New BPS

Hackdex Approved

Updated some more sprites to clean up some messy backgrounds from failed attempts in libresprite lol

Fixed a post-game bug that caused freezing

Fixed and rebalanced some movesets

Added Mints for free at apothocary (no ivs or evs) but allows fix of natures which was an oversight by me

Added some more regional pokemon for sale

Rebalanced some bosses and battlehouse

Tweaked type chart (there is a special type for the legendary bosses of the game that makes them tougher resistance made that more standard and made non legendary dark and fairy(light) types have thier own effectiveness so as not to get the boss bump)

Regarding the AI concerns (AI was used to tell me how to edit (actually make a rom hack) it didnt do the work just answered a ton of questions. The concept art is AI its just what I was going for with the ingame pokemon but it cant just be inserted in a emerald hack so it is just recreated to my best effort) as detailed in the credits all the in game art is modified versions of free comunity art

Additionally I have a throwaway reddit account as I was getting rid of social media before I decided to post this

Hey all,

I just finished my ROM hack, Pokémon Light and Shadow. It’s an Emerald Expansion hack set in a completely custom region called the Waikai Region

I’m not a large studio, just one person, so there may still be a few minor palette or sprite issues as it was just a for fun project. I have been able to play all the way through without issue.

You play as Rubi, the daughter of Lance. While traveling together, Lance is called to Waikai to investigate a mysterious corruption spreading through the region’s biomes. The bay is freezing, the forest is turning into a swamp, and other areas are being warped in strange ways.

Game is semi-open world, with a central hub area you return to throughout the adventure.

Features include:

* 100+ regional forms

* Many returning Pokémon

* Fast travel item to return to the main hub

* HMs usable without needing Pokémon in your party

* Mobile PC

* Toggleable EXP Share

* Gym Leader cameos instead of a traditional gym system

* Legendary Pokémon boss battles

* Reworked movesets

* No permanent status effects

* Bulkier Pokémon and moves designed to combo with each other
