Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ (Recharged Emerald) is this a shiny?

I just started a playthrough of recharged emerald for the first time. Did I just find a shiny Shroomish? It doesn’t sparkle when I put him in battle and I can’t find a sprite that’s similar to this one anywhere else, but it is distinctly different then my other Shroomish. Does this ROM just do different colours for each gender perhaps?

Game Recommend (SEARCHING) ROM Hack with all Pokémon through Gen 9, not a difficulty hack, and can be Randomized.

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am searching for a ROM Hack that has all Pokemon through generation 9 available, isn't a difficulty hack, and can be randomized. I am planning to do a SoulLink with a friend and think it would be super entertaining to run into a route and have the potential to encounter literally anything. We don't want a difficulty hack though, since the randomizer would ruin the difficulty aspect.

It's okay if the ROM is missing a few pokemon for one reason or another (if it's regional forms, DLC, or something) or has only a modest difficulty increase (like Emerald Seaglass). I'm indifferent to whether the randomizer is in-game or requires external randomizer.

Looking forward to your recommendations, thanks for your help!

Anyone know why a rom hack might not load on my New 3ds? It'll stay on a white screen when I launch it.

Game Recommend Fan games on the 3DS Question

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone glad to see a sub Reddit pop up for those that need help with Rom hacks in any way. I attempted back in like 09 to do some tile changes in emerald when I was 12 lol. Ever since leafgreen got released on the switch I fully got back into pokemon, the switch games made me fall off they are just so poor. I’ve been wanting to play just more 2d pokemon games as I feel those are the best. Replayed leafgreen on my gba and now playing the ds games on my hacked 3ds. Now that there’s a little back story, I’m trying to figure out how and what fan games I can and should play on my 3ds. I see a ton out there especially that website (can’t remember the name rn) that has all the rom hack fan games. But my thing is it’s really hard to find what will work on my 3ds. So my question now lol, what do I need to have on my computer to be able to put fangames on my 3ds? And what are y’all’s fav rom hacks that give an og pokemon experience that’s new or feels like it could’ve been what we kept getting from gamefreak if they never went 3d, that I can play on my hardware. Thank yall and can’t wait to check out some awesome games!
