It's one of those hacks where if it clicks with you, it really clicks. Over the various versions I think I've put in about 80 hours? And I'm still crawling back for more with this one lol

This is an amazing accomplishment, that's for sure and can never be denied...but I personally don't like "challenge" hacks. I prefer hacks that reasonably buff older Pokémon, and make Gym Leaders and Team bosses fairly difficult but still manageable - but not overwhelmingly so.

Like, there's a difference between this and Drayano's SacredGold/BlazeBlack or Pokémon Compass, which are much more balanced in the player's favour.

I'd like a romhack in Pokemon that does QoL stuff but leaves difficulty vanilla. Or at least gives me the option of it like Unbound.

I've been playing a so called "Perfect Emerald" ROM hack. Basically allows you to capture every pokemon from Gen 1 to 3, with trading Pokemon evolving via Friendship and getting Starters in different spots.
But honestly this ROM hack sounds really good.

Thanks for letting us know about this.

What handheld is that? At first I thought it was a Vita, then I saw the d-pad was at the bottom.

It's the Odin 2 Mini! Bought it a month or so ago and been meaning to write something up about it, bloody good handheld (albeit a bloody expensive one).

They all look so alike these days it's hard to tell the difference.

Yeah I do feel that to an extent. At least AYN decided to rip off a nice form factor in the Vita though, that's pretty much what sold me on it lol

I missed out on the last few updates to this hack, but this one seems very significant. It's a pretty wacky hack with all the innates, but it's very fun. I'm definitely going to dig the monotype friendly starter selection.

I think that'll be my next run after I finish off the randomizer I have on the go. Never tried a monotype one but I have noticed how many different Pokemon are available so early. Does seem really fun.

This looks amazing, Will this work on a flashcart? i've been meaning to start getting into romhacks, and this one seems to tick all the boxes

I agree. I prefer hacks that streamline things or focus on giving the player more choice and freedom than a specific challenge. Then again, I’ve never tried to delve into competitive focus. Maybe I’d change my tune if I did.

It does seem to get to the title screen on my Everdrive GBA, so I would imagine it's fine. I've mostly been playing on my Odin though so I can't give you much in the way of more thorough information.

That extremely small font for text reminds me of the Final Fantasy games on GBA.

Please do way more news about rom hacks, especially since it's pretty hard to keep track on them since RHDN went down and hacks decided to hide behind the "Discord wall".

I'm happy to cover the ones I come across. The larger issue is that most of what I come across are Pokemon hacks since that's what I'm interested in and mostly play. People are interested now, but after the fifth or sixth Pokemon hack I imagine I'll get complaints lol

That's also what I come across most of the time. Then again it's probably the most popular rom hacking community apart from Mario and Metroid games.

I think for "bigger" hacks like Radical Red or Rogue Emerald, it's totally worth a news. Pokemon Elite Redux gets huge 2.1 update with refreshed battle UI and more (52)

Pokemon ROWE and Pokemon Fire Red Extended have been my go to hacks!

ROWE hasn't been updated in a few months but the dev keeps periodically dropping teasers on updates. It's a fully playable game at the moment; the update is supposed to add new areas in Emerald that aren't a part of the vanilla game.
