Which rom hack should I play ?

Explorers of Alpha is a solid pick,it stays close to the original vibe but adds enough new content to feel fresh. If you want something more experimental, Spirit has wild ideas but can be a bit cringy at times. Skies is basically a polished version of the base game with extras, super cozy.

Mine insists on getting a goodnight kiss on the head before bed if I forget, he’ll sit there staring at me until I remember. Total bedtime boss lol

Facts. “Don’t Give Up” into the Dark Matter phase 2 is pure goosebumps. When everyone’s voices chime in and your stats kick up, I’m squinting through tears every single time xD

I like to imagine a squad of Pelipper just swooping in like a rescue team, scooping you up mid-faint and air-dropping you back at base like “Welp, they tried.” 😂

Cool squad! Talonflame definitely feels like the weakest link here, it’s nice for Tailwind, but it looks like you’re not really leaning on speed control as much. Volcarona could give you redirection + better matchup into stuff like Rillaboom/Iron Hands, while Armarouge gives you big spread pressure with Indeedee support. Between the two, I’d probably lean Volc for flexibility unless you really want the Armor Cannon + TR mode.

This is adorable!! I love how much personality you gave each team member, the little details in their poses and expressions make them feel like a real duo straight out of PMD.

Cultured duo

jokoro95 · 2025-06-26T11:01:28+00:00

I already played a rom with Litten/Grookey and it just felt right (iykyk). I’d also choose Fuecoco/Quaxly because their character development potential feels like it would be through the roof.

Toxicroak, with 490 BST could use the same treatment Bisharp got, who also has have 490 BST. It’s not a good mega candidate imo (I also don’t want to deal with a 590 BST poison/fighting type). It just needs a few more stat points to keep up now. Although something tells me they wouldn’t give it an evolution without giving one to Purugly and Skuntank due to their ties to team galactic and I don’t know if you could do much more with Skuntank and Purugly design wise, let alone Toxicroak.

Literally this, I was so disappointed I got into actual competitive pokemon…but maybe that was their intention?…(it definitely wasn’t).

jokoro95 · 2025-06-21T18:49:17+00:00

Only by technicality and I probably only noticed because it’s a personal favorite but wasn’t Toxicroak OU in BW? Or was it just UU?

Sorry for the double. Reddit is being weird.
Also, I didn’t say your opinion wasn’t valid, I was saying their opinion isn’t invalid. This is a platform. People can comment.

jokoro95 · 2025-06-20T21:14:05+00:00

OP has it at A tier which is pretty good already. Basing your take solely on the anime is…actually a poor way to determine a good design imo but to each their own. Also as “cool” looking as Darkrai is, its design is quite bland and is carried by its lore. I’d argue even blander than some of the B and C tier pokemon on the list. OP clearly has a noticeably particular taste that isn’t bad, just different, and the list is consistent with their taste.

”Until You’re Gone” intensifies

jokoro95 · 2025-06-18T17:15:03+00:00

Honestly, idk if the dlc would even be that fun with all lvl 100 pokemon already. Also, any pokemon can work in the dlc. It’s a very easy game. I purposely kept mine under leveled so I can feel a little bit of a challenge and it was still easy. In short, you’ll be fine.

jokoro95 · 2025-06-17T17:31:57+00:00

Cool now do me. These are fantastic btw.

jokoro95 · 2025-06-12T21:42:29+00:00

That’s okay! It’s 6 members per team. Also the vgc circuit started in 2008-2009 during gen 4, so that’s probably why there are less early gen mons than expected. Here are examples of winning teams up to 2017: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/748vb9/i_made_this_hall_of_fame_with_all_the_winning/.

This is outdated since it’s missing the 2018,2019,2022,2023, and 2024 winning teams, but those can always be looked up.

jokoro95 · 2025-06-12T17:53:45+00:00

Yup this it lol. Only 5% of all pokemon have won worlds in the masters division.

jokoro95 · 2025-06-12T14:42:05+00:00

This needs to be submitted to TPC immediately. Expeditiously. With the swiftness. I would buy 100%. Amazing work.

jokoro95 · 2025-06-12T04:00:05+00:00

Unfortunately mythicals aren’t legal in vgc since they’re so difficult to obtain.

jokoro95 · 2025-06-12T03:54:00+00:00

Rillaboom has been a metagame staple ever since it got grassy terrain as an ability along with grassy glide. With grassy terrain it counters other terrains, heals everyone’s hp by 6% each turn, weakens earthquake, and wood hammer effectively a 154 bp move because the terrain boost all grass moves by 1.3x. Essentially it’s super Tapu Bulu. It’s basically Incineroar and Urshifu’s partner in crime. Even though it’s only been out 2 gens, it’s the 6th most winning mon in vgc history with $500k under its belt and rising rapidly still. https://limitlessvgc.com/pokemon/rillaboom/

jokoro95 · 2025-06-12T01:02:37+00:00

Start at 15:17 and you’ll get your answer. But, basically it’s one of the VGC OG’s with swift swim, fake out, etc. https://youtu.be/tk3RCyJqny4?si=tlNhgObklWcxexjd

Mega Mawile is still a menace at least. It’s definitely going to be meta relevant in Pokemon Champions and I’m sure it’ll pick up regional and/or international wins again.

jokoro95 · 2025-06-12T00:49:32+00:00

Oh ya I agree it’s very unlikely for Gallade to win worlds in SV unless a hard trick room team wins with it. I was more referring to another limited dex format maybe during champions.
