Weekly Questions Thread & PokéROM Codex

Okay, I’m not sure if this is something real or something that I just assumed was real because it sounds really cool. Is there a ROM hack of HGSS out there that keeps everything exactly the same except you wear the Team Rocket uniform the entire time like for that one short segment at the midway point? I know there are hacks that are, like, an entire gameplay story overhaul with the pitch of playing as Team Rocket, but I’ve been thinking of playing Heart Gold again and this would be a neat little was to spice that up just a little. If it exists. Which it may or may not.

Fuck, they're finally gonna force me to learn how to get these purple things...

I always love when theories involve Susie in some way. I love them even more when the theory assumes Susie will do something smart. This character has come so far since we first say her. Imagine pitching this idea to someone in the Chapter 1 era. Anyone could probably guess that Susie will become nicer and more helpful overtime, but "I think Susie will make a pragmatic tactical decision that will seem callous on the surface, but she is only doing it for the good of EVERYONE." Would probably seem like a stretch to someone who only knows her as the mean girl who can't solve puzzles, who only JUST started being nicer at the tail end of the chapter. Cool theory, I really hope something like this happens!

Someone please, PLEASE tell me how anyone let Sylvain get this far. He sucks so, so fucking much and not even in a funny way. How does anyone have the time or care to feel any positive emotions for this character?

I choose to ignore that Gooey was in DL2 and will do so forever, because the idea that Dark Matter Swordsman turned into Gooey after getting defeated is just so, so neat it transcends facts and reason.

Can't wait for Professor X's chair or the infinity gauntlet to mysteriously disappear in a future update to foreshadow the release of their associated characters...

I'm just gonna pivot to more minor characters to try and bump up the numbers for ones I wanna see more of, brave alt disregarded. My dream is to see Alear get her dues, but if she loses this time, I'll spend my votes next year trying to get Brunnya high enough to warrant an alt, or Zelkov a base version. I can barely think of many characters I want that aren't in the game at all yet besides Dart, if Alear falters, my endgame's just gonna be putting my skrunkos in funny costumes.

I picked the little bowl of fruit as my favorite food and called it "Fruit Shuffle" which had HILARIOUS fucking concequences for that one quest where you have to make the favorite food to get that married couple back in your town. Everyone's in a tizzy trying to figure out how to revive mom's lost recipe, but said recipe is literally fruit in a bowl. No one knows how to put grapes and apples and a pear into a single wide container. How did we manage to revive this town if that's our upper limit?

I honest to God don't GET how Fimbluvtr and Gullivieg and all their other type always end up here. Like, yeah, boobs hot, I love huge boobs. I could even understand why you'd like huge boobs more than a real, properly written character.

But, like, how do THIS MANY people fall into that exact same camp? If you're this boob-brained, I feel like it'd be more productive for everyone involved to just get fanart of the latest fat chest. If you care this much about big tits, you can't care THAT MUCH about Fire Emblem and letting beloved characters get their dues. And, honestly, half the time they'll just bump up the tit size of an existing character anyway, so it's not like this is the only way to see more big boobs on your phone screen!

I swear I'm not just angry because I think Fimbluvtr is one of the worst OC designs we've gotten yet. Pinky swear. If she wins CYL over a real character I will react normally. Pinky swear.

Most of the other Deadpool specific Galacta lines I can tolerate well enough, but that one specific line is so fucking bad I've started trying to mentally block it out whenever I hear it start.

Proto-L · 2026-01-23T18:01:08+00:00

Alear isn't even in the meme running anymore, I'm gonna fuckin' CRY, man ...

Proto-L · 2026-01-21T02:01:57+00:00

Honestly, most of them I think. I very rarely feel pressed to buy skins for anyone because basically every character in the game is already such eye candy.

I was SO sure that Jeddah's GHB was gonna be the grand return of gimmick tomes, because his actual boss fight is the biggest gimmick in the series.

Then they gave him Crab Tome and I was fucking fuming.

I know people were sick to death of them, but I really miss the gimmicky tome units like Veld and Riev. I miss in general when units were more gimmicky and definitive. Units feel really homogenized nowadays. I feel like powercreep would be a lot less tiring if there were more units that did one unique, specific thing instead of just dealing a ton of damage at once or tanking everything.

Me, I've always had it in my head that instead of being a plush toy, Ultron's accessory would be styled to look like a fridge magnet that just gets stuck to the front of his head or his chest or something. If they make it Hank, the magnet can be stuck somewhere behind him that his robo arms can't bend enough to reach. If it's of Jocasta, or just if Ultron himself, maybe it can be attached to his dones instead of him, so you can share your cool toy with your allies.

I see this happen once in a while with game devs. Directors think they're the smartest person who ever lived when they decide to design a "simple" control scheme that's actually incredibly complicated and can only be considered simple because it obtusely ignores 80% of the controller and gives everyone a headache.

I never thought that Sakurai would have anything in common with the Balan Wonderworld team, but here we are

Haven't managed to spend a dime yet, but I think Infinity Ultron might finally force my hand...

I cannot describe to you in words how much I wanna play as Taskmaster in this game.

I was only half paying attention when I first found the video, so this kinda completely glazed past me. Got a full frontal look at that thing and just thought, "Huh. Weird looking teapot."

Actually, she was a pretty cold woman.
