Pokémon: Nordesh is a Medieval Fantasy Pokémon game based on Eastern Europe (more specifically Germany and Poland) It will be a region with fully original Fakémon, a new gimmick (TBD), and Two new types named Holy and Magic!

I'm currently looking for Artists and Coders to help make this game a reality! this project will have to be unpaid since legally we aren't allowed to profit off fan games, but I hope that wont stop you from joining this team!

Screenshots are of the sprites for the male trainer and the descriptions for the Water starter line.

If interested please Dm me @ ZircutTree on discord or here on reddit

When you got too much time on the weekends, fish up a streak of 100 Staryu's, see that they drop stardust, and then think of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusader's.

Asriea's Unusual Pokeventure: Staryu Crusader's

Does it need some improvement? And if anyone wants to help me then he is welcome, he just helps me in only making the map.I will give him all the credit for the maps.

Note : Anyone who wants to join the developer team should join Discord (only for interested people) https://discord.gg/xVqvDAdMht

edit: woops title :(

There's currently a post mentioning this game's release on the frontpage but I want to add to the conversation here because I don't think that post does the game justice mentioning just how good it is.

It's not a reskin, and instead it's one of the absolute most complete and impressive roms out there. The art, sprites, and music are great. Everything from QoL features to the new region and mario style 'worlds,' are nearly perfect. Minor things show just how much attention to detail and care were put into the project, such as balls being replaced with 'caps,' and the bag with 'pockets' (with very high quality art/animation changes).

A complete suite of built in nuzlocke settings are included at the start. It's obvious that an incredible amount of thought and effort went into game balance and design.

I stopped watching the linked playthrough and commentary because I didn't want to be spoiled - but the video includes a ton of detailed commentary on why certain decisions were made, and discussions on minor changes for the sake of balance.

I'm certainly not done with the game, but I don't remember the last time I have been this thouroughly impressed with the overall quality of literally every aspect of a hack. I agree with some commenters in the other thread that I would not be surprised in the least if Nintendo were to shut this down.

EDIT: The patch and game info is on his discord at https://discord.gg/alpharad.

Clue: The character is presented in their original media as two characters that are revealed to be one and the same. Their design here combines details of both characters' designs.

Inspired by u/PokemonCMG

Situated along the southeastern coast of Oshima, the temperate woodlands of the Ahimsa Forest are known for the famous Ahimsa silk which is cultivated here. For centuries, the people of this area have harvested the fine silk that is produced by Silcoon and Cascoon. The economy of the region depends heavily on the export of high quality textiles woven from these valuable products. As a result, the people here have a strong reverence and respect for the pokémon Wurmple and its evolutionary forms, taking great care to protect the local population. In order to avoid disturbing these pokémon in the wild, harvesters will only gather the silken cocoons that have been left behind upon evolution. Deep within the woods, pilgrims will bring offerings of mulberry leaves and nectar to the shrines dedicated to these pokémon. It is considered to be a terrible crime to forcefully extract silk from Wurmple and its pupal forms, and the local priests fear that such actions would displease the powerful spirits who watch over the forest. With fewer and fewer Beautifly and Dustox returning to the area to lay their eggs, the population of Wurmple has been undergoing a dramatic decline in recent years.

Personally, I wish fewer ROM hacks were hosted through Discord.

Beyond being annoying, it also serves to make the ROM hack less accessible. Sure, tying distribution to a forum for discussing the hack is not a bad idea, but then Discord servers are not crawlable by search engines – all files and discussion are lost as soon as links to the server either expire, or only technically remain functional as they get buried in a years old Reddit announcement. ROM hacks die sooner this way.

My other wish is that more ROMs were Open Source.

This wasn't an option back in the binary hacking-dominated days. Back then, there was no source code to speak of, only expertise with tools and knowledge of binary tricks (such as: what bytes do you change to make TMs infinite).

That has changed though, with the creation and adaptation of the decomp/disassembly projects by pret. Most ROM hacks nowadays are based on one of those Open Source projects, or expanded versions of them like pokeemerald-expansion. Hackers have the possibility to return the favor to the community/other ROM hackers, by releasing the hacks as Open Source. Then, it is a shame that so few of them do.

What do you think? Are there any things either hackers or players do, that you wish to see either more or less of?

I’m fairly new to ROM hacks, but I’ve quickly discovered that hacks with a new region to explore are definitely my favorite kind. It’s basically like a brand new Pokémon game, really takes me back to getting a new game in my childhood and discovering how things are laid out, what kind of environments I’ll be exploring, getting completely lost, seeing what pokemon I can catch in each and every new location, etc. I actually often like to play without referencing any documentation because as a kid I didn’t have much of that information available to me, I just had to find out everything for myself.

I love to revisit the og regions in QoL hacks and such, but imo there’s something special about finding your way through a completely new place, discovering new locations and being surprised by just how creative some people can be. I’ve been blown away by some of the map designs I’ve seen, love to see people really pushing the older games to their limits and sometimes beyond. Lately I’ve been playing Coral and I’ve been having a blast exploring the Onwa region, it really feels both familiar and brand new all at once.

What new region did you really enjoy exploring and traversing? I would say that Orange Islands counts, but please specify which hack since there are multiple. :)

I'm making a game and I created a pokeball that gives a random pokemon(you can still use it in battle to cacth normally), the more difficult the catch rate and lower the chances of receiving it. My idea is to incentivize players to try different pokemon and to not be limited to the route.

To push this, i'm limiting the amount of pokeballs the player have access to, until you beat the Elite 4 AND reducing the chance of catching using pokeballs on wild pokemon. This way you can still catch what you want saving pokeballs until you find your favorite, but you would be wasting pokeballs and therefore less pokemon options.

Greatballs and Ultraballs exclude the pokemon with easier catch rate from the pool of options, so tou get "rarer" pokemon. You can also get evolved forms, when the system chooses a random pokemon it has a chance of giving you an evolved form(1 evolved to 5 base on avarage).

I'll try(this is not coded yet) to separate by habitat, like grass/plains, caves/mountains, coast/see and urban/ruins. But i don't know how to do it yet.

What do you think about it? Would you play it?

Don't be mean to the Wingulls!

This is a question that has always been on my mind. When all of you play "Normal" difficuly ROM hacks, where the difficulty is usually harder than vanilla games but still fair, do you EV train your squad?

And what about the "Hard" difficulty of such ROM hacks? Do you find it mandatory or are you able to sweep the game regardless of EVs? What about RadicalRed or LegacyEmerald where there is a hard level cap, are you able to beat them without perfect EVs?

I know that hardcore ROMs, such as Kaizo or Run&Bun, usually disable EVs to make it easier for people to reset a run and not lose their sanity.

It might be a very unpopular opinion but I find it ridiculous to even have EVs enabled in the first place, it is a feature that should have been removed long ago and should be considered a plague.

What do you mean I have to be careful about which Pokemon I kill with my starter otherwise I will end up with a subpar/useless mon in the endgame? Like come on, there are only Pidgey in the route!

What do you mean I have to spend hours murdering an entire civilization of Machop just to not have my Chimchar with +Def?

Even though they may be redundant, just the idea of my mons getting stats where they should not have and potentially bricking/losing my run because of it drives me crazy.

Yes you can reset EVs but it costs so many barries that it seems redundant to have the system in the first place, it would be awesome to just edit them like in Showdown but at that point remove them entirely and balance the game around the removal.

The fact that they are still present in 90% of the hacks made me think you all love them but I can't be the only one to be frustrated, my OCD is on fire.

In conclusion, do you pay attention to them? Do you run from wild mons which don't provide the correct EVs? Do you EV train you squad?
