Pikasprey suffered through this game. His playthroughs of it start off optimistic, but the game itself slowly drove him insane by the end

I remember that playthrough, by the time he got into the Island of Calm, the man lost his sanity and it was hilarious. Crazy that a Pokèmon romhack broke a man's mind so bad he never touched it again.

I will never forget his first reaction to Kingmadio. That's when he realized the hack was going to go from poorly written but playable to an absolute nightmare.

I do find it hilarious that a pokemon take on the zombie apocalypse involves defeating zombies in pokemon battles

And then it devolves into the creator’s ramblings and pop culture references at the time. The worst example being that puzzle in the climax of the plot where if you get an answer wrong you get sent to the beginning of the room, and it’s just a bunch of random shit that would fly over most people’s heads.

Maybe it's just because I spent an unreasonable amount of time messing around with Romhacking tools when I was, like, thirteen, but this just seems charming to me. These days, we have hundreds of solid romhacks, but there was a time when even the really good ones were full of nonsense edgy writing, badly edited sprites and maps/puzzles that make no sense. Along with dated memes and le epic vocabulary. It's almost nostalgic.

Snakewood's not a good rom hack by any means, but it at least is funny. Darkrising from what I've seen is worse for all the same reasons as Snakewood, but it takes itself seriously. Not really too surprising, as it was made by an edgy 13 year old girl that has since realized her first hack was awful and has started making better hacks.

The "Digimon" in the later half of the game are from a game called "Telefang", a digimon clone in which monster buddies are summoned by giving them a call on their cellphone. Surprisingly, this game has found niche success in Japan and was popular enough to get into this hack. Also, by that point, the egg could've evolved into the legendary beasts or Celebi if given one of the elemental stones.

@CrusticusGameing 2 ай бұрын

To add some more context to Telefang having relevance in America, there were pretty notorious, poorly translated bootlegs of the first Telefang games on GBC called Pokémon Diamond and Jade that gained traction online around the time Snakewood was made.

The gag about how one of the evil teams used orange-aid (that you can surf on) instead of lava because they couldn't get lava was funny. Otherwise, the game was full of 2000s internet random humor that didn’t age well (and maybe wasn't all that funny to begin with).

I have so much respect for people who get into rom hacking, it’s a skill I’ll probably never learn, but I wish they’d have some restraint when starting out, there are so many hacks that do poorly because they try to fit too many things into their first project

This was The Cutlerine's 2nd or 3rd project. The 1st was unreleased and the other is a short hack called The Grand Day Off or something.

Fun fact in the final area I believe if you faint after entering the area it litterally soft locks you either have to go back to an old save or if you saved already you have to restart the intire game. Snake wood isn’t really good.

*12:04* This is actually from an old GBC monster tamer called Telefang (Which recently had its fan translation completed, btw). Hell, they go so far as to call the trainer class for this trainer "T-Fanger," which is literally just the Telefang equivalent of trainers. Lol. Regardless, it still seems VERY out of place, even in the "Pokémon but zombies" game. :P

This was the first rom hack I ever patched myself. It had good strong horror vibes in the beginning. I would have spooky music playing while playing through the beginning parts. When I got stonewalled with stupid jokes, and bad puzzles, though, it lost me. But this game had some good ideas in it. Outside of the zombie, Pokémon designs, the extra evolutions given to Zangoose and the poochiana line were fun to play with. If the discouragement from the Internet, putting it lightly, didn’t totally discouraged, the developer, I would play another game by them. A more low-key game that focuses on things like battling and unique Pokémon.

Just like everyone else said, it's funny you did no research to find out those AREN'T Digimon. I'll be honest, any new Pokémon that's being created just looks like a Digimon ripoff.

@DrCoeloCephalo Ай бұрын

Between the cut Battle Frontier in ORAS with the devs saying there are plenty of other games to play and the massive complaints with new designs and horrible performance of new games, it is like they are trying to tell western Pokemon fans to actually play other monster collectors JRPGs like the Japanese already do.

there's a very very shitty rom hack called Mega Ruby which is just Ruby with random fakemon, legendaries and fusions sprinkled in every patch of grass; all being like lvl.50 plus from Littleroot itself, but atleast it looked so low effort you could write it off as baby's first romhack. this thing clearly had some effort put into it but my god is it bad.
