What tools do you need to make your dream Pokémon game?

this is genuinely what I thought gba rom hacking would be like when I first tried getting into it a decade ago, boy was I in for a surprise

I maybe have spent more hours in advancemap than anyone in the world, that was my whole childhood. Minecraft before minecraft

This is very cool! I imagine it’s a bit tailored for the default tileset only?

Yes right now it's completely designed around the FRLG and RSE tilesets with some of the common additions like sideways stairs and expanded overworlds

You are a Pokemon artist 🗽

Thank you so much 😚😚😚

😊

What's this!? I had no idea something like this existed! I thought everyone was doing black magic in RPG Maker

Give me all of the assets for heartgold/soulsilver and I'll give you a masterpiece.

rpg maker xp lo puedes descargar gratis y hasta tengo un tutorial para eso

As an advancemap user I was always jealous of the autotiles and stuff in RMXP with Pokemon Essentials

y porque no lo empiezas a usar? deberia ser mas facil

I just need a GBA version of Platinum and Black version and I'm set for life with Pokemon games and romhacks

Close to the truth

If you really want 100 regions, hit me up. Geography is my game.

I want to make it VERY easy to add your own regions to a mega-game

Hell yeah. I would be able to get Nauru hell yeah.

I think everyone has a dream region they would make if it didnt take 10,000 hours to make it one pixel at a time

Indeed.

This would have taken forever in AdvanceMap

It would be a little faster with RPG maker but the map tools all could be improved

I know it might sound embarrassing, but since I don't have a PC, despite having countless ideas, I've never been able to turn them into reality. I just wish someone would make an Android ROM-hacking tool someday.

I will think about this, the map editor is already a web app but I haven’t thought about touch controls and mobile layouts

Thank you so much for considering it! I completely understand that adapting the map editor for touch controls and mobile layouts would take some work. Even having the possibility of using it on Android someday would mean a lot to me. I really appreciate you thinking about it!

Can you create interiors as well? Like buildings and stuff? Or just land structures?

Right now it can place any building from vanilla gen 3, and I am working on an actual building editor for making custom building exteriors in the FRLG style without needing to do heavy pixel art

Cool

No skin way

A gen 1 version of this tool

Yo this slaps harder than a Charizard first edition pull

What tool is this?

Oh interesting! No more AdvancedMap 😮
