The New Pokemon ROM Hack That Actually Changes Everything.

Pokemon ROM hacks usually like to follow the stand Gamefreak formula that most of us are probably sick of by now. Luckily, a newly updated ROM hack has provided a much different experience that we're used to! Join me in this short, but informative, video, as I show you what it's all about!

Much appreciated! 🙏

"so while there are only 400 Pokémons to catch" y'know, I feel like this is the difference between a Pokémon fan and a guy that knows Pokémon and is still trying to get into it. One listens to this sentence and goes "ah, bummer" while the other (me) goes "WITJSIFKWKD HOW MANY????"

It's pretty much Etrian Odyssey 3: The Pokémon game and that's a good thing

[Local-Hyena]

As a kid I wanted to join games freaks to make the next pokemon games, and my old scenario was not focused to battle or becoming a champion, but rather exploration and discovery. I'm glad that other people make that kind of fangames/rom hacks

[RED_XLR]

That formula you explained is exactly the reason why I say the mainline Pokemon game's stories are so bad, but it's not that the story is bad; it's that it doesn't have a story, only a formula that's been beaten to death, and it's boring at this point.

I finished all the content available on its version 2.6 and loved every second of it! The game is such a breath of fresh air for the ROM hacking scene!

you're becoming 1 of the best pkmn video essayists, we really needed someone talking about fangames more in depth

[Radiogumdrop]

Oh my god. This is a Pokémon and Etrian Odyssey cross over. This combines two amazing series. I’m definitely going to try this out.

Decent spin on a pokemon game, not everyone wants to follow the same formula of collect 8 badges and become the champion... sometimes you just want to explore and collect them all. Having an Etrian Odyssey dungeon spin on it also doesn't make it aimless, there is an obvious path forward while you can also take the time to go down side paths. Definitely going to consider this one.

Obsessed with the mini portraits in dialogues. I've been off the ROM game for maaaany years (👵), but I'll have to check this out!

I'm not sure if it's sad or amazing that community made hacks bring me far more entertainment than the official releases

[LazarusIsBackBaby]

Oh man did they really pluralize stratum as "stratums"? Strata is *right there*

[comyuse]

gyms really don't work on the narrative level many fan games (or good ones at least) want to operate on. they can make sense as a side activity or for the gym leaders themselves to be entities in the story to help keep things grounded in pokemon's world, but if there is a big bad evil guy doing big bad evil things then it is just stupid to slow down the plot because you need a shiny bauble to go swimming.

Wow idk how this vídeo is only 6 minutes. You edit very well :)

[sonofahee-ho]

As a HUGE Etrian Odyssey fan especially the third game, I'm super grateful I found this video and learned of this romhack's existence. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[SejhaIsHere]

You were really close! Yggdrasil stars with an Ig sound like Iggy.

[copeandseethe]

Hey, can I ask what game you showed at 00:13 ?

[brycenbohl]

Wasn’t interested in this hack before, but you’ve turned me around! Really excited to try it!

[BluePhantom]

Wanting to play this now. Also, I Love the ice type Mightyena design. I like that the game has variants instead of fakemon, that's a cool change of pace.~💗💫

[PristinePanda]

well shit, now i want an official pokemon x etrian odyssey collab
