The Original Pokemon Rom Hack 2024 UPDATE

[@BuryTheLight-tds]

This is exactly what I want to see, not "difficulty" hacks with quality of life improvements that make them little to no different from the other.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Hey thanks!! Yea I actually just played a difficulty hack, and it was just frustrating like, I wanna enjoy my free time thanks

[@samuelcastillo5246]

agree🤝

[@BuryTheLight-tds]

@@shoopwoop3470 I feel ya, I would much rather have remakes/remasters of old Rom hacks in a similar vein to the Brown remaster you showcased

[@JayClearman411]

Same I like to see… route/map enhancements better more well rounded region dex etc..maybe a sprite makeover an better post game content.

[@trinketmage8145]

If it's a gen 1 hack then it probably uses gen 1 crit mechanics, which are influenced by speed. High level Persians and Dugtrios using higher crit rate moves like slash would only not crit in the 1/256 chance that any move would miss.

[@shoopwoop3470]

Ohhhh that makes a lot of sense

[@crownedshyness9656]

I’m in awe at how much love goes into these things.

[@shoopwoop3470]

It's the difference between people who do it to make money, and the people who treat it as a passion, and it shows

[@samuelcastillo5246]

I remember this was the first HackROM I played back in the day, in a blackberry phone, it was so much fun

[@shoopwoop3470]

I wish I wouldve played it back then, I'm just seeing it now lol

[@machadragonii145]

Wait, you could run this on a Blackberry

[@samuelcastillo5246]

@machadragonii145 yes.

The hack is based on Pokemon red, so the game mechanics are from gen1. Gen1 is notorious for many mechanics to be weird such as Critical Hits. First the Crit Chance is based on the pokemon's base Speed stat, so the faster pokemon have bigger crit chances. Second, Crits ignore all stat changes, even your own boosts from Swords Dance. So that's why Sandslash's Slash did that little

[@shoopwoop3470]

Ohhh okay thank you,

[@globalistgamer6418]

This, plus badge stat boosts are probably why he felt his pokemon were overpowered compared to recent games.

[@SK-mu7ok]

Definitely want to give this a try

[@shoopwoop3470]

Totally worth it, it was really pretty fun

[@Ruckus907]

That is pretty neat! You can tell it's a romhack because of the way it is!

[@shoopwoop3470]

Love that video

[@TheDoctorSlug]

The way I found about Rom Hacks was actually a Bootleg cartridge with Pokemon Brown for the Game Boy Color that ACTUALLY worked on a physical GBC, and I thought it was really for SO LONG before I realised in 2015 that it was a Rom Hack...

[@shoopwoop3470]

Lolll that's awesome, I wish that would've been my experience with it

[@byakko2121]

Noibat should crit like crazy with his speed stat

[@shoopwoop3470]

Yea just realized it was gen 1 mechanics lol

[@Karim896]

So guess someone already told u but crit in gen one is based on speed and if you do crit do not apply buff that's why sandslash did not that much damaged. Also I don't know in this hack but probably doesn't have difference between special attack and defence which make some Pokémon much more stronger

[@shoopwoop3470]

Yeaa I figured special physical didn't exist but I didn't realize they'd do complete gen 1 mechanics

[@pointathim]

I just saw the reply to the post, glad I got to be a hitmonchan

[@Onlytwogenderscrymore]

People, do yourselves a favor and play this. Then after you beat it, go play pokemon prism.

[@shoopwoop3470]

I plan to play prism next

[@realgod1002]

Sound being super effective to water make sense... Sound Waves can actually make water move. i did 2 runs of this and that's the only thing i learned about the new types togehter with "Abnormal" which is Porygon's typing being super effective against Normal but weak against Flying

[@shoopwoop3470]

Yea what was weird is I think the flying v wind type? Idk I just remember a tough doduo fight early on
