u/Huge-Insect-7759

A rom hack that allows you to play fully in Hoenn, Kanto + Sevii Islands and soon Johto in 1 huge map and 1 grand storyline. Acts like the "ultimate Gameboy/Gen 1-3 remake combo" adventure

Some say with this update you don't need a specific version for starting in Kanto or Hoenn, this update removes it and you can start in whatever region for the same version

Kinda feels like Emerald Extended Cut that Mumph already posted. Idk what engine Emerald Extended cut uses but this uses the emerald expansion engine and aims to combine all 3 storylines "seamlessly and in any order" while I think Emerald Extended Cut just does the Hoenn Story but allows you to go to Johto, Kanto and Sevii islands. Don't take my word as gospel though

Edit: the game is TECHNICALLY complete in terms of the storylines (like starting Hoenn storyline or Kanto storyline) but I'm unsure if they finished the seamless connection parts and I already said and it's in their pages that Johto hasn't been finished yet

Title says it all basically. Wondering if all pokemon are viable or not. Playing vanilla and whatever normal difficulty is. Grabbing whatever pokemon I like and have used in other various generations (1-7 only) but unsure which ones to commit to

I have Metagross line as my starter and just looking for type coverage (so since I got Metagross as my steel and psychic, looking for a Mon that isn't steel or psychic)

Not looking for Mon suggestions, just wanna know if all Mon are basically good or if there's kind of a "meta" within the game. I wanna have fun, not worry about power creep

A new story and region hack set in the region of Eienn. Includes megas and other various gimmicks. Included a bit but not all of ever pokemon for each generation

Just what seems to be a small bug fix update and maybe a bit of extra content for this otherwise completed game/hack

I know RPG Maker 2000 (or whatever it's called) is playable on 3ds via the QR codes sub but a lot of fan games run on XP and I'm not really familiar with RPG Maker as a whole so I'm sorry. Just wondering if any of the fan games of pokemon and other stuff would be playable on 3ds unless it was like a demake in Gen 3 or 4 engine of pokemon or some other RPG game the system can handle that's decompiled

Vaguely title but here's my explanation. Lots of rom hacks of many types exist and my question is what features from those hacks make you search for it. What features makes you search for a certain type of rom hack. I'll give a few examples

There's difficulty hacks meant to raise the difficulty and provide a challenge to those who've played the mainline games or rom hacks for awhile. There's the simple Vanilla+ rom hacks that usually add all pokemon, some QoL features and maybe even a raised or lowered difficulty depending on if it's meant for first time players or not.

There's the "Gimmick" hacks which usually provide new or already existing gimmicks such Megas, Terrastilization, Dynamax/Gigantamax, Z Moves, fusion pokemon, fakemon, too many types etc. there's also the New Region hacks that provide a new region for you to explore with its own lore or act as an expanded area like land to the north of Johto so in the post game you can go to Johto and Kanto after you've finished your region.

There's also "Remake/Remaster" hacks like Quetzal, Kanto Eternal, Crossroads etc that are for the most part the same story but not too drastic to be a whole new story. Like in FRLG you're still "Red" and you still go through the region of Kanto to try and get all the badges but maybe something like mega evolutions are introduced or something with a legendary is involved. Not too drastic or different like a new region hack and the story doesn't change too much like going into the future or past but there's still changes and new things added to make things fun

Personally I love all of these except for ones that purely raise difficulty. Some of them also add QoL but I wanna at least have something cool and new or old added like megas or fusion or fake pokemon or even a new story. If it's just the same game but harder, not really for me. If there's at least something significant to gameplay or story, I'll check it out

Idk if this is a dumb question and idk if it's just cuz the screen on my New 3DS XL is smaller than my phone screen but I'm watching a video (Drb0sch) and it's max resolution is 480p mainly to go for that "old YouTube" vibe and when I compare the 480p video on my phone vs the 3ds, the 3ds looks a little bit blurry and worse. I'm using 4th tube btw

Is the video quality and the capabilities of the 3ds not actually matched to what the video is or does it scale it down to a bit worse? Like I notice when a video is 1080p being played on the 3ds vs naturally 480p, the 1080p looks slightly better but maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me

Seen people make videos of adding 3D Land levels into 3D World but is there a rom that does the reverse? Recreate levels the best they can in 3D Land?

With the switch 2 you could make the possibility that the switch 1 pairs with switch 2 since switch 2 is much more powerful and is a better home console than the switch 1 so switch 1 or life would be the handheld even though both (except for the lite) can be handheld or home console

However for the previous consoles and handhelds, what gets pairs with who? I mean you can't put the GBA and SNES together because of how many ports the GBA has of SNES games + it's a 32 bit console compared to the 16 bit SNES. The GBA is basically better than the SNES which shouldn't be the case since handheld is supposed to be a weaker but portable counterpart

Backtracking a bit I guess the GBA goes with GameCube, Gameboy color goes with N64 and Gameboy goes with SNES but then what does the NES have? Does it get the game and watch games? And do we count the virtual boy as a real console that gets a handheld to go with it? Do we consider the New 3DS and 3DS to be separate consoles like the Gameboy and Gameboy color? And what about GBA vs GBA SP? Those actually are probably the same but you get my point

Gameboy is kind of an NES in your pocket but the GBC is much better due to color and more advanced games which means the GBA is an SNES on the go with the DS and 3DS being pseudo N64 and Gamecubes on the go except not really since it's much more powerful than the GBA but can't fully play N64 or GameCube games, just 3D games that kinda resemble something that could be on the like Mario 64 DS or Zelda Ocarina of Time

I wanna say "no restrictions" here. As in, just about any game can be chosen but it's gotta be reasonable enough to actually port as it was originally intended or you're gonna have a situation where instead of a 3D game on it, you have a weird side scroller or 2D version of it instead. You can choose ones based off of homebrew ports and there's no limit to the amount of games you'd want ported

**My list:**

TF2: a version of TF2 with 3 modes. 1 is a campaign that mainly follows the comics. Infact since the 3DS ended support in 2020, we'd have the entire comic storyline adapted with the exception for the very last one which only released a year ago. This campaign would have either SFM or in game cutscenes of the mercs and you choose a class to play as during the story, getting bits and pieces of puzzle, shooter and other gameplay. Then there's the multiplayer with a few rules and game modes built in like casual, payload cart and capture the intelligence but you can still play them with a few bots. And then finally the MvM mode. This would probably be an N3DS exclusive or 3DS compatible with lower frames and maybe moving the 3DS to aim better like in Ocarina of Time 3D with its slingshot. Maybe the campaign has its own custom ending for the time or just ends the way the comic ends before the final one. Unsure

Mario 64 3DS: a 3DS remaster of the DS Remake of Mario 64, this time with a few new unlockable characters like waluigi, peach, maybe Bowser and a few oddballs like birdo or Bowser Jr. Included a few more mini games, more bosses and inclusion of a better camera with the C-Stick if using a New 3DS model but also full 360 movement with the circle pad and D-pad does... something. Maybe backport a few power ups from later games like the blue shell, propellor suit, frog/penguin suit, cloud power up etc

Mario Sunshine/Galaxy 3DS: if the Mario 64 3DS game was made, but continue to use and update that engine for remakes of these

Mortal Kombat 3DS: a fully 3D mortal combat game based on the MK9, X and 11 games. Custom non canon story, big enough character roster and would love to see crossovers of the characters we already got but would like to see Nintendo characters appear in mortal Kombat as a funny concept. Specifically the combat would be more so based on MKXL since it's my favorite but others work too. Smash bros exists alongside Tekken, Dead or Alice dimensions and street fighter 4 but I like mortal Kombat fatalities and different fighting style

BTD5/6: a full BTD5 port or early version of BTD6 would be nice. Especially a big improvement over the BTD and BTD4 ports since they were DSI Ware and ran off a separate thing for the system instead of what games usually run on for the system so rounds don't lag beyond round 50

Resident Evil 1-4: resident evil 1 was remade/ported for DS. 3DS is more powerful. Update the graphics and controls a bit and have 1-3 use the same engine and you got those figured out. Make it a triple pack or something maybe even include 0 as a downgrade version. Re4 could run off the same engine as mercenaries or Revelations. Areas would have to be sacrificed of course and may be New 3DS exclusive unlike 1-3

Doom 1+2 and Quake: a proper and well optimized version of Quake and Doom. Would love to see it as a collectors pack where you have the original 1+2 Doom, Quake game and all the episodes. Maybe even a custom level for each for fun

Half Life 1+2: Xash 3DS exists. I'll leave it at that

Metroid Prime 3DS: unsure how hard it would be to Demake this but just the first game would be nice, even better if it's the trilogy

Left 4 Dead 1+2: Left 4 Dead Ultimate with all maps/story, a full in order campaign marathon you can save and shit anytime and then a Freeplay mode where you can play s any character regardless of the story. There's also online and local multiplayer

Just to get things out of the way, the only thing I really have access to for playing older stuff like this is my modded New 3DS and my phone. I have a computer but it's really bad at playing games so not worth it

I downloaded the original GB and even a hack that gives it actual color (or maybe it's a GBC remake idk) as well as the 3DS remake but both feel very weird and I just came from Zero Mission which was awesome. I really like the controls and fluidity of Zero Mission as well as using a D-pad but the 3DS version doesn't allow that. I don't see a way to download the popular AM2R on my 3ds and idk if I can play it on my phone but got any suggestions between the 2 official versions or a rom hack that remakes 2 in the engine of zero mission?

I have a 3DS I bought off of Amazon cuz my childhood 2DS is having issues. I then bought a New 3DS XL which is the best model of the 3DS family but now I no longer need my childhood 2DS or the 3DS I bought off of Amazon. 3DS looks to be in near perfect condition as there's no scratches and it all functions properly while the 2DS has some scratches and the sleep slider is breaking or just has gunk in it and they why the system sometimes flips between awake and sleep mode during play

I got the 3DS off of Amazon for like 220$ so I'm looking to at least get 200 and a 2DS nowadays sells for about 100. Trying to get enough money from this trade to buy a cheap PSVita online and the memory card for it

I don't play smash that much compared to other fighting games like mortal combat and street fighter but I do play smash 4 on my 3ds every once in awhile. Seen a lot of people play smash ultimate and given the title, the amount of crossovers and etc, should smash ultimate be the final smash game that only gets updates and never a sequel?

I ask for mainly 2 reasons. 1 is the modding potential, the other is due to how games are nowadays.

The modding potential for smash ultimate I feel would be insane once Nintendo cuts off support for the switch and maybe switch 2 line of systems like how support for the DS, 3DS, Wii, WiiU and GameCube is done but thrives through modding as well as rom hacks for even older systems. I hear brawl and melee have been basically building up and back porting their own version of smash ultimate in their own systems but if Nintendo kept support smash ultimate then there's almost no way to really get that modding capabilities and support to the scale the other consoles have it at for not only smash but other games

However with how games are, graphically we are at the peak. Graphics only get slightly better over time now even then, smash doesn't need graphics as well as it's on a system that's got some very good power behind it with the switch alone and eventually the switch 2. Eventually the roaster for smash would be too big and the licensing would be hard to keep for certain characters once you start doing porting or remastering it to new consoles

Sorry if I sound dumb, just speculating and like I said, I'm not very into smash like I am into other fighting games like mortal Kombat. I just find smash to be fun and cool for us crossovers

I've seen a lot of rom hacks that make a new story/region or "remake"/remaster existing regions but with new mechanics and such but I don't see (or just don't know) a lot of fan sequels. I have a few I know of and I'll share them but do y'all know any behind that? No I don't mean sequels to existing rom hacks, I mean rom hacks that act as details to existing pokemon games

Pisces: haven't played yet but apparently a sequel to emerald

The Red and Blue Sequel: a sequel that takes place 5 years after Red/Blue but I think it still follows blue and red. Haven't tried it yet

Mythic Silver: follows Red and Blue and it takes place in Johto I think but as for a direct sequel? Unsure

Omega Paradox Complete Version: technically a sequel to Volt White but Volt White itself is basically a QoL and difficulty hack to White with some slight changes to story and I think some post game content. Haven't played either yet to know and it feels close enough to a sequel back

The reason why I haven't played any of these yet is because I'm trying to play all the main pokemon games I can on my 3DS and I'm playing them though QoL rom hacks. I really just went for whatever removed trade evolutions and version specific Mon. Currently on gen 4 with "refined Platinum" after just beating Yellow, Crystal and Emerald Legacy by SmithPlays. Haven't done any of the remakes yet, just waiting until after I beat gen 7. I've played Gen 6 and 7 as a kid but that was a long time ago
