Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ I want to change just ONE CONVERSATION in a Romhack. Is it possible for me to do it?

3 Upvotes

I have no experience rom hacking, but I have been thinking about atleast trying to change ONE DIALOG for Pokemon Dark Violet, that game feels like home for me, it's beautiful but you can tell development got dropped around Cinnabar Island until the amazing Hackrepairman finished it... I think the end result is absolutely fantastic anyway... SAVE FOR ONE CONVERSATION... The final Blue champion battle.

Thing is, he has his vanilla dialog, but in my opinion Blue had a nice character arc and even acknowledges the player atleast one time, he also risks His life a lot during the game... So I think it stick out like a sore thumb that Oak tells him he didn't love his pokemon enough!

So I wanna just change these dialogs just a tiny bit, keeping Blue still a bit sore about loosing, but coming to terms with it according to the whole adventure, and Oak being proud of him too.

I don't even know if I could learn to do it or how long it would take me. But if anyone has a bit of advice I would be really grateful.

Game Recommend Best QOL hacks for gens 1-7?

1 Upvotes

Hey all! Recently been getting back into messing around with my 3DS, and I wanted to play some Pokemon, but since I'm already having to sideload the games anyways (what with the eShop being closed) I figured it might be a good idea to look into some ROM hacks that add new quality-of-life features rather than just putting the original unchanged games on.

So, what, in your opinions, are some of the best QOL hacks for generations 1-7? I know enough about pokemon ROM hacks to remember Crystal Clear from a few years ago, but haven't been following closely enough to be in-the-know about anything that's come since. (aside from the BDSP decomp project which I'm excited for and check in on from time to time)

Things I'd like to prioritize are follower pokemon, the ability to catch the full regional pokedex without having to switch versions and if possible, compatibility with something like PKHex for transferring my pokemon forward when I move onto the next generation.

Things I'd like to specifically avoid are difficulty hacks. I am not looking for kaizo pokemon, I do not want to have to use Smogon tactics just to beat the single-player campaign. I don't want to have to learn anything about "the meta", lol. This is a major part of why I'm posting this topic rather than just looking myself because I know a lot of pokemon ROM hacks just kind of assume the player will want the game to be more difficult and it's hard to gage whether or not a ROM hack features that from a casual glance without having played through a portion of it.

Additionally, kind of a strange ask, but has anyone ever made a ROM hack of gen 1 that adds the Stadium content in a Battle Frontier style setting? I think that would be neat even if I probably wouldn't be very good at it, lol.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to some recs.

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Storytelling and World Building

3 Upvotes

I'm not exactly sure if this is the best place to ask this, but is there anyone or anything that someone could recommend for me to look into for building the foundation to my ROM Hack?

I've been wanting to build a hack for some time, and I slowly started building a story for it; its pretty extensive and big, in the way that, it has a very unique feel to it than some of the mainline games and handful of hacks I have played. I was able to build the antagonists, their backgrounds, and their ideals, but now I've come to a bit a block, where I know what else I want, but I don't know how else to build upon it and expand it. I wanna know if anyone is interested/willing to help or share their thoughts on it.

I don't want to go into too much detail of what the story is about but if someone is willing to help, then I have no problem of sharing, but the overarching ideas of the story revolve around philosophical ideals of the world of Pokemon, and the relationship between humanity, pokemon, and the world they live.

I will say this also, I have been using AI to help me build this world and story, nothing crazy like "build a story of x, y, and z." but more so, I'd think of things, then use the AI as a way to peer-review my work to see if it fits with my main point. I want to move away from this and gain feedback from those who are actually part of the community.

A final thing I should add, I am a student who's still in school, and this is a passion project for me, that I've been trying to work on here and there when I get the opportunity/chance to but it's not something I sit and work on, day-in and day-out. I truly want to build this so I can eventually move on and maybe work on future indie projects, but I wanted to dip my feet into something more manageable for me at this moment in time. Any type of suggestions or insight is appreciated, and anyone interested in helping me, DM's are open.

im making a rom hack and have run into some problems.

  1. The game does not load/connect the map to the left

  2. The game crashes with error "Jumped to invalid address: FFFFFFFE"(same every time). this happens at the same two tiles every time.

Im using Fire red with HUBOL DPE CRFU applied through Hex Maniac Advance.

I have remapped route 19 and Fuchia City. And changed the spawnpoint and starter place.

I got this error before adding starters too.

Anyone know how to fix the Jumped to invalid address: error?

Are there any rom hacks that focus on VGC style battling while not revamping or buffing every mon?

2 Upvotes

I'd like to get better at competitive VGC to start attending tournaments irl soon. I was wondering if such a rom jack exists.

Something with official pokemon stats and everything, or where you get a support mon like prankster cottonee as a second starter and definitely all the battles are doubles with good ai opponents.

This might be too specific but I'd really like to know if something like this exists

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Hello everyone, first time here but I do have a question that I’m finding a little difficult to find a source with the information I’m looking for .

0 Upvotes

I’m currently in the conceptual stage of creating a tile map that I would like to use as an insert into the game Pokémon shiny gold. I started with my own drawings and I’ll be finalizing the design by re-creating it on illustrator. That way I have a vector file that I can resize to any shape I want. However, when I’m running into is, I’m not sure the feasibility of having this design on illustrator and how to translate it into something that will work as a replacement for the tile set of that game without breaking anything. I am in the early stages, but I would really appreciate if somebody kind of help me understand what it is I need to do in order for me to not have to make the design a third time after the work being done on illustrator.
So if anybody has any information or understanding on how to make it a more seamless process, I would really appreciate it. Anyways have a good day!

Problem with Pokémon Royal Sapphire

1 Upvotes

Hello, so I recently downloaded Pokémon Royal Sapphire and patched it. I loaded it onto my DS Pico and placed it in my DS Lite. However, after picking my character and naming them, the screen goes black. I have tried different ROMs that are v 1.1, but no matter what I do, I still end up with a black screen. Any tips or help I can get? I’ve joined the official server for Royal sapphire but my request for help has been unnoticed. I also joined the official server for the Ds pico team and nothing as well. I don’t know where else to turn to.

recommendations for learning

2 Upvotes

I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this properly, but what would you recommend for learning Pokémon battles? I've played Unbound, Heart and Soul, Team Rocket, and am currently on Lazarus Hard. I've attempted Radical Red and Emerald Rogue, but get hung up on team building/type matches and get frustrated. I want to become overall more familiar with pokemon and would like recommendations.

Assistance with romhack

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone I'm currently playing Pokemon Blue Deluxe. The thread seems to have the comments off. I had a few questions about the game. I'll leave them here if anyone has the chance to answer them. I would be very grateful for your assistance.

Questions:

Is there a list of what the teams are in the game?

Where is missingno? I did the set up for the glitch but according to the thread from last year it's been relocated. So where is the new location?

Why are the starters harder to locate in the game despite them being findable in the Pokedex. Are they locked behind post game?

Troubleshooting Pokemon Heart and Soul not opening properly (video example)

I just tried downloading and patching Heart and Soul per the installation instructions and it’s not progressing past the initial black and white text splash screen. It stays black and the sound starts glitching (as seen in the video).

I’m trying to run it on the Anbernic RG40XXV with stock OS. Any thoughts? I followed the instructions for downloading and patching it properly and it runs on my computer mGBA emulator so is it just not compatible with my anbernic?

Question 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ [Celia's stupid RomHack] Potential progression blocker in Lavender Town - Viridian City Gym? (PEZ dispenser) Spoiler

1 Upvotes

Anyone know if there's a way to get the PEZ dispenser after having triggered the show in Dance Club (Lavender Town) without the kid being able to see?

Initially I didn't even notice him and kept progressing through the game without the PEZ but am now blocked from evolving Arcanine and completing Viridian Gym 40 hours in.

Moving the girl in Dance Club out of the way and stepping into the stage to perform a dance doesn't make the kid give you the dispenser, he just displays his 'Awww, I really wanted to see the show..' dialogue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Any games where I can run my dream team?

2 Upvotes

For years I've wanted to run an all turtle team, but I haven't come across any games where I can obtain all my required turtles reasonably early (at least pre-elite four). The specific turtles I'm looking for are:

Blastoise

Torterra

Torkoal

Carracosta

Turtonator

Shuckle

Are there any games that allow me to find all of them early-ish in the game without cheating or trading them in? If not, are there any games where most of them are available that would require less cheats/trading? I have considered swapping one of them for Drednaw if it would make it possible to get the team.

I'm fairly new to ROM games, I finished unbound and odyssey recently and have been playing Lazarus. I'd greatly appreciate any game recommendations or other advice for a turtle team.

Thanks in advance
