Can we get a new variety of hacks, please?
I see tons of Johto remakes.
Tons of just simple recolors. Tons of "I MAKE THIS" then it dies and and is never heard from again. I see tons and tons of well, poo. Of course we get several diamonds in the rough that are just amazing. But come on people, get original, like that Mechamon hack, and Azure Horizons, my hack, and the other great ones. WORK ON SOMETHING GREAT, YO. MAKE YOURSELF PROUD. STOP PRODUCING POO. :) |

No but really hacks these days are like you've said "are poo" People need to put lots of time and effort into their hacks and settle for nothing less. Learn how to script or map or even how to sprite. I promise you if you practice long enough and hard enough you will become much better then you were before. (b'')b |
I see tons of Johto remakes.- yes an it's over used. Even Some of the great hackers(and your friend) Make Johto hacks.
Tons of just simple recolors.- I don't even waist my time with those hacks. Tons of "I MAKE THIS" then it dies and and is never heard from again.-that's usaly the scarpbox that's why I never go there anymore, it's depressing. I see tons and tons of well, poo. Of course we get several diamonds in the rough that are just amazing.- I argue the ability to get into the progressive hack section is way to easy. My hack Got in the progressive hack section with only a weeks worth of work. But come on people, get original, like that Mechamon hack, and Azure Horizons, my hack, and the other great ones. ( why, aren't you a little prideful XD) WORK ON SOMETHING GREAT, YO. MAKE YOURSELF PROUD. STOP PRODUCING POO. :)- I will take that into consideration, I guess. :P (but why so silly if you really want people to change you should act more serious or they will think it was a joke. |

No, they won't in all 6 years i've been doing this they haven't. But the mods can wipe them off the board until they do.
HINT HINT. |
That would be very sexy to start off with.

I have a great idea for a hack, but im having a lot of trouble with the HEX codes etc...
i wanted the hole region to be like the great marsh, and it would have had bridges running over the mud... the starters are croagunk, stunky and skorupi. |
I have no clue how you think I was joking, I use "sexy" instead of "great" everywhere I go.

kk, but as you said before there are diamonds out there... and it is up to those gamers out there to find those diamonds just as it is to us hackers who produce those diamonds...as you know diamonds take millions of years to be produced :)
but personally i think my hack will become a diamond one day :) well I hope it will :) Alot of hack ideas have the potential to succeed but they all fail cause of the lack in skill the hackers possess. We must help those who are less experienced then ourselves, nnot just ignore they're repeated PMs begging for help or just say "I don't have time", when half the time ur just sitting there... well you do carry a point in saying alot of hacks these days are crap, but thats olny cause we get lazy and make'em crap. If everyhacker went out there and took the time to learn and practise instead of saying I NEED HELP!!!, then hacks and hackers will be diamonds :) |
Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap.
You can't stop the untalented from creating crap. The best you can do is try to teach them (gently) why their creations are crap, or create non-crap yourself. Both are difficult tasks. |

------------ What I want to see in a hack is a complete deviation from the standard Pokemon game. I don't understand why people would choose to labour so hard, for such a long time, and produce something that's a variation of Ruby, or Fire Red, or Silver. The maps are different, the evil team has a different name and goal, maybe the Pokemon are changed, but it's still the exact same formula. You run through the region, levelling your Pokes, battling gym leaders, rivals, and evil dudes, and best the Elite Four. There's a lot of mindless clicking involved. Only self-imposed restrictions can make it challenging. But maybe that's just me. After all, Diamond and Pearl use that formula, and they seem pretty popular. :| Quote:

Mostly of the hackers that posts in the scrapbox are untalented at hacking. They just post an say "I mehk dis, if u stil my aydiya i will repurt u." The scrapbox needs stricter moderation, or it should be removed.
|
Yeah, A lot of hacks in the scrapbox are crap...
But you can't stop the noobs... The scrapbox needs better moderation, say each hack in there needs atleast one screenie... |

anyways i game up on that and im making a new rom hack as we speak. im devamping every pokemon :) im about 5% done |
No. Simply no. What makes you post this? I started in the Scrapbox. I tried, 2 times. Wouldn't work. I tried the third time. Now I did it. I made it to the Progressing Hacks (Actually before there was no Progressing Hacks, just the Scrapbox and the Hacks Showcase.). I agree with you that there are just some idiotic people. But not all of them. Say, how many of you already finished your hack? Did you ever release an alpha, or a beta? You can't just do that. What I'm trying to say is, people need to start somewhere. If there's no Scrapbox, even higher standards, you'll decrease the popoularity of the ROM Hacking section.
Please. You're making it harder for everybody. |
The idea of getting rid of the scrapbox is... Absurd, to say the least. yes, there are a load of crap hacks, and bad hackers, but some really do shine. All these hackers need is patience, motivation, and support, not endless amount of complaints. This demotivates, and really doesn't help anything. if we gave constructive criticism more often, and stopped people give false hope to hacks that need vast improvement, then less of these worse hacks will arrive.
Actually, here's an idea to get rid of bad hacking - ban hacking. True you get no hacks at all, but no news is good news. THAT is basically what you are doing with the Scrapbox being... Scrapped. It is a place for beginnings, and those improvements you learn there pay off in the long run most of the time. Don't like the bad hacks that are there, don't go there, focus on the other areas. |

Threads for each specific hack in a scrapbox part is easier to me, as it is easier to search, easier to post updates, and criticism. Also, the threads allow it to be easily moved when required. Posting ideas in threads helps hackers, EVERY hack starts somewhere, and begins with many problems, mostly a newby owner. You used to be a newb, you overcame it. Stop complaining about something that will never ever change, as it is the law of nature. People start new, produce ideas, then they work on them, and improve them, and become better, slowly, but surely. All they need is time, motivation, and encouragement, similar to what you had when you started at a guess, and similar as the rest of you. I will probably not even change your opinions, but at least understand that even the newbiest of hackers can become something great if motivated, given time, and forced to improve. |
