  • So.. Pokemon Chaos Black - one of the oldest Pokemon ROM hacks out there, which most likely has outlived many of you reading. Even though the fan-made game is now 20 years old, things like it's designs, bootleg antics and overall infamous reputation has made it be remembered as long as it has till this day, but what if it got a second shot in these modern times? Well, that's exactly what I'm here to answer in today's Pokemon ROM remake video!

    As hilarious as naming that mystery pokemon "Titleguy" is, I would also like to throw the name "Riposs" out there, as a combo of Rip-off, and Chaos. Seems fitting considering both those claws, and all the ripped stats the game uses lol

    it misses just one more pokemon to make a full team comp with the new redesign sprites, also i like how you pick the pokemon that you would redesign like, the starter from the romhack, the title on the romhack, the famous one that most people knows, the unique or cool design you might have in mind, and the exclusive legendary pokemon from the game

    As someone with no attachment to this game and having never seen any of the original sprites other than Mewthree, I have to say I love you what you did with these! Graag especially is one of my favorites (I love non-conventional sprites like Mawile so it instantly won me over). Titleguy was another great one considering just how little you had to work and the retractable claws were a really good idea. I also love the choice to make all of their new shinies inspired from their original glitchy shiny sprites. Great work as always! :D

    3:25/3:34 Getting stuck at Mt. Moon isn't a bug or glitch. It's the end of the romhack, which was left unfinished. Notice that the map is left unedited after Mt. Moon, because you weren't supposed to get there yet. So if you do bypass it, it just plays out like regular FireRed from that point on.

    • @WatsonDynamite

      the western fandom definition of "pseudo-legendary" also includes being a 3-stage evolutionary line and being in the "Slow" experience group, taking 1.25 million EXP to reach level 100, so Archaludon doesn't fit in the western fandom's definition of the category

    Funny idea (just for the memes): Shicoon never manages to evolve to his last form according to the new description you gave him, and inside the hack he evolves into a Pidgeot because Pidgeot was as a Placeholder, so... what if Shicoon evolves, but being such a small bug and being eaten by a Pidgeot for this reason Pidgeot appears in the Sprite of his last form? (basically Shicoon's last form is inside the Pidgeot)

    This is an interesting idea! Did you get the permission from the original creator to try this? I won't get on your case if you made this video without his blessing. Instead, I was only wondering.
    Truth to be told, I had thoughts of reimagining an old webcomic from my past. While I wasn't the original author of it, I was a coauthor on the first version of the webcomic. I was even good friends with the main author until we had a terrible disagreement. It's a long story, but he ended up deleting the first version and created a second version. As a result of the turmoil, both versions of the comic stick out in my mind. For at least a decade, the creator of the comic has seemingly disappeared off the face of the Internet, so I have no obvious way of reaching out to him.
