Having rock and ground type always annoyed me. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

In my mind these are essentially the same thing. Ever since I was a kid playing Red, it annoyed me so much and I still think about it sometimes.

They made it even worse by making all the rock types also ground types in the beginning.

There is so much I'd love to see changed about this series. I doubt anything will ever seriously change to my liking. I think the best thing is to play romhacks or other games that capture the spirit of pokemon.

Do you have any recs for romhacks?

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’m only just getting into it, but I’m playing Pokemon ultra violet.

Is a hack of fire red and it is pretty vanilla, but you can catch all the Pokemon and but have to trade for trade evolutions.

Also, you can choose a starter like normal or go to some kind of safari zone and get something else. I caught a ghastly as my starter.

Nice, I’ll have to look into that one.

A couple that I’ve been following are:

Pokemon Lazarus, an emerald romhack in a new region based on Greece. Lots of custom pixel art for the trees/architecture/terrain and apparently has megas.
Pokemon KEP, a red hack that adds some of the original beta Pokemon back in to the game along with regional variants of Kanto Pokemon, and adds a couple new locations/characters/music/features.
Pokemon Extreme Yellow which adds in some of the Kanto megas as final evolutions. A bunch of other goodies too such as expanded maps, quality of life stuff, crazy hard puzzles. The creator is trying to implement a bunch of other crazy stuff for an unreleased update including diving mechanics.

I'm having a ton of fun with Pokemon Odyssey, it is one of the most unique rom hacks out there, and you do not need to know anything about the game it's based on to appreciate it

Not true. The 1st gen fossil pokemon are rock/flying and rock/water.

~~Yes,~~ You are correct. My intent was to point out that ~~although~~ your average player would be exposed to the Geodude line, the Rhyhorn line, and Onix significantly more often than any of the fossil Pokemon.
