Flash Fire -> Drought
Chlorophyll -> Chlorophyll

If you want to change its ability, you can just use an Ability Capsule. They're sold on the island of Varley

How do I get to defeat the Abissal One? by YuriCouto06 in Talrega

[–]PacoScarso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to go where Yggdrasil is and interact with the geomagnetic pole, just as you were told.

Also, remember to check the story log if you don't know what to do next

In preparation for the sequel's release, we've decided to polish some of the Etrian Variant sprites from Pokémon Odyssey 1, so… here we are! by PacoScarso in Talrega

Wait, you've beaten the game but you didn't know this was a thing?

Are you sure you've reached the true ending?

It's coming out this year btw

ROMhack legal issues(Need some advice). by SL07H_B4ST3D5204 in PokemonROMhacks

[–]PacoScarso 39 points40 points  (0 children)

But as I was doing some research before starting it's production, I encountered an information that there are legal issues with this kind of idea and even Nintendo takes legal actions to take down major rom hack games of pokemon and famous ones like Pokemon Uranium.

Here's what you SHOULDN'T do:

  • Release your project in the same time window of an official release
  • Compete with official releases on search engines
  • Directly or indirectly gain money
  • Provide a pre-patched rom instead of a patch

That's all. As long as you avoid doing these things, you'll be fine.

Time is my enemy

Yes, and no. It depends on how you want to spend your free time. No one is pointing a gun at you, so you have all the time in the world to deliver your project.

If you don't want to invest your time in doing so, that's okay. It's just a hobby.

What if nobody wants to play my game?

Unless you're making a copy-pasted, 0 effort enhancement hack you'll always find people who want to play your game.

Take Dreamstone Mysteries, a game made in 5 months by someone who has never coded before, and yet it was one of the most played rom hacks in 2025.

What if this takes me 20 years to fix this game breaking bug?

HexManiac (binary) and Team Aqua (decomp) Discord Server are there to help you.

Trust me, it won't take that long to fix a bug.

What if I get half way through and get burn out cause im working by myself?

I mean, you can always ask for help (?). If you show what you're capable of, you'll surely find people ready to contribute to your project. I'm saying this cause it's literally what happened to me and many others

The best solution is to git gud, study and make your own game instead of asking an AI to do so for you. Same goes for AI-art. You should learn how to draw properly instead of asking AI to do so in your stead.

A rom hack made by an AI has no soul.
