You get a choice of like 18 different playable trainer skins and 80+ different starters
Then you learn that you can have all 6 of your party pokemon following you around on the overworld
Then you got the fact that you encounter pokemon via pokemon walking around in the grass, including visibly distinct shinies.
Oh and it has the full 1000+whatever pokedex so every different route has 20 pokemon walking around so as someone trying a Nuzlocke I'm just standing there struggling to decide which one to take
Oh and also since it's a romhack so I'm playing it on my 3DS
GBA era romhackers are something else
I definitely gotta agree that Pokemon switching to 3d may have been a mistake, especially considering how pretty B&W was.
Pokemon switching to 3D would have been fine if GameFreak weren't terrible developers.
That's the thing, you look at how Mario or zelda went from 2d to 3d in the N64 and you can see how they completely redesigned it to make an amazing game that pushed the platform.
And while not as big of a change you can see how they grew to make the new Mario or botw.
While gamefreak/Pokemon is like "what if you can swivel the camera around a little bit" or "okay maybe in one area you can see the Pokemon walking around". And it still lags like crazy.
Going 3d is only a problem if you use the 3d models exactly like sprites.

the year is 2023 and pokemon games have finally figured out what digimon games figured out more than a decade ago.
Did digimon games still exist in 2013?
Oh and it has both toggleable teamwide EXP share AND multiple difficulty settings
And it has a lot of rebalancing so even the most lowly of gimickmons can be somewhat viable. I picked Chikorita as my starter so I'll see how far that goes lol
Some of the fan made games are fucking brutal, I can't remember which one it was but I got stuck on the 3rd gym leader because they would throw a bunch of environmental status effects down and then swap in a mega evolution Beedrill.
Oh this looks like it could be fun... how long will it take to figure out how to do romhacks with my 3DS? let's see...
If you already have your 3ds hacked, you just open your FBI app, select 'remote install' and then 'from QR code' and then point your 3DS camera at the QR code in the reddit link.
if you don't have it hacked you should get on that. if you do, it's very simple
Pasting the guide I'm following here just for notekeeping purposes:
Oh sweet! https://3ds.hacks.guide/
Update: I got swept at the first gym
damn, Roxanne got hands lol
Hi I've never successfully emulated a game or done a romhack and I've tried like 30 times could someone as dumb as me play this?
GBA era romhackers are something else
The entire game has been manually decompiled, so you can add just about anything that the GBA can run
I’ve been playing PokeMMO which is also very well done. I’ll check this out
as someone trying a Nuzlocke I'm just standing there struggling to decide which one to take
Don't you have to take the first one you see on a route in a Nuzlocke?
Well yes but the rules usually say you have to take the first pokemon you "encounter" on the route so technically I'm also following the rules
GBA Romhackers are amazing. They've done some great stuff too with the Fire Emblem series as well. The Gaiden GBA remake is also a lot of fun if you're into GBA era Fire Emblem.

Has to come track this post down to say I'm loving this game and thanks for making the post about it
I'm glad! Romhacks as a whole are so cool, more people should know about them
