Also recently a romhack called Mariomon got released, which was bankrolled by that youtuber manchild Alpharad.

There isn't a gender select screen (you just play as Mario) but they did sneak in this:

(which reads as "TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!")

And their trooncord looks like this, which is not really any relevatory news to anyone:

Would be interested to see if editing the braille is an easy or hard task.

Replace it with "keep yourself safe", one of the Toads legitimately says that early in the game and it's a weirdly edgy joke to be in the same game as this tranny shit.

"Welcome," I guess, to all of the /vp/ refugees who manage to find their way here.
 
Finally caught Ho-Oh after further 5 Max Repels and 40 Repeat Balls, bringing the total to about 280 Max Repels and 140 Repeat Balls used. This must have been a record, no other Pokemon has ever given me this much trouble. I will admit, I do see potential in a game mechanic where a really powerful Pokemon is hard to catch and the chase is actually the fun part(which is the original concept for legendaries/pseudo legendaries in the first place, kinda recreated anyways with roamers), however how it's handled here, ie me running in grass with 0% chance to encounter anything like a moron, isn't it.
When I caught Ho-Oh it felt so good, like I took a really long piss after keeping it in for an hour and a half. To make up for lost time, I'm going to knockout the Ticket trio in short order: Ho-Oh again, Lugia and Deoxys. Ho-Oh and Deoxys are going into Repeat Balls and I already caught them so they will be easier this time, Ho-Oh only took me 15 Repeat Balls to catch. Lugia, I wasn't as lucky as I wanted this sucker in a Dive Ball. Only 25 to catch, altho I did get an Adamant natured one, not sure how useful it will be.

After Deoxys, I only have big boys to catch: Rayquaza in Altering Cave and the other two of the Weather Trio on Seven Island. If I recall correctly, you also get a rematch with Blue here, and once I deal with Team Rocket I only have Mewtwo and a rematch with Elite Four left. Might as well get it over with, so the endgame doesn't drag on for months like it did with Revelation Emerald when I got sidetracked with other things.

I don't think there will be anyone coming over from /vp/ who wasn't already here, because this thread actually talks about Pokemon and isn't a 24/7 porn dump.

Don't forget that the average /vp/ user these days is from twitter, reddit or discord. This place is offlimits to them.

Diamond and Pearl really needed a remake that wasnt BDSP, but more like legends arceus or Scarlet/Violet.

Arceus was the Gen 4 remaster, and it was open world. BDSP was a double dip from a B team, and we all know how that went.

It was called Platinum and came out in 2009.

It boggles the mind that BDSP didn't give us the Platinum enhancements. It's not like they overhauled the entire game ala ORAS so there is no excuse. My only theory is that Platinum was either a planned DLC expansion or a third version(of a remake, lol) but the sales numbers were so poor that TPCi didn't even bother greenlighting it.

i forgot what enhancements platinum even added besides the battle frontier and distortion world. It was basically the "emerald version" of Gen 4 with minimal additions and small edits to the main story that didn't change very much.

I remember the regi trio was in the game but locked behind an event regigigas for some autistic reason. Completely defeating the point of gathering the trio to battle it in the snowpoint temple when you started the quest with the end result pokemon. BDSP just relegated them to the pal park instead of adding the three regi tombs and the small floor tile puzzle. When it wasn't nearly as bad as Gen 3's braille required to open the regi tombs.

Though I miss the feeling of mystery the series could have with stuff like Shaymin, Darkrai, and the cut version of the Azur flute. Pokemon really needs something like that. Which is totally possible with all kinds of surreal fx in modern game engines. Why not have a glitch pokemon that breaks the 4th wall like a cooler ghost type version of Rotom that you have to go out of bounds to obtain? That would be too controversial I know. Ghost type legendary pokemon are very far and few between.

Yes I know rotom is ghost/electric but its basically sentient electricity and not an actual ghost. It being classified as a ghost type as a reference to possessing electronics and scaring people by popping out of them. Which it never does outside of the old chateau in gen 4. By the time of sun/moon its speaking fluently to you as a pokedex version of siri.

There was a massive engine upgrade so that everything wasn't quite so SLOW(still slower than games from other gens), there was more variety in Pokemon you can catch(you can now have TWO fire types plus a starter!), visual enhancements in some areas, different story(obviously), glitches fixed and of course, Battle Frontier on top of new Pokemon forms. When I type it here it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it really is, it's a difference between playing the beta version of the game and the full release. There is definitely enough here that they could have just made it part of the game but they were lazy.

No more Flint, the Fire Type member of the Elite Four having to use Steelix and Lopunny because he had nothing else.

Well, saving images is another matter. I have to manually open every new webp image from the last few days and screenshot it, gets really annoying as I refuse to have any of this garbage on my computer. I appreciate the option, but I liked how it worked earlier.

I disagree, in my opinion platinum is the most different out of any inhanced version. I'd say it's so different to diamond and pearl that it's a practically a completely different game that happens takes place in the same region. It added all non-legendery sinnoh pokemon to it's regional dex, which gave both more variety for the players and more variety for the npcs. It revamped certain areas to give them more of an personality, like enterna forest or team galactic's enterna base. It of course also including a better engine that made the game run leauges better than diamond and pearl. It also included gym leader rematches like emerald which is always nice. It even added small things like the pal park allowing for more than 6 transfers from gen 3 per day.

I'd aruge that the battle frontier is the least of platinum's addition and platinum is the sole reason why sinnoh is so beloved. most people didn't know or remember how barebones diamond and pearl are before bdsp came out and nostalgia no longer played a factor.
