The funniest thing about Lysandre for me is that everyone around him is too stupid to realize that the redhead who speaks like a supervillain every time he appears is in fact the leader of a villainous team of redheads. Also "kill all undesirables making the world ugly" is a funny way to put it given that it's his company that developed the Holo Caster you use throughout the game.

It's not that serial killers and school shooters aren't conspicuous af in real life.
A triple A company Game Freak would never add such high IQ meta afterwit to their games on purpose, or would they?

@Squawking Macaw: Gen 7 and 8 allowed you to send your mons on expeditions where they just mined in caves. Or did jobs. Really surprised they did not add to that for Gen 9 considering the premiss of the story was about treasure hunting

And honestly It doesn’t surprise me GF did not go far enough with Arceus. I remember no one wanting it leading up to release and everyone being way more excited for BDSP.

GF honestly needs to stop listening to the loudest demands. Addressing those always ends up being bad in hindsight.

How pathetic do these people have to be to defend Nintendo's copyright on their behalf? That statement is legalese for "calm down, we know and we don't care."

It's been pointed out - Nintendo is one of, if not the most, litigious companies in the world. Granted this is because Japan doesn't have a Fair Use law, so Nintendo is making sure no one steals their shit, but the point stands.

So if Nintendo's reaction to Pal World has been "Yes, it exists, stop telling us about it", beyond deploying the lawyers at the dipshit who literally made a Pokemon Mod for Pal World? Especially when the company that made Pal World is also Japanese? Yeah this is just rabid fanboyism at its finest, and it just makes everyone look retarded.

Gives us entertainment, so I can't complain

I concluded that would require a full-on demake.

Apparently, I was no the only one. Redbregade05 is making one:

r/PokemonROMhacks - Pokemon SV GBA Demake ROM Hack

157 votes and 21 comments so far on Reddit
www.reddit.com www.reddit.com

I then thought about doing demakes of the other 3D games, but some already had the same idea.
Someone already converted th entire Sword & Shield games, including DLC places, to a playable 2D ROM: https://whackahack.com/juegos/pokemon-espada-y-escudo-gba/
Someon else is converting X and Y: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/ynxqq5/pokémon_xy_gba_demake_new_screenshots_06th/

I guess that leaves Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon to me... if I ever get around to that.

A recent reaction brough this post to my attention.
Unfortunately, the last I have seen of Redbregade05 in Reddit is one year ago. Even then, Redbregade05 seemed to have switched projects.

Coincidentially, I was working on my own GBC-style demake yesterday. I still need to fix a ROM bank issues and other things, though.

Completely faithful remake by a third party is the most recent.

And there is a history of people wanting certain types of games and then not really buying them so making them honestly bad from a buisness point of view - the battle sims, Colo etc

And there has been a wonderful history of GF restricting the Dex in the majority of the games the players really like.

What?

Someone left a reaction sticker on that old post where I mentioned the hack that wa supposed to demake SV on the GBA.

Speaking of demakes, th is the 41st build of my hack.
Unfortunately, saving, Pokéball animations, disobedience messages, and post-defeat Leader messages are broken. That may be cause of me accidentally pushing some stuff in WRAM. I also need to update the copyright date. I need to fix those in the next build.
However, I cleared some more unused space, decapitalised some more, fixed th efficiency of Mystery Gift, undid a change in the intro, and rearranged the cry code. Other details include:
  • Declining a battle offer in the Trainer Hall will not make the Trainer Hall unavailable that day.
  • Experience boosts should be doubled instead of added by half.
  • Venonat can be found in the Bug-Catching contest.
  • Golduck is now Psychic and Water.
  • More items can be gotten through Mystery Gift.
  • Headbuttable town trees should have their own encounter table.
  • I added Facade and Exaflop, that super-splash move that @Disc mentioned. They are unavilable a the moment, bu they should work.
  • Leaders should now give items instead of HMs. (A variable that should stop Prof. Oak from telling you not to use an item in the wrong time was probably the cause of my WRAM problem.)
I also managed to get working evolutions based on low happiness. What I did was look a the code of evolutions based on high happiness and copy the code.

.happiness ld a, [wTempMonHappiness] cp HAPPINESS_TO_EVOLVE jp c, .dont_evolve_2 call IsMonHoldingEverstone jp z, .dont_evolve_2

I did not know what jp c did, but I could guess that jp c compares c to the minimum required value of happiness, then prevents the evolution if c does not have a high enough value. What I did was the opposite: just make a variable that was just over the intended maximum happiness (30) then have the code continue to th evolution if c does not have a high enough value. Of course, since this could would automatically jump to the proceeding branch, I would have to move th Everstone check first.

.anger call IsMonHoldingEverstone jp z, .dont_evolve_2 ld a, [wTempMonHappiness] cp ANGER_TO_EVOLVE jp c, .proceed ; jr .dont_evolve_2

Putting this code, however, ended up with an error from a lack of space, hence I got rid of trade-based evolutions altogether. They already were able to evolve through the included, available Link Cable item in an way.

While I did this, I decided to make trading completely unneccesary. Version exclusives now ar extremely rare ncounters. Starters and fossils now are normal encounters. Legendaries are now trades. I had to add a couple of more trades and jam in a few others, though.

Am I the only one that thinks most of that issue could be solved by being able to skip the animation? I like it, I find it derpy and charming and very much in line with the charmful stuff GF tends to do…but I don’t need to see it a billion times.

Even the sprite based games had stuff in it that you had to watch frequently if you ‘grinded’ and my god, fun at first but boy does it get tedious fucking fast.

Fire Red/Leaf Green had little animations play every time you used an item on your Pokémon out of battle or taught it a TM. Clearly they were trying to add some flair to their remake (and it was a tiny bit practical, how close the Pokémon got when you used an item was a rough indicator of friendship level) but I for one am glad those cutscenes didn't stick around.

They tend to give it a shot every Gen actually. I’m real happy that PLA panned out. Chances to get a PLC are high. And XY is absolutely set up for a PLZ

They want to ignore Kalos because Gamefreak does not want to touch Mega Evolution ever again. And PLC means...?

Edit: Ah, Pokemon Legends: Celebi. I see them trying that kind of remake happening more with Unova first.
