Anyone else see that Pokémon gamma emerald demo coming out on may 15th?

It looks beautiful! Though it’s going to be a .exe so getting it to play portably might be difficult.

same storyline or new main campaign??

 

[moats_art]

Not sure but there are day/night mechanics and Pokémon can follow you now.

 

[Deebo]

I’m down. Let’s try & get it running on the handhelds and start together

I hope it's not just Emerald, again. I'll only bother with Pokémon hacks these days if they try and make it either a new regional map and/or very different mechanics.

@RageBurner I wonder if you would like Emerald Seaglass. The maps and mechanics are pretty much the same (plz correct me if I’m wrong @moats_art), but the big overhaul is done with the graphics. It emulates GBC and everything is redrawn from scratch/copies GBC sprites. And it’s gorgeous!!

I'm always up for more Pokemon, but I yearn for the really imaginative projects like Ash Grey (it's literally the anime being played), Orange Islands (Gamefreak themselves could have developed that one) or even things like Dark Rising and Snakewood.

View attachment 68145You are correct, it is mostly the same but they have added additional Pokémon and moves from all the other generations beyond. Like for example, if you have a primeape, it can also evolve into an annihilape.

Probably! I love GBC visuals.

Never played it, but to me Crystal Clear is perfection.

Hmm... do tell!

Ooh Unbound is perfect. New region and story. The starters are gible, larvitar and beldum. They give you perfect information on Pokémon’s IVs and the EV spread as you play. Expanded move pools, no need for HM slave, and you can change the difficulty. Even knowing your Pokémon’s Stats, the gym leaders are really tough and will always be a few levels above what you are currently at. It features Hoopa Unbound as the main legendary.

The IV EV spread no longer being a hidden mechanic, seeing how IMPERFECT AND BROKEN your catches are….it turns you into someone new, someone I never wanted to be….

At least we don’t have pkmn crispr—me personally, I’m closer to an instagram dog breeder. I need that surskit LARGE, and BIG too.

Playing different player archetypes is something that would be great.
