I don't understand all the animosity towards the original tiles. XD I think they're fine. I think new tiles are nice, but I don't think they're the only thing that can make a good game. It also depends on what the creator aims to accomplish with his/her hack. For someone working alone (as...

Forgive me for the double post... I mistakenly made a thread about this yesterday, but I asked the moderator to close it down. I'm posting it here where it's supposed to be. X) I'm working on a ROM hack with fakemon, which means new sprites. I have exactly zero experience spriting (I'm a...

I think there's a bit too much going on here design-wise. Good design, in my opinion, is just different enough to stand out yet still recognizable. Take the totodile line: they're all clearly crocodiles (or aligators or something similar) only blue and bipedal. They're very simple though. And I...

Jeez, I'm sorry--I didn't realize there was a sticky thread specifically for sprites-in-progress. Mods, can you please go ahead and delete this thread?

Hey folks! I'm working on a ROM hack with fakemon, which means new sprites. I have exactly zero experience spriting (I'm a writer D: ) and I'm just learning as I go, so any advice from more experienced spriters would be extremely appreciated! My first attempt is in the attachments. (More...

Wanna be my friend? ;) Just kidding. Unless you decide to be my friend purely because I'm a lovely person anyway! (Okay, I'll stop.) You mean just the fast and loose planning stage, right? That's where I'm at right now, but every time I read up on scripting etc on the forums, I get all...

Thanks for the visitor message. Aren't you nice. ^^ Yup yup, all's well so far!

Haha, thanks. I might have to take you up on that. We'll see how it goes.

I take myself seriously only in that I want to make something worth making if I'm going to spend hours making it. I want to get the most of out my time. But, I mean, come on. It's a pokemon game hack. How seriously CAN you take something like that? :) Good point about making sure to enjoy what...

I don't tend to put a whole lot of energy into completing the dex, because I'm not going to train more than half of what I catch anyway. I'm a more-the-merrier kind of girl--why not have access to the whole National Dex? But I think the main regional dex should be specifically chosen and...

I don't think I need to tell anyone here that there's a lot that goes into a hack. So, when you start making a brand new one, where do you usually start? (Scripting? Spriting? Etc.) I ask partly because I think it could be helpful for me and anyone else who's just starting out and overwhelmed...

Yay writing! I dabble in fanfiction occasionally, but I never seem to actually get around to finishing anything. I get distracted by my other ideas--a SRS BSNS novel I'm working on, for example. Fanfiction is definitely what first got me into writing, though. I was such an ff.net addict. :D I do...

Hey pokecommunity! I'm a writer, trying to get into ROM hacking. (Because I don't already have enough hobbies competing for my spare time.) Been a shameless pokemon addict since I was 10 and my friend hid my own games from me for a week to get me to stop playing for two seconds. I should...

My apologies if this question was already asked but I somehow missed it when I searched... This is a hardware/software program rather than a question about hacking programs, hex, and all that jazz. I'm working from a laptop, and it's also my computer for school. Are the tools, programs...

I like the new boy's design a bit better than ol' Hilbert's, but the girl... what is she wearing?? I mean, it's cute, but it's so impractical. Gamefreak adds more ice to Unova...and then decide that the girl needs a short skirt? (Slightly better than Dawn, I guess. At least she has tights.) I...
