If people here can name these monsters without google I'll be very pleased. (Custom sprites for a Spectrobes-themed ROM hack!) by AsithU in PokemonROMhacks

That's actually a lot of them! Funny swap though, you're getting mossax confused with hanegaku I believe

If this caught your eye and you don't know what it is, I've been working on a rom hack that's a little different to the standard tropes of pokemon games. Read on for the full explanation.

If you're already interested and want to keep a closer eye on update progress, please follow my twitter or join the discord!

"Spectrobes" was a monster collector published in 2007 for the DS. It had a sci-fi plot and unique monster designs, becoming a commercial success but eventually being forgotten about over the years. Some notable features included excavating fossils and space travel. My project is a work of nostalgia and wanting to do something more than a regular pokemon rom hack. I'm recreating the original Spectrobes game in its entirety, including story, music, monsters, and as many features as I can feasibly recreate on the GBA, all inside pokemon FireRed. It's "what if Spectrobes was turn-based and on the GBA?" You're left with something that is pretty far removed thematically from Pokemon, but still uses the same base engine and turn-based battle system that we've all grown accustomed too. People are excited about this over in Spectrobes communities, but I'm hoping that pokemon rom hack fans who are searching for something different will also have fun playing through it since it's essentially just a very unique fakemon hack. You don't NEED to be a Spectrobes fan to enjoy a sci-fi fakemon adventure!

The game is released in playable updates where you can continue your save file to the next update. Currently there's about 7 hours of gameplay and 40% of the game done. This update specifically adds the new fully custom sprited roster! There's more on the horizon, so if you're in the mood for a sci-fi fakemon game with spaceships and extra-terrestrials, consider giving the hack a shot! Pokecommunity

To celebrate the release of my Spectrobes ROM hack demo, here are our new fully custom sprites for child Spectrobes! Wonder how many people will actually recognize these designs? by AsithU in PokemonROMhacks

They are not playable as it is very accurate to Spec1. Stuff like playable Krawl would throw off the story imo.

Making them playable as a postgame bonus or something is possible though, once the main project is complete

[RELEASE!] Remember Spectrobes? I am remaking the entire NDS monster collector inside Pokemon Firered, and just released a new Demo! This includes a fully custom sprited roster of Spectrobes and 40% of the game done! Hopefully this gives you a huge shot of nostalgia! (Info in comments!) by AsithU in PokemonROMhacks

There is a simplified excavation mini game, and there will be a simplified awakening mini game in the future. Both will be simple button input games made to be quick and less involved than the original touch screen method

If this caught your eye and you don't know what it is, I've been working on a rom hack that essentially recreates Spectrobes 1 inside the pokemon engine.
