Original Pokemon or Made Up?
I've noticed with these hacked games that most of them have their own made up Pokemon while only some have the original Pokemon.
So, my question is this. Do you prefer the original Pokemon or the made up ones when it comes to hacked games? Personally I would rather use the original Pokemon with a different, possibly better, storyline than the other games. |
Yeah me too but I don't hack.
|
This thread belongs in ROM Hacking, so I'll move it there.
|
There should be more options on that Poll
e.g. 'If the Fakemon are good quality' , 'i like a combination of both' , ' i dont mind as long as it works with the storyline' etc i dont mind to be honest if it works well with the story i like it when fakemon, new maps, and a new story are used together, it makes the hack look like more effort has been taken tbh |
I like fake pokemon because it has more effort into it and because it is interesting finding out what it is supposed to be.
However, if most of the fakemon look terribly made, i probably won't like it. |
I prefer the original (and if I had the choice the orignal 150) but if the fakemon are well designed, (like pokeman battle fire) then I defiently enjoy playing that kind of hack too.
|
I agree with everyone. It depends on the spriting skills. In the end, I'll always support the "new Pokemon" (I'm against the term Fakemon) idea, because it's always cool to make new strategies once again. But, when the pokes are not appealing, it makes everything harder.
|
I agree with Zel!
So I vote for Original Pokemon |
Original POKéMON means that you don't hack the MAIN element of the game.
[/thread] |
In some hacks, I like Fakemon (Teh Baro's Marble, DJG's RD RR)
But some Fakemon that aren't designed well, for example Chaos Black, I don't like it. But most of all, I'd like to have a Pokedex of Fakemon so I know what type they are. I also don't like inserting Fakemon with bad quality (not changing the palletes) All in one: I like good Fakemon, the bad I can't see |
well, I hate bad fakemons (chaos black...?), but if they are of high quality it's really interesting and looks much cooler and is much better than the older ones, because it's just something new.
I mean, if you encounter a pikachu..u r not really excited anymore, right? ^^'' But if u look at the fakemons of, for example, Pokemon Battle fire, then u see what I mean ;) That's a main reason why I like this hack, many new and good-made pokemon. |

I prefer originality, and its a shame that not there aren't more hacks that have them.
|
Original pokemon will always remain the best.
I actually prefer originality than fake-mon. For some reason, I just don't like fake-mon. But some hacks have great fake-mon such as Baro's Marble and DJG's Rescue Rangers. |
It depends, (I agree to Zel) in the spriter skills.
As Concorde, Anna Kymoyama, Criptexa or Neos. I admire too much. Are betters of the spriters of Nintendo/Gamefreak Corporation, in my opinion. Conclusion? I prefer the FakeMon Hacks, if has good Sprites. Sorry Baro, i prefer the Ruby than Quartz. Hehe, but i prefer Battle Fire, than Ruby ^^ |
I like the original 493 (I'm referring to Diamond and Pearl) and some fakes from Battle Fire and Ruby Destiny: Rescue Rangers, but I don't like fakes from Chaos Black and Topaz (the one made by bazzaroony). [But if fakes are overused, the HSOWA acronym does not exist in that hack]

The results of the poll impress me.
|
I like pre-evos and Legends, and anything to replace Ninty's mistakes of Hoenn!
|
My hack will feature Fakemon, and a hnful of Pre-evolutions that evolve into fakemon, such as, dunsparce, bagon, shellgon, salamence, shuckle, pinsir, heracross, etc.
|
I love to see the ideas people come up with for made-up pokemon so I prefer those.
|
i usually like fakemon in it, as long as the sprites are good. i find it more interesting catching these new ones, and finding out what abilities and attacks they got.
|
I'm all for using custom Pokémon, as long as they have good designs. I'm quite picky about that sort of thing - I personally dislike the Pokémon in Marble (sorry Baro!), though a lot of people think they're good...
But, if you can get up to Battle Fire's quality, or even better, Acanthite's (I know it's not a hack), then go for it! |
The original pokemon are my favorites, however there are some good fakemon.
|
Orginal Pokemon. If I was hacking a Pokemon game then I should use different Pokemon trainer sprites than Pokemon.
|
dont like fakes
i like hoenn region and below |
Original Pokemon are my favorite because I think don't think fakemon have much connection to the original anime world.
I will never use fakemon in my hack, but I still respect people who do, it is a lot of hard work to make a fakemon I think. |
When I want to play a pokemon game I want to be able to have the original pokemon. So my thats where my preference goes out to. Also fakemon more often than not simply look ugly. But if you're able to make goodlooking fakemon, by all means add some (let's say 5-10, or so...) to the original set. It shows effort and originality in my opinion.
|
the made up ones never seem to cut it with me id rather see a Pokemon game with actual Pokemon in it not fake ones it often spoils a good hack
|
I think that if the Fakemon has a decent design, and is balanced with the gameplay, its an awesome addition to any hacked game.
|
Actually, fake pokemon , i like the originals but a new region for example needs some new legendaries, etc...
Let's take Reign of Legends as an example: The story line is based on the legendary angeallen. I'm actually trying to make a fake of mew called SHADE MEW . Also an evolution of Blastoise caled PR.SQUIRTLE, somethings like that |
Original Pokemon!
*clap clap* |
1. I HATE FAKEMON!
2. How about changing this into a poll? |
Quote:
1. Even if they looked good? 2. Because its already a poll. and you don't have to say it in all capitals to show your hatred for them. its much more boring seeing a bulbasaur because you know everything about it already. |
I know but, its so... so... weird... like yugioh monsters lost in a pokemon world.
|
I rather original Pokémon because they look better, but then again, Fakemon are OK.

I like SCRATCH fakemon more, simply because the original get boring... it's nice to 'discover' new pokemon I think. I hope mine are good enough.
@Wichu, yours are very nice indeed. Fit in really good. |
Original.
I don't mind Fakémon, if they look good, and are interesting (not wow! Look at that; it's Bulbasaur with a different name and picture...) |
i hate fakemon, some people try to create fakemon but they dont look like pokemon becuz of their different styles from the original
|
I like Fake pokemon cause it makes it more original...
...and more.. Hack like, if you know what I mean, which, its a good thing! |
If they're good sprites I like Custom Pokemon, it shows a sense of creativity.
|
the problem with fake pokemon is that either 1) They can't be fully realized due to limitations in skill/time, or 2) If they are fully realized, they tend to be really awful self-servicing "cool" overpowered pokemon.
Small-scale pixel art is probably the easiest medium of digital art. I've been doing it for almost a decade now, and I've got to say: The first thing you need to do before adding Pokemon is to STUDY THE PIXEL STRUCTURE OF CURRENT SPRITES. Usually the fakemons have ugly black outlines, glaring color schemes, and poorly executed "shading". I may be over-critical of fan-work, but I just think that you need to find a proper balance of self-motivation and professionalism in your hack. The former because you need to have fun and be interested in doing it, but the latter so you have a ****ing reason to put it on people's faces. |
original ones...
better we cud use new trainer sprites than new pokemon,, and above all ya i too like pokemon upto 150.. dragon type wasmy fav... and i hate the idea of making steel type so much resistive....merely to overcome dragon type!!! and in newer generations they have screwed kanto trio.. articuno learning moves so late and that too so little,, blizzard on 73??? |
Original Pokemon, the fakemon show alot of effort but they are usually ugly looking for a pokemon game imo. There are a few hacks where i actually like the fakemon.
|
Well, I prefer real Pokemon, because it stays more "true to the original", and not the hacker turning the game into their own (even if it is, technically, their own...).
|
I prefer Original pokemon as they are made by proffesionals and are almost always going too look much better than Fake pokemon. Most people seem to lack in enthusiasm when making Fake pokemon and sort of make all the pokemon pretty similar but with the odd colour change or shape change... It just gets a bit repetative and are all Black lines on the outside with no AA whatsoever :S But I suppose if there were some really GOOD fake pokemon i wouldnt mind playing the game with them.
|
i prefer both hackemon,( i don't like fakemon), and pokemon.
I'm making a hack with pokemon from kanto, johto, hoenn, sinnoh, and some hackemon.(most) here's a sample:: Its called ::Femit:: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg257/FriendsRoxYourSox/Pokemon%20Zircon/Femit2.jpg BTW, Hackemon sounds cooler than Fakemon |
I kinda agree to both sides of the arguement, as the only reason im tied to both sides is cuz the fakemon right now look really crappy. If someone could make authentic looking graphics, and an authentic stereotypical pokemon storyline (definetly not quartz), i would definetly play with fakemon out of a need for variety.
|
yeah original is better, not sure why.
perhaps because the ones who create them spend more time on their creations rather than mapping/storyline. |
I prefer games with fakemon, if they're decent quality.
|
The fakemon have to be of good quality
|
I personaly perfer real pokemon but if the made up pokemon is of really high quality it beats the real pokemon, just my opinion!
|
I like a balance of both, my Indoh region has mostly Fan Pokémon and a few originals.
Quote:
You do realise that the games came first, right? And you're right, it's not easy coming up with Fan Pokémon. |
It seems many of you only want real pokemon... I can't understand why though. If every other aspect of the game is changed, why not that as well?
I think bad quality fakemon may have spoiled your views on them as a whole, but fakemon can be done right, and when they are, the result it 10x better than a regular ROM hack. It's like a whole new generation! |
For the most part I prefer official Pokémon over user-made Pokémon.
|
It really depends like how many others have said, If the fakemon are good then I like it, if not scap the hack.
|
i think fakemon are much better (exept in pokemon chaos black and quartz)
i like fakemon so i put some in my new game who thinks the fakemon in my avatar is good |

Its also hard to make a pokedex full of good fakemons, I think its one of the hardest thing to do when you are making a hack, is to come up with the idea for one. Like this little guy, that i just made up! |
It's hard to make, that's very well said. But some people just don't appreciate them DX
|
I hate made up pokemon i have seen some made up pokemon that really look ugly (mostly all of them)
|
I like to have the originals with a bit of fakemon here and there (otherwise it's just a bunch of weird creatures in a pokemon game. Just go make your own game if you like creating mounds of unpokemonlike-creatures. Not having the originals is just like ordering a cheese pizza with extra sausage. You just ordered a sausage pizza but slapped on a different name. It's OK if there's a pokemon game with actual pokemon, but otherwise it's stupid. When I order my pizza, I'm not going to say "cheese with extra sausage" I'm going to say "sausage pizza please" {if you didn't notice, the cheese reprisents real pokemon and the sausage reprisents fakemon})If you have aboslutely no idea what I just said, then it doesn't matter. Just read the very last sentence of this post:
Keep the original pokemon, but mix it up with a few fakemon(you can't make lemonade with just water, now can you? Add some flavorful fakemon to make the pokemon game seem more fun). ~!~Miss Cow~!~ |
I prefer the Original Poke's because the quality is just much and much better, but some fakes are nice too but they always seem so un professional it's really weird maybe I just like originals more :P But if the fakes are of a good quality I can like it to..
|
I prefer fan created pokemon if possible if they are pokemon-like ,otherwise just original . For example ,for my developing Pokemon game ,I'm sticking to the art style of Sugimori in order to make the my new pokemon fit in to the game.
