Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Abella]

Man I’m kinda sick of all these mid-30s and older millenials popping up with podcasts now to talk about how they only like the first generation. It’s always just a front for selling something or crypto.

I decided finally write all my pokemon romhack ideas for my game that will never exist because I dont know how to program.

Sometimes out of nowhere I have an idea and eventually forget it, no more, I will keep adding to my google keep notes.

I guess spitballing ideas must be just like what gamefreak does every new game according to the leaks since most of the cool ones are dropped and we only get the shit ideas.

I just really wish I could had an tool that would make easier to think of events in the story in the game that would make sense to be gamelike. This entire idea could work as a fanfic or a book but the game part (not even the gameplay but the maps and npc) are what I am interested the most.

I definitely encourage writing and designing games even when you know that they're never going to go anywhere. It's like how it's still good to exercise and have fun shooting a basketball in your driveway even though you know that you're not going to make the NBA at the end of it. Plus, it can be really good practice for other projects that do end up going somewhere.
Just be careful of how big of a time sink designing a fake game can be. Even if you're planning around what you think would actually be reasonable for a dev team to make, the fact that you never have to judge a finished product and that you lack many other real constraints can let you get really carried away. I've lost a lot of time to Battlefront 3, Fallout 5, and Ace Combat 8 (I guess it'd be "9," now).

The most infuriating part is that you think how it was supposed to be implemented in the actual game and your ideas kinda just goes there. And yeah the framework is that it is still a Gen 3 game so I am not talking about 3D graphics and stuff that doesn't exist. Just remixing existing tilesets and editing stuff here and there.

The cool stuff about it is that I don't have to care about balancing and other game stuff an can just imagine stuff like new regional forms from a very specific area in the map.

Also Battlefield 3? The Star Wars one?

What would be the hack bases?

What would be the hack bases?

Emerald. The core idea is what would happen if Kyogre won against Groudon pand flooded the world making it raise the sea levels. Then a timeskip of 4 years and what would happen to Hoenn after this.

The cool stuff is how to write world building and scenarios after this, last night I got an idea like this: since Slateport city is the closest to water it would be the most affected and on of the characters that would take the hardest would be Captain Stern, so he would take on a Moby Dick's captain Ahab role into trying to hunt and kill Kyogre and you would find him in various places across the Sea trying to find Kyogre.

So you imagine stuff like who would benefits the most and who would took the hardest and change their story or map to fill it. Another example is that Lavaridge town would great benefits from the events and would grow into a great city who would be the new energy (geothermal) supplier after the destruction of Mauville city and would build around the volcano.

Sootopolis city would also be affected since it would get lots of immigrants from destroyed cities and would be divided into two different classes of citizens: the inner sootopolis who are richer and the outer sootopolis who are poorer and built their city around the outer wall.

Or how the Battle Frontier would be renovated into another city to refugees instead of being just a battle ground with Scott as the mayor and with this I would use frontier brains as the new gym leaders/elite 4.

That is the core idea: a cataclysm event that would reshape Hoenn and we basically would travel to a Hoenn in a different context.

And why would Kyogre win against Groudon in the first place? It would tie to the blue and red orbs, a normal groudon would fight against Primal Kyogre and lose. The reason why Groudon didn't had a orb is that it was being used in the subterranean area to make life possible as the sun so I could use the beta/cut pokemon as species that werent discovered and regional differences between altered designs and create an underground post game with.

And one of these cut Pokemon would tie into the main story with the remains of the Magma/Aqua gang trying to force all pokemon to evolve into this new Hoenn Environment.

I would think tha the type advantage and how they were surrounded by water would b enough of an explanation, but you certainly gave an interesting take.
I also find interesting that KingCradi s doing a similar sequel hack, but assuming that Groudon won, instead.

Either way, I am very thankful that you told me your story so far. I look forward to any developments.
I kinda wan to help you make that hack a reality, though there are no guarantees right now.

My idea is that the reason to why Kyogre won is that it had an advantage and not in a type combination but with an unfair advantage, since it would be basically Groudon vs Primal Kyogre, one having the orb and the other would have to make sense in a way that it would tie to the original Red Orb being missing (being underground).

The idea is that the orbs that we know in normal Emerald are just fragments and somehow team Aqua got a way to make a duplicate with some help of the Devon corporation (that was financially involved with Castform and the Weather Insititute development)

The idea is that they developed a second artificial orb that would make Kyogre berserk with power and would start this whole stuff but it wasn't intentional. Then Archie would be in a prison underwater serving his sentence as his Aqua Team would act under new leadership trying to make all Hoenn Pokemon evolve into their new habitats (imagine an Aron that could swim), using information from the cut pokemon Evolotto and Castform shifiting his type, making all pokemon basically evolve into his own ambience since basically Kyogre flooding the world basically shifted the nature and pokemon habitat.

One of these ideas is to make a village for people that hate Pokemon because of the trauma caused by Kyogre fucking up their lives, so they would seclude themselves away.

The funny thing is that this entire idea surged because of what I hate the most about my favorite gen: when the conflict between Kyogre, Groudon started and Rayquaza appears it just gets resolved like in one instant. I hate that sudden conclusion.

One of the ideas to mitigate this is to send Rayquaza away and so far my idea is just to use the plot of pokémon movie 7 where Rayquaza fights Deoxys in the artic polar and loses and starts Hibernating there until he fully recovers, so that is why he would be absent from this fight.

Hoenn is my favorite region and there were some games that added stuff to the map that made me think: oh man there are so many ideas that could go from this expanded areas like this:

This is an area in the other side of Hoenn desert that mimics what happens in real life: when mountains are too high one side gets less water due to the mountain get to block all the rain and one side gets a desert and the other a forest. In this case, the Hoenn Monkeys habits this part.

Other cool stuff is to imagine what would the original character gym leaders/plot characters do after this four years.

I have some ideas for some but nothing for others.

I have this weird concept for Wallace, Juan and Glacia that they would form a new group that has the plan to freeze all the water and make the water recede by creating an gigantic iceberg near Hoenn. They could even be villains attempting to steal ice pokemon to booster their ranks.

My idea for Steven is that he would stop being a trainer and after his father death, he would take Devoncorp and go work into technology/infrastructure to help the people of Hoenn, shifting their business practices. I even got this idea to introduce a new corporation to make shittier pokeballs since Devon left the market and they have shittier pokeballs more expensive than before because the trainer doesn't have options.

Steven would connect to Roxxane as she would leave the school and focus on acquiring giant Rocks for Devoncorp by excavating the north of Rustboro (who would be a dicked wall city that would have even more buildings around it (maybe even invading the forest for the builders to leave and work in the rock extraction operations)

Brawly is a fun one: you have this surfer dude who lost everything since the entirety of dewford is underwater, which route to take with him: make him a happy go lucky guy or he would use this as motivation to make him train harder to never let something like this happen again to him?

Wattson I would like to have him killed during the flooding by helping others, so his gym would go to another city. Maybe Mt. Pyre (humans aiming for higher places since Kyogre is still free and making pokemon go away)

Well,I had wrote here even more ideas that I accidentally deleted. But writing all this is really fun exercise.

And if you want to make a romhack using all of my ideas, go ahead, when I finish all my writings I can share with you all. If someone likes them enough to make it happen, that is pretty cool.
