I think you should have Fakémon is if you have the following:
A good spriter to make them Orginal Pokémon in your hack to Unique Fakémon ( make them have a purpose for the hack) And Probally New evoultions and Prevolves |
If you want Fakemon, put them in.
My thread isn't the authority on what to do and not to do in a ROMHack. If you have good concepts and decent sprites, people won't care. The majority of the complaints were about poorly sprited/designed Fakemon anyway. If you release your hack and find that a majority of the people who played it didn't like X-Fakemon, redesign it. Go for it, it's your hack. |
It is your hack do what you want. If you think it is a good idea then do it.

In my opinion, full fakemon hacks are cool but if i was to try one i would not be able to finish with needing patience ideas etc. i would just stick with evo's and stuff like that
|
I pesonally like well designed Fakemon, I plan to use them in my hack. But I agree with some of the posts above, if you want to do it then do, who cares what everyone else thinks. But that si just my opinion

Steal Pokemon from Cap from Smogon XD

Fakemon work if they are done right, but only then. Pokemon Quartz however, works even though the Fakemon are crap. The point is, they are original, and contribute to the game's humorous nature. So, it all depends on the experience you want to give to the player.

The main problem is having to make the sprites and only having a tiny bit of room to do so in. this is to make it fit the box in the sprite editor.
I recently added Zorua, Zoroark, and a Zoroark evolution. Then I added an Electric-Flying Pokemon that has at least two evolutions. The backsprites were especially tiring to work on, then I had to work them into the list of pokemon in the game. Putting it into the sprite editor also doesn't always work, so you have to change your picture a few time. I don't like how my final Zorua evolution worked out to look like, but the basic idea was there. Fortunately, I was able to use a re-paletted Arcanine backsprite. here is some of my work.... I don't know if there is a type of SpriteEditing help thread. That would be a good idea though. |
TheChroniclesofLance, I can offer you some tips if you'd like. :)
I agree with most here... I look forward to seeing fakemon, but I am a bit disappointed if they are really badly drawn, or don't work properly, or their stats and move sets are simply borrowed from other pokemon. |
For me, It's because the fakemon either have bad concepts, (like quartz) or they are all badly sprited. If you can get one of the rare few hacks that has well sprited pokemon with good concepts (by that I don't mean digimon and stuff I mean 1st and 2nd gen pokemon. I don't even like that 3rd and 4th gens that much.), you will have one of the best hacks. assuming of course that you still have nice maps, scripts, plots, and other graphics that is.

And myself, i think a hack would be awesome with all the pokemon being fakemon, as long as they are sprited well. If anything it would be cool to add evolutions or pre-evolves to pokemon that never had an evolutionary form. If any fakemon hacks are done though, i think that they should have new maps. All in my opinion :) |

I also created (as the starters!) prevolutions for three legendary bird pokemon Artitucan-->Articuno Ampidgey-->Zapdos Moltucan-->Moltres all evolve at lvl. 30 or so ( replaced the mudkips (ugh.) to put them in) pictures below... http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab110/nwkeys01/starterflightschool-1.png?t=1274376962 |
I think it depends on how good they're sprited, or else I would go with the normal Pokemon. <<

I generally don't like the idea of fakemon, to be honest. In my opinion, using the original Pokemon provided by the game is enough to make a good hack. But there are some people who think that fakemon are great. I agree with this too, a few fakemon wouldn't hurt. But overall, it depends on the hacker. If they make some lovely fakemon, I would love to play it. Take Baro for example..
|
I think the answer is in Pokemon Quartz itself. Everyone bashes it for having poor sprites, yet it's extremely popular. As long as you actually finish the hack it doesn't matter. People may bash the sprites but your hack will still be played.
