Backstory:
I've been playing Pokemon Hacks since this Summer when I found WAH. I told myself that too many of these are in a foreign language, so I google searched "Pokemon Rom Hacks". Of course WAH popped up again, but I also found this site called PokeCommunity. So I end up here, playing all these great rom hacks, and so here we are today.
Anyways, while playing these hacks (many of which focused heavily on story) I started to come up with little stories and situations in my head. I thought to myself "how cool would it be to make a Pokemon game the exact way I want it?"
This is where I run into trouble.
I don't really know what is required to hack roms.
I also don't know what kind of work one has to put into a rom, or the levels of frustration one might encounter.
So thats why instead of doing a Google search, I came here to ask these questions.
I chose here because I wanted some personalization in the responses. I am really trying to seek a wide variety of opinions.
1. In your opinion, at the most basic level, what are the most important skills a rom hacker should have?
2. What are the best tools for rom hacking, and why?
3. What sort of unique things do you like to incorporate into your roms, that a lot of other people don't do?
4. What do you think is the best attitude to have when approaching rom hacking?
Those are just some opinion based questions that I would be interested to see responses from.
Also as a beginning rom hacker, I feel I must ask that if you guys have any personal guidance for me, I would gladly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time :)
