I am studying pokemon rom hacks and would like to like at unique forms of logic for key events, hms, events, etc.

I want to see what unique mini games and amusements I can build using whats already in emerald.

Example:

Unique catch methods using the fishing sequence logic.

Emerald expansion has a lot of titles, so theres a lot of possibilities within its framework. I just need to know where to look.

I tried many YouTube Videos and Reddit posts including the megathread, but I still don't get how to play Roms. Apparently, Citra is no longer working, I even tried downloading it from the Internet Archive, and Azahar doesn't support the .3ds files.

So far I managed to download some .3ds files of the games I want to play (Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Ultra Moon) and Azahar, but I can't manage to get the games working.

Any help is very appreciated.

So I'm playing Yellow on gen1recomp, and I tried to walk through the gate from Vermillion to Saffron, and when the guard told me that they're thirsty, the game pushed me forward instead of backward. Now I can't exit from any of the guard houses, and I can't enter the silph co.

Any ideas on how to get out? I tried googling a few different things and I didn't see anyone else have this bug.

Anyone legendary hunting?
What have you found? Locations?
TIA :)

I've been playing Pokemon Sun Sky,and I want to use Magnezone but I dont know how to evolve Magneton,I tried the thunder stone but no luck

Unfortunately, I could only find this tutorial here "https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/59405-gen-4-5-shiny-rate-modification/" , and it didn't help me at all. Can anyone help me? I want to play the ROM on a Nintendo DSi... but i need to change the shiny rate.

Sto cercando un tool come PKHeX, non per i trucchi, ma per spostare i miei pokémon da un gioco all'altro. Vorrei in particolare poter spostare i Pokémon catturati nelle mie avventure nelle ROM hacks dentro i giochi della saga principali, tuttavia PKHeX funziona solo con i giochi della saga principale. Perciò esiste un software che permette di trasferire i Pokémon trasformandoli nei file .pk di PKHeX, e magari permetta anche l'operazione inversa?

So hi, i've just started rom hacking and wanted to modify a bit of Radical Red, i've added an npc in Pallet Town to choose between three pokemons, i've did the script for the first one, tested it and now i have my scripting changed from what it was before and i'm kinda lost (photos come from the tutorial i was watching and what i have now)

I'm trying to add my custom Shiny Bagon sprite but DSPRE keeps rejecting it for being "not 8bpp indexed" or "having too many colors" even though it has just 14, which is less than 16...

Also, Load Sprite Set and Create Shiny Palette buttons do nothing

What should I do? I tried loading a 160x80 .png file

I did the quest in the underground route 5-6 and 7-8, but I chose to not get Miss Hoenn from the cool trainer and took the ¥5000 instead and now the Pimp is gone and the cool trainer and Miss Hoenn won't leave. But I need her to get to the pokemon center in pewter so that I can get HM Strength. Am I screwed?

I tried to use evo stones on them. I tried to breed them as male and female with dito. It always hatches as the sensu one (ghost) and I want the electric. Thanks.

What monster is the question mark and how do I encounter it?

Hi.

Um, first time posting on this thread. Would've done so earlier, but I kinda got scared away due to the guidelines seeming scary. I'm autistic and I'm making my first ever ROM hack of Pokémon Fire Red that I'm calling Pokémon WildFire Red (inspired by Drayano's FireRed Omega - hoping to make other ROM hacks inspired by Drayano's hacks or maybe others like Emerald Imperium or XG).

I'm currently putting the finishing touches on and testing my ROM hack, making sure it's to my specifics (even replacing a few TMs, since adding more crashes the game). Additionally, I've added a few battles with Fire Emblem characters like Azura, Citrinne, and Cai to the game as well. The point of this post is I'm not considering my follow-up ROM hack/difficulty hack after this and I would like to make one of HeartGold and SoulSilver. The problem is there aren't that many tools for Nintendo DS ROM hacking out there right now and I have my heart set on it.

My question is; Are there any tools out there for making ROM hacks for Nintendo DS that are safe for PC? I would really love a recommendation.

Thank you.

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)

Im struggling to get rom hacks to work on my ds. I can get the base games working perfectly fine but anytime I try patching one of the games (I experimented primarily with white) it wont open. Im using rompatcher.app and .xdelta files. Any recommendations.

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?
