I joined to get help with creating a custom Pokémon world - I don't even have plans to actually make a ROM hack :)) I'm just going to make the Pokédex, the story, the setting and the sprites.

If someone is able to point me to a thread which somehow finds a solution to making custom dual type starters completely balanced (As in, they are dual types and the Grass starter has a chance against the Fire starter due to typing) I'd really appreciate it.

I make a lot of worldbuilding in my spare time, and I happen to like Pokémon so this is why I'm here.

Best regards, JoaV.

Hmm. Do you plan on just editing the ROM to suit your vision of the custom Pokémon world? Because that sounds a lot like ROM hacking to me; except that you don't release it to the public. XD; That being said, the Emulation forum, specifically the Toolbox section in it has a lot of stuff that you can check out if you need help editing the base ROM itself. If by any chance I'm actually way off in this belief and you're actually talking about Game Development with programs such as Game Maker, then I linked that forum there, too. Just in case.

As for the perfectly balanced issue, I think this thread will be a good place to look at. I'm still not sure how the type balance can be solved without mixing or just resorting to the Dark/Psychic/Fighting trio as secondary types (a disadvantage of which is the Psychic immunity of Dark-types), but yeah, I hope you can find the solution from that thread. Oh and the thread is dead so don't bother replying there, else you might risk a thread revival. Haha.

That being said, these types of threads best belong to the PokéCommunity Questions & Feedback subforum, specifically the Quick Questions & Answers thread. Still, you seem to sincerely want to be welcomed to this community judging from your thread title. So without further ado, I'll go on ahead and say the obligatory welcome to our forum, JoaV! :p I hope you do stick with us in more ways than for your current worldbuilding endeavors. Because foruming is fun. Here at PC, especially. (b'')b

Maybe you can expand on that intro! I mean you seem like an interesting person because you like making custom games of your own. That takes a lot of imagination and thinking, and really, those kinds of people who got those in spades are definitely special. :o So yeah, what are your interests? You think you could tell us more about yourself? :D We can wait, or at least if you're not too open with stuff like that then that's okay, too.

I think I'm starting to run out of things to say, though. This post has been a long one in making, haha. So yeah, see you around! And I hope my welcome was good enough. ^^; If you need any help at all, don't hesitate to ask a staff member of the section related to your query. Although I think that if you follow the rules and read the FAQ, most of those common questions will be answered for you. :3

I actually don't plan to actually make the game, but I'm doing my own Pokédex in OpenOffice calc with worldbuilding documents in OpenOffice writer where I type things about the world - and I know a few spriters who I'll have make the sprites for the Pokémon. An actual game, however, that will most probably not happen. Think of it as a "What if"-manual for a game that never happened.

In my spare time, I write poetry and make music and Pokémon just happens to be one of my guilty pleasures. :)

I found a pretty good solution to the balanced starter trio, though; it's not perfect, but it's the closest I can make.

Grass/Psychic - Fire/Fighting - Water/Ice. :) I think the Grass thing is going to be a totem pole tree, the firemon a lion and the water pokemon an orca. :)
