Hello, i'd like to ask you all why isnt there GSC games, gold silver and crystal who don't have more than the 151/251 mark? The reason i'm asking this is because we have rom hacks of 3rd gen games such as hyper emerald Z and fire sun who have over 800 pokemon in their database but those are 3rd gen template games, why don't we have one for the second generation? Is it because there's no one bothered to make sprites? or is it because there's no program to do it?
I remember sanquii randomizer they did something neat for pokemon Red they had increased from 151 to 251 and they added all 721 pokemons but they couldnt all appear at the same time, it randomized which pokemons out of those 721 would appear and only 251 were there.
Take it as sort of like how sword and shield will be like, let's guess that there will be 905 total pokemons by the end of gen 8 but only 450 will be elligible to catch, it was somewhat similar how sanquii red randomizer worked.
What i want is to know if there's a possibility for a GSC game to have all 809 and if there's any current project which is working on expanding the total number of elligible new sprites and new pokemon one can add to GSC.
( I am well aware there are GSC roms with "new pokemon" but they replace the old ones that's not what i want. )
Sorry if I come of as petty, I don't have knowledge on how to rom hack, I just wanted to make a simple yet technical question :D i'd love to know if there's limitations to the GSC engines to hold more than 253 "max" count on pokedex.
