The Nintendo 64's Pokémon Stadium series had a very unique take on the Pokémon's cries that made them sound a lot more distinct, and even somewhat real.
Sadly, those sounds never made it past Stadium 2, as Colosseum went back to the old 8-bit sound bits of the Game Boy, and after that, the main series took a different direction remastering those sounds.
I, like many, really miss those sounds and wished they'd at least stuck around for the 3d battle sims... Which is why I decided to take matters into my own hands !
With this romhack of Pokémon Colosseum (USA), I replaced every single "cries" sound effects, for every Pokémon from Gen 1 and Gen 2, with there counterparts from the N64 Pokémon Stadium series !
Watch this little trailer to see the result ! (Credits below)
CREDITS for the tools I used :
- Nintenlord's USP patcher, of course, to make everything into a patch.
- StarsMmd's Pokémon XD and Colosseum tool pack, to extract and reimport files from Colosseum's rom
- Nitso's musyx-extract, to unpack samp packages into individual DSP sound files and repackage them
- AxioDL's amuse build, which gave me the most reliable way to convert workable WAV files into
compressed DSP files for packing.
Download links for these tools can all be found on the NGC/Wii Pokemon Games ROM hacking Discord server !
