Same can't be said about how it looks from the front, where it looks like someone ripped the bulb off the saur

You can add your own custom sprites

What would happen if you banned all the moves that were like “oh this one event from 2004 has it so it’s technically usable in Gen 8”

Part of me things that Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly are actually just divergent evolutions of like, I guess Litten, Totodile and Torchic respectively. I dunno why, but the third stage evolutions just call to mind what the others are like
Sprigatito-Litten and Quaxly-Torchic are somewhat easy to see, but I was struggling a little to find some connection that Fuecoco and Totodile could have, but then I realized it's likely their method of locomotion
Y'know how Feraligatr is usually seen on two legs but is said to get on its fours when it's actually moving around? Seems this also is the case for Skeledirge.

got around to soloing pikachu
i'm not gonna say it was trivial, i almost ran out of time, but meowscarada can do it cleanly as long as you're fast enough
so how do we make pikachu present a challenge?
- starts the battle with shield up, and shield covers 100% of its hp
- make it hold light ball
- set up rain and use surf before anyone can act
even with that it was probably the easiest raid i've done so far solo
i didn't do cinderace so i can't judge that; zard was moderately challenging even with azu and while slowbro did make greninja easier, it was a bit of setup work and crit rng needing to go my way
so turn 1 was press knock off, turns 2 and 3 were spent waiting for meow to die, then set up cheers, then spent the rest of the time spamming flower trick
it took over 10 turns so pp up would be required to copy that
also obv tera when able, otherwise you're not getting anywhere

fucking 68 turn long game
normal cave
pointlessly lost peli
could have just swapped into amogus
I doubt the last move was psyshock, otherwise they would have clicked it already
also taking black sludge off clod was a mistake, I thought it had leftovers
also only won because opponent got greedy with dnite
putting a scarf on it in the first place was the way to go, since it can't one-shot wezl at +0 with espeed
kind vortex
added hone claws to the set bc i remembered meow gets that, and it's helped a bit in terms of speed
although thunder rng is kinda annoying
normal cave
wide lens time?
kind vortex
- hone claws also increases accuracy so if that was an issue then hone claws would make it not an issue
- meowscarada can't learn thunder
- pikachu does, and getting parahaxed several times per fight is a pain
normal cave
ahh
kind vortex
can't fit covert cloak since i need shell bell to heal off a big chunk of damaage in the middle
normal cave
does mewsca get aromatherapy?
kind vortex
i actually don't know, but i just use heal cheer to deal with para
there are a few alternatives, but none i'm keen on doing
- switch over to arboliva or amoonguss with a giga drain/growth/sunny day/synthesis set holding covert cloak
- switch over to a special attacking meowscarada
normal cave
apparently aromatherapy isn't in gen 9
kind vortex
rip
normal cave
from a quick search on bulbapedia
kind vortex
but yeah i'm not too worried about it
i've only had one fail so far and that was due to me misclicking
kind vortex
the setup is pretty consistent, probably gonna actually farm this one a bit
just thunder is annoying
there was one run where i got hit with 3 paras, and my setup only has enough space for 2 heal cheers since i use a def cheer

Alright, Tera Raids against Pikachu.
...This, honestly just seems pretty effortless if it's just Pikachu and doesn't have like, a laundry list of stuff it does in the raid itself
It's Water-Type, so all likelihood it's just gonna use special attacks, or a mix of it and physical attacks, so I'm guessing a grass-type is the way to go
Might just bring Lurantis if so
A shame if so, cause Pikachu actually being the most difficult 7* raid to date would just have been so hilarious
normal cave
Symph check this if you want a strategy
bleak pine
Yeah, Live Wo-Chien reaction would be funny.
But I like my Not-Insect, dammit
Though, I def will equip Lurantis with the Covert Cloak
After Jacking it's Sp. ATK up with Leaf Storm, it might just be a matter of flinging out Giga Drain a whole lot.
...Do any Tera Raid mons actually use One-Hit KO moves yet?
I sincerely hope not, but that would just be evil if they did have it

So the guy who's making the Pokemon roguelike hack has made something ridiculous that might unironically change how GBA hacks work from now on?
Rn it's only working as Fire Red/Emerald Combo Randomizer
But what that means is that any route between either game can seamlessly transfer you to the OTHER GAME without closing or anything and with your team and progress carried over
placid junco
Neat

I wonder if this means you can make a full hack now that runs off multiple roms?
golden lance
This is so fucking cool
vagrant steppe
It'd probably be a ton more effort, but you could like triple the size of the hack easily then
vagrant steppe
Imagine something like unbound but they're able to effectively dlc in new regions by adding extra roms
golden lance
It'd probably be a ton more effort, but you could like triple the size of the ha...
Yea, it'd be huge for stuff like crown that is naturally limited by rom space
vagrant steppe
There's definitely some stuff you'd have to have in every single rom to make it work
But it theoretically makes the amount of content in a Pokemon ROM unlimited
normal cave
That could mean a romhack with every region in it
golden lance
Reminds me of how games like ff7 had multiple discs
normal cave
Just the full marathon
vagrant steppe
That could mean a romhack with every region in it
Yeah pretty much
Rn he's saying items aren't able to be linked until he can find a new way to do it, but if he can, you can do anything with a couple GBA roms
It's also a neat way to introduce "dlc" to romhacks
normal cave
You can run doom on pokemon

Just the full marathon
Level scaling would be an issue ngl
