Pokémon Emerald Imperium is Fun but TOUGH

[DinoDude]

The effort that must have been put into all those new Pokemon sprites must have been insane, props to the devs.

Mega evolution for normal Pokemon: stat boost + new looks
Mega evolution for Slaking: wakes up
the entire Pokemon world: oh no

[Maggotier-to]

Slaking really DID stand up and lose its truant ability.

I was sold when he said "can tweak iv and nature".. as someone who's cycling for like 10 hours time to get jolly gible (forget perfect iv, just perfect nature) in renegade platinum, its lifesaver

Mega Slaking WITHOUT truant has to be a violation of the Geneva convention or something

[vulpinitemplar]

As long as "very strong teams" doesn't end up being every other trainer having legendaries and such for seemingly no reason :v

[eeveestar]

I found that ROM Hacks that have "every Pokémon" make it annoyingly difficult to find a specific Pokémon because in order to fit them all, a route will have, like, 30 Pokémon with 1-3% encounter rates.

I mean Pokémon Emerald is 20 years old, it makes sense why it would be so good!

Mega slaking without truant sounds more op than mega rayquaza

[Ironman-uuzu]

Can confirm, I'm currently at the league and the last Elite 4 member wiped the floor with me like 3 times. For context, the team I brought was Tapu Koko, Metagross, Ogerpon (Cornerstone Mask), Infernape, Swampert, and Roaring Moon

[DieFarbeLila]

Wow. Creating all these sprites must have been super tricky. Especially with the newer more intricate designs

[alimatloob]

We've gone from 150 to over a 1000 Pokémon now, time really flies

[VulcanX]

Been seeing this around and i didn't think much of it until now, it looks way more interesting than i expected

[bluekirby_]

The artstyle looks more like the one from gens 4-5, but scaled down to gen 3's sprite size.

[ZdsZodyrus]

i freaking HATE level caps in rom hacks. I should be allowed to challenge the 1st gym with a level 100 starter if i so choose.

[DaDonBossMan]

A mega slaking without truant would devastate competitive

[freezingfire]

These are cool and all, but man they all gen 3 with the same region and almost the same story. I played a lot of those lately and even with new pokemon and gimmicks it feels repeating.

[MerlinTheGr]

Pointcrow needs to hear about this ASAP

[vinny]

A "problem" with the level cap is that it limits you to inherently strong pokemon instead of your favorites.

[Wingsaber]

As a casual pokemon fan who plays romhacks/fangames purely to play more pokemon (and also play pokemon games that are generally designed with more passion and love for the franchise than the more recent official games imo), I'm always waiting for the "and the game is way harder" when I hear about these games because its such a turn off for me :( Yeah yeah I'm not the target audience, doesnt mean I'm not sad about it. Game sounds really cool otherwise!
