I'm looking for quirky and fun, completed ROM hacks to download and play while I work on my own projects. Here are some ideas: Play as a member of Team Rocket--not another evil team because I just don't really care what happens with the other evil teams; Team Rocket, on the other hand, has a...

Author's Note: It looks like this story was a little too long to be a one-shot, so it's now a multi-chapter fic. As always, I'm open to suggestions on this story. Thanks for the reviews. Disclaimer: Pokemon belongs to its respective companies. Even though Team Rocket was trouble, Ash had...

Thanks, may I request a link to it.

I've been toying with the idea of having the player enter a dream sequence where s/he can catch all of the legendary event Pokemon--Mew, Celebi, Deoxes, etc as well as maybe glitch Pokemon like Missingno. The problem, though, is I don't want these Pokemon to transfer to the normal PC. I only...

This is how I might try to go about it. Someone else may have a better strategy, though. Step 1: Go to the animation file, look for the "bait" animation in the Safari Zone, make a copy, and slightly alter the graphic for "bait" in the Safari Zone to "meat." Step 2: Replace the Poke Ball...

I'm interested in learning how to program games. There's a ton of resources on the Internet, I know, and there are also engines that allow you not know much about programming, like RXPGXP, but I'm still interested. Partially because I want to be able to more easily write and maybe share custom...

Someone can probably tell you a lot more than I can, but I think the one with the old man is done via animations, like in the intro. I'm not sure, though. Someone else might be able to give you more information than me. If I'm not thinking about the right thing, maybe you're talking about when...

Oh...okay? Well, I guess that's one way to look at it. No, I wanted to develop fan games for probably the same reason everyone else here does, but I also feel like Nintendo should reap some consequences of their actions against their fans... but if no one else feels the same, then...okay, I...

My opinion? It's just not worth it to work on a game for years if it's just going to be considered "illegal." I want to continue to learn Ruby programming, and Pokemon isn't the be all end all.

If we really wanted to go about it a round about way, could we just post our active RPGXP projects so that only people who have the program installed can view them? Forgive me for being paranoid, but... I don't think I want to mess with it anymore at all. It was nice to play around with making...

Thanks. I guess I'll look there. It was in the user agreement that we weren't to use it to develop commercial works because maybe original source code was involved or something? I'm not really sure. Sheesh, at this point, I think it would be great if they re-worked some of the codes so that...

This might be a little off-topic, but since the creator of Pokemon Essentials requested it not be used to develop commercial works, does anyone know where I can find other good scripts and demos for RPG Maker XP?

If anyone from Nintendo is reading this, you aren't doing what makes sense for the fans. We are the consumers who are supposed to enjoy your products. A lot of us grew up playing Nintendo games, and you could handle this whole issue a lot better than you have. By banning and shutting down fan...

Hmm...well, if they are going to treat their fans like that, why don't we just make our own indie fan games that are "in the spirit of" Pokemon--turn-based fighting and quest RPG, for example, but are our own works and totally original as far as copyright is concerned? We could even make a few...

Yes, I was considering trying to write a GBA hack from scratch, but, since I'm a beginner, I had no idea where to really start, so I gave in to downloading Pokemon Essentials. It's not too bad; it has almost all of the mechanics of the original GBA games, but I'm having trouble finding an active...
