You know, judging by your post-count (only this one post)...I'm going to have to write this off as nothing more than a troll post. That said, what I have seen in screenshots would suggest a fair level of skill in the sprites for Quarts. How well they match the Pokemon style is another matter...

Hack name: Pokemon Orichalcum Hack of: (Dependent on coding needs. Most likely FireRed.) Additional information about the hack: Trying for a very different feel. New pokemon, lots of major and minor changes, heavily puzzle based. Finished percentage: Not Started. Your hacking skills: Best at...

Wow...now I'll just have to learn how to twist the code until it begs for mercy and get some poor spriter to suffer my tyranny. Then at long last I can follow my dream. Portable OoT, here I come!

I'll second that. As for me, I'm perfectly willing to play a hack with R/B sprites, if the rest of it is done well. I think this applies to a lot of people as well. Look at commercial games. The biggest hits aren't always the graphical blockbusters, or even the games laden with "innovative...

^THIS^ Scripting is not gameplay. You can script everything perfectly, and still have the gameplay be crap. What's important is that you have a good plan for your game, an interesting storyline, good pacing, etc... How you implement things isn't nearly as important as what you implement. Code...

Haven't you heard the song? It's all been done before. I would say that doing it in a more interesting way than before is more the point.

Well, since my thread seems to not be getting approval from the moderators, I'll suggest a feature I was planning for my own hack (which I may not be doing). To me, it is a bit boring how you always get the same choice of starters. I know, the idea is to make sure that the Rival has an...

Well, simple logic dictates that something must be declaring the number of TM/HMs. They seem to be stored in the same list, judging by the bleed over. Even so, the combined number doesn't add up to the maximum number of variables (forgive me for stating the obvious, I'm building a foundation for...

If I were you, I would rethink the name "Burstretch". By adding a hyphen to this, you get Burst-retch...and as you might guess, it calls to mind images of projectile vomiting. Personally, I would try to pick different base words. For one thing, there really isn't much difference between an...

First of all, people need to stop splitting hairs over what is or is not "hacking". It's pretty obvious from the OP's own post that they meant for this to apply to all aspects of the process. You are making a ROM hack, thus whatever you do to make it, is a part of the "hacking" process, yes...

Personally, I'm a big fan of fakemon. The issue is quality, as others have said. I think that if it looks good, has a reasonable name, and it's balanced, then people will forget their prejudice. What surprises me is that most hacks I've seen that include fakemon will not show screenshots or even...

I cannot find that file either. I prefer not to play the game with missing components.

Heheheh...The time capsule. *sigh* I was going to suggest that approach myself, but I was a wee bit tired at the time. I suppose it would work, though it's important then that you keep the location of data for moves and pokemon that will be tradeable the same to avoid conflicts. I'm sure you...

I hate to be discouraging, but you'll need to rethink one of your features. Specifically, the "Trade with other 3rd Gen Games!" feature. Now, I'm not saying it's impossible, but you'll have compatibility issues. Especially if you add new pokemon. These pokemon won't exist in the games you're...

All right...you asked for suggestions, so I've got some. Be warned, this is something specific. I don't know if it will have relevance to anyone else's projects, though I believe so. First of all, some explaining is in order. I've been looking for ways to make the game more like the show. In...
