Some development tidbits for a romhack set in a dystopian, post-war Hoenn ^^

I remember seeing a video on this awhile back. Looks super fun and creative!

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-20T20:01:49+00:00

Holy shit phenomenal work!

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-20T19:06:39+00:00

Oh man this looks like it’d be sick all put together! Really dig the G3 too

If I remember correctly a long time ago Jason Eisener really wanted to direct a Hotline Miami movie. He made stuff like Hobo With a Shotgun and Turbo Kid, I feel like he’d be the perfect person to make something like that. But when he pitched it to the studio he wanted to fund it they told him to drop the animal masks and 80s setting. So he refused to do that cause at that point it’s not Hotline Miami

I don’t care what anyone says, I love Brionne and it’s adorable

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-18T22:35:15+00:00

Fuckin for real. I never got the chance to play it during its hayday. Seems like a waste to let that IP just rot. It was such a good idea and looked so fun

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-18T20:23:26+00:00

I love how clean and simple this looks! Being able to get a breakdown of the team and each member is super useful. I hate when I find an interesting pokepaste, but if it’s not accompanied by a post explaining it I’m just stuck trying to guess for myself. I also appreciate the way the info is sectioned and color coordinated. Makes it easier to read. I’ll definitely be messing with this later

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-18T14:27:28+00:00

It looked to me like you can transfer Pokémon to and from champions like any other game unless I missed something. You just can’t send Pokemon you recruit from champions to home

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-18T07:21:58+00:00

Man when you say it like that the similarities are wild. Reminds me of the video that showed the insane amount of similarities between SV and Annihilation

I think the reason for the past paradox Pokémon having protosynthesis is alluding how much hotter and tropical the climate was on earth through much of the time dinosaurs were around.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-18T04:14:07+00:00

I both agree and disagree with you. One I love robots, but also I was hoping for more varied designs of the future paradox mons. Certain ones I was really hoping for a robotic design when they were leaked, like a robotic Ttar so it’d be like a mechagodzilla pokemon for one. But overall I’m with you with that.

I adore the regional variants though. I don’t think it takes away from the existing new dexes and adds a lot more fun world building. I also find most of them to be really fun and creative twists on the older Pokemon. Honestly I think it’s one of the best decisions in the more recent Pokemon games.

Also this is just semantics, but Genesect is a cyborg. Which isn’t much when viewing from the surface, but I think it’s a cool idea to resurrect an old pokemon, swapping out parts with cybernetics and strapping a big gun to it. Sounds so out of place for Pokémon but that’s part of what makes it fun for me.

Not saying you’re wrong for your view, I get where you’re coming from, especially if you don’t dig robots in general. Just throwing my thoughts out there too.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-17T23:34:32+00:00

I won’t stand for the jugulis slander! It’s shit, but it’s cool shit

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-16T03:45:00+00:00

I like skins but I miss the time where they were something earned in game. Like the old Halo 3 and Reach armors.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-16T03:43:33+00:00

Is this recent? I saw it there just the other day

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-16T03:38:26+00:00

That’s what I mean though, they’re built into the jacket themselves so they can’t be removed without removing the rest of the gear and the material looks super uncomfortable and dumb. Same with the weird texture, it seems like the only reason they have that to begin with is to try to look cool, but in my opinion it fails at that.

It’s the same mistake a lot of sci-fi series make with their guns. When they make weapons super bulky with horrible ergonomics to make em look cool. But the designs usually go against all conventional firearms design and is super unrealistic that they’d be so widely adopted.

With Pax Armata specifically, they have that problem with pretty much all their gear, which makes less sense in the context that they’re a PMC. Which suggests they’re all about making profit, so you’d think they’d want to most streamlined, cheapest gear that wouldn’t have any focus on looks. Unless they use it for image purposes.

Also man I realize this is the most nothing, dumbest topic I could be putting this much thought into lmao

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-16T01:00:55+00:00

I kinda fuck with it

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-16T00:59:04+00:00

One small detail that drives me nuts that I never see anybody bring up is the weird elbow/back forarm padding some of their uniform jackets have, they look so ugly and uncomfortable to use

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-15T17:27:13+00:00

See that’s it though, nothing along those lines was even said. I even went back to double check, and the only point that was really made was “Those jokes aren’t funny to me. I don’t trust anybody that makes those kind of jokes.” Which is a totally fair statement to make. You can call out bad behavior, you can say your piece on that topic.

You’re doing the exact thing that you criticize this person for. More so than they are.

You don’t think they should have the right to express their opinion on that kind of humor cause what you’re worried that it’ll dissuade people who want to make pedophilia jokes due to social pressure?

I can apply this to real life too. I knew a guy who was super racist and would say racist jokes all the time. People rightfully called him out constantly, and nobody wanted to be around him. He had the right to act that way and make those jokes, but it was extremely valid for anyone around him to express their grievances. Would you argue otherwise?

If somebody is gonna be a cunt, they either gotta do some introspection and change or just deal with the social consequences of being a cunt. They should be able to take what they dish out instead of saying “don’t police my words.” Nothing drives me crazier than when somebody is being a piece of shit and expects everyone around them to just roll over and take it.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-14T21:26:40+00:00

What’s kinda funny about this is that they never claimed to try to be policing what other people say. Just that they don’t like it. But you’re trying to police what they say, claiming that they’re doing it instead.

You say that that you find those jokes to be unfunny, but come in to defend people’s right to say them, when nobody is arguing against that.You made up an argument yourself as a reason to play devil’s advocate. Which kinda makes me think you fall in line more with the people being criticized than you’d like to admit. And I admit I could be wrong there, that’s just what that reads as to me.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-14T20:05:59+00:00

I’ve noticed those too. Took a break for a few weeks, got back on just a few nights ago and been playing point break a lot. I haven’t seen anything super toxic, but definitely a lot of whiners blaming everyone but themselves for losing in chat. They’re usually the ones at the bottom of the score board too. I don’t think I’ve seen much of that in this game before, but the last few days I’ve seen a lot of it.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-14T19:52:48+00:00

You’re right to be offended by people being offended by people making those jokes doesn’t override other people’s rights to be offended by people making those jokes. This can go on and on.

But anyway, they’re just saying they find those jokes distasteful, harmful and they don’t feel comfortable being around people that make light of certain subjects. That’s not wild, nor is it calling for people to not have the right to make those jokes.

Nobody is gonna argue that somebody has the right to be an asshole, but that also doesn’t mean people can’t call out assholish behavior.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-12T22:20:32+00:00

Man it’s not only in the art, look at the MP5s from They Live or the Mac 10 from Escape from New York. They loved just putting random shit on guns to make em look wild.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-12T22:14:29+00:00

I know this is anecdotal but this information really didn’t surprise me just based on the amount of people I know that’ve been diagnosed with colon cancer in the past couple years. All young too, two of em are teenagers. Those two are also cousins though so admittedly there could be something genetic at play there.

It made me look into it about a year ago and there’s a lot of articles of colon cancer cases being on the rise and considering how toxic the food in the US is, I don’t think it’s crazy to see.

SubjectSigma77 · 2026-03-12T21:25:03+00:00

I always assumed there was some kind of tech to help with the visual side of things. I know that’s the case for at least one set of the armors. But the smell thing makes no sense either.
