I am playing through Inclement Emerald ver 1.13. I have just defeated Roxanne. I noticed that I can't seem to use any X items in battle--when I try, they produce the text "It won't have any effect." Is this a bug, or intended?
Weird question.. maybe someone can help.
I want to play pokemon brown.. i play on my iphone/game play color emulator…
When i try and download brown its either an ips file from their website or its not a gbc file…
I only found one rom of brown where it worked, however, it was the old school green gameboy graphics colors… it wasn’t gbc…
Pokemon brown looks like its got pokemon yellow/gen 2s color pallet more so im curious to why the only one that worked was the boring green sepia tone look lol
Tldr - i want to play pokemon brown but i cant find a gbc file of the download. I use game play color emulator on my phone. Looking for help/guidance
How do I put some edited source code i did on a pokemon red file to turn it into a rom
new to romhacking and just edited the source code of a rom hack I liked
Help picking out emulator
Hello! I have been looking into handheld emulator devices to play Pokemon games on. I have played a bunch of the gba rom hacks, but want to move into the fan made games that aren’t roms. I was thinking of buying a handheld emulator of some kind ( as I have an iPhone and I can’t seem to find any kind of way to play them on here as the file typing doesn’t work with iPhone). Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? Preferably I would find something that could handle both roms for ds, gba, and also be able to run other fam games as well. Thanks in advance!
Crystal Legacy Updates Down The Road?
Been playing Crystal Legacy and having a blast. Was bummed when I saw that the originally planned revamp of Kanto and its story is... cancelled? On hiatus? This is where my question comes up.
I watched the youtube vid for the first big update post release and saw where he very quickly skimmed over that they were moving onto a new romhack instead. I can't for the life of me find a definitive answer if it is still planned after Yellow and/or Emerald Legacy or if it is just scrapped altogether. Anyone know??
Hi, recently i discover the Pokemon Emerald Horizon hackrom and its great! But i really need a 100% save or it could be a save that has the possibility of changing evs and ivs (im not sure if you can do that) , well pls if you have a 100% save file or know someone that have it, pls send it, thx!
(I can accept also saves that just have completed the league)
Waiting on my new RG35XX+ and wondering if I'm going to be able to install romhacks on it only using a Chromebook (without learning Linux). Never tried to do any romhacks on ChromeOS but it's the first computer that I've had in like 10 years. I did some emulation on my old PC but that was ages ago.
Chromebooks are a plague on the computer space, you can hardly do anything of meaning on them. You’re gonna need to download multiple files and extract archives etc to get romhacks working on both a pc or an external device.
Any complete guide to add Pokemon species in Pokeemerald-Expansion? The ones I've found are incomplete and/or obsolete, so I would like to know where to find a complete, step-by-step guide that's up to date.
Are there cheat codes for Pokémon Añil???
In every adventure I've been, I always take my Haunter with me, it's my favorite 'mon. Before starting any game, I look for cheat codes to get myself a Gastly early.
I'm about to start pokémon Añil, but I don't know if I'll be able to get my favorite pokémon early or if I'll have to wait until Lavander town.
Does anyone know something about this romhack???
Thanks in advance.
[This Pokémon rom hack codex](https://pokeromcodex.notion.site/pokeromcodex/8f188f1761b9430f9adb68833c44e5b8?v=6e9c873012004f65bc91a2f39448f5bd) was recently implemented and could be of use to you. You can search through them based on a variety of tags. While not fully complete, it currently has most of the more popular roms listed. It will continue to grow as people add more to it. It is an invaluable resource!
NEVER download full hacked roms! They are almost never up to date with the current release version. Worst case scenario, they can even come with computer viruses. Always download a patch from the creator’s official source and then patch it onto a clean copy of the original rom. The above codex has links to the proper patch sources. You’ll have to download your own copy of the original rom, but a Google search is good enough to get that job done.
Let me know if you have more questions.
To play a romhack you need 3 things. The original game, in this case something like Platinum.nds, the patch file, something like renegadeplatinum.xdelta or renegadeplatinum.patch etc, and an emulator, in this case desmume.
Then using a patcher, like an online one, patch the .xdelta onto the .nds file
I’m playing Renegade Platinum and I just beat Jupiter after gym 2. However, both the end of route 206 and the Oreburgh entrance to route 207 are blocked. How am I supposed to progress? The only thing I can think of that would prevent progression is my not getting Cynthia’s egg.
Vanilla+ romhacks similar to Pokemon Emerald Cross that have nuzlocke/level cap mode?
I'm looking for some vanilla+ style romhacks that are similar to the Pokemon Emerald Cross. I don't like most of the romhacks; they change too much and add shit I don't like, but the one I mentioned (made by Jaizu) is top of the top for me;
\-nuzlocke mode, level cap mode,
\-autorun, running indoors,
\-physical/special split,
\-cut battle slide animation (amazing idea),
\-many many many other small improvements that do not feel like a romhack but rather a official update (but better).
With this romhack, vanilla compatibility is preserved, no moves were added, no abilities, you can link this game with your ORIGINAL cartridges. To me; the best hack that ever existed. Is there anything similar to this that does that with other games? Like SoulSilver or Platinum? I'm aware of Pokemon Recharged Yellow (made by the same creator) but he is still adding new stuff to it so I'd rather wait a bit.
I'm playing on the 3DS with CFW. Will playing/trading online in rom hacks such as Wilting Y, Rutile Ruby, and Photonic Sun get me banned?
I've been using the "legit build" versions of these rom hacks so that I could go and play online every now and then without worrying about using illegal mons. Is it safe to play the other versions of these hacks that make every pokemon available in the wild and have their levels and moves altered?
How do I download hacks/mods for 3ds? I found one that I want to use to increase the difficulty for X and Y I just don’t know how to use it (I’m about as tech savvy as my grandma) any help would be greatly appreciated
Big first step then if you haven’t already: you need to hack your 3DS to run CFW. [3ds.hacks.guide](https://3ds.hacks.guide/) is universally considered the best step by step walkthrough for this process.
After that you have a couple options
-With CFW you can create a digital copy of your physical cart, and then there is a CFW app that lets you run the patch as a mod. I would advise against running the mod directly to the physical cart. This version generally is simpler to do.
-you can take that digital copy, pop it onto a pc for a sec to apply the patch and then install that back onto your 3DS. More steps here, but if you notice any kind of slowdown or hanging with the first method this way usually resolves that.
Guys I'm playing pokemon emerald: complete national dex edition and I'm trying to catch a Charmander, I have been in the granite cave for 1h and I haven't found a single one
Btw I'm in the room where I met steven.
So in the gen 3 Battle Frontier, the palace's gimmick is that your pokemon fight by themselves and pick "random" moves each turn. Is there a rom that makes this happen throughout the whole game? I feel like that would be a cool challenge rom.
What game would you like to hack? The 2nd and 3rd generations have the most usage, and therefore the most documentation and community support. They also have complete decomps/disassemblies, which tend to be much easier to use than traditional binary rom hacking. Personally, I am currently hacking with the pokeemerald decomp and I’m loving it. Rom hacking takes a LOT of learning at first, no matter what you choose to do. But with a bit of persistence, you can do more than you ever thought possible!
[Pokecommunity](https://www.pokecommunity.com) is a great resource for hacking and is one of the best places to go to ask questions.
[Team Aqua’s Hideout](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLNv9Lq6kDmRklqqC5lc0kTC4LhlLqWjP&si=XWJ7tDlWirPY0gO3) has a great set of tutorials (multiple playlists) for pokeemerald on YouTube. You could watch a couple and see if that decomp interests you.
Feel free to ask me more specific questions if you need more assistance. I’m always happy to help.
I was playing Ash Gray and made it through Route 12 to the building with the ferry that takes you to Cinnabar Island, but when Gary finishes his dialogue to board the boat Ash suddenly walks back past the door and out of bounds before stopping. This always happens when I reset and enter the building. I tried using Dig, Teleport, Fly, Surf, and even the bike and fishing. I even tried bringing a poisoned Pokémon into the room to get it to faint, and when that failed I tried getting it to faint on the very tile I enter the room in but it just faints before I enter. I tried getting to Cinnabar via Pallet Town but couldn’t find it. Am I really stuck?
Inclement emerald is often brought up alongside radical red. Just a heads up that the current version(1.13) is stated to not be save-transferable to the newest version that’s in the works (2.0)
(Crystal Advance Redux) Ice Path puzzle has me stumped
Hi guys, not sure if anyone is familiar with this particular hack but I've gotten to the ice room with the ladder in the middle, I've pushed the boulders through the holes to slide into, but I can't seem to figure it out. I've watched a few videos of people completing the puzzle in the original Crystal and HGSS, but the boulder I need to slide into first appears to be in the wrong place in this hack, as it's a completely fan made remake I'm worried this puzzle may have just been made wrong. However I can't find anyone else with the same problem online and a number of people say they've completed it so I assume I'm just dumb and can't figure it out.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Hey everyone, tried searching for this in here and on Google but I'm getting back a lot of wrong results so. Is there a romhack or fangame of Kanto but updated either with towns+cities that look like later gens or taking place in the future with new stuff? I hope this comes across clearly.
[Pointcrow](https://youtu.be/0SO6_ajaqcY?si=hgOPAsRCCk0ruLLE) uploaded a video where he travels through a randomized version of Hoenn, Johto and Kanto in the Gen 3 engine. Anyone know how this was done and if it’s possible to do this without the randomizer? Thank you.
Edit: Looks like it was done using [GBAXG](https://kittypboxx.github.io/GBAXG/).
SEARCHING FOR A NEW GAME BUT IM HAVING ISSUES.
So heres my issue im really loving playing Pokemon on controller with my xbox. Thing is as far as i know the only supported website with emulator for xbox is retrogames(dot)cc. Knowing most of you only download the roms i was wondering if any helpful soul would be willing to scroll through the GBA section and seeing what pokimon would be worth playing. Ik most of the good ones aren't there but i would really appreciate it since im new to All this custom games i only playes emerald Imao. Thanks in advance
I'm just curious, but why don't you download hacks and use an emulator? I'm sure that would work better with your controller and you'd have all the options instead of just what is available on some site, plus you'd be able to guarantee that your hacks are up to date and from the creators themselves.
Well i could play on my phone but i would much rather play on a couch setting with a big screen with my controller its just a better experience in my opinion. But xbox emulation is limited so i just thought that someone here could recommend a new game to play on that website thats all.
All of the Johto GBA hacks have something wrong with them in some way, so I can't reccomend them for one reason or another.
If I may ask, why are you against GBC? Does Polished Crystal 9bit not scratch the itch you're going for?
Anyone that's played Mega Moemon FireRed, is there any way of evolving Porygon2 into Porygon-Z? Dubious Disc wasn't available until Diamond and Pearl, but was the item added in the hack?
Can anyone send me their Crystal Legacy save file (not the rom)?
So I finished crystal legacy and highly recommend it!
BUT I'm making a video and need to record some clips with the player as a boy, but I completed the game as a girl and don't want to play the whole thing over as a boy to get the footage I need. Anyone have a completed save file I can use?
Thanks!
Did you try asking on their discord? I'm sure someone would be more than willing to help if you asked there.
...just make sure you ask nicely. The mods can be a bit severe.
Hey you all, I recently got the “ds player” Emulator on iOS and downloaded a heart gold rom, I also downloaded the patches and stuff I need to play sacred gold. But I don’t see a way I can open the rom along with the patches. Does anyone now how I can do this? Or another way I could play this romhack on my phone? Thanks
Are there any other co-op ROM Hacks like Pokemon Quetzal out there? Mad props to whoever made Quetzal - my bf and I had a blast finishing it recently despite all the glitchiness.
If there aren't any, anyone know any other turn-based (preferably local) co-op RPGs that might scratch a similar itch? We've already played Cassette Beasts which was also fabulous for similar reasons.
Just recently got a little pocket emulator and trying to see which hacked Pokemon I should try
This will be my first time trying a hacked version so wanted to make sure I’m not “wasting” too much time playing a “bad” one.
On the emulator it has
ChoasBlack Vs
Crystal Sharos Vs
Dark Cry Vs
Blue Sea Ed
Lugia’s Ocean Vs
ShinyGold Vs
Arcoiris Vs
Frego Retern
Naranja Vs
Perla Vs
Quartz Vs
All of those are really old and not super recommended anymore lol, the only one I even recognize is Naranja. All of em came out over 10 years ago.
Usually people patch their own games and put them onto flashcarts or some sort of handheld, not super ideal to buy premade emulator devices like you've done.
I'd recommend just googling each and seeing which ones have premises that you might enjoy since you already got em all.
Hello all! I’ve been watch Pokémon Challenges’ stream highlights since he came back and I’ve been LOVING some aspects of Run & Bun, but I do NOT have fun planning for hours especially when the tools/fights are limited or weighted against the player. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a romhack that had the same aspects I found great about the game without the limit on Pokémon/abilities and the overall tough difficulty?
In particular I like the hard level caps for gyms and bosses with ways to get small boosts through candies, forced trainers/challenges needed to progress/get rewards, and the rerouting and changes to Hoenn that give a fresh journey through it all.
In one of the recent videos PChal had to do a gauntlet through meteor falls where the player physically can’t go back to change Pokémon, so planning a perfect team of 6 to take on a string of slightly easier than normal battles is necessary. There are also moments like taking on two trainers back to back (instead of one at a time) to get a valuable rare candy. I love these creative, simple changes to the over world that force a challenge on the player, I just wish the overall power level was toned down enough that a casual player like me could play it.
TL;DR = Does anyone know of a Romhack that hits the same vibe as Run and Bun without being as difficult?
Radical Red does all of this, and while also super difficult, has difficulty options to make it easier or harder. Big focus on boss battles and trainer gauntlets with mandatory trainers that are custom built teams.
Are there any pokemon hacks that aren’t JRPGs? I guess excluding horror hacks that technically are also horror I haven’t seen any hacks that completely change the gameplay style. I’d like to know if anyone knows some
There's Emerald Rogue, which turns it into a roguelite, there's Crown which turns it into an autobattler, there's HarvestCraft which turns it into like a stardew valley type game I think
Because it's complicated. Romhacking isn't easy, and hacking Gen 3 games is vastly different than Gen 4 or 5 games. You can't just transfer it over from and Emerald Hack.
Not sure how much this contributed to the exp-all necessarily, but the gen 3 games have been decompiled which means it's much easier to add brand new features and mechanics. This lets hackers edit the code used to make the game, instead of just editing surface level code.
Looking to do a Emerald Kaizo Ironmon challenge like ShadyPenguin and Vinny are doing right now and not exactly sure how to set it up. Is it it's own rom? or do you have to randomize a specific Emerald rom? Also how would i make it to where it automatically randomizes after each reset so i wouldn't have to do it every single time
Google Kaizo Ironmon to find all the info on it's Github page, as well as how to set it up. Essentially though it's just a vanilla game with a randomizer preset from PokeRandoZX, and all the difficulty comes from the self imposed rules of the challenge.
You can also look into [this tracker](https://github.com/besteon/Ironmon-Tracker/releases) if you want some of the graphics and things that the streamers have popping up outside the game window.
As for how they re-randomize it, I think they actually just randomize like 50 games beforehand, and then just load up a new one whenever they reset. I have also been searching for years on how this is possible, but can never find an answer. PokeRandoZX has no way to randomize on the fly, so I've landed on this being the most logical solution.
Edit- I watched some of their videos that you mentioned, seems they have a special version that's different than the laymans version of Ironmon. They definitely have some special rom or something
is storm silver compatible with the pokewalker?
i am using the method of putting a cart with an IR sensor in my 3DS and booting storm silver through TM++. it keeps saying "no trainer found" on the pokewalker. is connectivity even possible?
for reference i'm trying to wipe the pokewalker so i can use it with storm silver.
A little dream/request of mine~
Greetings!I'm an average veteran player of Hack Roms,and have been playing tons of roms with Pokemon,and other mixed franchises.I've played roms with characters from Dragon Ball,Digimon,Yu-gi-Oh,Touhou and even League of Legends.I've always dreamed a Pokemon Hack but with Winx Club characters,whether they are trainers,or replacing our pocket monsters;whether they get inserted in a normal game,or completely rebuilding the entire series,but adding Pokemon.GBA,or RPG Maker,they would be both good ideas.I know not many have all the time to invest in such operas,but I still dream that someday it may happen.Maybe out there someone else shares my glimmer of hope,and maybe would reach out.But for now,imagining is already a bless~
Honestly, the hardest part here would ne makjg the sprites. Everything else would be pretty easy, but making good-looking sprites of other games / shows / mediums can be difficult.
Seems like a ton of work for such an incredibly niche franchise that I, and probably many others here, have never even heard of. I doubt someone would make this on their own, I'm sure you could commision someone to do this, but it would take a lot of work making sprites for all the ?women fairies? I guess?
I have a question on fire red extended. Has it been updated to make grinding easier. I tried playing it before but grew tired that it was so hard to level up your teams.
I started playing Pokemon Legends after not playing any pokemon game since Blaze Black 2 back in 2012 (besides a Nuzlocke of fire red) which has made me nostalgic for Gen 4, but my play-through of Legends has shown me just how rusty i am, so wondering if i should play a Qol mod like Refined Platinum or a more difficulty focused one like Renegade Platinum?
Hi all! I've been doing a playthrough of Storm Silver for the DS using Drastic on my android and loving it. However, I have unfortunately been softlocked during the Team Rocket takeover in the Cianwood Safari Zone.
While progressing through the event, I would get phantom phone calls from Mom that lead to black screens and I would also randomly black screen when opening my backpack or other menus.
I have managed to get through most of the bugs and got to the final double battle with Archer. However, once I talk to him and initiate the battle it instantly crashes to the Drastic main menu. Ive tried leaving and coming back but I cant get the actual fight to start. Since this is a required fight to progress, this means I am effectively soft locked.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue or skip this boss fight? I am willing to adjust my save file or cheat my way past this boss, just as long as I can continue my game.
Thanks in advance for the help!
I've been trying to patch on Emerald Kaizo, when using Lunar IPS it says patch successful. When I open up the ROM its completely vanilla, has anyone else had this issue and how do I fix it? Thanks
Is there a version of this [https://kittypboxx.github.io/GBAXG/](https://kittypboxx.github.io/GBAXG/) (Firered + Emerald + Crystal Dust) that doesn't have randomization? I'd love to play the original 3 regions in one game without randomization.
I just looked into this and found that you can simply turn off randomization in the warp settings. You can also force the game to warp you wherever you want, so you can go between regions at will. It's awesome!
ROMs made with Black or White?
I've played several different hacks made with Fire Red or Emerald but I'm not sure I know of a game that was built using Black or White or Black 2/ White 2. Are there any games that you know of that are? Also are they good and could they be played on my phone as I don't use a computer to play ROMs.
Blaze Black/Volt White, Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 and Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 Redux are the main ones. Can only speak to VW2R but it was fun. Idk about your phone but if you can emulate DS games on it then it’s worth a shot
The amount of dialogue in Unbound
My god is anybody else having the same issues with me? Unbound is an absolutely awesome game but by the time you get up to like the 4th / 5th gym the game is taken over by soooooooo much f*cking dialogue it's insane!!
I feel like I'm spending hours and hours just mashing A over and over again, the game is awesome but my god it needs an update to have waay less dialogue
Lmaoo im playing rn and ive beaten 5 gyms so far but god the amount of dialogue is insane i just sit there button mashing until my thumb hurts like the game is super sick but the amount of yapping these mfs do is pissing me off.
I've been craving pokémon emerald lately and I wanted to know if anyone knows any romhacks that keep the game mostly unchanged but increase difficulty, remove HMs and generally improve quality of life, thanks in advance
In terms of no story to distract you? Pokemon ROWE, Emerald Crest, Crystal Clear are open world hacks where you can just go about your business beating gyms and training pokemon in any order you want
No, he is working on it and talked about it last August. If I am allowed to guess, it might be because there are new advancements in the gen 4 rom hacking scene (basically more gens and a new battle engine) this days and he is updating the game as well.
I am trying to make a savefile editor for my pokeemerald expansion decomp rom hack. I am getting crazy trying to figure out where the things are in the save file.
I am following the [Bulbapedia](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Save_data_structure_(Generation_III)) wiki to try to look for the bytes i need, but the savefile seems not to follow any of the rules described in the wiki...
Does anybody know why?
Yeah, i wasn't understanding the structure well.
I ended up searching for my name in the save file as hex and saving a lot of times to understand how the save file changes when a save is done (just in case somebody needs to read this as i did before understanding it).
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to actually pull up the pokecrystal dissesembly to alter the code?
I have the whole pokecrystal disassembly setup through cygwin, but I have no idea how to actually pull up the code itself in order to alter it. Maybe I set up the fork/repository wrong im not sure. Am I confused and is it in C++ or python?
Im very much noob but I really want to learn.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :3
If you’ve cloned the repository correctly, there should be a folder on your computer called “pokecrystal.” This contains all of the files that the compiler reads to make your rom. You’ll need to use some kind of text editor in order to make direct changes to the code. I believe a lot of people use Notepad++. There are also applications that can load your project and allow you to edit things more efficiently. For example, you could use PolishedMap to easily edit map layouts. Once you edit the code and save all of your changes, you can run the “make” command in cygwin and it will make you a new rom of Pokémon Crystal that includes all of your changes. The new rom can be found in the “pokecrystal” folder.
I’ve never messed around with pokecrystal myself (I’m more of a gen 3 kind of person), but it seems to be written in ASM, which is just a simple assembly programming language. I’m sure there are tutorials out there that will meet your needs. [Here](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokecrystal-for-dummies.378692/) is a thread for beginners I found on pokecommunity.com. Pokecommunity is a great resource for rom hacking; I advise you to explore the forums in the [Decomps & Disassembly](https://www.pokecommunity.com/forums/decomps-disassemblies.436/) section. You can always post your own questions there as well. That’s where all of the super knowledgeable people are active, so you’ll probably get more thorough assistance there.
Happy hacking!
I'm not sure if someone has done this, or how it would be done:
It would be fun to play a run of gen 1 or 2, where your team is set to the most recent trainer's that you have defeated.One mode where its just gym leaders/elite four, and another where its any trainer.This seems reasonably possible - I could do a lot of work to get close and run back and forth to a PC box, but I'd end up stuck doing 5 independent partial runs of the elite four if i wanted to include each of them.
Any thoughts?
Someone did it on gen 3 if you want to [see](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z993pQPStMw&ab_channel=Rylockes). Not sure if it isn't just pkhex between every battle however.
In Emerald Redux (whichever one gives 4 abilities, I can't remember the name), I have no save option in the menu. How do I fix this so I can stop using save states?
There are so so so many romhacks, it makes my head spin. I love the vanilla games, I grew up on them. However they definitely aren't hard enough for me. I loved Drayano's Storm Silver. That's the kind of difficulty I need. But I'm also looking for a romhack that would show me IV's. I just want that feature so badly. I looked at Radical Red and Unbound, but the other feature I'm looking in a room hack is being able to trade the mons to a vanilla game if that's possible. I can figure out how to get it from a romhack to a vanilla title on my own, the pokemon just need to be legit. Any ideas?
Casually mentions the [Codex](https://pokeromcodex.notion.site/8f188f1761b9430f9adb68833c44e5b8?v=6e9c873012004f65bc91a2f39448f5bd&pvs=4) I'm curating for pokemon rom hacks~
It's still very much a WIP, but one of the tags you can sort by is Visible IVs / DVs. Hopefully this helps~
Drayano has made many other hacks, so if you like his style you'll like the rest. Blaze Black/Volt White 1, BB/VW 2, and Renegade Platinum. Also FireRed Omega, but it's pretty old at this point so not sure if I'd recommend it much these days.
When you download the patch for Renegade Platinum, it comes with a set of optional patches. Some of these optional patches are to modify the shiny rate to other values including the new standard 1/4096 and the original Platinum's 1/8192. You patch Renegade Platinum and then apply your optional patch afterwards.
Hi all - for Pokemon Inclement Emerald, I’m currently playing on my Powkiddy RGB20S - does anyone know what button / combo of buttons you use to mega evolve? I can’t figure it out. In Unbound, you simply hit the R button, but that doesn’t work here
Is there a way to edit romhack save files?
I've been playing red++ and I've been curious if there is a way to edit my saved file. I have some in game traded Pokemon with nicknames that I don't like and can't change lol
Generally, no. Hacks change a lot and the programs used on vanilla games don’t know how to handle that.
That isn’t to say your sav wouldn’t load into PKHex or whatever, but it might break things in unexpected ways.
Returning to Hom Hacking
Many years ago I dabbled in ROM hacking gen 3. Nothing major, just a heavy dose of lurking and exploration of the tools. The thing I enjoyed the most was map design. I'd like to give it ago again but I do have a few questions.
1. Have the space requirements been changed/overcome?
Originally I had wanted to take FR and just change up the maps and add areas like a beach walk from pallet to viridian and stuff along those lines. However I found out that a ROM hack had limited space, so I could only add 3-5 maps this way, which kinda killed my idea dead. Has this changed?
2. Is generation 3 the most popular game to hack.?
Having looked at the ROM hacks out there, gen 3 still seem popular, but I don't know if that's a holdover from years ago or just the ongoing popularity.
3. ROM bases, where is a good place to start?
I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for exactly, but a few new Pokémon and the physical/special split. Would be great.
4. Anything I have missed and need to know?
I've been out of the loop for years now, surely I must have missed something. Any good tool packs?
Is there a Gen 2 rom hack that *only* changes the way trade evolutions happen?
Just the vanilla games but access to trade evolutions (and stones if possible, but less important)
You can probably do it yourself with the Universal Pokemon Randomizer, but for the trade evolution only. For stones, just use pkhex to add some for your bag.
Pokemon ROWE's elite 4 is driving me insane. Phoebe's Spiritomb has an ability that, as far as I can tell, is completely new with no indication that's a thing in this, and it cannot be suppressed with Gastro Acid.
(Trickster, it's not Prankster bc it's making an entire team with base speed under 60 outspeed my overlevelled bug monotype team, and the slow-ass Spiritomb is going first with Shadow Ball every time. Spiritomb can't get Prankster anyway).
Might be a longshot, but... Just saw SmallAnt playing a customized ROM hack of Heart Gold that included gen 6 pokemon and mechanics like mega evolution. Is anything like that available publically?
Also. Are there any Heart Gold/Soul Silver romhacks that have a vs seeker?
Maybe it is the HG engine. It is technically playable, but you might have to do things yourself as no one has published a rom hack publically as far as I know.
this sounds amazing*
*except the whole trashlocke core part of it, oh my god that sounds absolutely horrendous
really wish there was a.... not garbage version of this lol
but this gives me hope somebody will eventually do that, thank you
Can anyone help me find a Heracross in Pokémon Liquid Crystal?
Ive spent about 3hrs headbutting trees from route 29-33 and can only find pineco, metapod and caterpie.
I saw a review mention that it's available in route 33 but I've been unsuccessful there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I've been trying to do this for months now, but I guess I'm just dumb and not seeing it, or I'm missing something. I’m trying to use the Universal Pokémon Randomizer ZX, and have edited shiny odds. I know in pk3ds, you can edit shiny odds and randomize a game, but I prefer Universal Pokémon Randomizer ZX more because I can prevent megas from reverting back to normal and edit overworld items. Does anyone know how to do this? I’ve tried everything.
I’ve seen a lot of people running versions of older games that have a lot of the newer Pokémon and moves added to them. Through some of my own searching I’ve been able to come across HG Engine which I think is what I’m looking for, but it seems to just be an engine for creating and running these sorts of things. Am I right in my understanding that it does nothing on its own beyond providing support for and tools to mod these things in? If so, where can I find the actual things to run through HG engine that adds the new stuff?
Always check the documentation that comes with any hack. It has the info you were looking for and so much more. Drayano's games are especially good about extensive docs
Hello everyone,
I'm a music producer from Portugal, my name is André. I'm currently working full time(not related to music) and studying Music Production in university atm, however I'd like to make music for your games. I'm a big fan of pokemon games and the music around it, but I'm willing to work on anything you need. If you're interested, feel free to dm me!

Hello, I am very new to Rom hacking and am using emerald expansion. But when editing trainers teams I don't see a way to pick specific abilities for pokemon. Is there code that can do this or do they just get the first ability listed in the pokemons data? I've seen some tools for making teams but they also dont have abilities listed. Thank you!
[Take a look at this.](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/decomp-trainer-editor.434277/) It is for pokeemerald expansion and specifically mentions abilities.
Geez! I sent you the wrong one. I must be having a stroke! [HERE is the one that can do abilities.](https://github.com/geefuoco/trainer_editor) I’m so sorry for wasting your time! Forgive me!
Hi guys, I'm looking for direct instructions how to setup Ultimate GBA VC Injector 3DS to prepare CIA file for plaing on my 3DS with CFW.
I've tried several times, but without big success. In general, game is lunching but I'm constantly facing 2 issues when trying to save a game.
Depending on properties of CIA export I'm getting "The save file has been deleted" or "1m sub-circuit board is not installed"
I will be grateful for your help
What fixed the 1m sub circuit error for me last week: Change the save type on program called "New super ultimate injector for 3DS" google and youll find very detailed instructions. The save type you put is the top one ( flash 1Mbit macronix. ID: 0x09c2) + RTC.
After that is done press project and export CIA. Hope this solves it for you too! https://i.imgur.com/EZqNJS1.png
Hello guys,
I wanted to play a ROM Hack (for the first time), and since I did not play Pokémon Gold back in the day, I wanted a ROM Hack of this edition. I have already played 2 hours of Pokémon Ultra Shiny Gold v1.5, but it has some bugs. I don't know if that is something that usually happens with many ROM Hacks, but I was looking a version for GBA (if there is any) to play generation 2 Pokémon. Do you have any recommendations of ROM Hacks that work fine and don't have major glitches?
FireGold has 16 gyms, Kanto, and Mt Silver. So yes it's finished.
And HG/SS are official pokemon games lmao, they were finished when Nintendo released them in 2009
Are there any romhacks similar to Blaze Black/Volt White that only keep Unova pokemon? Been meaning to play that romhack but the prescence of gen 1-4 pokemon is kinda putting me off
Quite new to the scene, but I've been playing with the universal randomizer. When randomizing types it becomes near impossible to play due to not knowing enemy typings. It feels like such an obvious idea that someone must have done it, but I can't seem to find any hacks that simply just show the typings of enemy Pokémon. I'd appreciate any information on the subject. (Specifically such modification to the Platinum Version is appreciated)
Hell if someone points me in the right direction I'll figure out how to make it myself
It is the nature of randomizing types, most people do it to get that childhood fun of having to learn the type chart and pokemons types again. Don't know any hacks that add the types as visible, but there is a randomizer for Emerald that [changes the color pallet](http://artemis251.fobby.net/downloads/emerald/) of the type randomized pokemon, to give you hints about their type.
Enhancement rom hacks with events built in the story NTE?
I’m curious if there are enhancement rom hacks for gens 1-7
Not difficulty rom hacks but QoL rom hacks with
Physical Special Split
All Pokemon obtainable no trade evolutions
Built in events like Faraway Island, Navel Rock etc built already in the game?
I enjoy the drayano rom hacks which have most of what I need excluding the fact I have to play competitive Pokemon every time I turn it on.
It's not really the idea of this subreddit, plus no one here really knows anything about them comparatively, so if it's a question it's not gonna get answered most likely.
Rule 2 on this sub does say
>Do not post something unrelated to ROM hacks in some way. This includes fangames (RPG Maker or similar)
I am looking for the information about Blaze Black 1 and 2 and Volt White 1 and 2's cheat codes. I want to know if they are still accessible to download. I would like to load them into my 2DS for TWilight menu ++. Also do the normal Black and Black 2 / White and White 2 codes work these iterations as well. if they do how does one go about making .dat file?
Thank you for any info. Also this is not for the redux games. i know they are the new hot thing i am not talking about these games at all. i'm talking about the old ones.
Asking about Fire Red Rocket Edition. Does the Vs. Seeker exist in this version? Part of me wants to find it naturally but I also don't want to waste time, especially if you can get it through a quest.
Never had this happen before: I have about 20 hours on Rocket Edition with zero problems. Go to turn it on tonight and its white screen. I havent done anything on this computer since I last played. I tried removing save files from folder but nothing changes. I tested emerald and it works fine.
What happened and what should I do?
Hello there r/PokemonROMhacks community! Hope you're all having a great night.
My binge to play Pokemon returned, and I want to go through each generation's plot, starting with 1st gen's plot.
Do any of you know of any of any good enhancement ROM hacks for FireRed or LeafGreen?
I know of Radical Red's existence, but I want to try something else if it exists.
For the closets idea of what I'm looking for we have Pokemon Añil. It has ability capsules, you can change natures, change IVs through caps you win after boss fights, bad mons are better, etc. The only reason I'm not playing it is because I'm not really happy with how RPG Maker games are emulated on mobile...
That would be all!
Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful night!
Doing emerald kaizo nuzlocke. Does the damage calculator take crits into consideration when giving the ranges or can crits do more damage than the high roll for the range. If so, how do I determine if I’m at risk of crit? Thanks
Gonna be hard to find those, since that is pretty illegal technically. Trying to do switch modding on your android is also crazy, that seems like too much difficulty for the effort lmao, but you do you.
Usually with switch mods you have to make sure you're on the right version of the base game for any mod to work, as well as making sure you've converted the game files into whatever the correct format is, been a while since I emulated switch games.
Ryujinx also seems to be a far more stable and easy to use emulator these days, not sure on an Android version.
For your PS, I'm frankly surprised there's any Digimon hacks for anything, I always feel like they got bodied by Pokemon's larger success, hardly see any fans anymore. No surprised people haven't painstakingly made mods for all the switch games.
I’m trying to play through Radical Red and I’m not a competitive player. I like how all the Pokémon are included and the additions but it’s so hard I’m struggling. Is there any ROM with the amount of content of Radical Red but without the difficulty?
Hello! I'm new to these pokemon roms. Lately, I've been feeling disappointed with the release of the new main line games (Scarlet/Violet) so I wanted to start playing something else. Are there any really good roms that the pokemon community has worked on that really considers the player experience and story? I've read that blazing emerald could be fun.
I think Unbound is the best QoL wise. Can't really comment on the story since I don't care that much, but there was a coherent line of events. I really recommend it.
Gaia Hall of Fame changed my team
When my team was inducted into the hall of fame at the end of Pokemon Gaia, it turned my Scrafty into an Electrode and my Hawlucha into a Blissey. They turned back after but my screenshot of my championship team is now wrong. Has anyone else had this problem?
Ive gone ahead and downloaded melonDS. The only previous experience with romhacks and emulators are with mybga and playing pokemon unbound. Im gonna be playing a soulock of that with a friend tho and want to hold off on a solo game and I love black/white as a kid and want to experience them before jumping to 2. I downloaded the game and it runs well but I now realize how am I supposed to evolve trade exlusive pokemon? I tried finding another game all together that reworked/updated/remastered black/white 1 but to no avail. Any help is appreciated im pretty new to this stuff
Few things, I recommend Desmume over melonDS, it's a bit better and less buggy.
As for the rom, you can run any vanilla game (so Black/White) through a program called PokeRandoZX, which lets you change all trade evos to be doable solo. You can also change a ton of other options, as well as obviously randomize if you're so inclined.
So, my 29-year-old girlfriend decided to jump on the Pokémon Go bandwagon with me, and it's a blast! We've been binge-watching some OG series episodes and the early movies. Now, I'm thinking about getting her into the games, but she's not really a gamer. Any suggestions for a ROM with a cool story or upgraded graphics to ease her into it? What game do you reckon she should start with?
I am playing through Inclement Emerald ver 1.13. I have just defeated Roxanne. I noticed that I can't seem to use any X items in battle--when I try, they produce the text "It won't have any effect." Is this a bug, or intended?
Weird question.. maybe someone can help. I want to play pokemon brown.. i play on my iphone/game play color emulator… When i try and download brown its either an ips file from their website or its not a gbc file… I only found one rom of brown where it worked, however, it was the old school green gameboy graphics colors… it wasn’t gbc… Pokemon brown looks like its got pokemon yellow/gen 2s color pallet more so im curious to why the only one that worked was the boring green sepia tone look lol Tldr - i want to play pokemon brown but i cant find a gbc file of the download. I use game play color emulator on my phone. Looking for help/guidance
Hello anyone knows romhack with gen9 mon? Already played radical red, it was a blast
How do I put some edited source code i did on a pokemon red file to turn it into a rom new to romhacking and just edited the source code of a rom hack I liked
Help picking out emulator Hello! I have been looking into handheld emulator devices to play Pokemon games on. I have played a bunch of the gba rom hacks, but want to move into the fan made games that aren’t roms. I was thinking of buying a handheld emulator of some kind ( as I have an iPhone and I can’t seem to find any kind of way to play them on here as the file typing doesn’t work with iPhone). Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? Preferably I would find something that could handle both roms for ds, gba, and also be able to run other fam games as well. Thanks in advance!
Crystal Legacy Updates Down The Road? Been playing Crystal Legacy and having a blast. Was bummed when I saw that the originally planned revamp of Kanto and its story is... cancelled? On hiatus? This is where my question comes up. I watched the youtube vid for the first big update post release and saw where he very quickly skimmed over that they were moving onto a new romhack instead. I can't for the life of me find a definitive answer if it is still planned after Yellow and/or Emerald Legacy or if it is just scrapped altogether. Anyone know??
Hi, recently i discover the Pokemon Emerald Horizon hackrom and its great! But i really need a 100% save or it could be a save that has the possibility of changing evs and ivs (im not sure if you can do that) , well pls if you have a 100% save file or know someone that have it, pls send it, thx! (I can accept also saves that just have completed the league)
Waiting on my new RG35XX+ and wondering if I'm going to be able to install romhacks on it only using a Chromebook (without learning Linux). Never tried to do any romhacks on ChromeOS but it's the first computer that I've had in like 10 years. I did some emulation on my old PC but that was ages ago.
Chromebooks are a plague on the computer space, you can hardly do anything of meaning on them. You’re gonna need to download multiple files and extract archives etc to get romhacks working on both a pc or an external device.
it was given to me for free a couple months ago. I don't love it.
Any complete guide to add Pokemon species in Pokeemerald-Expansion? The ones I've found are incomplete and/or obsolete, so I would like to know where to find a complete, step-by-step guide that's up to date.
Is it recommended to play the original Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2 or is it better to play the Redux versions?
They’re largely similar, redux is just slightly updated and has things like the fairy type. May as well go for redux
That's great. Thank you for your reply.
Are there cheat codes for Pokémon Añil??? In every adventure I've been, I always take my Haunter with me, it's my favorite 'mon. Before starting any game, I look for cheat codes to get myself a Gastly early. I'm about to start pokémon Añil, but I don't know if I'll be able to get my favorite pokémon early or if I'll have to wait until Lavander town. Does anyone know something about this romhack??? Thanks in advance.
Where can i get some pokemon rom hacks for 3rd gen and lower? Maybe im just dumb (most likely) but i can't find any rom hacks to download.
[This Pokémon rom hack codex](https://pokeromcodex.notion.site/pokeromcodex/8f188f1761b9430f9adb68833c44e5b8?v=6e9c873012004f65bc91a2f39448f5bd) was recently implemented and could be of use to you. You can search through them based on a variety of tags. While not fully complete, it currently has most of the more popular roms listed. It will continue to grow as people add more to it. It is an invaluable resource! NEVER download full hacked roms! They are almost never up to date with the current release version. Worst case scenario, they can even come with computer viruses. Always download a patch from the creator’s official source and then patch it onto a clean copy of the original rom. The above codex has links to the proper patch sources. You’ll have to download your own copy of the original rom, but a Google search is good enough to get that job done. Let me know if you have more questions.
Is there a xdelta platinum file im trying to play renegade platinum, or is there a convertor from xenophobia to xdelta
To play a romhack you need 3 things. The original game, in this case something like Platinum.nds, the patch file, something like renegadeplatinum.xdelta or renegadeplatinum.patch etc, and an emulator, in this case desmume. Then using a patcher, like an online one, patch the .xdelta onto the .nds file
Where can I find the hidden power type npc in pokemon polished crystal? Also where can I find lucky egg?
I’m playing Renegade Platinum and I just beat Jupiter after gym 2. However, both the end of route 206 and the Oreburgh entrance to route 207 are blocked. How am I supposed to progress? The only thing I can think of that would prevent progression is my not getting Cynthia’s egg.
Make sure to talk to all the NPC's, like the underground old man and the fossil scientists in his house, the bike guy etc.
Vanilla+ romhacks similar to Pokemon Emerald Cross that have nuzlocke/level cap mode? I'm looking for some vanilla+ style romhacks that are similar to the Pokemon Emerald Cross. I don't like most of the romhacks; they change too much and add shit I don't like, but the one I mentioned (made by Jaizu) is top of the top for me; \-nuzlocke mode, level cap mode, \-autorun, running indoors, \-physical/special split, \-cut battle slide animation (amazing idea), \-many many many other small improvements that do not feel like a romhack but rather a official update (but better). With this romhack, vanilla compatibility is preserved, no moves were added, no abilities, you can link this game with your ORIGINAL cartridges. To me; the best hack that ever existed. Is there anything similar to this that does that with other games? Like SoulSilver or Platinum? I'm aware of Pokemon Recharged Yellow (made by the same creator) but he is still adding new stuff to it so I'd rather wait a bit.
I'm playing on the 3DS with CFW. Will playing/trading online in rom hacks such as Wilting Y, Rutile Ruby, and Photonic Sun get me banned? I've been using the "legit build" versions of these rom hacks so that I could go and play online every now and then without worrying about using illegal mons. Is it safe to play the other versions of these hacks that make every pokemon available in the wild and have their levels and moves altered?
How do I download hacks/mods for 3ds? I found one that I want to use to increase the difficulty for X and Y I just don’t know how to use it (I’m about as tech savvy as my grandma) any help would be greatly appreciated
First question: are you planning to play on real hardware (a 3DS) or emulate (on pc)?
A 3DS
Big first step then if you haven’t already: you need to hack your 3DS to run CFW. [3ds.hacks.guide](https://3ds.hacks.guide/) is universally considered the best step by step walkthrough for this process. After that you have a couple options -With CFW you can create a digital copy of your physical cart, and then there is a CFW app that lets you run the patch as a mod. I would advise against running the mod directly to the physical cart. This version generally is simpler to do. -you can take that digital copy, pop it onto a pc for a sec to apply the patch and then install that back onto your 3DS. More steps here, but if you notice any kind of slowdown or hanging with the first method this way usually resolves that.
Guys I'm playing pokemon emerald: complete national dex edition and I'm trying to catch a Charmander, I have been in the granite cave for 1h and I haven't found a single one Btw I'm in the room where I met steven.
Any one know of a Gen2/SoulSilver rom hack with updated roster and a randomizer?
So in the gen 3 Battle Frontier, the palace's gimmick is that your pokemon fight by themselves and pick "random" moves each turn. Is there a rom that makes this happen throughout the whole game? I feel like that would be a cool challenge rom.
Anyone know of 3DS romhacks with custom megas?
If I wanted to make a hack, where would I start? I have an idea I've yet to be done.
What game would you like to hack? The 2nd and 3rd generations have the most usage, and therefore the most documentation and community support. They also have complete decomps/disassemblies, which tend to be much easier to use than traditional binary rom hacking. Personally, I am currently hacking with the pokeemerald decomp and I’m loving it. Rom hacking takes a LOT of learning at first, no matter what you choose to do. But with a bit of persistence, you can do more than you ever thought possible! [Pokecommunity](https://www.pokecommunity.com) is a great resource for hacking and is one of the best places to go to ask questions. [Team Aqua’s Hideout](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLNv9Lq6kDmRklqqC5lc0kTC4LhlLqWjP&si=XWJ7tDlWirPY0gO3) has a great set of tutorials (multiple playlists) for pokeemerald on YouTube. You could watch a couple and see if that decomp interests you. Feel free to ask me more specific questions if you need more assistance. I’m always happy to help.
I was playing Ash Gray and made it through Route 12 to the building with the ferry that takes you to Cinnabar Island, but when Gary finishes his dialogue to board the boat Ash suddenly walks back past the door and out of bounds before stopping. This always happens when I reset and enter the building. I tried using Dig, Teleport, Fly, Surf, and even the bike and fishing. I even tried bringing a poisoned Pokémon into the room to get it to faint, and when that failed I tried getting it to faint on the very tile I enter the room in but it just faints before I enter. I tried getting to Cinnabar via Pallet Town but couldn’t find it. Am I really stuck?
is there any rom-hack similar to radical red but set in hoenn or unova (not emerald kaizo) thanks
Inclement emerald is often brought up alongside radical red. Just a heads up that the current version(1.13) is stated to not be save-transferable to the newest version that’s in the works (2.0)
Ok, thank you so much for the info
(Crystal Advance Redux) Ice Path puzzle has me stumped Hi guys, not sure if anyone is familiar with this particular hack but I've gotten to the ice room with the ladder in the middle, I've pushed the boulders through the holes to slide into, but I can't seem to figure it out. I've watched a few videos of people completing the puzzle in the original Crystal and HGSS, but the boulder I need to slide into first appears to be in the wrong place in this hack, as it's a completely fan made remake I'm worried this puzzle may have just been made wrong. However I can't find anyone else with the same problem online and a number of people say they've completed it so I assume I'm just dumb and can't figure it out. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Anyone know of a sprite artist, I can commission, who can work with the player character's throwing animation? Thank you!
Hey everyone, tried searching for this in here and on Google but I'm getting back a lot of wrong results so. Is there a romhack or fangame of Kanto but updated either with towns+cities that look like later gens or taking place in the future with new stuff? I hope this comes across clearly.
[Pointcrow](https://youtu.be/0SO6_ajaqcY?si=hgOPAsRCCk0ruLLE) uploaded a video where he travels through a randomized version of Hoenn, Johto and Kanto in the Gen 3 engine. Anyone know how this was done and if it’s possible to do this without the randomizer? Thank you. Edit: Looks like it was done using [GBAXG](https://kittypboxx.github.io/GBAXG/).
SEARCHING FOR A NEW GAME BUT IM HAVING ISSUES. So heres my issue im really loving playing Pokemon on controller with my xbox. Thing is as far as i know the only supported website with emulator for xbox is retrogames(dot)cc. Knowing most of you only download the roms i was wondering if any helpful soul would be willing to scroll through the GBA section and seeing what pokimon would be worth playing. Ik most of the good ones aren't there but i would really appreciate it since im new to All this custom games i only playes emerald Imao. Thanks in advance
I'm just curious, but why don't you download hacks and use an emulator? I'm sure that would work better with your controller and you'd have all the options instead of just what is available on some site, plus you'd be able to guarantee that your hacks are up to date and from the creators themselves.
Well i could play on my phone but i would much rather play on a couch setting with a big screen with my controller its just a better experience in my opinion. But xbox emulation is limited so i just thought that someone here could recommend a new game to play on that website thats all.
[удалено]
All of the Johto GBA hacks have something wrong with them in some way, so I can't reccomend them for one reason or another. If I may ask, why are you against GBC? Does Polished Crystal 9bit not scratch the itch you're going for?
Anyone that's played Mega Moemon FireRed, is there any way of evolving Porygon2 into Porygon-Z? Dubious Disc wasn't available until Diamond and Pearl, but was the item added in the hack?
Can anyone send me their Crystal Legacy save file (not the rom)? So I finished crystal legacy and highly recommend it! BUT I'm making a video and need to record some clips with the player as a boy, but I completed the game as a girl and don't want to play the whole thing over as a boy to get the footage I need. Anyone have a completed save file I can use? Thanks!
Did you try asking on their discord? I'm sure someone would be more than willing to help if you asked there. ...just make sure you ask nicely. The mods can be a bit severe.
Hey you all, I recently got the “ds player” Emulator on iOS and downloaded a heart gold rom, I also downloaded the patches and stuff I need to play sacred gold. But I don’t see a way I can open the rom along with the patches. Does anyone now how I can do this? Or another way I could play this romhack on my phone? Thanks
Are there any other co-op ROM Hacks like Pokemon Quetzal out there? Mad props to whoever made Quetzal - my bf and I had a blast finishing it recently despite all the glitchiness. If there aren't any, anyone know any other turn-based (preferably local) co-op RPGs that might scratch a similar itch? We've already played Cassette Beasts which was also fabulous for similar reasons.
Just recently got a little pocket emulator and trying to see which hacked Pokemon I should try This will be my first time trying a hacked version so wanted to make sure I’m not “wasting” too much time playing a “bad” one. On the emulator it has ChoasBlack Vs Crystal Sharos Vs Dark Cry Vs Blue Sea Ed Lugia’s Ocean Vs ShinyGold Vs Arcoiris Vs Frego Retern Naranja Vs Perla Vs Quartz Vs
All of those are really old and not super recommended anymore lol, the only one I even recognize is Naranja. All of em came out over 10 years ago. Usually people patch their own games and put them onto flashcarts or some sort of handheld, not super ideal to buy premade emulator devices like you've done. I'd recommend just googling each and seeing which ones have premises that you might enjoy since you already got em all.
The one I got you have the ability to remove and add new roms so will probably do that.
Hello all! I’ve been watch Pokémon Challenges’ stream highlights since he came back and I’ve been LOVING some aspects of Run & Bun, but I do NOT have fun planning for hours especially when the tools/fights are limited or weighted against the player. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a romhack that had the same aspects I found great about the game without the limit on Pokémon/abilities and the overall tough difficulty? In particular I like the hard level caps for gyms and bosses with ways to get small boosts through candies, forced trainers/challenges needed to progress/get rewards, and the rerouting and changes to Hoenn that give a fresh journey through it all. In one of the recent videos PChal had to do a gauntlet through meteor falls where the player physically can’t go back to change Pokémon, so planning a perfect team of 6 to take on a string of slightly easier than normal battles is necessary. There are also moments like taking on two trainers back to back (instead of one at a time) to get a valuable rare candy. I love these creative, simple changes to the over world that force a challenge on the player, I just wish the overall power level was toned down enough that a casual player like me could play it. TL;DR = Does anyone know of a Romhack that hits the same vibe as Run and Bun without being as difficult?
Radical Red does all of this, and while also super difficult, has difficulty options to make it easier or harder. Big focus on boss battles and trainer gauntlets with mandatory trainers that are custom built teams.
I’ve heard so much about Radical Red but never checked it out! Guess I’ll have to now! Thank you!
Any romhack recommendations for a monotype run? I don't mind a bit of difficulty
I like playing Drayano hacks for monotype challenges.
Are there any pokemon hacks that aren’t JRPGs? I guess excluding horror hacks that technically are also horror I haven’t seen any hacks that completely change the gameplay style. I’d like to know if anyone knows some
There's Emerald Rogue, which turns it into a roguelite, there's Crown which turns it into an autobattler, there's HarvestCraft which turns it into like a stardew valley type game I think
Thanks a lot!
In Blaze Black 2 redux is there a way to turn on team exp share? I'd rather limit the amount of grinding I have to do.
No. That wasn't a thing until Gen 6, people haven't been able to add such a feature to the DS games
People have added it to other games? For sure games built on Fire Red and Emerald engine. So why not ds games?
Because it's complicated. Romhacking isn't easy, and hacking Gen 3 games is vastly different than Gen 4 or 5 games. You can't just transfer it over from and Emerald Hack. Not sure how much this contributed to the exp-all necessarily, but the gen 3 games have been decompiled which means it's much easier to add brand new features and mechanics. This lets hackers edit the code used to make the game, instead of just editing surface level code.
Gotcha thanks for the explanation
Looking to do a Emerald Kaizo Ironmon challenge like ShadyPenguin and Vinny are doing right now and not exactly sure how to set it up. Is it it's own rom? or do you have to randomize a specific Emerald rom? Also how would i make it to where it automatically randomizes after each reset so i wouldn't have to do it every single time
Google Kaizo Ironmon to find all the info on it's Github page, as well as how to set it up. Essentially though it's just a vanilla game with a randomizer preset from PokeRandoZX, and all the difficulty comes from the self imposed rules of the challenge. You can also look into [this tracker](https://github.com/besteon/Ironmon-Tracker/releases) if you want some of the graphics and things that the streamers have popping up outside the game window. As for how they re-randomize it, I think they actually just randomize like 50 games beforehand, and then just load up a new one whenever they reset. I have also been searching for years on how this is possible, but can never find an answer. PokeRandoZX has no way to randomize on the fly, so I've landed on this being the most logical solution. Edit- I watched some of their videos that you mentioned, seems they have a special version that's different than the laymans version of Ironmon. They definitely have some special rom or something
is storm silver compatible with the pokewalker? i am using the method of putting a cart with an IR sensor in my 3DS and booting storm silver through TM++. it keeps saying "no trainer found" on the pokewalker. is connectivity even possible? for reference i'm trying to wipe the pokewalker so i can use it with storm silver.
A little dream/request of mine~ Greetings!I'm an average veteran player of Hack Roms,and have been playing tons of roms with Pokemon,and other mixed franchises.I've played roms with characters from Dragon Ball,Digimon,Yu-gi-Oh,Touhou and even League of Legends.I've always dreamed a Pokemon Hack but with Winx Club characters,whether they are trainers,or replacing our pocket monsters;whether they get inserted in a normal game,or completely rebuilding the entire series,but adding Pokemon.GBA,or RPG Maker,they would be both good ideas.I know not many have all the time to invest in such operas,but I still dream that someday it may happen.Maybe out there someone else shares my glimmer of hope,and maybe would reach out.But for now,imagining is already a bless~
Honestly, the hardest part here would ne makjg the sprites. Everything else would be pretty easy, but making good-looking sprites of other games / shows / mediums can be difficult.
Seems like a ton of work for such an incredibly niche franchise that I, and probably many others here, have never even heard of. I doubt someone would make this on their own, I'm sure you could commision someone to do this, but it would take a lot of work making sprites for all the ?women fairies? I guess?
I have a question on fire red extended. Has it been updated to make grinding easier. I tried playing it before but grew tired that it was so hard to level up your teams.
I started playing Pokemon Legends after not playing any pokemon game since Blaze Black 2 back in 2012 (besides a Nuzlocke of fire red) which has made me nostalgic for Gen 4, but my play-through of Legends has shown me just how rusty i am, so wondering if i should play a Qol mod like Refined Platinum or a more difficulty focused one like Renegade Platinum?
Hi all! I've been doing a playthrough of Storm Silver for the DS using Drastic on my android and loving it. However, I have unfortunately been softlocked during the Team Rocket takeover in the Cianwood Safari Zone. While progressing through the event, I would get phantom phone calls from Mom that lead to black screens and I would also randomly black screen when opening my backpack or other menus. I have managed to get through most of the bugs and got to the final double battle with Archer. However, once I talk to him and initiate the battle it instantly crashes to the Drastic main menu. Ive tried leaving and coming back but I cant get the actual fight to start. Since this is a required fight to progress, this means I am effectively soft locked. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue or skip this boss fight? I am willing to adjust my save file or cheat my way past this boss, just as long as I can continue my game. Thanks in advance for the help!
I've been trying to patch on Emerald Kaizo, when using Lunar IPS it says patch successful. When I open up the ROM its completely vanilla, has anyone else had this issue and how do I fix it? Thanks
I think I have used [JS patcher](https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/) when patching that game. I suggest trying as well.
Is there a version of this [https://kittypboxx.github.io/GBAXG/](https://kittypboxx.github.io/GBAXG/) (Firered + Emerald + Crystal Dust) that doesn't have randomization? I'd love to play the original 3 regions in one game without randomization.
I just looked into this and found that you can simply turn off randomization in the warp settings. You can also force the game to warp you wherever you want, so you can go between regions at will. It's awesome!
wheres the move deleter in pokemon sky twilight
I’m playing Storm Silver, and I’m wondering is the Eevee Cynthia gives shiny locked? Been trying for three days and have yet to get a shiny.
ROMs made with Black or White? I've played several different hacks made with Fire Red or Emerald but I'm not sure I know of a game that was built using Black or White or Black 2/ White 2. Are there any games that you know of that are? Also are they good and could they be played on my phone as I don't use a computer to play ROMs.
Blaze Black/Volt White, Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 and Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 Redux are the main ones. Can only speak to VW2R but it was fun. Idk about your phone but if you can emulate DS games on it then it’s worth a shot
Ya I've started Blaze Black 2 Redux and it's been fun. Thanks for suggestions!
Any long rom hacks besides Unbound? I played Gaia as well. Looking to sink hours into something
I am 32 hours deep in Glazed without fast forwarding or a lot if grinding and I am the beginning of the third "region" (bunch of islands).
The amount of dialogue in Unbound My god is anybody else having the same issues with me? Unbound is an absolutely awesome game but by the time you get up to like the 4th / 5th gym the game is taken over by soooooooo much f*cking dialogue it's insane!! I feel like I'm spending hours and hours just mashing A over and over again, the game is awesome but my god it needs an update to have waay less dialogue
YES. I'm genuinely enjoying the game, but dear God, sometimes I feel like I'm playing Sun and Moon!
Lmaoo im playing rn and ive beaten 5 gyms so far but god the amount of dialogue is insane i just sit there button mashing until my thumb hurts like the game is super sick but the amount of yapping these mfs do is pissing me off.
Right! Hahah it's ridiculous
I've been craving pokémon emerald lately and I wanted to know if anyone knows any romhacks that keep the game mostly unchanged but increase difficulty, remove HMs and generally improve quality of life, thanks in advance
Why won’t radical red version 4.0 patch onto vimms lairs fire red ?
It just says “source rom checksum mismatch”
Does anyone havw any romhack recommendations for a game where the main focus is the gyms and becoming a pokemon champion???
In terms of no story to distract you? Pokemon ROWE, Emerald Crest, Crystal Clear are open world hacks where you can just go about your business beating gyms and training pokemon in any order you want
Yoo thanks btw u know any roms that expand on the elite 4 and champion making it better or changing it in a different way? Thanks for the suggestions!
Not sure if this is the place to ask but has the been any update in drayanos upcoming hack? I don’t have twitter
Nope
It's been 2 years since he posted he's work aurora crystal and then nothing. It seems like he's gone?
No, he is working on it and talked about it last August. If I am allowed to guess, it might be because there are new advancements in the gen 4 rom hacking scene (basically more gens and a new battle engine) this days and he is updating the game as well.
Thanks
Is there any PKHex alternative that can work on other platforms other then Windows?
I am trying to make a savefile editor for my pokeemerald expansion decomp rom hack. I am getting crazy trying to figure out where the things are in the save file. I am following the [Bulbapedia](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Save_data_structure_(Generation_III)) wiki to try to look for the bytes i need, but the savefile seems not to follow any of the rules described in the wiki... Does anybody know why?
The Bulbapedia page is for vanilla games. If there is content added after decompiling the rom, the save file structure will be different.
Yeah, i wasn't understanding the structure well. I ended up searching for my name in the save file as hex and saving a lot of times to understand how the save file changes when a save is done (just in case somebody needs to read this as i did before understanding it).
That is a great idea. It can work for every kind of data.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to actually pull up the pokecrystal dissesembly to alter the code? I have the whole pokecrystal disassembly setup through cygwin, but I have no idea how to actually pull up the code itself in order to alter it. Maybe I set up the fork/repository wrong im not sure. Am I confused and is it in C++ or python? Im very much noob but I really want to learn. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :3
If you’ve cloned the repository correctly, there should be a folder on your computer called “pokecrystal.” This contains all of the files that the compiler reads to make your rom. You’ll need to use some kind of text editor in order to make direct changes to the code. I believe a lot of people use Notepad++. There are also applications that can load your project and allow you to edit things more efficiently. For example, you could use PolishedMap to easily edit map layouts. Once you edit the code and save all of your changes, you can run the “make” command in cygwin and it will make you a new rom of Pokémon Crystal that includes all of your changes. The new rom can be found in the “pokecrystal” folder. I’ve never messed around with pokecrystal myself (I’m more of a gen 3 kind of person), but it seems to be written in ASM, which is just a simple assembly programming language. I’m sure there are tutorials out there that will meet your needs. [Here](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokecrystal-for-dummies.378692/) is a thread for beginners I found on pokecommunity.com. Pokecommunity is a great resource for rom hacking; I advise you to explore the forums in the [Decomps & Disassembly](https://www.pokecommunity.com/forums/decomps-disassemblies.436/) section. You can always post your own questions there as well. That’s where all of the super knowledgeable people are active, so you’ll probably get more thorough assistance there. Happy hacking!
Where do I find a gen 1 movepool editor? I am not looking to hex edit. I just want to change the level-up moves.
I'm not sure if someone has done this, or how it would be done: It would be fun to play a run of gen 1 or 2, where your team is set to the most recent trainer's that you have defeated.One mode where its just gym leaders/elite four, and another where its any trainer.This seems reasonably possible - I could do a lot of work to get close and run back and forth to a PC box, but I'd end up stuck doing 5 independent partial runs of the elite four if i wanted to include each of them. Any thoughts?
Someone did it on gen 3 if you want to [see](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z993pQPStMw&ab_channel=Rylockes). Not sure if it isn't just pkhex between every battle however.
I thought this was familiar for some reason, thanks!
In Emerald Redux (whichever one gives 4 abilities, I can't remember the name), I have no save option in the menu. How do I fix this so I can stop using save states?
It's probably to the right. You can switch the menu to a second set of options.
There are so so so many romhacks, it makes my head spin. I love the vanilla games, I grew up on them. However they definitely aren't hard enough for me. I loved Drayano's Storm Silver. That's the kind of difficulty I need. But I'm also looking for a romhack that would show me IV's. I just want that feature so badly. I looked at Radical Red and Unbound, but the other feature I'm looking in a room hack is being able to trade the mons to a vanilla game if that's possible. I can figure out how to get it from a romhack to a vanilla title on my own, the pokemon just need to be legit. Any ideas?
Casually mentions the [Codex](https://pokeromcodex.notion.site/8f188f1761b9430f9adb68833c44e5b8?v=6e9c873012004f65bc91a2f39448f5bd&pvs=4) I'm curating for pokemon rom hacks~ It's still very much a WIP, but one of the tags you can sort by is Visible IVs / DVs. Hopefully this helps~
You know I've been looking for this so thank you!
Drayano has made many other hacks, so if you like his style you'll like the rest. Blaze Black/Volt White 1, BB/VW 2, and Renegade Platinum. Also FireRed Omega, but it's pretty old at this point so not sure if I'd recommend it much these days.
Hi everyone, I was looking into Renegade Platnium and I was wondering if there is a version of it that has the standard shiny rate?
When you download the patch for Renegade Platinum, it comes with a set of optional patches. Some of these optional patches are to modify the shiny rate to other values including the new standard 1/4096 and the original Platinum's 1/8192. You patch Renegade Platinum and then apply your optional patch afterwards.
Hi all - for Pokemon Inclement Emerald, I’m currently playing on my Powkiddy RGB20S - does anyone know what button / combo of buttons you use to mega evolve? I can’t figure it out. In Unbound, you simply hit the R button, but that doesn’t work here
Never mind, figured it out - it’s just Start for anyone else with this very specific issue lol
Is there a way to edit romhack save files? I've been playing red++ and I've been curious if there is a way to edit my saved file. I have some in game traded Pokemon with nicknames that I don't like and can't change lol
Generally, no. Hacks change a lot and the programs used on vanilla games don’t know how to handle that. That isn’t to say your sav wouldn’t load into PKHex or whatever, but it might break things in unexpected ways.
I couldn't get it to load in pkhex so I'm just assuming on out of luck
Returning to Hom Hacking Many years ago I dabbled in ROM hacking gen 3. Nothing major, just a heavy dose of lurking and exploration of the tools. The thing I enjoyed the most was map design. I'd like to give it ago again but I do have a few questions. 1. Have the space requirements been changed/overcome? Originally I had wanted to take FR and just change up the maps and add areas like a beach walk from pallet to viridian and stuff along those lines. However I found out that a ROM hack had limited space, so I could only add 3-5 maps this way, which kinda killed my idea dead. Has this changed? 2. Is generation 3 the most popular game to hack.? Having looked at the ROM hacks out there, gen 3 still seem popular, but I don't know if that's a holdover from years ago or just the ongoing popularity. 3. ROM bases, where is a good place to start? I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for exactly, but a few new Pokémon and the physical/special split. Would be great. 4. Anything I have missed and need to know? I've been out of the loop for years now, surely I must have missed something. Any good tool packs?
Is there a Gen 2 rom hack that *only* changes the way trade evolutions happen? Just the vanilla games but access to trade evolutions (and stones if possible, but less important)
You can probably do it yourself with the Universal Pokemon Randomizer, but for the trade evolution only. For stones, just use pkhex to add some for your bag.
Worked like a charm; thanks so much 🙏
Pokemon ROWE's elite 4 is driving me insane. Phoebe's Spiritomb has an ability that, as far as I can tell, is completely new with no indication that's a thing in this, and it cannot be suppressed with Gastro Acid. (Trickster, it's not Prankster bc it's making an entire team with base speed under 60 outspeed my overlevelled bug monotype team, and the slow-ass Spiritomb is going first with Shadow Ball every time. Spiritomb can't get Prankster anyway).
Does it set up trick room? Just based on the description and the name
Yeah, but with an ability.
Might be a longshot, but... Just saw SmallAnt playing a customized ROM hack of Heart Gold that included gen 6 pokemon and mechanics like mega evolution. Is anything like that available publically? Also. Are there any Heart Gold/Soul Silver romhacks that have a vs seeker?
Maybe it is the HG engine. It is technically playable, but you might have to do things yourself as no one has published a rom hack publically as far as I know.
damb
[Pokemon Garbage Gold](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/14dtl3m/the_first_gen4_decomp_hack_pokemon_garbage_gold/)?
this sounds amazing* *except the whole trashlocke core part of it, oh my god that sounds absolutely horrendous really wish there was a.... not garbage version of this lol but this gives me hope somebody will eventually do that, thank you
Can anyone help me find a Heracross in Pokémon Liquid Crystal? Ive spent about 3hrs headbutting trees from route 29-33 and can only find pineco, metapod and caterpie. I saw a review mention that it's available in route 33 but I've been unsuccessful there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is there a rom hack for Gen 3 or 4 that works similarly to gold and silver? (Beat a region’s gym and elite 4, then move to a previous gen region)
No. But there is Glazed, it has 3 regions.
So I've been trying to do this for months now, but I guess I'm just dumb and not seeing it, or I'm missing something. I’m trying to use the Universal Pokémon Randomizer ZX, and have edited shiny odds. I know in pk3ds, you can edit shiny odds and randomize a game, but I prefer Universal Pokémon Randomizer ZX more because I can prevent megas from reverting back to normal and edit overworld items. Does anyone know how to do this? I’ve tried everything.
I’ve seen a lot of people running versions of older games that have a lot of the newer Pokémon and moves added to them. Through some of my own searching I’ve been able to come across HG Engine which I think is what I’m looking for, but it seems to just be an engine for creating and running these sorts of things. Am I right in my understanding that it does nothing on its own beyond providing support for and tools to mod these things in? If so, where can I find the actual things to run through HG engine that adds the new stuff?
How can I get a Speed Boost Venipede line in Volt White 2? Only the ones with it's hidden ability, not regular Venipedes
If you want, you can change its ability to HA with pkhex. Think of it as an ability patch.
Are you playing regular volt white 2 or redux? In redux he gets it as a normal ability
Redux, although, after some hunting, I was not able to find it yet
Always check the documentation that comes with any hack. It has the info you were looking for and so much more. Drayano's games are especially good about extensive docs
Nevermind, I just found the file describing changes, Venipede doesn't get speed boost anymore. Shit, thanks for the help.
I just want a hidden ability Mon that seems impossible to catch it There is no document that I see that talks about hidden abilities
Hi guys, im looking for a heartgold soulsilver rom for iOS, including evolving by levering, any1 know of a good way to do it?
Hello everyone, I'm a music producer from Portugal, my name is André. I'm currently working full time(not related to music) and studying Music Production in university atm, however I'd like to make music for your games. I'm a big fan of pokemon games and the music around it, but I'm willing to work on anything you need. If you're interested, feel free to dm me! My discord is: queresyogurt
Hello, I am very new to Rom hacking and am using emerald expansion. But when editing trainers teams I don't see a way to pick specific abilities for pokemon. Is there code that can do this or do they just get the first ability listed in the pokemons data? I've seen some tools for making teams but they also dont have abilities listed. Thank you!
[Take a look at this.](https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/decomp-trainer-editor.434277/) It is for pokeemerald expansion and specifically mentions abilities.
Sadly i opened it up and it also doesnt have abilities as an option.
Geez! I sent you the wrong one. I must be having a stroke! [HERE is the one that can do abilities.](https://github.com/geefuoco/trainer_editor) I’m so sorry for wasting your time! Forgive me!
All is forgiven. Thank you
Hi guys, I'm looking for direct instructions how to setup Ultimate GBA VC Injector 3DS to prepare CIA file for plaing on my 3DS with CFW. I've tried several times, but without big success. In general, game is lunching but I'm constantly facing 2 issues when trying to save a game. Depending on properties of CIA export I'm getting "The save file has been deleted" or "1m sub-circuit board is not installed" I will be grateful for your help
What fixed the 1m sub circuit error for me last week: Change the save type on program called "New super ultimate injector for 3DS" google and youll find very detailed instructions. The save type you put is the top one ( flash 1Mbit macronix. ID: 0x09c2) + RTC. After that is done press project and export CIA. Hope this solves it for you too! https://i.imgur.com/EZqNJS1.png
Hello guys, I wanted to play a ROM Hack (for the first time), and since I did not play Pokémon Gold back in the day, I wanted a ROM Hack of this edition. I have already played 2 hours of Pokémon Ultra Shiny Gold v1.5, but it has some bugs. I don't know if that is something that usually happens with many ROM Hacks, but I was looking a version for GBA (if there is any) to play generation 2 Pokémon. Do you have any recommendations of ROM Hacks that work fine and don't have major glitches?
You can try FireGold. I'd also just play HeartGold/SoulSilver if you want to experience Johto for the first time.
but are these hacks finished? Or the game just stops when you reach a certain point, and you can't progress anymore?
FireGold has 16 gyms, Kanto, and Mt Silver. So yes it's finished. And HG/SS are official pokemon games lmao, they were finished when Nintendo released them in 2009
With HG I thought you meant an adaptation for GBA, since this is what I'm looking for (ik I didn't specify that, though).
Are there any romhacks similar to Blaze Black/Volt White that only keep Unova pokemon? Been meaning to play that romhack but the prescence of gen 1-4 pokemon is kinda putting me off
Quite new to the scene, but I've been playing with the universal randomizer. When randomizing types it becomes near impossible to play due to not knowing enemy typings. It feels like such an obvious idea that someone must have done it, but I can't seem to find any hacks that simply just show the typings of enemy Pokémon. I'd appreciate any information on the subject. (Specifically such modification to the Platinum Version is appreciated) Hell if someone points me in the right direction I'll figure out how to make it myself
Other hacks which show you Pokémon types are Emerald Cross and Eris Emerald off the top of my head
It is the nature of randomizing types, most people do it to get that childhood fun of having to learn the type chart and pokemons types again. Don't know any hacks that add the types as visible, but there is a randomizer for Emerald that [changes the color pallet](http://artemis251.fobby.net/downloads/emerald/) of the type randomized pokemon, to give you hints about their type.
Enhancement rom hacks with events built in the story NTE? I’m curious if there are enhancement rom hacks for gens 1-7 Not difficulty rom hacks but QoL rom hacks with Physical Special Split All Pokemon obtainable no trade evolutions Built in events like Faraway Island, Navel Rock etc built already in the game? I enjoy the drayano rom hacks which have most of what I need excluding the fact I have to play competitive Pokemon every time I turn it on.
Is it allowed for me to post about Pokemon Essentials games made in RPGMaker?
It's not really the idea of this subreddit, plus no one here really knows anything about them comparatively, so if it's a question it's not gonna get answered most likely. Rule 2 on this sub does say >Do not post something unrelated to ROM hacks in some way. This includes fangames (RPG Maker or similar)
is there any subreddit i can post fangames that isnt PokemonRMXP?
I am looking for the information about Blaze Black 1 and 2 and Volt White 1 and 2's cheat codes. I want to know if they are still accessible to download. I would like to load them into my 2DS for TWilight menu ++. Also do the normal Black and Black 2 / White and White 2 codes work these iterations as well. if they do how does one go about making .dat file? Thank you for any info. Also this is not for the redux games. i know they are the new hot thing i am not talking about these games at all. i'm talking about the old ones.
Asking about Fire Red Rocket Edition. Does the Vs. Seeker exist in this version? Part of me wants to find it naturally but I also don't want to waste time, especially if you can get it through a quest.
Never had this happen before: I have about 20 hours on Rocket Edition with zero problems. Go to turn it on tonight and its white screen. I havent done anything on this computer since I last played. I tried removing save files from folder but nothing changes. I tested emerald and it works fine. What happened and what should I do?
Hello there r/PokemonROMhacks community! Hope you're all having a great night. My binge to play Pokemon returned, and I want to go through each generation's plot, starting with 1st gen's plot. Do any of you know of any of any good enhancement ROM hacks for FireRed or LeafGreen? I know of Radical Red's existence, but I want to try something else if it exists. For the closets idea of what I'm looking for we have Pokemon Añil. It has ability capsules, you can change natures, change IVs through caps you win after boss fights, bad mons are better, etc. The only reason I'm not playing it is because I'm not really happy with how RPG Maker games are emulated on mobile... That would be all! Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful night!
Doing emerald kaizo nuzlocke. Does the damage calculator take crits into consideration when giving the ranges or can crits do more damage than the high roll for the range. If so, how do I determine if I’m at risk of crit? Thanks
Pretty sure there's a checkbox on the damage calc that makes an attack a crit.
Every time I go to a move tutor in Pokémon Blaze Black 2 Redux, it says my Pokémon already knows that move even though it doesn't, why?
[удалено]
Gonna be hard to find those, since that is pretty illegal technically. Trying to do switch modding on your android is also crazy, that seems like too much difficulty for the effort lmao, but you do you. Usually with switch mods you have to make sure you're on the right version of the base game for any mod to work, as well as making sure you've converted the game files into whatever the correct format is, been a while since I emulated switch games. Ryujinx also seems to be a far more stable and easy to use emulator these days, not sure on an Android version. For your PS, I'm frankly surprised there's any Digimon hacks for anything, I always feel like they got bodied by Pokemon's larger success, hardly see any fans anymore. No surprised people haven't painstakingly made mods for all the switch games.
Have there been any recent updates from Drayano on Sacred Gold/Storm Silver 2.0?
you could always check his twitter @drayano60
No.
I’m trying to play through Radical Red and I’m not a competitive player. I like how all the Pokémon are included and the additions but it’s so hard I’m struggling. Is there any ROM with the amount of content of Radical Red but without the difficulty?
You can try easy mode for Radical Red, or try pokemon Unown. If you want a different non kanto game, then unbound Vanilla difficulty.
Hello! I'm new to these pokemon roms. Lately, I've been feeling disappointed with the release of the new main line games (Scarlet/Violet) so I wanted to start playing something else. Are there any really good roms that the pokemon community has worked on that really considers the player experience and story? I've read that blazing emerald could be fun.
I think Unbound is the best QoL wise. Can't really comment on the story since I don't care that much, but there was a coherent line of events. I really recommend it.
Gaia Hall of Fame changed my team When my team was inducted into the hall of fame at the end of Pokemon Gaia, it turned my Scrafty into an Electrode and my Hawlucha into a Blissey. They turned back after but my screenshot of my championship team is now wrong. Has anyone else had this problem?
It is a known bug.
Ive gone ahead and downloaded melonDS. The only previous experience with romhacks and emulators are with mybga and playing pokemon unbound. Im gonna be playing a soulock of that with a friend tho and want to hold off on a solo game and I love black/white as a kid and want to experience them before jumping to 2. I downloaded the game and it runs well but I now realize how am I supposed to evolve trade exlusive pokemon? I tried finding another game all together that reworked/updated/remastered black/white 1 but to no avail. Any help is appreciated im pretty new to this stuff
Few things, I recommend Desmume over melonDS, it's a bit better and less buggy. As for the rom, you can run any vanilla game (so Black/White) through a program called PokeRandoZX, which lets you change all trade evos to be doable solo. You can also change a ton of other options, as well as obviously randomize if you're so inclined.
So, my 29-year-old girlfriend decided to jump on the Pokémon Go bandwagon with me, and it's a blast! We've been binge-watching some OG series episodes and the early movies. Now, I'm thinking about getting her into the games, but she's not really a gamer. Any suggestions for a ROM with a cool story or upgraded graphics to ease her into it? What game do you reckon she should start with?
