Been playing Pokémon Colosseum recently. This could be nostalgia talking but it has a certain charm to it compared to the other games. Maybe because I was thrown off by NPCs openly flirting with your character and the lean towards a "PG" feeling compared to the mainline games. I like the region , feels a bit more rural and underdeveloped compared to the other ones. Sad that you never really hear about it outside the GC games. Think my only real complaint is that animations can be janky at times, it's especially noticeable when you use moves like Fly.

Really liking this simple build. She needs a name though. Any name suggestions?

Just so you know, I did a review of my time with Grand Colosseum, a great romhack of the game, if you're ever interested in playing it again(and an XD romhack called "NeXt Gen")

So, I'm ready to do my write up about Pokemon Gale of Darkness ROMhack known as Pokemon XG: NeXt Gen. First of all, here are a few posts to refer to while reading this one:

As for the Ninetales, it's a pretty good build. I would call it "Amaterasu". Note that if you play either romhack, you get access to an Alolan version of it as well as the Kantonian one(same goes for Marowak). If you took my advice with Trigger's PC, do note that there is a point of no return for those games where you will be unable to load your savefile into a program, I suggest you check when that is in either game and create a backup file right before those points in each game.

Colosseum was an unpolished gem with some actual heart put into it. By no means perfect, but it has just enough goofy edge to match its low polygon count that I love it all the same. I had been playing through a hack of it per suggestions in this thread, but I switched from Windows to Linux Mint a while back and haven't bothered trying to get a gamecube emulator to work on my new setup yet.

Edit: Name the Ninetails "Miles" to embrace the Autism.

Was made by a team who literally hadn't played Pokemon before.

I don't like the whole catching and clensing shadows and IMO the environments are a bit sparse and boring for a GC title... I can see why people like em though.

Ah, so instead of actually giving the devs enough time they created the illusion of giving the devs enough time by revealing the game before they even had anything to show. Can't wait for another region full of people who hate their jobs

Now that you mention it, it may be a very real possibility. Last time we got this much radio silence it was with USUM and it's pretty clear that happened because there was nothing new to show.

Still, time for some long overdue predictions/wishes.
  • Story takes place right after AZ fired the Ultimate Weapon.
  • Mega Delphox and Chesnaught. No idea what will be done with Greninja as it already has a form and it's clearly the favorite.
  • Mega/Primal Xerneas and Yveltal. I better see Mega Yveltal, I've waited a long time for this :mad: And it better not be as ugly as Origin Dialga and Palkia.
  • Stray Unova mega as it has as many megas as Kalos does.
  • Mega Charizard Z.
  • Mega Raichu (more of a wish than a prediction but oh well).
  • Woman Sycamore.
  • Woman Lysandre.
  • Man Diantha.
  • Alternate form/new member of the Lake Guardians or the Treasures of Ruin. So far they're the only minor legendary trios that haven't had either of these. I'm betting on a Treasure of Ruin.

man, pokemon rumors and leaks were so much cooler back then. The "find mew under the truck at the docks" is still my favorite one.

The environment that allowed those rumors no longer exists.

<”wow I better start catching!”

>“you can find mew by using strength on the-“
<“yeah I just found a youtube video where some guy datamined the entire game and reverse engineered the code five hours after its release and that truck doesn’t have any intractable elements so you’re wrong”

'I'm not lying! I got Mew in my game...'
'...that was hacked. I got that same mod. There are hundreds of mods that let you catch Mew, a few that copy those same rumours.'

The only good post-gen 2 Pokemon game.

I miss shit like that. There's just no mystery in games anymore. If the game isn't being stripped down to the most basic code, there are millions of people playing it that quickly find any sort of secret or Easter Egg or whatever. 95% of playground rumors were bullshit, but they were still fun.

I may have reached that point since I tried loading my save and nothing showed. I'm getting ready to do the elite 4 but getting my team ready and breeding a bit. Gen 3 is AWFUL for breeding damn. Thank god for PkHex to help with the process, couldn't imagine doing it 100℅ legit.

The team I may go with:
Ninetails
Bellossom
Swalot
Crobat
Gardevoir
Cradily
(Heavily debating swapping someone for Cacturne)

Plan to transfer these guys and more to Colosseum once I beat the story, and then to other games and romhacks. Eventually they will wind up in Ultra Sun and Moon to maybe transfer to a newer game. Not sure on that yet.

I'll give those GC romhacks a try, didn't even know they had one.

(Thanks for the name suggestions btw. Leaning on Amaterasu.)

Sometimes modern devs try to do something like that, but it almost never lasts. Probably the biggest example I can think of is The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, where unlocking The Lost was this process of dying in very specific ways in a specific order, so the community was supposed to figure out what deaths were needed to trigger each step. The whole thing was datamined a few days after the game’s release. So next time, the devs went for an ARG that waited until each step was completed before patching the next clue into the game.

Or you have something like Deltarune where the devs just leave a secret message that says “pls don’t leak anything you datamine, thanks”, which might delay it for a day or two if they’re lucky.

That would be something a Toby Fox game would do.

But yeah, I have seen a few secrets that actually have yet to be solved, but overall it's a lost cause trying to build any mystery and it's a bummer.

It has its charm, but when you're a fan of more niche games the lack of information can be annoying. For a Pokemon example, Gates to Infinity doesn't have much technical information online, even sites like Bulbapedo have very incomplete info on the Pokemon and items you can find in dungeons. There are some things I know about Gates to Infinity that I've never seen mentioned on a wiki.
Funnily enough, when I was younger I'd spend hours on Eastern Savanna trying to recruit Kyurem because for some reason Bulbapedo said it could be found there (it couldn't).

Quite true, it's also just interesting to see the inner workings of a game, but that might be because I'm interested in gamedev.
That said, it kinda contributed to the wikification of games you see nowadays. Many gamers nowadays are no longer willing to experiment, they immediately resort to a wiki as soon as they find a puzzle they can't complete on the first try (if they even try at all). Some developers have adapted by either idiot-proofing the puzzles to the point they're no longer puzzles (Pokemon is here), or by including a wiki with extremely specific technical information inside the game itself.
