GAME FREAK won't like this...

- When I was a kid, I always wanted to make a Pokémon game. I tried out Sword and Shield in 2020, and didn't love it... So I decided to make my own game to see if I could do it better. How did I do this? Hacking Pokémon Fire Red.

Don't release it until it's done. No one is rushing you. Take time, take breaks, take care.
shut up
@@justrui395 bro what did he do??
I think The Pokémon Compant could benefit from taking that advice.
but they are company so they have to rush, is part of the business @@TheHardys01
Bro, if you decide to start over again, please work with the decomp project. It's a steep learning curve at the beginning, but it's super safe and will make debugging much much easier. You will never lose a project again. Keep the dream alive! A fellow rom hacker.
yeah 100% this and use git as well 🙏🙏
Decomp/disasm is the way to go nowadays. Only two years ago kind of bonks around in my head, as iirc the pret dumps were already on GitHub by then.
And yeah, way safer than binary hacking. Compilation/assembly might take longer to get together, but you don't have to make 898 backups of the same ROM. 😂
Stop infringing nintendo’s IP. I will report you to the FBI
@@xbon1 Lol suree.
@@xbon1 suck it loser
The fact you think you wasted 2 years is the biggest problem. You've learned so much over that period. Take it for what it is.
'When the ideas never end, the project nevers ends...'
That hit me so hard. It is the reason I hardly finish any of my own personal writing projects.
Perfection is the enemy of good. Nothing is ever perfect so in the pursuit of it we never reach a satisfying conclusion. We all need deadlines or a concrete goal and then stop.
@@KayJay01 If I may present a counterpoint with a quote (not sure whose it is and I am definitely quoting it incorrectly): "A product is not perfect when nothing else can be added. Rather, it's perfect when nothing can be removed."
@@takkiemon That is a *very* solid piece of advice.
Dude, please finish this project! This looks great and I'd love to play it in it's complete form! Don't give up, I'm rooting for you!
I need to play this, just finished my soft modded psp.
I have never thirsted for a game more in my life
Where cam i download the rom?
It’s not finished yet, if it is you can check the desctritpion of the video
crazy how all i heard from that was "schlock schlock schlock, ptoo, schlock schlock schlock"
Hi! I just wanted to mention that all of the music in the video was actually recorded from the rom hack. You can find it all in the description!
thought you were a big channel keep up the great quality
Man Amazing I so much want to play it. Finish it please and if you do share on your channel, seems fire
You are legend dude I want to play your rom hack now
please dont give up we need a new rom hack😭
I Would Love A Rom Hack Of Digimon World DS To Increase The Critical Hit Rate To That Of Dawn/Dusk!SOURAI!HOLY FLARE!CORONA!Fry And Burn Those Demon Lords ALIVE!
I'm a software developer and hearing your journey making this was extremely relatable. Scope creeps, constant testing and version control are all part of the software development lifecycle! Welcome to the club.
Also, I suggest learning git to backup your project it's a real lifesaver.
On top of that a more robust build system than just changing a gba file until it's done sounds absolutely miserable! Building from the base assests would be much more stable, way more debuggable but does depend on a high quality disassembly which I'm not sure exists. Working on a single file iteration by iteration sounds so miserable!! I'm extremely impressed.
@@minerscale it has existed for a while, pokeemerald in github is a great example but there are many for the first few generations, and the people are hard at work disassembling anything that has pokemon in its name and it's not recent enough to warrant much action from game freak
You had me at "so I tried swsh"
Feels bad man, I'm sorry you had to get through that
I was dumb enough to buy it without going and doing research cuz Nintendo had never failed me before then, oh boy was that a bad decision.
nothing can recreate the heartbreak of getting so hyped watching this video only for the reveal that it isn’t finished lmfao
hoping this project gets finished soon, it looks absolutely fantastic!
Felt this!!
Same
when the fan projects have more time and effort than the newly released game
Having tried multiple times making my own Pokemon ROM hacks many years ago, I genuinely commend your ability to keep it going. Wishing you the best of luck dude, looking forward to the final release!
So I love this video for someone trying something new. But I think OP (and the romhacking community at large) takes too many shortcuts. If you learn to code, you don't need to be limited by 2004 tech. Or use all the romhacking tools. We are litterally being limited to 32 MB for no reason. I get a few people want an organic challenge, but to make the best game we can use our current tech. So for my game I'm making from scratch, I have the ability to implement custom status conditions, new abiliites, all new pokemon, snagging pokemon, playing remotely with friends etc. And I learned coding in one summer, and slowly built on it, so its not I was a master coder when I started this.
@@wonderfulworldofmarkets9033 I think it's more about the passion behind it. You love those sprites, the art style etc. and you want to create the best pokemon game for you. It's like a fanfic.
@@lyuboslavpetkov4368 But you can do all that without having to be limited to 32 MB? I don't know why you're forced to use a gameboy cartridges memory when you can use as much as you want.
@WonderfulWorldofMarkets there's a difference between a fan game and a rom hack. A rom hack is patched onto the original rom and therefore is restricted by it
@@adamholt929 Okay well terminology aside, my point still stands. I think that game developers in 2023 shouldn't be limited by 2003 technology.
We are all rooting for you! I look forward to playing it once its complete. Sounds awesome. Keep up the amazing work!
This is super impressive! I’m so hyped for this, take all the time you need. As a huge Pokémon fan myself I’m rooting for you! :)
dude you have no idea how much i laugh hearing you say you wanted to make a whole new pokemon game + original soundtrack + new story line + new tyles, all in 3 months, i love the optimism, and the fact you actually kept working on the project, genuinelly sounds like a great game, hoping to see it completed someday
Don't even think I could find a good games worth of tile sets that quickly 😂
Stumbled this on my recommended, watching you struggle and put effort on to the romhack makes me want to see it to completion and play it. The concept is so good and having those gimmicks and new soundtrack is so cool. Looking forward to seeing this project complete
I'm so hyped for this, so please don't give up! Just take your time, take breaks, and work on it when you feel like it!
The designs you made with the custom tiles look mesmerizingly beautiful! It would be a shame to let it go to waste..
Exactly.
Finally someone who understands and can explain the pains of crafting music for these old GBA games 😭
i have a new video dropping in about 30 minutes going in depth on some more of the pain!
Not only does the project look really amazing, this was great motivation for someone who started working on a fan game 5 years ago with a team. Very excited to see where you go from here
what’s the fan game about?
If this ever gets out on a physical cartridge I’d love to get one! This is amazing dude! Love all the work you’ve put into it, take care of your hand and take breaks! Health is no joke for artists! Wishing you the best of luck on completing the game. ❤️
the game doesn’t even work and you’re asking for a physical cartridge? lmao
Was thinking the exact same thing
That would be illegal to make into a physical cartridge
@@thunderlordabove420 no, selling it would be illegal. Simply putting it onto physical carts would be legal gray area, just look at Pokemon AshGray (an ROM hack)
@@thunderlordabove420 maybe he could make it a thing you could patch the chip to have the rom on using the original rom
My friend linked me to this video and I was instantly filled with joy. I'm an on-and-off member of the romhack community (I mainly do art assets and character designs, as I'm the current character designer for Pokemon Gaia, so thanks for the shoutout to sphericalice!! lol) This looks really promising, honestly if I wasn't busier nowadays I would love to contribute to some stuff in the character department. The OST feels very nostalgic too haha, love it!! Regardless, I really love how all of this looks, I really encourage you to take your time and not overwork yourself, but simultaneously cheer you on and say that I'm looking forward on what this project has to offer!!!!
that's awesome! i was listening to a bunch of gaia's ost when i was working on the music for my own project. loved the regi remixes in it. also loved the character designs! appreciate the kind words :)
oh hey rev!
looks like we are from a similar part of the vocal synth/rom hacked pokemon venn diagram,,,
Dude. I totally agree. I'm 32. Haven't played Pokemon in like 10 years. Then after playing Scarlet I went back to Soul Silver.
im 26 and love the old games so much but want something new so i play rom hacks now lol
This video deserves much more attention and your will to keep going after all this time and issues is commendable. I'm subscribing to make sure when this game does come out I can be one of the first to play. Never give up.
Rooting for you, friend. Good luck on the rest of your journey.
This was really interesting, and the OST sounds great! This is looking to be a great gen 3-rom hack!!
As someone who is currently in the middle of making their own Pokemon fan game, I can defo relate to just how frustrating it can be to make them. But I can also relate to that feeling of fun and gratification that comes with making your own version of a children's game you're passionate about!!
Good luck with your journey!!!
The game looks great for gen 3
Looks better than the new games.
@@gustavomartins364 It doesn't WTF is wrong with you.
While it might to a large degree be personal preference the new games really do not look that good, at least not when compared to what it could have been like if the games were made by an actually competent studio and focused on quality games rather than shitting out something half baked every year.
@@hygormotasantos4035 even 'advanced 3d technology' has standards you need to compare to other projects using that technology, and on average, the latest 3d games are pretty basic graphics wise
@@hygormotasantos4035 objectively yes it does look better wdym
Keep up the good work!! It looks really good so far and im confident you'll get it together eventually!
You got my respect, I love the enthusiasm! Way better than what Gamefreak has shown in the last 10 years. Keep it up, I'm rooting for you
Chris :-)
passion projects that get too big for your britches are a classic move but you learn a shit ton from them, it may suck when you kind of fumble around but in the end you get a lot more out of it than you "lost"
Can't wait to see this complete, I've never played a pokemon from hack but I trust that you have a good idea of what makes the GBC, GBA, and DS games so good, good luck!!!!!!!
I watched this video and thought to myself "how haven't I seen this guy before... he must have 100s of thousands of subs??" then i saw how many you had and bro I'm shocked. Your content is so well made and I really hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves. I started making a PKMN game using RPGM XP like 3 months ago and it's so hard, so mad mad respect for you for making such an insane project. Don't give up!
this looks amazing fr. hope you finish it man, i really hope you finish it!
Your project sounds amazing! Tbh, this rally makes me want to follow in your footsteps and jump in as well. I hope your project does come together because I would absolutely love to play it!
Dammit. Now you've got me thinking of trying to make my own.
Lol same. Somehow "I spent 2 years on this and injured myself and also it's broken" got me thinking "hmm... I should try this"
😂 Same here
Knowing what goes into making a game is really eye opening to what the developers of games go through. Because while personal projects can have no set deadlines, developers can't have that luxury.
The fact games exist at all is astounding.
Dude I popped over to check out the ds sound track and holy crap. You're extremely talented and I do hope to see a finalized project here in the future. On go brother man, your efforts are noticed and appreciated!
Brother, this is SICK!! you GOTTA push through man, I'm rooting for you!
This is an insane project, well done. This video was so interesting from start to finish, and if you have more content like this I can't wait to see more. I really hope the romhack turns out well, and I cannot wait to play it.
thank you! I’m planning on covering some more stuff similar to this, hopefully a rom music one is coming up soon
@@chris-piche I'm very interested too!
where did this channel come from 😳
where did you come from
@@chris-piche idk but I don't remember not being here
Good luck!! I hope this goes smoothly the rest of the way, excited to try this out :D
So glad to be blessed by the algorithm today and discovering your channel. Fell in love and subscribed after the first few seconds. Better late than never!
I was a romhacker a long time ago. Never got super far into anything, and I'm pretty sure I never helped on anything that got published, but man.. This is making me intensely nostalgic and wanting to go back and try to really start something again.
Do it
This was a delightful recommendation. I love the project, love the editing, and love the passion you put into all of this. Reminds me of when I started making a small “adjustment rom hack” to let my friends try an easy Nuzlocke in Emerald. Didn’t finish that one but now I’m feeling inspired!
I’m sticking around here, like your style man.
You're an actual legend.
Wish you all the best with the rest of the developement!
Dude i respect your dedication so much and i hope you get this finished cause it seems like something i would like to play
I have been playing pokemon since gen 3 so this makes me so happy to see the effort and love you are putting in. Can't wait to play this once you finish!
The fact this is your first video in this style is very impressive you're already great at editing and timing and voiceover I'm sure the video alone took hours apon hours apon hours much less making a full game for nothing but passion and love is very inspiring for me I'm so glad this blew up
holy shit this looks so dope. excited to play this when you eventually finish it! don't rush yourself!
i love hearing about projects like this! it makes me happy to see people do stuff like this :D so much passion
It really seems like you're on to what will be one of the best Pokemon games we'll ever see. I seriously hope you finish this and can release it to the world for us all to enjoy. Imagine seeing the videos of people trying what you've worked so hard on, walkthrough videos, tips, showing every new feature that we've always wanted GameFreak to put into a game.
I know the dedication to projects like this from a music prospective and its gut wrenching to not finish what you've poured everything into for so long.
I cant wait for this to be completed and released! Thank you in advance for something all of us will cherish and remember.
Keep going!
I really hope you complete this, it looks incredible so far, especially with the details you were talking about adding 🤩
Looking to start a project of my own so I’m glad I found this video. Looking forward to your work as it continues and I’m hoping I retain some things from today.
It is looking so good! I really want to play it! We are with you and we are rooting for you. Your hard work will pay off. Never give up!! 👏🏻
Keep it going bro. This was so cool to watch and can’t wait to see the end product. Please don’t give up, seeing this inspired fellow coders like myself to keep creating. You got this!
The game looks great. Hopefully you get everything figured out.
I'm really looking forward to the completion of this project. I've never played a RomHack, but this video has perked my interest immensely. Good luck working on this spectacular project and work hard. Cheers.
Damn, this got me inspired to revisit my hack back from college, another never-ending, no deadline game. The feeling of making a successful code with no experience...the beautiful art of mapping...the music making...So many proud moments
Time spent learning and creating something is never worthless, man. You'll keep at least part of the knowledge you acquired, and remember your past mistakes and how to avoid them. That's not a bad thing at all.
Beautifully said right there. This is how I try to look at everything in my life whenever I start to think it’s a “waste of time”. Great tool to change your perspective when needed!
Thank you for sharing your frustrations with Sappy so eloquently, every GBA romhacker who has ever dealt with music hacking knows the pain
So true!
i really like that you point out the problem of adding stuff to a project all the time. it is a really good to make a doc at the beginning that limits you because we are idiots and we will try to put everything in our projects
I really hope you finish this because what I've seen looks real fun
this video was fantastically well made, i love when content creators put care and love into their projects
How is this video so professionally made? You have a natural talent for being a content creator.
Great vid. Looking forward to playing your rom one day!
I really wish I had a stronger grasp on this kind of stuff, cause honestly the idea of making romhack pokemon games have always been such an interesting idea to me. Just getting into pokemon projects is such a blast. When I was way younger I worked on /vp/'s Pokemon Sage, just sketching fakemon designs and junk. While it wasn't always the smoothest experience (because it was on 4chan of all things) just being part of a big community group and seeing what designs made the voting cutoffs was such a thrilling feeling.
I really hope you keep going with this cause it really looks like some gorgeous work!
Lovely art direction. I am excited to see your progress. Gen 3 can looks so good
It doesn’t matter what anybody says to you, you’re a legend already
I started my own recently, when I am feeling down on it or wanting to quit out of frustration I will be returning here for the inspiration to continue, thanks for the video chris.
I'm more excited for this than anything Gamefreak will put out, I can sense the love and passion behind it. Keep going man!
This video is way too fun and well-edited to be your first video 😄 keep it up!
we're rootin for ya
cant wait till the rom's out!!❤
Looking forward to seeing the complete version of the game! Take all the time you need :)
ETA: “We’ll get there when we get there.”
Ngl, I am very intrigued by your Rom. Just by hearing you talk I can see the passion you’ve put into it. I am excited to see the final project, because I know it’s gonna be better than any other Rom we’ve played for awhile. Godspeed good sir 🫡
Wow dude I’m really surprised by how much this looks promising please finish it when you feel rested and ready
Your ideas are great man I'd love to get a shot at something like this if you get it running
man I was waiting to finish your video to download this ROM and play it, finish it man we're all behind you !
You can't make me watch the whole video and then at the end find out you haven't finished haha! I look forward to the finished product when ever that will be, don't rush, taking time away from things is great as you will normally come back with a fresh head to work away! You got this!
Bro really made a whole game
well…almost
Buddy this project looks amazing! Keep at it, you've done an incredible job so don't let the dream die!
Dude, you're pretty much an inspiration, like you keep saying you're old but that's literally the mindset I have, and yet you managed to make something that's kinda functional despite lacking a lot of coding knowledge (Like you say it's a failure, but honestly you done a lot considering you started from nothing.), honestly an inspiration!
I hope you finish this bad boy, the custom tiles and sprites are looking really spicy!
this romhack looks so damn good, can't wait for you to finish it!
If you ever finish this, I take my sweet time to play it! I hope you rest well and decide to try again someday, I'll be following your channel to see what you're up to in the meantime! I really enjoyed listening to your story!
This project sounds so cool. Take your time, cant wait to see it!
I would love it if a discord was made for this ROM hack. It has so much potential and looks gorgeous. Its a game I can foresee myself sinking a lot of hours into and I would really love to be there the moment the beta drops.
I am mesmorized on how amazing this video is, the explanations and how you keep it so interesting. I cannot wait for the next update.
This looks/sounds amazing. I'd definitely play. Can't wait!!
Dude, this is sick! Great video walkthrough as well
The project looks so ambitious and amazing, awesome work! One of my favorite aspects of new Pokemon games coming out is having the newer pokemon, moves and other QOL features backported into previous gen 3/4/5 roms and how it pushes the roms to be really creative with their limitations, they just play such much better imo. Gen 3 rom hacks are my personal favorite, can't wait to check out a release if you continue with it!
Seriously you are so talented. Coding, music, and art and lord knows what else. This game is going to be amazing keep up the insane work!
Never give up man. Keep on keepin on!!
Subbed! Finsih this project! Can't wait to play it! It looks incredible!
I've spent the last almost 3 years developing a fangame myself and its honestly been a super fun experience making the game and building a community of people that's enjoyed my work... good luck on your adventure!
What is it called?:)

@@ayrei1503 You got social media?
Bro I've made 2 rom hacks in the past and the amount of broken-game shenanigans I've had to endure was heartbreaking. I feel your pain, man, I trully do. The game itself looks absolutely amazing so congrats on making such a great thing even if it doesn't work yet. Much luck
damn, this is super cool! cant wait to see this once you're done! good luck! you got this!
I have to say, I really appreciated your commentary on the rom hacking process. I remember spending over a year on a rom hack when I was in high school almost 20 years ago, and this brought back a lot of memories. I hope you keep it up and finish this. I'm looking forward to its completion. You gained a new fan today! I'm rooting for you!
I love the aesthetic you've accomplished! PLEASE FINISH THIS!!!
I'm not going to lie, just listening to the soundtrack alone gave me the happiness I had when I first played Pokémon Red on the Game Boy! You have my support 110%! I also LOVE the name for this game!
You've done the greatest thing ever for an OG pokemon fan, this is amazing. Its like a dream come true
Amazing Video. I hope youll continue it, it looks incredible
Literally community mods ALWAYS outdo the main games in every single genre to date.
This is a sad reality
