Pokemon after gen 4 was a massive disappointment for me but I'm tempted to try this.

Also if anyone is wondering the creator of this fakemon pic reached out to the temtem devs and they actually put it in the game.

If it's going to be seen as this then it'll only have the reverse effect. I'm all for the monster catching genre to expand since Pokemon is garbage as you said but if they're going to copy that garbage in almost any capacity then their game is going to be fucking garbage. The fact that it's advertised as "Pokemon-Like" in the video is already a death sentence.

I'm in the alpha. Every character in the game is non-binary and is referred to by gender neutral pronouns. Even your Mom is non-binary and is called by name instead of 'Mom.' She also looks like the mask salesmen from Majora's Mask. This will be the most tranny infested game since Final Fantasy 14.

In the character creator you have to choose between a masculine or feminine body type instead of male and female: https://files.catbox.moe/8aeg21.png
The game also asks you to choose your pronoun and they/them is an option: https://files.catbox.moe/wy17ja.png
Here's a screenshot of the creepy mask salesman Mom: https://files.catbox.moe/62wc2b.png
I remember an NPC referring to their husband (ironically named Pepe) by they/them pronouns, but it's fixed now and I have no proof, so whatever.

Yeah. It's unfortunate but being forced to play as some non-binary person of color in an RPG that promises to fix the shit GF did by limiting the Pokemon to new Pokemon only and not allowing player customization really is a bold move on their end. There's no point in playing with any of the new shit if you can't face off the new mons against the already existing 800+, and their moves, abilities, items. I actually called them out on this very early on but nobody ever believed me.

What? Emerald, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver are still some of the best games in the series to this date and are still perfectly playable. Hell even if you're an absolute autist that needs the newest stuff 90% of the stuff that's missing in the games introduced in later entries can easily be remedied via QOL romhacks. The big things that can't be hacked in are triple and rotation battles.

It has a good game but the actual region is probably the worst of the 2D era. It doesn't look bland visually but the actual areas are very bland on average.
RS are pretty close to bad. Dive was a pretty cool gimmick though.
>>16783722
Its actually kinda impossible to make current pokemon good without reworking so much including old mons, by virtue of stuff like retarded distribution the game is kinda broken even from a design standpoint.
Trying to fix pokemon without modifying its current pool is a worthless effort, bad stats and such on a lot of mons asidehaving shitmons isn't balance breaking. Of course it is pokemon so taking a madmans endeavor is much better than just relying totally on fakemons.

>>16783893

How does that translate to a bad region? It's got some great routes if I dare say so. It's peak exploration paired with Sinnoh. How could you call either bland? I rather have bland than a themepark ride.
>Its actually kinda impossible to make current pokemon good without reworking so much including old mons
True but that balance is only important in post-game facilities. Having a trainer with a hitmonchan in your romhack would add variety. I'm not saying every pokemon needs to be in, hitmonchan is not particularly unique, but there's so many pokemon to pick to add to your game and why you wouldn't want your game to be the best pokemon experience possible is baffling, no wonder it died.

Well i'm daring to say the opposite. Routes are obviously the backbone of a region and what decides if its good or bad.
Most of the routes are very samesh.theres like three exceptions to this but that doesn't change the average
It still has side areas and such, but i was never trying to compete it against gen 6 onwards; where this should even be a factor in deciding things.

The only fucking issue it didn't fix that gen 2 had was the post johto levels, which can easily be remedied via a fan patch.
Regardless they're objectively better in every way compared to the originals in terms of mechanics, battle balance and content; ie the most important factors for a pokemon game.

The level curve is still trash. Wild mons 20 levels below you in the late game.
Johto leaders have all kanto mons.
Pointless dialogue to slow down the game everywhere. Dialogue is much worse than the originals.
The game is FUCKING SLOW. Saving takes all day. Really fun with the constant bombardment of shitty unnecessary dialogue!
The only reason HGSS are so popular is that pokemon follow.

i actually get amp for claire because of its dex entry but gyara nor nidoqueen aren't dwagons.*
I have no issue about falkner outside of the fact that his level 9sh range mixes badly with shit like farfetch'd and Delibird.of course being strong in a offensive sense probably means they're fine
Just Mantine/Ursarang/Houndoom/crobat in general. By virtue of random bullshit i'd argue that monty is worse than the original.

Anyway may as well take a crack at this;
>Falkner: Noctowl, Natu, Pidgeotto
There isn't much you can pull for an early gym is there? While the massive amount of rare pokemon in the earlier list makes easier sense from a mechanical standpoint; Falkner doesn't strike me as someone who would collect rare mons or stuff from odd places.
Illegal evos seem a bit more reasonable reallyand he already has one, plus an evolved mon as the literal first gym mon gives a bit more of a serious feeling.
>Bugsy: Pinsir, Shuckle, Scyther
Shuckle is probably the more standout thing here? It covers a few bug weaknesses technically, but the balance of shuckle coming up so early is always a question.
Pinsir just is a nice strong looking bug, first impressions are important after all, you can also catch it pretty close i'm pretty sure.
i never got why bugsys ace wasn't yanma or something, a common thing with johto leaders is that they have a gen 2 ace but the rest of their team is gen 1.
>Whitney: Clefable/Wigglypuff(since clef isn't even normal anymore), Furret, Ursaring/Girafarig, Miltank
The clef or wigg is probably more of a taste thing. I think gyms getting an extra mon every two is probably the furthest you can drag up-scaling of teams without it feeling weak.
I think having a random bear on a "cute" team is just kinda funny, though if the cute theme is required then Giragarig is an option.
Anyway unlike most types normal doesn't need to cover many weaknesses; so a lot less thought into whats there is needed.
>Morty: Haunter, Misdreavus, Marowak, Gengar
Man the first two gens don't have many ghosts. Can't really do much with ole Morty can you. If gen 4 evos were in this i'd probably replace Haunter is Mismagius.
Marowak doesn't seem too out of place for a ghost team so he's around, if deadsola was an option i guess it'd be swapped out for that.
>Chuck: Primpape, Heracross, Hitmontop, Machamp, Poliwrath
A good chunk of fightings at this point are the hitmons, using more than one basically means they taken three slots; so only one here.
Machamp is a bit suspect but i think this is about the point he'd be fair, otherwise just make him a Machoke.
>Jasmine: Magnemite, Magneton, Forretress, Skarmory, Steelix
Always a good sign to have a whole evo line in there haha. Steel is a very small type in gen 2.
I have no good off type filler for this, though maybe the plain appearance and weak opening kinda work in a characterization sense,
Same as before, if you wanted to include later evos; evolve magnemite and magneton. I don't think the steel forms for dug/slash work for this though.
>Pryce: Dewgong, Sneasel, Delibird, Lapras, Cloyster, Piloswine
His team being really weak to electric and his ace being ground ironically lines up, but this weakness comes from the unsurprising fact that ice is a small type.
I think Delibird doesn't feel as weird as jynx in this case, even if it de-skews his team a bit. I'd probably replace Lapras if i had to fix the electric weakness.
>Claire: Dragonair, Ampharos, Arbok, Gyarados, Kingdra, Kingdra
Now dragon is a small pool thats for sure, so in the end gyara got in anyway despite my whining.
Double kingdra is a reference to lance, though he never had double dnite; either it was triple or it was dragonair.
Arbok is in the dragon egg group so he counts. I don't like using gyara since she comes right before lance.
Later gens don't really help this team either, legacy form doesn't fit and legacy evos don't exist for dragons.

This is fine if the game is balanced, as it should, around 16 gyms. At least the first gym doesn't have 6 pokemon like every single retarded romhack makes me play through. Not defending it though.

The issue with that is there is no way in hell to balance the game like that, the level cap supports it; the mon cap does not.
You can't snails pace mon escalation without doing something ridiculous like tying the player mon limit to badges.
The player will have six mons earlier by virtue of the ground they needed to cover to get there. I don't know the specific math but i'd imagine that occurs by like gym 5 on average.
Obviously leeway makes sense instead of such guesswork but gym 9 is pretty obviously going to be past that point.
Gen 6 exp share would cause this to occur even faster for whatever thats worth, of course that still doesn't mean the average player will be packing six by gym 1 in that case either, it would probably be 3/4.
I don't know what you would do to escalate it at the 9th gym onwards but mon count simply doesn't work on a fundamental level.holding back held items and such for that long would be stupid as well.
G/S's way of "choose your order" probably should mean that each 9-16 gym should just be a "full fledged" with everything being as well done as it could be without breaking themes and such.
Doesn't really help with a linear 16 gym thing though
Romhacks and such always have a very off view of how to balance things usually.

I would say both men limit and level limit would be the only way to force the player to actually think about their strategies on s gym by gym basis. However, if you did this it would become readily apparent quickly how shite pokemon battles really are.

Its a good thing multi-types exist then, most types can somewhat handle their weaknesses if used correctly.
The games would not be better designed if bosses weren't type locked let me tell you, gamefreak would have fucked them up in a similar way.
>>16784285
>Her entire character is based around how butthurt she is living in the shadow of Lance.
Thats not what bootleg means.
Its not a good idea to have her have lances team but worse from technical standpoint either.
She does not want to be lance outside of a singular factor, she isn't trying to mimic him but train up what was pretty much the only dragon at the time.
Her running dragonair(s) is the only factor that should be reflected by this, gyara doesn't make a lick of sense for that.

Beat a kaizo romhack where everything is actually an uphill battle, from purposely being given inferior pokemon to being locked out of items.

Here's a question, if more Pokemon in a single battle are better, why aren't there any rom hacks that break the 6 Pokemon limit for opponents? If 6 is good, then 10 must be even better. Of course, with a Gen 1 or 2 game you might end up with teams of the same Pokemon like five times, given each trainer type needs to have a theme and there's only so many Pokemon in that theme. It's not like the AI can strategize well to begin with either. Hell, singles is a pretty bad format in general, which is why 6 Pokemon teams are more of a slog than a challenge. In a doubles match, 6 Pokemon are much better balanced. You've played the Game Cube games, right?

I don't think anyone ever said more pokemon is better. It would definitely change team dynamics, but it wouldn't really add anything to the game. Six just seems to be the sweet spot for having team variety without battles feeling sluggish. Singles isn't a terrible format, the metagame is just shit. Comp battles have been shit for a while. But I will agree that doubles is a lot more strategic than singles. Just the interaction with cooperative pokemon abilities makes it better than singles. Yes, I've played Colosseum and Gale of Darkness, but i didnt finish Gale. Why?
>>16784474

Six actually is pretty sluggish, not from a length period but from a options perspective. Six mons pretty much always cause games to drag due to way too many answers to mons in each game.
The "choose 3 out of 6" is a vastly better format in terms of actual dynamics for singles

I feel like the GameCube games are a lot more engaging, at least in the boss fights. While Gale of Darkness does re-use some off the boss strategies from the first game, that's barely a criticism when Pokemon games have been using type theming with not much else going on. It's bad when boss fights against a single Totem Pokemon in SM can be more engaging than gym leaders of previous games simply because they have a strategy and support. I haven't pirated Sword/Shield yet, but I've heard the dragon gym leader does doubles and has a sand team, and that's more than most trainers in the franchise have so it sounds alright. I guess what I'm saying is Pokemon doesn't need to be difficult. It doesn't need high levels or stats, or particularly strong Pokemon, or a lot of Pokemon. What it needs is an AI and team that can maybe use a strategy. I've said before that Pokemon, ideally, should be like Kirby. Really easy main game, decent bosses that aren't too hard, but the postgame stuff ramps up the challenge at least a little. Not every game needs to be hard, but if what you're doing isn't fun or engaging what's the point. If you want to test my theory on AI, here's a Gen 1 Pokemon hack that fixes some bugs and improves AI a bit (notably by adding an entirely new AI routine that switches sometimes).

If you're a weird purist or want to take the hack in a different direction but want the basic improvements, there's also a lite branch.

Yeah morty was kinda unsalvagable from a "just give him spooks" perspective.
But even stadium gave him the obvious choice of Marowak despite giving him random garbage with it.Houndoom sorta fits as well by his design, though he's not actually linked to death.
I guess it was mostly crobat that weirded me out, it doesn't help it leaves him half half in typings which is even more suspect.its about on-par with Brunos fucking Onixes
The Stadium stuff is so random there's no reason to pull from it, logically; and its not like Pryce is getting something from a mon in a type that literally doesn't help ice at all, it even shares weakness.
Granbull doesn't fit and do much at all, Mime/Mantine both don't fit even if they serve an actual purpose.though i suppose a something that interacts well with fire doesn't really exist in the steel range at that point.
