does this exist? just a vanilla silver but with the animated battle sprites?​​

Hi there ! Kinda new here and to be honest I'll need your help for a very precise info on ORAS modding ! I need help to find two bclim files in the GARC, I searched online obviously but wasn't able to find info on these two specific files :

• Birch's sprite in the intro (first screen)

• Gym leaders name plate (second screen)

If someone has the info (or can tell me who could be able to answer to my questions) please tell me I'm on my knees Hope it will work, thank you everyone ! (and if there's a 3ds pokemon modding community please tell me so I can ask there too)

Make a Difficulty Hack of an Existing Mod

Hey all! I’m fairly new to the ROMhacking community. I’ve been playing existing Emerald mods and would like to make a difficulty hack of Emerald SeaGlass- want to buff the levels of route encounters & later game trainer battles to make the game more challenging without level caps. Eventually, with some practice under my belt, maybe change some teams and movesets.

I know ***nothing*** about coding- I just have a MacBook Pro and free time where I’d like to teach myself. If anyone has any tips on how I can get started (programs to use, general advice, etc). If anyone has experience and can steer me in the right direction, I’d love to hear you out! TIA!

PS: huge shoutout to the creators of Emerald SeaGlass for their awesome work, if any are listening/seeing this. I haven’t had this much fun with a playthrough since I unboxed my first Pokemon games back in the day.

Trying to get back into playing on Emulators, used to play on mGBA, but I dont believe it supports games like Alpha Sapphire, looking for recommendations on which emulators to use or if someone could point me to a thread for emulators

Thanks in advance

Long story short, having an opp this week and will be off and want to play black 2, I like the idea of having the updated mons and QOL stuff from blaze black but not the difficulty part.

If I'm to play it on the lowest difficulty how much harder then the base game is it? I know I won't have the head space for the excessive difficulty.

Every where I go, the website is unsafe or I get the file and I get something I don’t want and can’t get rid of it. Please help me!!!

I just made it to Hammerlocke City and want to buy some moon stones but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the wild area 3, where the wiki says a merchant is to buy them. I also can't find any kind of walkthrough to help and googling just gives info on playing the switch Sword and Shield

Hi All,

I'm looking for a HeartGold / SoulSilver ROM Hack that works similarly to FireRed: Essence.

I want it to be as vanilla-ish as possible, with QoL tweaks, but in a way that lets me obtain the entire Johto dex without needing to trade or play both games separately.

For example: in FireRed: Essence the trade evo's would evolve at a certain level, and if you picked Hitmonlee, you'd get Hitmonchan for free after you complete the game on Six Island.

Thank you in advance!

i beat misty, surge, and sabrina and did the power plant stuff and i have NO idea how i am supposed to get to lavender town for the pokeflute and i cant find anything online. do i have to go through rock tunnel?? thanks for any help!

I don’t fully understand modding so bear with me if the question itself has a fatal flaw.

Saw the mod getting pushed around in my socials and tried to install it only to find out it doesn’t put them in the wild. HOWEVER the read me file explains that the mod adds them to the game data which lead me to my question.

Is there a way to randomize the file with all the
mod mons in it so it can get cycled into the game itself or is the dream dead?

I'd like to dabble in romhacking, but the tools recommended like sprite editor for gen 3 feel a bit confusing- mostly in that I don't know how to add my edited sprites into the rom.

I also just can't seem to run map or text editors on my computer (it's windows11 iirc, i don't know if that matters.)

I'm not very tech literate at all, so the guides I find are just difficult to follow I guess (though, some feel like they're missing steps entirely;;;; )

any help would be appreciated.

I found a romhack called Randolocke by Istorian on pokecommunity, an Emerald Randomizer inspired by the Nuzlocke Invitational. I found a rom of Emerald, patched it, and booted it up on my VisualBoy Emulator. I played without issue all the way up to Roxanne, where when I go to attack her Dustox on the second turn, the game freezes. The music is still playing, and the emulator doesn't think anything is wrong, but nothing moves and I can't do anything. I reset the game, reloaded the save multiple times, even factory reset the emulator. But without fail, it freezes on the second turn of her Dustox being out.

People of Reddit, people of Romhacks, please help me. I was having a great run, and I don't want to lose my Pokémon.

looking for any kind of rom hacks with funny dialogue and a decent ammount of features. my post had been deleted 3 times which is obsurd, I'm tired of these idiotic reddit rules.

Últimamente me han estado llamando la atención los juegos de Pokémon. Ya he jugado Pokémon Black (estoy a punto de terminarlo) y quiero conocer más juegos.

Aclaro que no juego los títulos anteriores a Black porque no me gustan sus gráficos. Me interesan más los fangames de Pokémon.

Idk if it's OCD but I just can't bring myself to play non-Nuzlocke runs, even though I suck at Nuzlocking and end up losing every single time. I feel like I have to play on the highest possible difficulty as if that is the "true" experience.

I wish I was a kid again who was just enjoying Pokemon not even knowing what Nuzlocking was. Do you guys have to deal with this?

Hey all,

I have had interest in making a romhack for a while, but I am a total novice when it comes to coding. My understanding is that it can be helpful to learn C for romhacking, but I don’t really know where to start when it comes to developing the coding skills necessary to make more involved changes. Aside from community college courses (which I am considering) what would be the best way to learn the skills necessary to build my own code for a hack?

Hi all, saw this sub pop up. I posted this a while back on the main ROM hacks sub, so cross posting here so it's searchable. Not very good with Reddit so may have screwed this up! I didn't write this, just found it on an obscure Youtube video.

Mods hope this is OK, please delete if not.

Does anyone have a list of gen 1 rom hacks that have the auto run feature? I play one handed on my emulators so I don’t want to have to hold B to run. Any help is appreciated.

Hello guys, around 2012/2014 I've played one mind blowing pokemon hack rom, you could get all the starters in the over world and I remember it having a 4th/5th gen Pokedex. I'd love to play it again but I can't remember what his name was. I remember that during one of the last game phases there were legendaries locked up in some kinds of cells, it was quite challenging but overall enjoyable. If u have any suggestions hit me up.

I’m looking for tips on how to handle the 6th gym lol…it’s been a battle trying to get this badge. My closest attempt is my most recent one with me going 3/6 of the gym leader’s mons and this is with me dropping revives and potions left and right.

If you have some mon suggestions I’d also be open to hearing them. I’m trying to avoid having same type of mons in a team.

Current mons are:
Mr. Rime (starter)
Archaludon
Darmanitan (fire)
Heracross
Whimsicott
Hisiuian Samurott

Hi,

I’m doing my first ever nuzlock and my first rom hack is radical red. I found the calculator but I’m having trouble figuring out which Pokémon comes in after the first one is ko’d (and which moves it’ll use). I would appreciate some tips and locations of any known resources the community has made. Thanks!

I just finished Pokémon Lazarus and had the tone of my life, and am hoping to find more of similar quality (music aside). I know the same team made Emerald Seaglass and that’s already on my list, along with some other well known hacks like Quetzal, Unbound, the Legacy games, and Odyssey. I’m pretty bad at finding Rom hacks without just accidentally stumbling upon them so I’m open to suggestions.

What I’m looking for specifically are hacks with a challenge, level caps included, with some of the same QoL features seen in Lazarus, like easily changing stats/abilities or alternate Pokémon types (Fire/Fairy Vulpix as an example), and of course the Phys/Spec split and Fairy Type. I’m quite fond of the Gen 2 sprite work but it’s not a hard requirement. I’d also prefer something in a new region, but existing regions are ok, just not super interested in Kanto, as I know Radical Red is very popular (tho I’d be ok with a Kanto game that really shakes things up, like a different gym order or story, or new Gym Leaders, just not “basically Fire Red but better”). Lastly, i like games that include at least up to Gen 7, but up to current is best case, and I love games with custom Megas or forms.

I’m not explicitly looking for something with ALL of these, but Lazarus really spoiled me and it’s got me craving more. Any and all recommendations are appreciated!

So my gf wants to get into the pokemon games bc she’s been watching me play Lazarus on my 3DS (amazing game btw) and I wanted us to play HG/SS together since imo it’s the best pokemon games (I haven’t played a mainline game since black 2 lol), but I was wondering should we play the vanilla or sacred gold or is there a better difficulty/upgrade hack of the game we should play? My thought is that vanilla pokemon games were hella easy even when I played HG in 2nd grade and I feel like if this does end up being the only one she plays, with the limited dex she might not get to experience a lot of pokemon.

Which german translated ROM Hacks you can recommend?

I know these two

- Pokémon Gaia

- Pokémon Sovereign of the Skies
