The Ultimate Turnoff - What You Don't Want to See in a Hack

Status
Not open for further replies.
This for me is a super turnoff. I go into a thread that has 20 pictures in it of the new "hack" being released. Their is no beta for over a year and oh look..... the original person of the thread decided that he wants to quit the hack. What was the point of getting everyone excited. Seriously if your going to make it to the hack showcase don't be a lazy jerk about it.
 
i hate it when people change a town and then when your playing it, characters walk through the buildings. it looks really shotty.
 
i dont want to see fakemon (Mewthree, Pikablu, etc.), going too far from Nintendo's standards, and minor edits.

You are going a bit over the line at the end. Some people sincerely just lose the motivation for their hacks after such a long time. You can't blame them at all, you don't even understand anything from their perspective.
 
I never want to see another G/C/S remake, My personal opinion is there will never be a remake like SG, and alot of people want to remake it G/S/C, and have there hack as popular as SG...

I agree with that, but not fully. Mewthree, Porygon 3 and a half, Lameking and stuff...that utter crap. But I don't agree if it's Pokemon you made up yourself totally - for example based off a hawk, a snail, or a wildcat, even a wildebeest. I don't mind that, and TBH I'm making a hack full of Fakemon like that.

What I really don't wanna see is the copying of other people's stories and maps. Thats's just plain sad. Better to make a crap story and glitchy map, and then improve it, rather than steal.

Yeah, you're pretty much right. It would get boring..But if they added more features and exciting stuff it would be exciting. And you're also making a remake aren't you?

I would have to agree with that. sometimes that does happen, where it looks good and then they scrap the idea.

And as for first time hackers, i am a first time hacker, give the guys the experience they need. we were all first time hackers, so there is no need to say that first time hackers dont deserve to hack or give them lip. Once you experience something, you learn from it, and become better at it. give everyone a chance.
 
biggest turn off for me (like other ppl have already suggested) is unoriginal story. (A great story has the power to suck me, even if other aspects of the hack are sub-par) Also I'm not too fond of bland, boring maps. Glitches are ok with me, as long as they aren't too annoying or game-breaking.
 
What really pisses me off is a hack that only uses TOOLS!!
I can't really say that people need to hex edit everything,but I hate the amount of new tools coming in.
Well,for GB\GBC hacks,I really don't care,they do need to popularise
But for GBA,there is a BIG amount of tools.
Come on,no more tools please!!!!!!!
There are so many tools now that anyone can do anything
Now all they need to care about is the GRAPHICS!!!
Come on now,all we need is a trainer editor,graphics editor,pallette editor,sprite editor,mapper,and scripter.
Now there are tools to make a Shiny Routine,Title Screen Cry,AUTOMATIC SCRIPTER GRRR,Some Rom Bases.
An example of a hack with only tool uses is RRROL ~RR

I don't like that kind of personality, people who think only they make the best hack/s, but some of them actually are good/excellent at making hacks. Some though are saying they're better than they are.

And I agree with the large amount of 3rd gen tools thing, a little bit, maybe 3rd gen hackers could do with organizing all their tools and documents in a beginner-advanced fashion, and not uneccessarily make things that acheive the same thing.
To make sure beginning hackers don't get into bad habits or just get confused and give up.

Maybe some of them who don't use a hex editor should give it a try too, as it allows more control (which is why it's the classic rom hacking tool).

Same here! x.x I like to see hacks that try to break away from "OMG! team rocket/magma/aqua/galaxy/other are trying to do _____ using (legendarypokemon)'s power D<"

It gets old, even in the original nintendo games. Or if you do have a team make a twist, like your rival joins the team or you have to go undercover and pose as grunt to foil their plans. Something different, y'know?

Yeah I agree with the part about thinking they're the best
"ZOMFG Im da bestest haxor eva."

Bad... Although I don't agree with the hex editing part...
I fail at it...
 
i wont play a game if it has fakemon init. it just doesnt seem right to me. i also hate spelling mistakes.
and i dont like it when authors abandon their projects after so much anticipation
 
I love fakemon the most, if a hack has only original pokemon, there is no element of surprise what it's going to evolve, but I hate it if fakemon only has different sprite, but same stats/moveset and everything.
 
If I may ask a question....

Does "Fakemon" refer to the use of playoffs of Nintendo Pokèmon (Mewthree, Pikablu) or does it refer to made-up Pokèmon (like those that I spend several hours designing)?

'Cause I'll probably be mad if no one likes my made-up ones...
 
Fakemon refers to any Pokémon not made by Gamefreak. But don't worry, a lot of people do like new Pokémon.
You won't see those people posting about it here, because why would they post it in a thread titled "What you don't want to see in a hack"?
