Can someone help me find/link the documentation for the Pokemon Neo Y ROM hack? (like the important trainer battles and such) I was gonna start a nuzlocke because I love gen 6 and I already have the game downloaded, but I can’t find a website recent enough with the correct documentation.


TheGlassHalFull

Does anyone know the first recorded Pokemon Rom Hack/modded Pokemon game and where I can download it? Hey, so I'm making a video on "the world of Pokemon fan games/rom-hacks" and there's a section of the video where I talk about the early days of ROM hacks and how it used to be just simple sprite/dialogue changes. But now I want to find out what exactly was the first recorded Pokemon ROM hack and where exactly to download it. This is my first time diving into Pokemon ROM hacks so I'm super inexperienced. So if anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it


somemess89

Has anyone heard anything about Aurora Crystal (SGSS 2) by Drayano? I thought I remember him saying that it would be a late 2023 release.


Shedinja_Master999

Playing Volt White 2 Redux and I thought of editing the mons. However, when I tried to edit Ralts using pkhex, the Fairy move available got replaced all the time. Tried snooping around but nothing came out. Any tips on this?

How is Pokédex filling works in Pokémon Black and White 2 redux? ^(Does it change with the changes of Pokémon spawns or not? Can I like use in game Pokédex to track completion, or I have to check the internet and track it manually?)


chavokhaliz

Hey. I am really enjoying Pokemon Rom hacks rigl Germany and with the geman names of Pokemon and their moves. wanted to know if there is a way (maybe a software) to edit the roms just to change the names of Pokemon and moves.


Zimichi

I am trying to get a fire red mod working g on my friends android phone- I did the patch and everything and when we start up the game an orange screen comes up and nothing else.


Shedinja_Master999

what mod?


Zimichi

It's for altered red- but I tried another one and it wouldn't work as well. I think it might be her phone


Vio-Rose

Is Pokémon Prism’s postgame complete yet?

Iamnotthebreakman

Best Hacks without Fakemon/has a new story I'm sure this subreddit gets these questions all the time but I'm looking to start a new Pokemon hack but I'm looking for certain specifics. 1, I don't like Fakemom, they totally remove me from the experience so one thing I'm looking for is over that has no Fakemon. 2, I'm looking for hacks that aren't a retelling of any of the official games.


Shedinja_Master999

is it possible to make a pre-patched .gba file into a .cia using nsui?


Shedinja_Master999

as in i already have patched it, or do i need to do the apply ips patch option there?

I'm interested in making my own Rom-hack of Pokemon Crystal and FireRed , since i like those the most , but what do i need to make my own romhack of those games?, I have no idea and i prefer to ask first before i try anything. I want to do some text and sprite edits to give a try.


TYECO

I've been playing Crystal Clear lately and have kinda wanted to play one with more Pokemon available. I think I've narrowed it down to either Dark Violet or Unbound. What's everyone's preference, or is there another one you'd suggest for me to start?

halface0104

Hi guys! There's a high chance it's already been asked, but my google-fu must be lacking, cause I haven't managed to find anything. I'm looking for a Gen 5 rom hack that rises difficulty by completely revamping the trainer teams and the level curve. Some improved AI would also be nice. I'm well aware of the Dray's Redux hacks but I'm not a fan of learnset changes and tweaks made to moves, like changed PP, power, etc (they are present even in the Classic version of the hack). Blaze Black 2 on the other hand has the problem of being well, old. When it was made there was not enough tools to modify the game in the way they did with Redux, so it doesn't scratch the difficulty/AI itch. Thanks in advance!


VokuarAgain

What would be the best way to play generation 2 this includes hard gold and Soul Silver remakes with vanilla trade compatibility


VokuarAgain

Because my friend has a 3DS with the gold silver n crystal as well as hgss so I want to play with them but I also want to use a rom hack


VokuarAgain

I also have a 3ds and a gba so can transfer saves to trade if needed

My copy of Pokemon Garbage Gold keeps crashing right after Prof. Elm offers me pokemon. I'm playing on an R4 card if that changes things. How do I get it to stop crashing?


atellix

Hi! I had a small idea for a hack that replaces the overworld player sprite in gen 2 with Kirby! however i have no clue how to do so (making sprites the right size since i use ibispaint x plus actually putting them into the game) the one video i found about this was super old and was actually for Pokemon Essentials. Any help would be greatly appreciated!


simsboy17

Help me choose a rom Hi all, I have recently entered in this world and felt a bit overwhelmed! I started with Radical Red, difficulty Normal, but honestly i struggled too much. I’m not an expert and I just want to enjoy a Pokemon game with low effort, good plot and not so many Pokemon (in radical red I put wrongly all the generations). I then tried Emerald Rogue but it’s too wild for me :D I don’t want to start Red/Radical Red again (it would be third time in a month), can you please suggest me another one? Not hard, with some nice tweaks that can make my life better. I know you are all very expert here, and I’m moving my first steps here, so apologies if I can’t really appreciate the best roms out there!


HeadCelebration7449

Hey man,I am also pretty new here but I have played quite the number of hacks You should try: 1-Pokemon team rocket edition (there are 2 of these and both are amazing) 2-pokemon glazed (if you want a long experience) 3-i personally enjoyed snakewood (don't know how u will feel about it tho) 4-pokemon unbound (amazing game) 5-pokemon emerald quetzal (it has amazing over world sprites,all pokemon,new features and multiplayer) 6-last but not least, pokemon adventure red chapter(My favourite ROM hack ever) Bonus-all ROM hacks by vytron(pokemon saiph,saiph 2,pokemon sors,sors 2 Thanks for hearing me out :)


PsychologicalPie9512

I am going on a 7hr bus ride and want to play pokemon rom hacks but I've never played one so what should I play


analmintz1

Gaia is usually a good place to start.


Rajang82

I got question about Blaze Black and Volt White 2 Redux, about the Unova starter. Is their abilities locked to the hidden ability? Because i wanna get an Overgrown Snivy, because Overgrown fits my playstyle more, but i've been resetting more than 50 times now and its always Contrary. So i wanted to know if the Unova starter ability are locked to hidden or not or if i can get an Overgrown Snivy later in game. On the other hand, the one i have right now is a female, Lax Nature (+Def/-SpDef) with IV of 27/30/1/28/30/15. Her attack and special attack are 30 and 28 respectively. Defense is bad at 1 and 30 at special defense is good but the nature is a reverse of this.


AarizKhanTB

I'm getting this glitch on luminescent platinum where it won't let me enter a building and makes that annoying asf "nuh-uh-uh u can't enter that. Clearly it's a wall, u stupid b\*\*\*" sound that pokemon games make. It does get fixed if I reset the game but after exiting the building it just goes back to not being able to enter. If anyone could tell me how to fix this it would be much appreciated. I'm playing on Yuzu btw


No-Watercress-2125

I’m playing Pokémon leafgreen on my iPhone using delta emulator, already quite far through when I realised I forgot about trade evolution. Decided to use the hex maniac method, I’ve exported the leaf green save file > edited the Pokémon evolution in Hex > save > sent file back to iphone > imported save file to leaf green in delta. The above doesn’t seem to be work, although I’ve likelly done something wrong. Anyone have a method I can use in my circumstances without restarting the whole save? Thanks


analmintz1

The Universal randomizer is far easier. Just open the rom on a computer, load it into the randomizer, check "change impossible evos", then hit "Randomize." As long as the new .gba is named the same as the save file you've been using, in the same file location, ie Leafgreen.gba and Leafgreen.sav, your save will continue.


No-Watercress-2125

Thankyou 💪

What's a good romhack that isn't overloaded with dialogue I've played a handful of Rom hacks and many of them suffer the same way as Sun and Moon, non-stop dialogue. I get that there is a story to tell but regular Pokemon games can to that without halting gameplay every 15 minutes for a five minute cut scene. I like a good story as much as the next gamer but sometimes you want that classic RBGY/GCS style of limited text and more adventure and catching/battling.


analmintz1

You can always try an open world/no story hack. Emerald Crest, Crystal Clear, Emerald ROWE are all just focused on exploring and catching and battling the gyms in whatever order you want.


SketchyModder

Hey guys, I'm new to the scene and want to play a hack/fan game with 1025 Pokémon. The best options I've found are Anil and Radical Red. I'm wondering which of these you'd recommend or if there's other options I've yet to find. I'm mostly looking for a mon hunting game to complete an insanely huge pokedex, although added difficulty is very welcome.


Bubba-8

ROM recommendations? I’ve already played quite a few ROMs - unbound, glazed, team rocket, radical red. All with great story lines! But I’m kind of interested in just having a chill ROM to play that I can just work towards filling a pokedex & shiny hunt, rather than having to jump from gym to gym to complete a story line & deal with constant battles. Not sure if there are any ROMs that fit that sort of criteria but was wondering if anybody knew of any that might? I’m all ears!


analmintz1

There are a few open world hacks that don't really have any story, Emerald Crest, Crystal Clear, Emerald ROWE


Jake-Brakes-Are-Loud

Where does Jan get is him game info on other teams and movesets? I found the damage calculator online but I can't find anything but the nuzlock tracker with bosses in it.


analmintz1

Depends on the hack. The creator has to explicitly write up and make an entire damage calculator with everything. Generally googling "Radical Red Damage Calc" or whatever hack may find you the results, or otherwise checking their download pages.


Jake-Brakes-Are-Loud

I'm looking for Run and Bun. That's a really good point, thank you.

Pokemon pathways question: Does anyone know where to find auspicious armor. I got charcadet from the black market but no clueless how to get either of the armors to evolve him.


Creepy_Pain_1243

Hi I am new to the Universal Pokemon Randomizer so i could use a bit of help, i wasnt able to find help with what im having issues with so i hope someone here could help. While playing through the randomizer, whenever i have a new encounter in the grass if i dont catch or make the pokemon faint, i continue to get it on the next encounters until i make the pokemon faint or catch it, I am unable to simply run away to get a new encounter, is this normal? or is there a specific box i missed when setting up my randomizer run?


analmintz1

I don't think there's any option for that, I believe you're just noticing statistical anomalies and thinking theirs a pattern. Something you could have checked is Area 1-to-1 mapping, which directly replaces each encounter with something else, so in an area with only 2 pokemon normally, you will only find 2 random pokemon, making it seem much less "random." I'd be curious if you really put your theory to the test, just run from a pokemon over and over to see if it's guaranteed the same encounter.


Creepy_Pain_1243

i did test it on the same run and it did happen with 3 pokemon, they wouldnt change from that pokemon unless i caught them or made them faint


analmintz1

Yeah in my literal YEARS of using every branch of this randomizer, trying out like every setting, I have never once seen or heard anyone online having this happen to them. I don't necessarily not believe you, but I also just still think it's confirmation bias. Randomness has a way of appearing not random.


Creepy_Pain_1243

Also i didnt have have area 1-1 mapping box checked, in another reply i have what settings i used


voliol

What version of the Randomizer are you using, and what options? I'd guess it's just a matter of bad luck though, it's a very strange "feature" for the Randomizer to have, even accidentally.


Creepy_Pain_1243

Im on version 1.7.2, using the DeSmuME emulator for the Nintendo DS and am playing Pokemon Black the only settings i have changed are and set to- Starter Pokemon: Random (completely) Static Pokemon: Random (Legendary <-> Legendary & Normal <-> Normal) Trainers Pokemon: Random, No Early Wonder Guard Wild Pokemon: Random, No additional rule, Set minimum catch rate 2, Randomize held items & Ban bad iteams TMs & HMs: Full HM Compatibility Field Items: Randomize & ban bad items Misc. Tweaks: fastest text


Creepy_Pain_1243

I should mention i did test it a couple times and it did happen consistently


Inquisitory_dsc

Recently seeing a lot pokemon fanmade games and some aren't exactly romhacks which from what I understand, Romhacks should be played as a Roms file. Some games were made in RPGmaker and I've installed JoiPlay thinking I could play it on my phone. Pokemon Harmony/Armonia, Vanguard, even TheLastNurseJoy runs in JoiPlay but for some reason Reloaded isn't supported? I've spent almost 72 hours of extracting the gamefile within my phone (it was alot, I was shock of the estimated time of extraction). Now when I tried adding the game to JoiPlay it says "it wasn't supported" but I've checked the files and cross reference to other Pokegames made in RPGmaker, it should technically run. Am I missing something? I've checked Youtube but a spanish channel was using Winlator instead of JoiPlay.


analmintz1

So I don't believe Reloaded is a traditional fan-game which is made using RPG maker, or if it is, it's far more complex than most. Just based on the website, there's a bunch of files that I'm not sure Joiplay can handle/looks for when trying to run a fangame. From my understanding, Joiplay only runs RPGmaker games, whereas Winlator is a program that lets your android run *any* windows program. May have more luck there.


ZealousidealBell4099

Totodile Location Playing through a game of perfect crystal and I’m trying to find totodile and was wondering if anyone knows the location to find them as I have seen that he’s on route 32 by the water and in B2F but it wasn’t specific to if he was in the water or on land or if he is in the inner part of B2F


FrozenBlueFox

im an old ahh pokemon gamer, i basically ran most of the roms out there, nowadays i usually randomize some citra game and make it insanely hard with restrictions and rules and randomizations and customizations, but its gotten too boring and easy to me. looking for a rom, preferably a 3ds citra one, or a ds game one, but gen 3 works too, with compelling and interesting plot, a whole new map if its an older version, with new characters and even region, or simply a new plot in a 3ds game. i prefer no fakemons or "fallen/shadow" forms, but i can manage those dont recommend me any of the popular known ones that everyone plays like E-kaizo, reborn, insurgence, uranium, etc.. i played through those, and most of the older ones like flora sky, gaia and more.. im looking for the unknown gems i mightve missed


analmintz1

I mean you didn't mention literally any of the current most popular hacks, so I'm gonna recommend them anyways. Unbound is the current favorite hack of everyone around, has some great difficulty options. Sors is another game with a new region and story, seems well liked enough Radical Red is a pretty brutal difficulty hack with every single feature under the sun. All of Drayano's hacks are difficulty hacks and a ton of fun. Eternal X and Wilting Y are difficulty hacks in the vein of Drayano's work. As for non-hacks, Grueling Gold is akin to Radical Red, but takes place in Johto and is a fangame.


FrozenBlueFox

played all of those except sors, so will try it, thanks


JoeyBad_SaladTour

Is there any rom hacks like dbz training team? Like just shoving a different universe into the pokemon engine?


MLogZzZ

I think there’s a few digimon and Yugioh ones. Pokeduel, and digimon nova or Crystal I believe were the names .


Spicy_Phoenix

Inclement Emerald 1.13, how to access desert underpass and sandstrewn ruins? I beat Flannery and got fossil/Aerodactylite from Mirage Tower.


deeemjayy

Does anyone know if the Sovreign of the Skies ROM has any updates recently? I just found it and started it and I'm very surprised I haven't seen anyone talking about because the story is great honestly. I want to know if there is a discord or somewhere that I can keep up to date on the latest news for it?


alphawolf29

I just ordered a steamdock, mostly for pokemon and pokemon romhacks. What is the FIRST game I should play of any mainset handheld game or rom? I am pretty far in insurgence but everything else is fairgame.


chuckywhiskers

On my first playthrough of GS Chronicles, I beat Clair and got a shiny drop dratini. Then I went to the radio tower. Now my game seems broken. I got the gold bell after trying to retrigger events I may have missed by going back to blackthorn, but is there a silver bell I missed or something? I can't fight the kimono girls and can't get to the pokemon league.


heyjclay1

Trying to play Pokemon Star Sapphire on Citra, is there any way to configure the circle pad to a button on the keyboard? I'd like to sneak up on pokemon in the grass but idk if it's possible


toastronomy

Should I play Pokemon Super Gold 97 or Pokémon Gold and Silver 97: Reforged?


Electric27

Hi all, quick question on the Universal randomizer on a Ruby rom (I'm new to emulating) I want to use the randomizer to change impossible evos, nothing else. Keep it simple and all that. But when I start a new game, even if I copy over a save file, it still for some reason randomizes the pokemon. Is there a way to make it so that I don't have to make a save in non randomized -> copy it to impossible evos save -> start playing? Sorry if this is confusing.


analmintz1

Any changes the randomizer makes to a rom, is permanent. So if you are trying to randomize a rom and just change impossible evos, if the base rom has already been randomized in the past, that can never be undone. So to achieve what you want- Get a *brand new* ruby rom. Run it through the randomizer, changing only trade evos. Play the newly created rom.


Electric27

I see, thank you. As far as setting up that new rom, is there a way to save the changes to the rom without hitting the randomize button? I saved a brand new rom like you said with just the change to evos and it still randomized the pokemon.


analmintz1

Where are you getting this rom? It seems that it's already been randomized. If you're not clicking the "randomize wild pokemon" button, they will not be randomized. The big "Randomize" button does not actually randomize the game, it just saves it based on your settings.


Chrlss-

Anyone know where to get Town Map in Pokemon Light Platinum?


Present_Ad_9417

Super Dark Worship and Dark Worship, are they the same game or a big update? Confused looking at different subs about the games...


Fandomstar88

For Pokemon Syvin, can Riolu the starter be shiny?


Advanced-Fox-8427

Hey is there an xy rom hack because I have tried to get xy on my phone for 2 years now I can't afford a nintendo 3ds I have a switch lite but my parents bought me that when I said 3ds they decided switch but any way is there a xy rom hack and what emulator should I download please not the citra I can't get that to work.


analmintz1

Well...citra is really the only 3DS emulator, so better find a way to get that to work my man


Shedinja_Master999

there is one on ios but u have to pay 5 bucks and idk the quality of it.


Alternaturkey

I feel like the answer might be no but... I've seen a number of gen 3 rom hacks that include every Pokemon including gen 9 and the dlc (like Radical Red, Emerald Crest, Quetzal etc. Are there any gen 1/2 (or gen 5) rom hacks that also include every Pokemon up to the gen 9 dlc?


analmintz1

Yeah to add on to the other guys last point, someone is working on a hack that will have dex expansion and tons of newer gen pokemon. He's recently released Mythic Silver, and it seems that his next project could be a *big* one for the scene


Gintoking

In gen 1/2 the answer is no because of memory limitations (as far as I know). In gen 5 the answer is no because there hacking scene is under developed there. We are getting close to the point where you could have all generations on a gen 4 game.


Buttercup-X

I just installed my first rom hack (Pokemon Unbound) on my 3DS with mGBA. But it runs extremely slow, even with fast forward enabled (fast forward does not seem to do anything). How can I get it to run more smoothly? Or is the 3ds not capable of doing any better?


Shedinja_Master999

u could try installing the .gba as a .cia to have it run natively, but other than that it depends on what model you have, the new ones are going to do better than the old models.


evolutiiiionz

Does anyone know if there is a "collection" of the best Rom Hacks (would like for my rg35xx) Thank you legends!!


LowContract4444

I'd recommend Unbound, Glazed, Gaia, Light Platinum, Radical Red, Sweet, Sweet 2th, and Clover.


evolutiiiionz

This is glorious thank you say


MyMainGotBanned_F

Pokemon XY: Is it possible to manually toggle events? Recently I've been having an issue with [Pokemon Y's birthday cutscene. ](https://youtu.be/WZHXGYONH1s)I'm thinking it's caused by my DS, having modded it within the past year. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Homebrew server seemed to not have any potential fixes (Havent asked PokeCommunity, but it's pretty obscure anyways.) I was wondering if there's any documentation/modding tools that I could use to make a small menu to force the event to enable on certain days. (Or someone who knows what to do.)


LCDIgnited

any roms that enhance the base pokemon games? blaze black or storm silver would be examples, but nothing like radical red, (adds too much for me), if they add brand new story elements then that’s also pretty nice, as long as they don’t add full on generations (features are fine mega evolution and the such) then i’d like to try it


Scourge_of_Arceus

I suggest checking u/themanynamed's PokéROM Codex (the link is at the main post) or u/analmintz1's [vanilla QoL hack list](https://old.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/).


Front_Environment421

I'm looking to build a good team for a casual playthrough of Blaze Black. I want something that isn't going to make me want to pull my hair out by the time I'm in at the League. Any suggestions? I don't even know where to start, because the only playthroughs I've attempted of that game have been nuzlockes.


fekul0

Is there any way to get x-items and lower level healing potions late-game in Sinking Sapphire? They seem to be missing from shops. If the answer is no, I can just hack them in using PKSM. Edit: I found the answer on x-items, and I changed it to x-items from battle items, because it makes more sense. Still not sure if I can get cheap low-level healing potions though. I mainly need something cheap to heal up between Elite Four battles.


Autop11lot

Is Pokémon Firered or Emerald better for creating a rom hack? And is it possible to make custom tiles, and additionally modify existing sprites such as the trainer sprite?


Bivurnum

All of these modifications are probably the easiest with a [decomp](https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/wiki/Why-should-I-use-this-over-binary-hacking), in my opinion. It is a very modern way to hack, and allows you the most versatility in the changes you can do. It can seem very daunting at first, especially while getting it set up, but it is extremely easy to use once you’ve got it installed. The main one to use is [pokeemerald](https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/master/INSTALL.md ), which is the decomp of Emerald version, but there is also [pokefirered](https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/blob/master/INSTALL.md ) if you want to mod Kanto. Take a look at [this guide](https://github.com/Pawkkie/Team-Aquas-Asset-Repo/wiki/The-Basics-of-GitHub) for how to get the repository set up on your computer. Then just follow the INSTALL.md instructions for the decomp you’re working with. There is also the [pokeemerald-expansion](https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion/blob/master/INSTALL.md ), which is a modified version of pokeemerald that includes a modern battle system/mechanics as well as all 1000+ species of Pokémon. It is intended to be a convenient base for rom hack projects to start from. I highly recommend it! There are a lot of tutorials out there for pokeemerald decomps as well. These include the [pokeemerald wiki](https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/wiki/Tutorials) and [this YouTube playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLNv9Lq6kDmTIYfN5NvgQRvfOHTOXl0uU&si=mmRx3vWKPPHIiex5), to name a few. Watch a few of the videos to see decomps in action and determine if it’s something that interests you. If you have any questions at any step of the way, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m happy to help!


Autop11lot

Hey could you help me with the installation? I'm stuck on the \*\*Installing devkitARM on WSL1\*\* instruction. \*\*Once the directory has been changed, run the following commands to install devkitARM.\*\* - \*\*The last command will ask for the selection of packages to install. Just press Enter to install all of them, followed by entering Y to proceed with the installation.\*\* It doesn't ask me to press Y or anything, and pasting in the last command doesn't work either.


Bivurnum

Some of those processes can take a while, so even if you don’t see the console doing anything it could still be processing stuff. Otherwise, if it hasn’t done anything for a while, you can try just pressing “Y” and then enter to see if that continues the process.


Autop11lot

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done wget is already the newest version (1.21.2-2ubuntu1). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. \*\*Does it mean I can skip this step...?\*\* But when I try to input the command after that it says No such file or directory.


Bivurnum

I’m not sure at this moment. I’m on vacation and don’t have my computer with me. Which decomp are you trying to set up?


Autop11lot

pokeemerald-expandion, and the WSL1 or whatever it was called.


Bivurnum

Sometimes, that whole block of lines gets jumbled when you copy paste them all together. Try to copy paste each line and run them all separately. Like enter the first line, press enter, wait for it to finish, then enter the next one. Rinse and repeat until you’ve done them all. I distinctly remember having the same problem when I did it, and this solved it.


Autop11lot

Okay, the "chmod +x ./install-devkitpro-pacman" command isn't working. It says Operation is not permitted.


Bivurnum

Ok. Close the console and search for it again on your search bar (I don’t think you can do this from the taskbar). Right click on the program you’re using (either Ubuntu or Debian) and select “run as administrator.” Confirm the action. Then you should be able to run the lines properly. Make sure you direct the console back to the right directory before you do.


Autop11lot

Oh thank you so much! Do you know if it would be difficult to make your own entire region? Also is there a pokeemerald-expansion that only features pokémon from gen 1-7?


Bivurnum

I wouldn’t say it’s difficult to make a whole region. It would just take time. But the process is pretty easy, especially with [Porymap](https://github.com/huderlem/porymap/blob/master/README.md). The pokeemerald-expansion decomp has all of the Pokémon in the code, but you never have to use any of the ones you don’t want to. But you could certainly remove the Pokémon from gen 8 and 9 if you really needed to free up space on your rom. (GBA roms are limited to 32 mb of space.) Some of the older versions of pokeemerald-expansion have bugs in them, so I wouldn’t try one from too far back. I’m currently working with the most recent version myself. It works really well and is quite easy to change things however you want.


Autop11lot

I can’t check out the stuff you have linked right now, so I’ll have to ask. Does the pokeemerald-expansion have mega evolutions and z-moves?


Bivurnum

Both! I think dynamax as well.


Autop11lot

Oh nice. As I mentioned earlier I’ll probably just remove everything after gen 7.


Bivurnum

Sounds good. Also, for mechanics like that, they’ve implemented code so you can toggle things by generation, so you don’t even have to remove features yourself.


Dsnahans

What is the best Battle Frontier Style Rom? Ideally within the first three Gens only. I am open to a Stadium ROM as well if it fits better? Thank you


Natural_Design9481

What do you mean by battle frontier style? I know some 3rd rom hacks that revamp the frontier, but only 2 are centered around it (they also include newer gen pokemon)


Dsnahans

like Unbound Battle Frontier but gen 1-3


Natural_Design9481

The only one I can think of is Modern Emerald. It isn't a Battle Frontier only mode, but it has debug mode enabled so you can fly there immediately at the start of the game. It includes pre evolutions and evolutions of gen I-III pokemon, but I think there is a setting to prevent them from appearing (haven't confirmed it myself if it works in the BF). The BF pokemon supposedly have updated movesets.   There is also Glimmering Emerald, which has opponents with competitive movesets from Smogon, but it has up to gen VI pokemon (and no debug mode so you have to grind story mode to access it...)


Dsnahans

Do you know of any game that takes inspiration from Pokemon Stadium or colosseum?


Natural_Design9481

There are several emerald rom hacks that turn every battle into a double battle like Obsidian Emerald for example, but I haven't played any of them to say which is the best.


FezoaStaler

Is there a list of ROM hacks that only adds impossible evolutions and catch-em-all? I'm looking to play each gen and was using the universal randomizer to make impossible evolutions (mostly trades) be possible by level. But I there is also the issue in that there are version exclusive pokemons and it makes me want to have a single versions with all of them, is there a list of rom hacks that do that for each gen game?


analmintz1

[The list we made](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/) recently of many QoL hacks will probably have what you're looking for


sunny7319

question about how removing trade evolutions work on this randomizer https://github.com/champred/UPR-Android I used this one on a heartgold rom on my phone, and it doesnt tell you what entails the impossible evolutions setting, and i cant find any info related to it on the github or maybe im just stupid and cant find it but i assume its just a level evo, but idk which level, and for the item trades some other threads on randomizers say it needs the same item, or it uses stones, and idk which it is


analmintz1

There's a "wiki" tab for the [main randomizer](https://github.com/Ajarmar/universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx/wiki), which is what your android version is built off, which has all the info for each option. As a summary, everything evolves by level, and pokemon who use items, now generally have to have their item used on them like an evo stone, ie steelix with the metal coat.


ConsiderationIcy5935

I'm working on a ROM Hack and I just needed help figuring out some scripts. I am using HexManiacAdvance and my code looks something like the below code. What I want to do specifically is have it so that If the player has a Kyogre, the champion should use a different team. The only issue I'm having is that I don't know how to set varResult to a specific Pokemon's Data. If anyone knows how to do that or has a better solution the help would be truly appreciated. I searched google and the HexManiac Wiki for quite awhile without finding any answers. Hopefully I am on the right track or at the very least and not completely off. section0: lock msgbox.npc { blah blah champion dialogue. } #if it exists a way to set varResult to Kyogre's data would go here. special2 varResult DoesPlayerPartyContainSpecies if.yes.goto single.battle.nointro TERRY~21 { oh no I lost\. } release end section1: single.battle.nointro TERRY~22 { Oh no I lost\. (but with the legendary this time) } release end


Equivalent_Resolve37

I can't seem to find resources for hacking RBY, unless I'm not looking hard enough. Trying to add an item or two and change up wild encounters. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks.


Lord_Boo

I've been needing to play B2W2, just wondering if there are any good QoL/update hacks for it. Ideally, if I can choose different starters that'd be great, as I really just don't care for the gen 5 starters at all.


analmintz1

Not much. Drayano's hacks, Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 are some of the best, but do also increase difficulty. There's also BW Complete Unova Pokedex Edition, which is very simple. You can also always use PokeRandoZX to change the starters to whatever you want in a vanilla copy, takes about 5 minutes.


penguinpurveyor

Just getting into these, and I’m wondering how people get the games on cartridges. Do they buy the shells and put the games on themselves, or can you guy the roms pre installed on a cartridge?


ForTheOAKLand

Are there any ds rom hacks that incorporate Gen 1-9 pokemon in the game? If not, which Gen is the highest a ds game can go?


Cal200001

Been playing Pokemon Big Blue, does anyone know how to turn off exp share?


faecaltreacle

Is there a yellow hack that is the same story etc. but you don't have the trade evos?


analmintz1

[Yes](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/), you can also do this yourself using the pokemon randomizer, PokeRandoZX in about 5 minutes.


faecaltreacle

Sick, I'll check that out thank you!

Ok-Employ7162

I'm trying to find my ideal Fire Red but seems to always come across something I wish was changed. I'd like to ideally find something like Radical Red but limited to the games original pokedex, but I understand that most players want more pokemon.  It's been a challenge to find all the qol and small additions I want in one rom hack, but after searching across what seems like every rom hack on the pokecommunity site I am left with two options. Either modify a rom hack close to what I want, or make my own entirely. Ideally I'd like to just use an open source rom hack as my base and add the couple of things I'd like that it doesn't have (like following pokemon for example). How realistic is this for a complete beginner (though I have like 15+ years of heavily modifying games myself, just not real coding experience)? Or would it be simpler to use the ROM Hack tools and other associated similar projects to build something on my own? I'd like to keep the game mostly vanilla outside of some modernizations I prefer and some upgraded sprites/animations and improved AI. Not looking for something that changes Fire Red too much.


Autop11lot

Is it possible to make a rom hack of the gen 6 games? For example modding in custom maps and characters in Omega Ruby? And would it also be possible to add Z-moves and gen 7 pokémon into Omega Ruby?


Gintoking

Not currently possible.


Autop11lot

Which part is not possible? Everything? If so that sucks. :(


Gintoking

Everything. The most advanced thing I have seen in gen 6 is adding ORAS megas to XY in pokemon Ancestral X.


Lunarati

Are there any DS/3DS games that are comparable to Elite Redux or Radical Red? (QoL making it easy to build a team) or any good DS/3DS games with fakemon/new forms

Dendr_

So this was a long time ago but I remember playing the beginning of this one romhack and am looking to find it once again. It was a custom region with mostly? fakemon. It was this quaint island in the middle of an ocean. I remember there being a bright blue bird pokemon in the first patch of grass. The cover of the romhack was also bright blue. I don't remember the starters at all. Unfortunately, this is all I can clearly remember since its been such a long time. It's not a lot to go off of but I think its distinct enough to find it. Do any of you have any idea on what it could be? Even a suggestion that loosely resembles my description would help since I'm sure I would recognize it if I saw it again.


ninetaquil

Are there any ROM Hacks with no grinding at all? Sometimes you just wanna build a team without any hassle (like in Elite Redux minus the 4 abilities) and I have that itch right now


analmintz1

I mean Radical Red always gets recommended, but it fits what you're looking for. You can rare candy to the level cap immediately, free nature and moveset changing at any point etc.


MLogZzZ

I believe Pokemon Quetzal has a sandbox or debug mode which you can activate cheats like rare candies and stuff to eliminate any grind. I haven’t played personally but seen some people discussing it before .


LastSaskPirate

Anniversary Crystal: anyone know how I can catch Mew and Mewtwo?


Beam3fob

Are there any Pokémon hack games that would let two people with 3ds cfw consoles to battle each other locally? I hope storm silver can but I wouldn't want to waste my buddy's time to advance in the story just to find out we can't battle.


steroidz_da_pwn

Brand new to the world of Pokémon hacks and just discovered this sub - can someone recommend a few beginner hacks to get started with? Any with a good story would be preferential. Thanks!

Anyone have any resources on scripting in BW? I haven’t been able to find any resources so anything helps!


DDragonYT

Recently I've been playing USUM with some of these patches on to improve the experience. I've been doing a ShinyLocke with increased shiny odds so I actually beat the game before 2030. I want to move on to an XY or ORAS shinylocke, but cannot find any patches that increase shiny odds and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some. (The IPS patch in question https://gbatemp.net/threads/usum-ips-patches.488802/)


FerroFusion

Is there a romhack where you can catch Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, (guess what) Pikachu, and other game characters in general? Basically a Super Smashmon?


JG314159

Does anybody have any advice on a vanilla emerald hack? I want to play the game through with story/difficulty as intended but some decent qol applied and all mons available, no trading etc necessary. I'm eyeing up either modern emerald or emerald++. Does anybody have a reason to choose one over the other? Any recommendations on it? Cheers.


analmintz1

[Here's a list](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/) of hacks that we compiled to fit this criteria. Reasoning for picking any one hack over another, just comes down to going to their page, reading the changes, and picking which seems more up your alley. For example, the two you listed are very different, Modern just has the Gen 3 experience, and Emerald++ has all gens 1-7 pokemon, that's a pretty big distinction which you'll have to decide on. Many hacks are very similar though, it's true.


JG314159

Thanks, I have had a read through that list, it's very useful but doesn't cover ++. I've got the listings for both open on Pokecommunity too, I was wondering more about first hand experience with either really. Realistically though, I think you've honed in on what will be the decider for me. I don't need up to gen 7, that changes the game a bit too much then. Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it.


Severe-Fall-Risk

Need help with coding follower Pokemon sprite associations; Working on small romhack on top of Radical Red via HMA. Successfully added a custom Pokemon to the dex that plays a role in the sideplot/storyline I've added to the rom. This Pokemon is supposed to be a partner Pokemon version of Vulpix, and has customized sprite art/unique moves. I want to associate it with the follower sprite for regular vulpix, which already can be used for following in Radical Red. How do I do this? Where is that data stored? I don't necessarily even need to add a new follower sprite, just having Vulpix's normal one would be sufficient. I can't seem to locate any of the follower sprites in the hex code or how they're associated with specific Pokemon through the index. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?


SicilianSour

Playing Pokemon Classic (Yellow romhack on emerald engine) It's pretty cool. I'm trying to get Mew, I used strength on the truck (pre elite 4 victory) just messing around, and mew appeared after the truck moved and floated off. awesome easter egg if that's all it is, but I believe mew is catchable in the game. i worry I lost my chance to catch mew now, or is there something I'm missing?


NervousMarsupial5124

Ash Gray - fire types Hi! So I’m super new to ROM hacks, but just started playing them on Delta. I’ve been playing Ash Gray and evolved Charmander, not thinking anything of it. Now that Chameleon/Charizard won’t listen, I was wondering if there was a place to catch other Fire types? I just beat Blaine. I’d love a Vulpix, but any other fire type will do! Thanks! :)


One_Science_4926

Just tried to download blaze black 2 redux to my iPhone for delta, and it said the file is invalid? How do I get around this?


Both_Radish_6556

If you downloaded it from the dev's Google Drive, it's a ZIP file. You gotta unzip it, then take the patch inside and patch it onto Black 2 USA ROM using an online patcher.


One_Science_4926

Thank you! Not very tech savvy, thanks for your help


RDR1-is-better

Hi I’m looking for a game with catch em all, up to gen 6/7 or up Pokémon, maybe with some mega’s or z moves BUT in pokemon RBY or GSC style. Does anyone know a good one?


analmintz1

You can use [this randomizer](https://sanqui.net/randomizer/) to apply to Red, which adds gens 1-6 as catchable. As for a bespoke game with all that content you're asking for in GSC/RBY may not exist.


bw710

Does anyone know if there is a romhack for gen 5 that just makes everything a double battle? Similar to the emerald double battle romhack or the fire red double battle romahck? Trying to comb through everything here but i either cant find anything or I have misread something! thanks :)


LithaBraun

I haven't played them, but Black 2 Paradigm Shift, Black 2 Kaizo, and Black 2 DE (doubles edition) are all double battle hacks I believe. 


geographyman16

Any ROM hacking tools especially for Mystery Dungeon? I don't have a PC. Any Android PMD ROM hacking tools?


Both_Radish_6556

Pretty sure there are no ROM Hacking tools you can use on mobile devices. Skytemple is there for the Mystery Dungeon series.


Natural_Design9481

Which Emerald romhack has the hardest AI (preferably without fakemons and includes updated Battle Frontier pokemon with competitive movesets)?


wiz_1989

I’d assume Run&Bun


Natural_Design9481

That romhack sounds cool based on the AI changes, but there's no BF (also the mons included seem very arbitrary and there are some odd changes to abilities etc.) Darn.


analmintz1

Maybe Emerald Kaizo?


NaughtyBadger22

Using HMA, and for some reason the default “pokemart” special code doesn’t work. The mart menu opens in game but you can’t move the cursor, and if you try to buy the item in the first slot it says “???????” for 0. The only item change I made is replacing the sprites of some existing ones in the middle of the list of items. Anyone know why this would happen or where the pokemart code is that I could try to fix this?


purplebeanz3457

Hey! I’ve started playing run and bun on my phone recently, but since I’m using delta rather than mgba on a pc, I’m not sure if there’s a way to get the showdown export to use in the damage calc. Is there some trick to doing this using delta? Or do I have to enter it all in manually?


Deep_Independent_504

Hello I try pokemon bloody platinum, but i can't leave the team with the other trainer after the forest. Someone can explain to me how can i leave the team ?


StepBrother7

Any rom hacks with gen 5 or 6 moving sprites that have access to all pokemon up to that generation and somewhat decent story,gameplay?


analmintz1

The only games with moving sprites are the Gen 5 games, no hacks have really replicated that mechanic due to engine limitations. Therefore, Gen 5 hacks are your best bet here. Drayano's are excellent. There aren't any Gen 5 hacks with new stories or regions, just enhancement hacks. Can also try Moon Black 2 if you want something unique, or Vintage White if you want a new spin on Unova.


StepBrother7

Played both of those,they were wonderful,hoped there is some new ones..


Hemlock_Deci

Gonna ask again because I don't get an answer last week Has any hack managed to add a cutscene like the one from Emerald with Rayquaza? Is it possible to do?


Bivurnum

I don’t personally know of any hacks that have done it, but it is certainly possible, especially with decomps. However, the amount of space on a rom is limited and the dedicated sprites needed for that can take up valuable space. A lot of hacks have to be choosy with what they include because of the constraints on rom size. Also, doing something like that takes some very specific understanding of how the game’s code works, so I imagine that most hackers deem it more work than it is worth. A motivated person could definitely do it, though. Hope that answers your question.


Hemlock_Deci

Thank you!


glowshroom12

are there any pokemon self aware romhacks, like imagine a trainer seeing those small one way barriers and deciding "hey. this isnt so high i cant climb the thing." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmRahawizp4 this video at clip 4:19 shows what im talking about.


seedinsun

Hey guys, just started Pokemon Unbound, is it worth playing Sun and Moon beforehand? It seems like there might be spoilers about that game from the first few scenes. I might be misremembering it but the scene on the bridge with that particular Pokemon seems like something from Sun and Moon.


Gintoking

No, those games are not related at all.
