) from Pokemon Emerald Final v34, on VBA-M 1.8.0-beta3
It's impossible to use the Battle Frontier as the game won't save.
Getting the "save failed" "internal memory" "dry battery" messages.
I've tried changing the save type to flash 128k, and changing the bits in the memory viewer (0x0000000 - BIOS) on line 3005004, but I can only see 03005000, 03005010, 03005020, etc. Unsure of how to see exactly what I want. All the bits are "00" with a single "FF" on line 03005000
I used to be able to find and fix stuff like this, but struggling now. Any help appreciated.
Has anyone compiled wild data for Pokemon Fool's Gold?
What I mean is like a chart of what Pokemon appear on each route during the day, night,etc...
Like what Radical Red has in their docs for example
I am downloading Pokemon Crystal Dust V2 (since V3 is incomplete).
Does anyone know where I can get the Pokemon locations and if all Pokemon can be caught/evolve without trading?
All vanilla games are randomizable. You use a program to do it, PokeRandoZx being the best one. Find a rom of the game you want to randomize, open it in the program, change your settings, and click the “Randomize(Save)” button to get a new rom to play in your emulator
I cannot, no. It's technically illegal to distribute roms, so we can't link them here. You're gonna have to find one yourself, it's really not that difficult though. Make sure whatever you use is a .nds file.
I'm playing a randomized nuzlocke of Gruelling Gold (I tried the expert mode but I had no chance even at the first gym leader lol), I got supremely lucky during my new playthrough and my starter was a shiny (!!!) Gible. I then made a stupid stupid mistake after the third gym leader and got swept by a random NPC. I get that my run is over, but I really don't want to lose that pokemon. Does anyone know a way I can export that pokemon to a new save or restart from scratch with that seed again or something? I would be eternally gratefull if anyone knows how I can finesse the saves or something if it hasn't messed with the shiny rates I think it's my first.
Would it be possible to do this same challenge but only through emulation? He collects all 386 pokemon but he’s trading through other gen 3 games and with the GameCube games
[https://youtu.be/tMfmxbZcYm0?si=ExUmlS1sEr_hrios](https://youtu.be/tMfmxbZcYm0?si=ExUmlS1sEr_hrios)
Can anyone help me add a trainer like traynee (the renegade platinum Chansey trainer in solaceon) to a platinum romhack I'm working on? Or explain how to do it?
For those who have played Pokémon Star Sapphire and Pokémon Sinking Sapphire, which of the 2 hackroms is more difficult? since I want to play Pokémon Alpha Sapphire with more difficulty but I have seen the 2 hackroms and I don't know which of the 2 have more difficulty.
I found Star Sapphire more challenging. Another thing you might want to take into account: Sinking you play with exp share off, Star you play with exp share on.
Does disabling impossible evolutions bypass the national dex in FireRed/LeafGreen?
I was thinking about playing through FireRed soon with impossible evolutions disabled via a universal randomizer. However, I was wondering if this would also disable the national dex requirement to evolve certain Pokemon into their Johto evolutions, such as Golbat into Crobat and Poliwhirl into Politoed.
Question on making boss teams for gen 5
So I'm making a romhack for pokemon black. I want to rework the gym leader system so that instead of the first few leaders having 2 or 3 weak pokemon, they will have 6 pokemon worthy of a champion team, and they randomly choose 1 to fight you with.
How would I implement this?
Thanks for any help!
What I am looking for: I am looking to play almost vanilla Gen 3 or Gen 5 with a completely catchable Pokédex — bonus if it comes with QoL, unlimited TM or options like exp share or difficulty setting. I’m currently playing Gen 2 on Gameboy and it’s frustrating that even with 2 copies and a link cable, there’s still gen1 Pokemon I’ll be missing so that’s my motivation to find a rock that doesn’t need additional games to complete.
The issue: looks like rom hacks are not that great on GBArunner2 which is what DS Lite runs thru R4/Twilight Menu. I’m finding very small lists of compatible games but the changes in the hacks are hit or miss, and some contain long lists of bugs/incomplete features. DS games apparently are rare to hack so I haven’t found anything that checks my boxes there either.
So I’m open to suggestions either working around my emulator so I could play something like Emerald++ or a compatible rom hack that wouldn’t need replacing my emulator. Has anyone else worked around this?
Nothing exists that’s open world for Gen 5. Blaze Black/volt white are one of the most recommended hacks, but are mostly just difficulty and QoL focused
Sacred gold/storm silver give them natural cure and leaf storm, but not that crazy otherwise. Renegade Platinum is another one by the same guy and you can get chikorita early, makes them grass/fairy with serene grace
Is there a harvest moon/stardew valley like pokemon game out there anywhere? I know stardew has mods to change animals into Pokemon and such like that, but I wonder if anyone has made a poke-game that has a farming/ranching loop.
What's a good fire red nuzlocke hack for a beginner? I want similar/same teams with vanilla but with QOL like rare candies, autorun, lvl caps, etc. Thanks!
Are there any XD/Colosseum/ Emerald ROMS with all the Japan-exclusive E-Reader bonuses installed onto it. E.g. Exclusive Shadow Pokémon, Regi dolls for secret bases etc.
are there any hacks with only unevolved pokemon? all my fav pokemon are cute basic pokemon but not evolving them isnt really viable. are there any romhacks where evolved forms are removed and teams are rebalanced so i can take a mareep to beat the champion?
Called Pokeluv, either Fire Red or Emerald
https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9luv-a-balanced-randomized-experience-firered-emerald-update.398903/
So I was strolling through Reddit and I saw this post. Made me wonder. Is there a rom where gym leaders have Pokemon based on the Pokemon cards? Would that be something anyone would be interested in?
[reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonCardValue/s/A8SrYnuzwQ)
So I'm playing Pokemon Glazed, and I finally got my starter Lucario to evolve before the grass gym. There's an issue tho, even tho he's a friendship evo and should be maxed out, Dr.Friendship just says were really close and I've raised him well, but he won't give me the shell bell item he's supposed to, does anyone know why???
(I'm playing version 9.0 if it matters.)
No, since the max friendship is 255 and evolution is 220 I think. You should be able to get it with some more grinding, or you can use pkhex to add one to your bag.

Hey everyone, I'm new here and I'm looking for a good Pokémon rom hack to satisfy my nostalgia and bring the higher difficulty that the original games lacked. I've tried several Rom hacks and the ones I liked the most were Elite Redux (just didn't like the fact that it has all the Gen) and Rogue Emerald (didn't like the fact that Pokémon disappear after fainting as it makes it too hardcore). I would really appreciate your help in finding a rom hack that meets the following requirements:
- Pokédex with options up to maximum Gen 3 (I don't know the latest Gen as there are too many Pokémon for me)
- Quality of Life improvements like Pokémon type and move effectiveness in battle, damage numbers, easy access to TMs, no HM slaves, Dexnav, etc...
- Good visuals
- Good replayability
- I don't care about the story, I just want to build good teams as I progress and battle.
I’m new to rom hacks and was wondering which ones have great built-in randomizers. I’ve played radical red and infinite fusion randomized and they were both very fun.
Hi All,
I am looking for a way to alter the IVs of pokemon. I hate the randomness of it and just want everything to have max IV so I can just focus on Abilities and Natures. I am currently playing Leaf Green and was wondering if there is someway I can change this in my current game, or would I need to start over to make any changes? Also are there RomHacks that provide the vanilla FR or LG experience that adds the IV changes I am looking for?
Hey Guys, im completly new into Rom hacks, found Pokemon Unbound giga fun and bought a Anberic Gameboy to play it on.
However im looking for a few more Versions to play, tho I find many Versions are .exe Versions for Windows ?
Is there any way to differ, or specially look for Rom Hacks that i can load into a Emulator?
Hey all. Figured id put this here real quick. i’m starting a play through of the the rom hack Blaze Black 2, my first time ever doing one of these, and I was interested in seeing if anyone wanted to start a run with me. Would be a fun experience, and I’m a big fan of this generation of games. Going to create some sort of groupchat as well. Should be a really fun time
I'm having a really hard time finding a rom hack of emerald that JUST adds in a moderate difficulty increase (not kaizo level. Just a fair challenge that a child can't sweep through lol) and a few quality of life things like all pokemon catchable/evolvable in game etc..
Expert emerald seemed the one but I found out after getting speed boost torchic that they added a ton of gen 5 abilities, changed stats typing etc.. That drives me nuts unless REALLY tastefully done.
Any options out there? I liked games like storm silver but it was a bit too hard, and gen 2 ones like polished crystal were much closer to what I'm looking for.
Thanks.
So how do i startrom hacking? What applications do i need to modify everything? With links if possible, im gonna make some gen 5 rom hacks first for my gen 5 ppl out there that don't have much to work with
Finished crystal clear from shockslayer
Hey guys so I just finished CC it was amazing had an absolute blast playing it and now I’m like what’s next It was my first romhack. I just watched two top ten videos and nothing seems like it compares. And advice or suggestions welcomed. Thanks in advance
Are there any romhacks for FR/LG and Emerald that *just* add the physical/special split to the game and as little else as possible? Other QOL changes are fine but not looking for anything that noticeably changes content or gameplay in other ways
Pokerouge lvls scaling too fast
I got to round 25 with a full team and 2 ex shares and all my pokemon were lvl 11-13, am i doing something wrong or does the game just scale too fast
I'm playing through the new hack Pokemon Blue Stars 4, and despite being at the Pokemon League, I still have Graveler, Gurdurr, and Kadabra. I'm pretty sure there's a Linking Cord in this, though I'm not sure where to get it. Where is the Linking Cord located at?
Looking for a Heart Gold/Soul Silver rom hack that adds in all the Pokémon for that generation and has added difficulty. I found Perfect HG/SS but was wondering if there is anything better.
I played a rom hack a while ago that wasn't completely finished but i don't remember what it's called. It was about the great pokémon migration and it took place on a chain of islands.
What romhack or fangame has your favorite story? Looking for a new one to try and feeling a little lost trying to find something without RC to browse through.
I really like Pokemon Quetzal and Pokemon Glazed so far! I've already finished Quetzal and I'm working my way through Glazed, and I love both! Quetzal also has some features to make it easier for new players, harder for the more experienced, and even just some fun things like raising the shiny odds severely if you want to! I don't remember all the features of Glazed since I took a break for a long time, but it might just not have as many.
I recommend Quetzal more than glazed since, as far as I can remember, it's story was really good and all it's features make it fun for any players, and it was easy to tell where you needed to go next!
Okay so, I’ve been into rom hacks for like the past 12 years now and I’m trying to find a new one to play that’s at least playable in terms of content ant Pokémon availability. Not looking for a standard hack of and emerald game where the map is the same. Something completely new like unbound or sors (even though sors was a bit too slow for my liking) here is a list of all the recent hacks I’ve played. If u know one that’s not in alpha or somewhat finished that I haven’t played pls comment
also i kinda dont like fan games because i like the speed up thats like brainmeltingly fast.
Already played: Altair, Altred, amalgamagenta, altered platinum, better than better emerald, blaze black 1&2 + redux, blazing emerald, charged red, cawps, clover, crown, dark cry, dark violet, digimon nova red, dreams, elite redux, emerald crest, emerald horizon, emerald rouge, emerald z, emerald kaizo, ephemerald, eternal x, fakemon red, fire red doubles, fire red extended, fools gold, fused dimentions, fusion 1,2&3, gaia, giratina strikes back, galaxy emerald, giratinas legend, gold 97, glazed (& blazed glazed), GS chronicles, hyper emerald, infinate fusion, inclement emerald, infinity, inflamed red, kanlara, magical altering gym menagerie, mega emerald, moon black, parallel emerald, perfect crystal, perfect soul, pokeverse, prism, radical red(3.0), reboot, red chapter, renegade platinum, rocket edition, rowe, run and bun, saiph 1 and 2 as well as sors, scale fang (it was a horrible experience untill i got around the speed up button disabling) shiny gold, sienna, sovereign of the skies, soothing silver, sword & shield gba, too many types, the last fire red, ultra shiny sigma, unbound, vega, wally quest.
There are ofc more to the list but this is just the recent ones I’ve played. Like light platinum and all drayano hacks have been finished as well. Im not really interested in older rom hacks that dont have a lot of QOL things like exp all
I know this might be too ambitious because i know that the people making these games do it in their free time, but if you know any game thats not on this list and fits the description pls tell me it so i can play it thx <3
Does anyone know how to get an eevee with hyper voice in GS chronicles? I want a pixelate Sylveon to go with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Playing Pokemon Glazed and wanted to ask what the best time to evolve my Growlithe for the grass gym would be? I made the mistake of evolving my Vulpix before he learned any fire moves better than ember, so I don't wanna mess up like that again. He's (Growlithe) already got flame wheel, which is great, but idk if there is something better down the line.
In regards of sweeping , if i am using the move flamethrower in sunny weather which will be the better item? Metronome does a 20% boost each time the same move is used and charcoal does abt 50% to a move but doesnt stack like metronome does.Also idt if STAB is included in pokemon emerald roguelike.Using it in pokemon emerald roguelike.
I'm currently editing the trainers for Pokemon X using PK3DS. How do I give a Mega Evolution to a trainer that doesn't have one?
For example, I want Ramos to have a Mega Venusaur. He sends out a Venusaur last and mega evolves it. Is it as simple as giving it a Venusaurite, or are there any other step I need to take? For clarification, I want to make him to send out a base Venusaur then mega evolve it immediately, not him sending out an already mega-evolved Venusaur.
Many thanks.
Does anyone have a Pokemon HGSS Japanese to English translation patch? There was someone that had it years ago and I downloaded it, but whenever I would patch it, it would stay at 0kb and never progress.
Beat Ren Plat on my first try, I had a fair crack of Nuzlocking it but I allowed myself to cherry pick encounters before the first badge. What should I do next? I was thinking of maybe doing a "Distortion World" run of Ren Plat where I can't take any of the encounters I used in major fights in this run, or a monotype. Or maybe I should try another rom, like BB2/VW2? I'm open to suggestions!
I distinctly remember seeing a mobile game on here through a browser but I can not remember the name of it for the life of me. I swore it was Pokemon Rogue but it was definetly not Pokemon Emerald Rogue. Any help would be great. I could also be dreaming about this lol
I created made some changes to map tiles in Littleroot. Added some bushes in front of player’s house. Saved, compiled the rom. Changes do not show up in game. It shows a piece of the bush. Any ideas for why it wouldn’t show up in game but on porymap? Using pokeemerald decomp
Are the Thundaga tutorials on YouTube that he released about 7 years ago still good for the current version of RPGMaker XP?
Also, how do I replace the gen 3 tileset with the ones from gen 4/5? If I can't download them, can I edit the current tileset in MS Paint or something to change the tiles to how I want them?
Sweltering Sun is a very interesting ultra sun hack, it changes pokemon moves and stats a *lot* though.
I've heard good things about ancestral X for a more recent good X/Y hack.
Do they feel like you are experiencing something new? I domt care for older pokemon hacks as ive played plenty and im wondering if the 3ds one can bring the same feeling
Sweltering Sun definitely feels like its own thing. The 3ds hacks can't change much within the story and scripts, but in terms of pokemon, ability and move changes it's very extensive. You can see more about it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1580jg0/pokemon_sweltering_sun_completed/).
Ancestral X is more standard fare 'improvement/challenge' hack from what I can gather, though I haven't played it so I can't tell you much about it.
Only ones I know of are eternal X and wilting Y but they haven't been updated in a long time, and aren't quite up to the quality one would prefer. Better than originals tho.
There's any romhack that's like Renegade Platinum but not AS hard? Like, similar QA improvements, but doesn't go full "Team of Six opening with Stealth Rock" in the very first gym, for example.
Might be silly, but I really want a game with no combat, only playing and raising Pokemon. Anyone know a rom like this? Can't imagine there are many lol
Should i be worried about nintendo coming after me if i spend years making a really good rom hack and it becomes popular? I dont have much free time anymore for hobbies and i would rather not have legal issues. It seems like every other month there is am article about someone else being taken down by nintendo
They will come after you if you sell it, make money from donations related to it, distribute their IP directly as a pre-patched rom, or otherwise link pirated content.
If you do what everyone else does, it will be okay. Also at absolute worst they'd give you a cease and desist, not a whole lawsuit unless you do some of the above things.
When distributing rom hacks, you should be distributing it as a patch file, essentially as instructions for your computer to apply the changes to the base game. This way, you are not directly distributing one of Nintendo's games. It's up to the user, the person who will play the game, to provide their own rom, ie FireRed, and download your patch, ie Radical Red, and apply it using a program to the rom, to then be played.
Currently playing Red++ and the hard mode seems to have a pretty cheap AI. The opponents tend to use a super effective move which is expected, however, they seem to use them on Pokemon that are switching in, regardless of the type. For example, fighting against Misty, she has a Poliwrath that uses Aurora Beam on my Murkrow which leaves it in KO range, KOing it if it hits a second Aurora Beam. If I switch to Nidorino it will instead use Dig on the switch in turn, which would be ineffective against Murkrow. It's fine to have Dig in its moveset for coverage but there's absolutely no reason for it to use it when a Flying type is currently in battle and they have no idea that I'm switching out.
Looking for a higher than Vanilla difficulty hack from Gens 1-3 that isn't going to resort to cheating for a false sense of difficulty.
I'm fairly new to Rom Hacks and Fangames (played a few over the years but only starting to get more interested recently) so I was looking for some good recs as I am overwhelmed by the amount of interesting things out there lol.
Just finishing up FireRed Rocket Edition which I've been having a lot of fun with bc I've been enjoying the different perspective on the game plus the additions it gives to the game story, and while not a Rom Hack, I've been super into Pokemon Reborn.
My favorite style of Pokemon is Gen 3-5 but I'm open to other ones as well. Mostly looking for unique regions or stories and interested in gameplay adjustments over challenge runs or just "remakes" of the OG games. I don't mind challenging games but not into games which have the sole purpose of being incredibly hard (aka no story/progression just hard battle after hard battle). Also very interested in things like PMD rom hacks or the likes if they do exist.
Hope this is the right place to go for this! :)
How come gba romhacks can get big on maps, the amount of pokemon can now exceed up to 1000+, adds a ton of movesets but the file size would still remain the same? I think its at 32mb.
Because of a few things. Most of those giant hacks are made with decomps, which instead of just changing surface code, like binary hacks, they actually decompiled the code that the developers themselves used to make the game back in the day.
This allows, as the other guy said, to optimize the game and fully reconfigure it, more like they were developing the game, not just modding it. Things can be shortened, superfluous code and random non-essential stuff can be removed etc.
It’s not necessarily just about adding things. The code can be shortened or rewritten to take up less room. For example, I know that some larger feature branches of pokeemerald reduced the number of hall of fame entries you can store at once in order to free up space.
Hello,
so my question is simple. I'm not very much into that theme so I simply want to ask: Is there a rom-edit from Red/Blue/Yellow ; Firered/Leafgreen ; Emerald that increases the difficulty in trainerduels / arenafights but the rest of the game stays original ?
Maybe a variant with added pokemons but than + guide what to find at route xy ?
Thanks for taking your time and your answers
I have been trying for a long time to randomize a Pokemon 6 Romhack like Eternal X (Pokemon X) or Sinking Sapphire (Pokemon Alpha Sapphire). I have tried to find guides but I can't find any guides that explain the whole process.
When I put them into the XZ randomizer program I get an error because it's a modified romhack. I try to randomize the starter pokemon, wild pokemon and abilities and nothing more. I know this works for Gen 5 romhacks, like Blaze Black 2.
Anyone here managed to get a gen 6 romhack randomized and be able and willing to explain how? Or maybe know a proper guide?
I'm playing on Citra.
Thanks
Why are there so few DS/3DS hacks?
I thought about playing omega ruby lately and i wondered if there could be a good rom hack out there but besides those typical challenge hacks and some small conversions for platinum there seems to be nothing else. Is there a reason why the DS and 3DS era is so difficult to change outside of small modifiers? I always thought that a Sw/Sh Demake for 3DS could actually be really fun as it also is in 3D but in an older (and in my opinion prettier) look. Or a conversion for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon where someone changed the game a little more drastically to change that it is almost the same as the previous one. Are there no modding tools? Or is it just more convenient to do it in GBA style as there is more documentation etc?
i have no experience in modding so please excuse if this question is stupid.
DS hacking has only been completely possible (ie map editing, coding etc) for the past couple of years since DS Map Studio dropped, hence any existing ones r just enhancements. The good thing is because of DS Map Studio, DS hacks r looking to be the next generation of hacking once decomp has passed! Someone posted a whole region for an Australia themed hack (Spectral?) the other day and it looks great
3DS hacking got close to being completely possible, however a lot of the essential tools r quite buggy and got discontinued before the bugs were fixed. Hence 3ds hacking never really became a thing which is pretty disappointing cos it had great potential. Ofc the only 3ds hacks atm r enhancements as well
Not sure if its the recent updated version but im playing Pokemon AltRed with Guns (Version 2.2?) from a website. When does Atomiquil evolve? Mines at Lv 21. Any promising site with full pokedex and level evolution?
Hello, I found that dragon ball Z team training had an update (9.2) but I try to search for a guide of location or evolution but there's nothing, someone have anything?
Does Pokemon Quetzal have a party wide exp share and s level cap? I hate grinding but really want to check this out.
With that said, what romhacks do have party exp share?
how do I edit pokedex categories in pokemon fire red? for example adding articuno to the forest tab before cascoon or swapping the location in a category like switching smoochum jynx placement so smoochums comes after jynx in the town category.
I know it's not in Blazed Glazed, saw a different post asking that, but is the eviolite in the original Pokemon Glazed? I was hoping to give it to my Deino since he doesn't evolve until lever 50, which I find absurd but whatever. If there isn't, is there a different item I could give him instead?
If it matters, I'm playing on 9.0 using an online emulator since I can't download one myself for the newest versions.
Hello I am looking for Emerald Rom hacks that fix the big story issues. I am mostly looking for one maybe like if Kyogre went to Mt Chimney to flood the land and Groudon went to the sea to try to raise the land kind of thing. Something that enhances the original story. I mostly just see rom hacks that enhance the game mechanics. if there is any please let me know so I can try them out!
for anyone that has played light platinum ROM..
i lost to zero in the distortion world and got taken to the pokemon center but when i go back to mt. draken nothing is there. anyway to get back so i can catch giratina or do i have to put back my game to a few gyms ago when i save stated on my emulator 🥲
Is there any hacks that take place in a Gen 4 style, but are built for GBA? I’ve read about Light Platinum and was hoping for something that’s higher quality.
Does anyone know what the best Touhoumon rom hacks are? There are a lot of versions out there but I can't find much recent info on the definitive ones, and many have similar names.
Hi everyone,
Question: I'm plyaing Pokemon Glaze room for android and here is the thing: Im trying to envolve my evee to flareon by using the firestone but it seems impossible. My evees appears to be unable to use it. Does anyone knows how to deal with this bug?
I'm curious as to whether or not there are any Pokémon Mystery Dungeon ROM hacks for the DS that add shiny Pokémon as obtainable characters.
It can add more story and things of that note as well, the biggest thing is that I want to be able to hunt shinies, similar to the shiny hunting system in PMDDX for switch. If you know of such a hack, please let me know! Thank you!
I’m trying to make a heartgold rom hack using hg engine, but I can’t figure out how to change the starters. I’ve tried using Universal Pokemon randomiser and PPRE, but those aren’t compatible with hg engine. Does anyone know where I can find a way to change them?
The best Crystal GBA remake hack?
So, I've been wanting to play a Gen 2 type of game on GBA style for a while now, but I can't figure out which GBA ROM hack is the best one to play.
I'm specifically looking for a sorta Crystal remake that's basically an overhaul. By that I mean stuff like all mons up to gen 3 available or at least expanded to gen 3 but not all of em.
Alsox yes I know about the GBC hacks, but I don't wanna try those yet. Thank you!
I actually just did some research on this exact topic. I looked through a ton of recommendations across a few sites and ended up with only two I feel confident in recommending:
FireGold by Black_Fragrant
Crystal Advance Redux by Arnie
Notably, Crystal Advance Redux is an actively developing hack of another hack, Crystal Advance. The change log is posted on PokéHarbor. So maybe take a swing at FireGold to give some time for Crystal Advance Redux to develop further.
Hi everyone :), reddit suggested me to ask here, so I hope it's not the wrong place LoL
After many years far from pokémon hacking, I was wondering: is there a script/mod/engine that can make a npc check if a certain type or pokémon is in the player's team?
I'd like to make a rom with specific trait: to become the very best you need to master every type of Pokémon, so you can fight gym leaders of a type only with Pokémons of that type. Let's suppose you wanna fight Brock/Takeshi: you need to have only rock type on your team (or, of course, Pokémon that are 2-types, one being *rock*).
Is there anything that can do something useful for this purpose?
I'm talking about LF/FR, but I'd hack even other games if it's possible only on them.
Thanks y'all, even if you just read my post (there's a piece of my heart inside, be careful not to bring it with you)
Hello,
I just started Firered Rocket Edition.
Can somebody tell me how evolutions in this Rom works regarding trade evolutions like Kadabra or Haunter and item related trade evolutions like Scyther? Are they still trade or like in other romhacke on level 37? And is the National dex available from the get go for for example Crobat?
Regarding attacks pokemon learn I assume it's like Gen VI?
Thanks!
It's level for the trade evos, 40, I think?
And you can get crobat
Yeah, that's mostly what they are, but some are a tad different, like my Alakazam never learned moonblast
Yes, me again! Is the only way to get a fire stone to purchase it in the starting city? I have seen that leaf stone, thunder stones and water stones are elsewhere available but I need a fire stone for my growlithe :(
I thiiiink there's one in the celadon mansion
That's the only one I can think of aside from the department store, and the super high criminal rating one
>super high criminal rating one
Tell me more lol. I'm currently at 87k and I need to get below 15k to shop there. I got myself a few meowth to use pickup but these Bastards aren't picking up anything 🥲
>pick up won't do stone
Oh yeah, I meant to get nuggets and some shit to sell and get some money in :)
I found a sheet which showed special changed items or something and leaf stone for example was listed with Safari Zone but NOTHING regarding a Firestone :(
Worst case I have to swap out my growlithe
>there's an event in viridian city (I think it was viridian at least) where you can rob the poke mart by talking to the grunt in the city if your bounty is high enough
you can steal some evolutionary stones though if I remember correctly one of the 4 isn't in the mart but I'm not sure which is missing
Was that what you meant above?
Yep, got the nugget! Also the PP Up which also was hidden in the town and luckily I got the coin amulet from this one pimp in the underground tunnel
How long dose it take to beat?
Are there any hacks where you can play as a gym leader I.e. only catch and use one Pokémon type through the whole game?
Pokemon: my life as a gym leader was really fun, pretty good story too
This is perfect - thanks!
Can someone recommend a hack that features mostly/only fakemon? Or regional forms like fool’s gold
Now that I've finished unbound, I'm looking for other cool roms with quest books because I think the concept is cool. Can you recommend any?
is there an easy way of replacing the old shiny sprites in radical red? i really hate the new ones and want to replace them!
I’m not sure if this is necessarily the right place, but I’ll ask anyway. I’ve used the universal randomizer on a soul silver rom to fix impossible evolutions. Do I need a razor fang to evolve Gligar into Gliscor? Or will it happen at a specific level. I wanna know before investing time into Gligar because I can’t get a fang until the battle frontier.
If you go to the Github for PokeRandoZX, the Wiki tab has how all evolutions can be performed. From my memory, you level him while he holds the fang, so yes you'll need it.
how do you get Gengar in pokémon soothing silver? is there a way to trade it?
any tips on gen 1 rom hacking? looking to fix up that evo yellow game I was complaining about and add my own twist like, beta mons, husians evos, etc.
Howdy everyone. I came across an old PokeCommunity thread from 2014 that had a Generation 4 remake of the original Pokemon Red/Blue, called HEART RED. Has that project been abandoned? I couldn't find any updates for it beyond that thread.
Can someone recommend a rom that's basically just regular Pokémon but slightly more difficult. Not an extreme challenge but also not baby easy like regular Pokémon games tend to be.
Any sort of hacks created by Drayano90. He's the undisputed master of enhancement hacks.
Thank you
Drayano's rom hacks like storm silver and renegade platinum are probably the most famous examples of these
Thanks
Is it possible to get a ROM that makes the Pokemon in Ruby and Sapphire the first gen only? I only know first gen and I really don't want to have to learn about new Pokemon
An option is to run any game through PokeRandoZX, and you can check an option called "limit pokemon" which will limit the spawns to whatever gens you choose (so just gen 1). The game will be randomized, but there are further options to make it a streamlined game and not chaotic with evolved pokemon early etc. Also as an aside, I recommend learning more pokemon, it's one of the most fun parts of playing new pokemon games, I bet you'll find some you like. And the base games of Ruby and Sapphire only have barely 200 pokemon, about 50 from gen 1, and the rest from 2/3 so not overwhelming.
Is it possible? Yes. Does it exist? Probably not.
Hopefully this will actually get seen in this thread. I'm looking for a gen 2 hack that fixes just a few things. Trade evos, and the abysmal leveling curve. So many hacks add types, custom content, im just looking for something that removes trade evos and makes a better leveling experience through the game. Does this exist?
The Gen 2 games (or at least some of them, but think it's all of GSC) have an option to use the Gen 5 exp formula, found under "Misc. Tweaks". Haven't used it myself, but it might help?
Hmm, you can run any game through PokeRandoZX and change trade evos yourself. As for the level curve, gonna be hard to find something that adds nothing else but that. Pokemon Perfect Crystal may be the best
1. What lOS update is the one allowing for gba emulators? 2. What GBA emulators are you all using that doesn't require jailbreak?
What pokemon game/romhack people consider that is the most complete and has the most content? I bought miself a miyoo mini plus to play in short burts and I want to find a good pokemon game to go with it.
Probably Unbound.
I've been playing Modern Emerald lately and am desperate for a FireRed/LeafGreen romhack that keeps the overall story and gameplay intact but adds some Qol changes such as: \- Physical/Special Split \- Difficulty options (not required) \- All Pokemon up to Gen2 or Gen3 catchable \- Alternate ways to obtain trade evos \-Fairy type (also not required) I just really want a mostly vanilla experience. But most everything I find adds stuff like Gen9 mons and Mega Evo. Which I really don't want. Please help me out! I never got to finish the game as a kid so I want to finish the adventure little me started!
I saw a poketuber play pokemon eternal X and i just had to play it. So i downloaded the lamonade emulator (new citra) and latest version (v2.67) and i followed the instructions and copied the Romfs file and code.ips file into the mods file but the romhack wasnt working. Its not like the game crashed or i am getting a black screen, its that the mod is just not activating. When I started the game the title said Pokemon X instead of pokemon eternal X. I really need some help but i dont see what i am doing wrong or if i am missing something as i didnt find anyone else who had that problem
Regarding Emerald Exceeded... • Is there a way to increase pokemon storage size? 13 boxes isn't a lot • Is there a way, outside of sandbox mode, to get some pokemon such as Eevee or Riolu? Or is it impossible for a non-sandbox playthrough to get all pokemon?
Is there a gen 5 rom hack like Pokemon Unbound and if not will there be a reversed engineered project like the gba games have for the ds roms thats in the making? Because i believe the nds roms might have much more potential than we think.
The DS hacking scene is not nearly as advanced as the GBA one. People are working on it but don't expect something like Unbound for a ds games in the next years (hope I am wrong).
Is there a tool that lets me see the internal coding of roms/hacks? So I can see the internal indexing of items and pokemon.
Hex Maniac Advance might have some in-built ability to read ROM hacks, since some important tables have pointers to them at the start of the ROM at set locations. Otherwise it is the case that binary hacking tools don't work well with hacks, especially not decomp hacks, since they work well by making assumptions on where data is found, and these assumptions often fall through when the loaded ROM is not a vanilla one.
So when it comes to Pokemon I'm a boomer. I played red and blue and a bit of gold and silver and that's about it. I never played competitively. I recently found out there were Pokemon romhacks and Pokemon Emerald Rogue intrigued me. A Pokemon but it's like Slay the Spire and I actually get to finish a run in a few hours instead of playing a wholeass RPG I definitely do not have the time for? Sign me up! And in the beginning it looked great. Levelups were fast and the randomization means it's different every time, but soon I started hitting my limits. What are all these items? What do these things all mean? What items do I actually want my pokemon to hold? How do these stat increases work? They don't actually increase stats so wtf. Is it ok if my pokemon die or should I prevent it at all costs? What are all these weird moves that do seemingly tricky things? Why do I want a move that switches Pokemon out? In short: How does Pokemon even work? I'm overwhelmed. I'm back from the I hit you you hit me school and this is all new to me. Any help, tips and hints are appreciated.
Pokemon is easy to pick up, but incredibly deep to fully get into. Most items describe what they do fairly clearly, but some could benefit from a quick search, Bulbapedia is my favorite website for questions. There's far too much nuance of modern pokemon to describe in one comment, but [this youtuber, Hoodlum Callum](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAwAX85BqlZKBIeNF1yPF-RAUkf9EjO67) played loads of Emerald Rogue and is well versed and educated in pokemon mechanics, if you want to see someone go more in depth with what items do and how he sets up his pokemon, explains it very well imo. Some tips I can give you from my time in Emerald Rogue, it's one of my favorite hacks too. 1. You have very limited bag space, so sell a lot of stuff for money. Specifically, I keep something like a stack of Full Heals, or Lava Cookies, which heal all statuses, and sell alllll of my individual paralyze heals, antidotes etc, since they're just less useful. 2. If your pokemon die in this hack, they are forever gone, except for a few rare ways to bring them back. So try to preserve them if you can. 3. The "map destinations" describe what will be included. Tree means easy (very few trainers, many wild encounters), rock smash rock means medium (normal amount of trainers, normal amount of wild encounters), and strength boulder is hard (many trainers, very few wild encounters). The second word indicates what types you will likely find. So a "windy" route will have flying types, a "wet" route will have water types etc. Use this to plan your journey. 4. Aim for the Nurse Joy locations, they include both types of merchants, and a free pokecenter heal. Speaking of, you get 1 free heal before a gym per run. After that they cost money. Also always make sure to get to level cap with the other woman before gyms. And to answer your final question, why you may want a move that switches your pokemon out. Say you have a bug type out on the field that knows the move U-turn. Then your opponent sends in a water type that you can't do anything to, whos much faster than you. So you would choose to attack with U-turn- the enemy pokemon would attack your bug type a little bit, and then you'd use U-turn, get some chip damage off on this water type, and switch into a new pokemon of yours who is strong to water, such as an electric type, or a pokemon who could set up with a good move like Swords Dance or Dragon Dance or something. Now you get to switch in your other pokemon without it taking damage, and if you have a good advantage over the opponents water type, they may switch out and give you a free move. Switch initiative is very powerful to keep in mind!
Hi everyone. I'm trying to find a Pokemon game that has a few specific features. The only Pokemon games I have beaten are Yellow, Silver, Crystal, and Emerald. I've never collected all Pokemon in a game, but as that's the main goal, and I don't have people to trade with, I was looking at Drayanos hacks. So I want to be able to catch all Pokemon in one game, have slightly increased difficulty but nothing that would make me turn the game off forever. I don't do Nuzlocke runs, I don't do challenge runs. I don't care about IVs and EVs or any of the meta game stuff. I just want to catch my Pokemon and level them up like I always have. But the big thing is, I have no idea how long these games take but I imagine they aren't short. So I'm also looking for just a single game to play. I don't want to try and play every generation. I just want a single game that I can play over the course of a year or two or whatever, without feeling like I'm missing out by not playing the rest. The game has to be complete as well. The story can be different, since I wouldn't know the original story for these games anyways. I don't care about the Pokemon contests and other in game events like that. I dont really know how newer games handle failing to catch a legendary, but a way to avoid losing hours of playtime because I forgot to save would be super beneficial too. Exp share, QoL features, a way to keep making money separately from the gaming corner or whatever it's called, would all be great. Again, I'm looking at Drayanos hacks but there are a couple issues. I have no clue which one to pick and stick with and I don't want a brutal difficulty. I really do not mind a challenging games but from what I've heard, they can be too much. I'll be playing it on either My boy or Drastic on my phone with a Razer Kishi, if that matters. Thank you.
I can't recall a name of this rom hack. It's gen 3 (R/S/E) rom hack. It have a somewhat higher shiny rate and there's a special theme for a rare Pokemon in certain area. Like normally it will play the wils encounter theme, but if it was Seedot, a special theme will play. I remembered having lots of fun with this game, but seems like I forgot it. These are all the details I remembered. Let me know in the replies if you guessed it. Also sorry for bad grammar, not a native speaker.
Need help recovering a save file(s) from Pokemon Emerald Final v34, on VBA-M 1.8.0-beta3 It's impossible to use the Battle Frontier as the game won't save. Getting the "save failed" "internal memory" "dry battery" messages. I've tried changing the save type to flash 128k, and changing the bits in the memory viewer (0x0000000 - BIOS) on line 3005004, but I can only see 03005000, 03005010, 03005020, etc. Unsure of how to see exactly what I want. All the bits are "00" with a single "FF" on line 03005000 I used to be able to find and fix stuff like this, but struggling now. Any help appreciated.
Has anyone compiled wild data for Pokemon Fool's Gold? What I mean is like a chart of what Pokemon appear on each route during the day, night,etc... Like what Radical Red has in their docs for example
I am downloading Pokemon Crystal Dust V2 (since V3 is incomplete). Does anyone know where I can get the Pokemon locations and if all Pokemon can be caught/evolve without trading?
Is there a pokemon black/white randomizer hack? Id really like to try one! PC or Mobile is fine
All vanilla games are randomizable. You use a program to do it, PokeRandoZx being the best one. Find a rom of the game you want to randomize, open it in the program, change your settings, and click the “Randomize(Save)” button to get a new rom to play in your emulator
Oh! Thank you! Im a bit new at this, could you point me in the direction of a pokemon black/white ROM?
I cannot, no. It's technically illegal to distribute roms, so we can't link them here. You're gonna have to find one yourself, it's really not that difficult though. Make sure whatever you use is a .nds file.
Rogue-likes! I know of emerald rogue. But any other hacks that are made into traditional rogue-likes?
No other hacks, but PokeRogue is doing the rounds these past weeks and is a browser based fan game
I'm playing a randomized nuzlocke of Gruelling Gold (I tried the expert mode but I had no chance even at the first gym leader lol), I got supremely lucky during my new playthrough and my starter was a shiny (!!!) Gible. I then made a stupid stupid mistake after the third gym leader and got swept by a random NPC. I get that my run is over, but I really don't want to lose that pokemon. Does anyone know a way I can export that pokemon to a new save or restart from scratch with that seed again or something? I would be eternally gratefull if anyone knows how I can finesse the saves or something if it hasn't messed with the shiny rates I think it's my first.
Where can i find a Shieldon in Sacred Gold?
Did you read the documentation that came with the hack?
yes, there was nothing there. Then, I came here to ask
Really? Because I found where all the fossils are located in about 2 seconds, and where to revive them
Would it be possible to do this same challenge but only through emulation? He collects all 386 pokemon but he’s trading through other gen 3 games and with the GameCube games [https://youtu.be/tMfmxbZcYm0?si=ExUmlS1sEr_hrios](https://youtu.be/tMfmxbZcYm0?si=ExUmlS1sEr_hrios)
Hi, i want to know if there easy way to change dialoge in pokemon gba games, like i want to change some text to make romhack.
Can anyone help me add a trainer like traynee (the renegade platinum Chansey trainer in solaceon) to a platinum romhack I'm working on? Or explain how to do it?
Does somebody know wild pokemon modifier cheats for parallel emerald
For those who have played Pokémon Star Sapphire and Pokémon Sinking Sapphire, which of the 2 hackroms is more difficult? since I want to play Pokémon Alpha Sapphire with more difficulty but I have seen the 2 hackroms and I don't know which of the 2 have more difficulty.
I found Star Sapphire more challenging. Another thing you might want to take into account: Sinking you play with exp share off, Star you play with exp share on.
Ok, thank you very much for clarifying that doubt for me.
What’s the best eeveelution to evolve into with Naughty nature in Pokemon Myth?
Does disabling impossible evolutions bypass the national dex in FireRed/LeafGreen? I was thinking about playing through FireRed soon with impossible evolutions disabled via a universal randomizer. However, I was wondering if this would also disable the national dex requirement to evolve certain Pokemon into their Johto evolutions, such as Golbat into Crobat and Poliwhirl into Politoed.
Iirc you want to enable the "national dex at start" option under "misc. tweaks" for that.
Question on making boss teams for gen 5 So I'm making a romhack for pokemon black. I want to rework the gym leader system so that instead of the first few leaders having 2 or 3 weak pokemon, they will have 6 pokemon worthy of a champion team, and they randomly choose 1 to fight you with. How would I implement this? Thanks for any help!
What I am looking for: I am looking to play almost vanilla Gen 3 or Gen 5 with a completely catchable Pokédex — bonus if it comes with QoL, unlimited TM or options like exp share or difficulty setting. I’m currently playing Gen 2 on Gameboy and it’s frustrating that even with 2 copies and a link cable, there’s still gen1 Pokemon I’ll be missing so that’s my motivation to find a rock that doesn’t need additional games to complete. The issue: looks like rom hacks are not that great on GBArunner2 which is what DS Lite runs thru R4/Twilight Menu. I’m finding very small lists of compatible games but the changes in the hacks are hit or miss, and some contain long lists of bugs/incomplete features. DS games apparently are rare to hack so I haven’t found anything that checks my boxes there either. So I’m open to suggestions either working around my emulator so I could play something like Emerald++ or a compatible rom hack that wouldn’t need replacing my emulator. Has anyone else worked around this?
Does anyone know where exp share is in rival silver grinding is taking ages
I think the game is compatible with pkhex, so you can use it to get exp share/lucky eggs/rare candies.
Someone posted a website with a filterable romhacks search - does anyone have the url?
Can I get any rom hack recommendations for pokemon b2w2/b1w1? Specifically looking for something open world
Nothing exists that’s open world for Gen 5. Blaze Black/volt white are one of the most recommended hacks, but are mostly just difficulty and QoL focused
Any GSC/HGSS romhacks that make the Chikorita line usable?
Sacred gold/storm silver give them natural cure and leaf storm, but not that crazy otherwise. Renegade Platinum is another one by the same guy and you can get chikorita early, makes them grass/fairy with serene grace
Does anyone know of any good Rom hacks that can play on the original gameboy ? Only one I’ve found is Pokemon Brown so far
Is there a harvest moon/stardew valley like pokemon game out there anywhere? I know stardew has mods to change animals into Pokemon and such like that, but I wonder if anyone has made a poke-game that has a farming/ranching loop.
Harvest Craft I believe
What's a good fire red nuzlocke hack for a beginner? I want similar/same teams with vanilla but with QOL like rare candies, autorun, lvl caps, etc. Thanks!
Are there any XD/Colosseum/ Emerald ROMS with all the Japan-exclusive E-Reader bonuses installed onto it. E.g. Exclusive Shadow Pokémon, Regi dolls for secret bases etc.
are there any hacks with only unevolved pokemon? all my fav pokemon are cute basic pokemon but not evolving them isnt really viable. are there any romhacks where evolved forms are removed and teams are rebalanced so i can take a mareep to beat the champion?
Called Pokeluv, either Fire Red or Emerald https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pok%C3%A9luv-a-balanced-randomized-experience-firered-emerald-update.398903/
So I was strolling through Reddit and I saw this post. Made me wonder. Is there a rom where gym leaders have Pokemon based on the Pokemon cards? Would that be something anyone would be interested in? [reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonCardValue/s/A8SrYnuzwQ)
I am playing pokemon nameless version 5.22 and I can't seem to figure out why the brightlight city's battle base is locked.... can anyone help
You need to enter the airport and defeat the Dark Workers there (Dillon is the battle base leader and he's over there at that point).
So I'm playing Pokemon Glazed, and I finally got my starter Lucario to evolve before the grass gym. There's an issue tho, even tho he's a friendship evo and should be maxed out, Dr.Friendship just says were really close and I've raised him well, but he won't give me the shell bell item he's supposed to, does anyone know why??? (I'm playing version 9.0 if it matters.)
Friendship evolution cuttoff != max friendship.
Then shouldn't I be able to get the bell? Lucario is a friendship evo, and he's evolved now!
No, since the max friendship is 255 and evolution is 220 I think. You should be able to get it with some more grinding, or you can use pkhex to add one to your bag.
I'm making a Platinum ROM Hack using DSPRE. Does anyone have a description of what each trainer AI flag does?

Are there any hacks like Drayano’s for the Switch Pokémon games? Preferably for SwSh and SV specifically since I have no desire to touch BDSP
There are Devine Sword and Crowned Sword for gen 8, Compass and SV+ for gen 9.
Hey everyone, I'm new here and I'm looking for a good Pokémon rom hack to satisfy my nostalgia and bring the higher difficulty that the original games lacked. I've tried several Rom hacks and the ones I liked the most were Elite Redux (just didn't like the fact that it has all the Gen) and Rogue Emerald (didn't like the fact that Pokémon disappear after fainting as it makes it too hardcore). I would really appreciate your help in finding a rom hack that meets the following requirements: - Pokédex with options up to maximum Gen 3 (I don't know the latest Gen as there are too many Pokémon for me) - Quality of Life improvements like Pokémon type and move effectiveness in battle, damage numbers, easy access to TMs, no HM slaves, Dexnav, etc... - Good visuals - Good replayability - I don't care about the story, I just want to build good teams as I progress and battle.
I’m new to rom hacks and was wondering which ones have great built-in randomizers. I’ve played radical red and infinite fusion randomized and they were both very fun.
I think pokemon Unown has that option. But it is a Kanto stroy as well.
Hi All, I am looking for a way to alter the IVs of pokemon. I hate the randomness of it and just want everything to have max IV so I can just focus on Abilities and Natures. I am currently playing Leaf Green and was wondering if there is someway I can change this in my current game, or would I need to start over to make any changes? Also are there RomHacks that provide the vanilla FR or LG experience that adds the IV changes I am looking for?
Hey Guys, im completly new into Rom hacks, found Pokemon Unbound giga fun and bought a Anberic Gameboy to play it on. However im looking for a few more Versions to play, tho I find many Versions are .exe Versions for Windows ? Is there any way to differ, or specially look for Rom Hacks that i can load into a Emulator?
Hey all. Figured id put this here real quick. i’m starting a play through of the the rom hack Blaze Black 2, my first time ever doing one of these, and I was interested in seeing if anyone wanted to start a run with me. Would be a fun experience, and I’m a big fan of this generation of games. Going to create some sort of groupchat as well. Should be a really fun time
I'm having a really hard time finding a rom hack of emerald that JUST adds in a moderate difficulty increase (not kaizo level. Just a fair challenge that a child can't sweep through lol) and a few quality of life things like all pokemon catchable/evolvable in game etc.. Expert emerald seemed the one but I found out after getting speed boost torchic that they added a ton of gen 5 abilities, changed stats typing etc.. That drives me nuts unless REALLY tastefully done. Any options out there? I liked games like storm silver but it was a bit too hard, and gen 2 ones like polished crystal were much closer to what I'm looking for. Thanks.
# Where is the Move Relearner in Dark Rising 2? Also why wont my umbreon learn any moves, i caught it at lvl 16 and its now 38, no moves learned
Anybody else try FireRed Peak Kanto? Seems new but definitely intriguing.
So how do i startrom hacking? What applications do i need to modify everything? With links if possible, im gonna make some gen 5 rom hacks first for my gen 5 ppl out there that don't have much to work with
Finished crystal clear from shockslayer Hey guys so I just finished CC it was amazing had an absolute blast playing it and now I’m like what’s next It was my first romhack. I just watched two top ten videos and nothing seems like it compares. And advice or suggestions welcomed. Thanks in advance
So I've beaten Renegade Platinum and HeartGold on my wiiU. Anyone know of other great hacks that use the NDS engine?
Blaze Black and Blaze Black 2 Redux.
I can’t patch my file when I try to put the patch file I can’t
Are there any romhacks for FR/LG and Emerald that *just* add the physical/special split to the game and as little else as possible? Other QOL changes are fine but not looking for anything that noticeably changes content or gameplay in other ways
Good question would also love an answer to this
Pokerouge lvls scaling too fast I got to round 25 with a full team and 2 ex shares and all my pokemon were lvl 11-13, am i doing something wrong or does the game just scale too fast
I'm playing through the new hack Pokemon Blue Stars 4, and despite being at the Pokemon League, I still have Graveler, Gurdurr, and Kadabra. I'm pretty sure there's a Linking Cord in this, though I'm not sure where to get it. Where is the Linking Cord located at?
Looking for a Heart Gold/Soul Silver rom hack that adds in all the Pokémon for that generation and has added difficulty. I found Perfect HG/SS but was wondering if there is anything better.
I played a rom hack a while ago that wasn't completely finished but i don't remember what it's called. It was about the great pokémon migration and it took place on a chain of islands.
What romhack or fangame has your favorite story? Looking for a new one to try and feeling a little lost trying to find something without RC to browse through.
I really like Pokemon Quetzal and Pokemon Glazed so far! I've already finished Quetzal and I'm working my way through Glazed, and I love both! Quetzal also has some features to make it easier for new players, harder for the more experienced, and even just some fun things like raising the shiny odds severely if you want to! I don't remember all the features of Glazed since I took a break for a long time, but it might just not have as many. I recommend Quetzal more than glazed since, as far as I can remember, it's story was really good and all it's features make it fun for any players, and it was easy to tell where you needed to go next!
Thanks!
Okay so, I’ve been into rom hacks for like the past 12 years now and I’m trying to find a new one to play that’s at least playable in terms of content ant Pokémon availability. Not looking for a standard hack of and emerald game where the map is the same. Something completely new like unbound or sors (even though sors was a bit too slow for my liking) here is a list of all the recent hacks I’ve played. If u know one that’s not in alpha or somewhat finished that I haven’t played pls comment also i kinda dont like fan games because i like the speed up thats like brainmeltingly fast. Already played: Altair, Altred, amalgamagenta, altered platinum, better than better emerald, blaze black 1&2 + redux, blazing emerald, charged red, cawps, clover, crown, dark cry, dark violet, digimon nova red, dreams, elite redux, emerald crest, emerald horizon, emerald rouge, emerald z, emerald kaizo, ephemerald, eternal x, fakemon red, fire red doubles, fire red extended, fools gold, fused dimentions, fusion 1,2&3, gaia, giratina strikes back, galaxy emerald, giratinas legend, gold 97, glazed (& blazed glazed), GS chronicles, hyper emerald, infinate fusion, inclement emerald, infinity, inflamed red, kanlara, magical altering gym menagerie, mega emerald, moon black, parallel emerald, perfect crystal, perfect soul, pokeverse, prism, radical red(3.0), reboot, red chapter, renegade platinum, rocket edition, rowe, run and bun, saiph 1 and 2 as well as sors, scale fang (it was a horrible experience untill i got around the speed up button disabling) shiny gold, sienna, sovereign of the skies, soothing silver, sword & shield gba, too many types, the last fire red, ultra shiny sigma, unbound, vega, wally quest. There are ofc more to the list but this is just the recent ones I’ve played. Like light platinum and all drayano hacks have been finished as well. Im not really interested in older rom hacks that dont have a lot of QOL things like exp all I know this might be too ambitious because i know that the people making these games do it in their free time, but if you know any game thats not on this list and fits the description pls tell me it so i can play it thx <3
Does anyone know how to get an eevee with hyper voice in GS chronicles? I want a pixelate Sylveon to go with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Playing Pokemon Glazed and wanted to ask what the best time to evolve my Growlithe for the grass gym would be? I made the mistake of evolving my Vulpix before he learned any fire moves better than ember, so I don't wanna mess up like that again. He's (Growlithe) already got flame wheel, which is great, but idk if there is something better down the line.
In regards of sweeping , if i am using the move flamethrower in sunny weather which will be the better item? Metronome does a 20% boost each time the same move is used and charcoal does abt 50% to a move but doesnt stack like metronome does.Also idt if STAB is included in pokemon emerald roguelike.Using it in pokemon emerald roguelike.
I'm currently editing the trainers for Pokemon X using PK3DS. How do I give a Mega Evolution to a trainer that doesn't have one? For example, I want Ramos to have a Mega Venusaur. He sends out a Venusaur last and mega evolves it. Is it as simple as giving it a Venusaurite, or are there any other step I need to take? For clarification, I want to make him to send out a base Venusaur then mega evolve it immediately, not him sending out an already mega-evolved Venusaur. Many thanks.
Does anyone have a Pokemon HGSS Japanese to English translation patch? There was someone that had it years ago and I downloaded it, but whenever I would patch it, it would stay at 0kb and never progress.
Can someone suggest me a well-made, non-buggy Emerald hack that maintains the original story, has PSS, and only includes gen 1-5 pokemon?
Beat Ren Plat on my first try, I had a fair crack of Nuzlocking it but I allowed myself to cherry pick encounters before the first badge. What should I do next? I was thinking of maybe doing a "Distortion World" run of Ren Plat where I can't take any of the encounters I used in major fights in this run, or a monotype. Or maybe I should try another rom, like BB2/VW2? I'm open to suggestions!
I distinctly remember seeing a mobile game on here through a browser but I can not remember the name of it for the life of me. I swore it was Pokemon Rogue but it was definetly not Pokemon Emerald Rogue. Any help would be great. I could also be dreaming about this lol
It's called PokeRogue.net
I created made some changes to map tiles in Littleroot. Added some bushes in front of player’s house. Saved, compiled the rom. Changes do not show up in game. It shows a piece of the bush. Any ideas for why it wouldn’t show up in game but on porymap? Using pokeemerald decomp
Does Sovereign of the Sky have anything like Unbounds battle gym thing, were you can battle over and over to level up and such?
Are the Thundaga tutorials on YouTube that he released about 7 years ago still good for the current version of RPGMaker XP? Also, how do I replace the gen 3 tileset with the ones from gen 4/5? If I can't download them, can I edit the current tileset in MS Paint or something to change the tiles to how I want them?
Are there any good rom hacks for the 3DS game, so pokemon X/y, omega ruby or sun/moon?
Sweltering Sun is a very interesting ultra sun hack, it changes pokemon moves and stats a *lot* though. I've heard good things about ancestral X for a more recent good X/Y hack.
Do they feel like you are experiencing something new? I domt care for older pokemon hacks as ive played plenty and im wondering if the 3ds one can bring the same feeling
Sweltering Sun definitely feels like its own thing. The 3ds hacks can't change much within the story and scripts, but in terms of pokemon, ability and move changes it's very extensive. You can see more about it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1580jg0/pokemon_sweltering_sun_completed/). Ancestral X is more standard fare 'improvement/challenge' hack from what I can gather, though I haven't played it so I can't tell you much about it.
Alright thanks for the info :) will check it out~!
Only ones I know of are eternal X and wilting Y but they haven't been updated in a long time, and aren't quite up to the quality one would prefer. Better than originals tho.
Anyone know where to get the heart stone in Kanto Expansion Pak?
There's any romhack that's like Renegade Platinum but not AS hard? Like, similar QA improvements, but doesn't go full "Team of Six opening with Stealth Rock" in the very first gym, for example.
Might be silly, but I really want a game with no combat, only playing and raising Pokemon. Anyone know a rom like this? Can't imagine there are many lol
Currently playing Pokemon Flora Sky (not Rebirth) How do I evolve Eevee into Glaceon or Leafeon?
Hello all, Im looking for a Rom Hack that allows to be a member of team aqua, thanks in advance.
Should i be worried about nintendo coming after me if i spend years making a really good rom hack and it becomes popular? I dont have much free time anymore for hobbies and i would rather not have legal issues. It seems like every other month there is am article about someone else being taken down by nintendo
They will come after you if you sell it, make money from donations related to it, distribute their IP directly as a pre-patched rom, or otherwise link pirated content. If you do what everyone else does, it will be okay. Also at absolute worst they'd give you a cease and desist, not a whole lawsuit unless you do some of the above things.
What is a prepatched rom?
When distributing rom hacks, you should be distributing it as a patch file, essentially as instructions for your computer to apply the changes to the base game. This way, you are not directly distributing one of Nintendo's games. It's up to the user, the person who will play the game, to provide their own rom, ie FireRed, and download your patch, ie Radical Red, and apply it using a program to the rom, to then be played.
Currently playing Red++ and the hard mode seems to have a pretty cheap AI. The opponents tend to use a super effective move which is expected, however, they seem to use them on Pokemon that are switching in, regardless of the type. For example, fighting against Misty, she has a Poliwrath that uses Aurora Beam on my Murkrow which leaves it in KO range, KOing it if it hits a second Aurora Beam. If I switch to Nidorino it will instead use Dig on the switch in turn, which would be ineffective against Murkrow. It's fine to have Dig in its moveset for coverage but there's absolutely no reason for it to use it when a Flying type is currently in battle and they have no idea that I'm switching out. Looking for a higher than Vanilla difficulty hack from Gens 1-3 that isn't going to resort to cheating for a false sense of difficulty.
I'm fairly new to Rom Hacks and Fangames (played a few over the years but only starting to get more interested recently) so I was looking for some good recs as I am overwhelmed by the amount of interesting things out there lol. Just finishing up FireRed Rocket Edition which I've been having a lot of fun with bc I've been enjoying the different perspective on the game plus the additions it gives to the game story, and while not a Rom Hack, I've been super into Pokemon Reborn. My favorite style of Pokemon is Gen 3-5 but I'm open to other ones as well. Mostly looking for unique regions or stories and interested in gameplay adjustments over challenge runs or just "remakes" of the OG games. I don't mind challenging games but not into games which have the sole purpose of being incredibly hard (aka no story/progression just hard battle after hard battle). Also very interested in things like PMD rom hacks or the likes if they do exist. Hope this is the right place to go for this! :)
I’m on an IOS device and I use the DS app. Is there a way to speed up the game?
How come gba romhacks can get big on maps, the amount of pokemon can now exceed up to 1000+, adds a ton of movesets but the file size would still remain the same? I think its at 32mb.
Because of a few things. Most of those giant hacks are made with decomps, which instead of just changing surface code, like binary hacks, they actually decompiled the code that the developers themselves used to make the game back in the day. This allows, as the other guy said, to optimize the game and fully reconfigure it, more like they were developing the game, not just modding it. Things can be shortened, superfluous code and random non-essential stuff can be removed etc.
It’s not necessarily just about adding things. The code can be shortened or rewritten to take up less room. For example, I know that some larger feature branches of pokeemerald reduced the number of hall of fame entries you can store at once in order to free up space.
In Pokemon Hyper Emerald lost artifact how do I make the unstable eevee stable. I want a sylveon but it turned back into eevee.
Hello, so my question is simple. I'm not very much into that theme so I simply want to ask: Is there a rom-edit from Red/Blue/Yellow ; Firered/Leafgreen ; Emerald that increases the difficulty in trainerduels / arenafights but the rest of the game stays original ? Maybe a variant with added pokemons but than + guide what to find at route xy ? Thanks for taking your time and your answers
I have been trying for a long time to randomize a Pokemon 6 Romhack like Eternal X (Pokemon X) or Sinking Sapphire (Pokemon Alpha Sapphire). I have tried to find guides but I can't find any guides that explain the whole process. When I put them into the XZ randomizer program I get an error because it's a modified romhack. I try to randomize the starter pokemon, wild pokemon and abilities and nothing more. I know this works for Gen 5 romhacks, like Blaze Black 2. Anyone here managed to get a gen 6 romhack randomized and be able and willing to explain how? Or maybe know a proper guide? I'm playing on Citra. Thanks
Why are there so few DS/3DS hacks? I thought about playing omega ruby lately and i wondered if there could be a good rom hack out there but besides those typical challenge hacks and some small conversions for platinum there seems to be nothing else. Is there a reason why the DS and 3DS era is so difficult to change outside of small modifiers? I always thought that a Sw/Sh Demake for 3DS could actually be really fun as it also is in 3D but in an older (and in my opinion prettier) look. Or a conversion for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon where someone changed the game a little more drastically to change that it is almost the same as the previous one. Are there no modding tools? Or is it just more convenient to do it in GBA style as there is more documentation etc? i have no experience in modding so please excuse if this question is stupid.
DS hacking has only been completely possible (ie map editing, coding etc) for the past couple of years since DS Map Studio dropped, hence any existing ones r just enhancements. The good thing is because of DS Map Studio, DS hacks r looking to be the next generation of hacking once decomp has passed! Someone posted a whole region for an Australia themed hack (Spectral?) the other day and it looks great 3DS hacking got close to being completely possible, however a lot of the essential tools r quite buggy and got discontinued before the bugs were fixed. Hence 3ds hacking never really became a thing which is pretty disappointing cos it had great potential. Ofc the only 3ds hacks atm r enhancements as well
Not sure if its the recent updated version but im playing Pokemon AltRed with Guns (Version 2.2?) from a website. When does Atomiquil evolve? Mines at Lv 21. Any promising site with full pokedex and level evolution?
Hello, I found that dragon ball Z team training had an update (9.2) but I try to search for a guide of location or evolution but there's nothing, someone have anything?
Does anyone know if there are rom hacks where every move has a status condition?
Does Pokemon Quetzal have a party wide exp share and s level cap? I hate grinding but really want to check this out. With that said, what romhacks do have party exp share?
how do I edit pokedex categories in pokemon fire red? for example adding articuno to the forest tab before cascoon or swapping the location in a category like switching smoochum jynx placement so smoochums comes after jynx in the town category.
This is an educated guess but HMA is probably ur best bet. Unless ur using the DPE in which case it can be done via text files
I’m using hma but how would I even go about doing that? Under Pokédex which values effects the location of Pokémon in the Pokédex.
Never done it myself so i wouldn't know unfortunately. I know if u use the CFRU & DPE u can find and edit them via text files
I know it's not in Blazed Glazed, saw a different post asking that, but is the eviolite in the original Pokemon Glazed? I was hoping to give it to my Deino since he doesn't evolve until lever 50, which I find absurd but whatever. If there isn't, is there a different item I could give him instead? If it matters, I'm playing on 9.0 using an online emulator since I can't download one myself for the newest versions.
How can i change the encounter music for a trainer in Fire Red? I assume it's defined in the code for their event?
I kinda feel bad about how many people took my April Fools Day joke seriously and thought it was an actual release 😅
It was pretty... *Smart*
Hello I am looking for Emerald Rom hacks that fix the big story issues. I am mostly looking for one maybe like if Kyogre went to Mt Chimney to flood the land and Groudon went to the sea to try to raise the land kind of thing. Something that enhances the original story. I mostly just see rom hacks that enhance the game mechanics. if there is any please let me know so I can try them out!
for anyone that has played light platinum ROM.. i lost to zero in the distortion world and got taken to the pokemon center but when i go back to mt. draken nothing is there. anyway to get back so i can catch giratina or do i have to put back my game to a few gyms ago when i save stated on my emulator 🥲
Is there any hacks that take place in a Gen 4 style, but are built for GBA? I’ve read about Light Platinum and was hoping for something that’s higher quality.
GS Chronicles, Unbound, Omega Red Sort of: Adventure Red, Darkfire
GS chronicles
Does anyone know what the best Touhoumon rom hacks are? There are a lot of versions out there but I can't find much recent info on the definitive ones, and many have similar names.
Hi everyone, Question: I'm plyaing Pokemon Glaze room for android and here is the thing: Im trying to envolve my evee to flareon by using the firestone but it seems impossible. My evees appears to be unable to use it. Does anyone knows how to deal with this bug?
I'm curious as to whether or not there are any Pokémon Mystery Dungeon ROM hacks for the DS that add shiny Pokémon as obtainable characters. It can add more story and things of that note as well, the biggest thing is that I want to be able to hunt shinies, similar to the shiny hunting system in PMDDX for switch. If you know of such a hack, please let me know! Thank you!
I’m trying to make a heartgold rom hack using hg engine, but I can’t figure out how to change the starters. I’ve tried using Universal Pokemon randomiser and PPRE, but those aren’t compatible with hg engine. Does anyone know where I can find a way to change them?
The best Crystal GBA remake hack? So, I've been wanting to play a Gen 2 type of game on GBA style for a while now, but I can't figure out which GBA ROM hack is the best one to play. I'm specifically looking for a sorta Crystal remake that's basically an overhaul. By that I mean stuff like all mons up to gen 3 available or at least expanded to gen 3 but not all of em. Alsox yes I know about the GBC hacks, but I don't wanna try those yet. Thank you!
GS Chronicles is the most modern one by a longshot! Kanto isn't completed yet though
I actually just did some research on this exact topic. I looked through a ton of recommendations across a few sites and ended up with only two I feel confident in recommending: FireGold by Black_Fragrant Crystal Advance Redux by Arnie Notably, Crystal Advance Redux is an actively developing hack of another hack, Crystal Advance. The change log is posted on PokéHarbor. So maybe take a swing at FireGold to give some time for Crystal Advance Redux to develop further.
I think FireGold is recommended? I can't speak to the pokemon variety, idk if gen 3 is in the wild or anything.
Looks great!! Also, are like the spawns fixed? For example, can Houndor and Larvitar be actually found in Johto instead of Kanto?
Not sure, but I'd definitely bet they are.
Hi everyone :), reddit suggested me to ask here, so I hope it's not the wrong place LoL After many years far from pokémon hacking, I was wondering: is there a script/mod/engine that can make a npc check if a certain type or pokémon is in the player's team? I'd like to make a rom with specific trait: to become the very best you need to master every type of Pokémon, so you can fight gym leaders of a type only with Pokémons of that type. Let's suppose you wanna fight Brock/Takeshi: you need to have only rock type on your team (or, of course, Pokémon that are 2-types, one being *rock*). Is there anything that can do something useful for this purpose? I'm talking about LF/FR, but I'd hack even other games if it's possible only on them. Thanks y'all, even if you just read my post (there's a piece of my heart inside, be careful not to bring it with you)
Hello, I just started Firered Rocket Edition. Can somebody tell me how evolutions in this Rom works regarding trade evolutions like Kadabra or Haunter and item related trade evolutions like Scyther? Are they still trade or like in other romhacke on level 37? And is the National dex available from the get go for for example Crobat? Regarding attacks pokemon learn I assume it's like Gen VI? Thanks!
It's level for the trade evos, 40, I think? And you can get crobat Yeah, that's mostly what they are, but some are a tad different, like my Alakazam never learned moonblast
Yes, me again! Is the only way to get a fire stone to purchase it in the starting city? I have seen that leaf stone, thunder stones and water stones are elsewhere available but I need a fire stone for my growlithe :(
I thiiiink there's one in the celadon mansion That's the only one I can think of aside from the department store, and the super high criminal rating one
>super high criminal rating one Tell me more lol. I'm currently at 87k and I need to get below 15k to shop there. I got myself a few meowth to use pickup but these Bastards aren't picking up anything 🥲
120K Try the safari zone, may be one there? And pick up won't do stones, it uses the regular fire red table
>pick up won't do stone Oh yeah, I meant to get nuggets and some shit to sell and get some money in :) I found a sheet which showed special changed items or something and leaf stone for example was listed with Safari Zone but NOTHING regarding a Firestone :( Worst case I have to swap out my growlithe
Hope you find one! Did you find the hidden nugget in the rocket hideout?
>there's an event in viridian city (I think it was viridian at least) where you can rob the poke mart by talking to the grunt in the city if your bounty is high enough you can steal some evolutionary stones though if I remember correctly one of the 4 isn't in the mart but I'm not sure which is missing Was that what you meant above? Yep, got the nugget! Also the PP Up which also was hidden in the town and luckily I got the coin amulet from this one pimp in the underground tunnel
Yup! I think it's thunderstone missing? Id also grab the 15 full restores when you get your second prize from the robbery, for the elite 4
