>Radical red isn’t supposed to be a balanced region.
No fricking shit, it's made to be a pain in the ass. >You play to use all your favorite shitmons that got cool buffs.
Except you can't do that because you can't overlevel and you need very specific teams to beat each gym or else frick you.
Maybe a forretress for hazards, slow pivot and defense. Also heracross cuz he’s cool and moxie plus sticky webs seems like it’s be pretty busted on an ingame team. Not sure what’s available at that point in the game since I haven’t played in a while.
1. I prefer inclement emerald. Hoenn is comfier.
2. locking mons behind rng time-locked dynamax raids is the sole reason I won't play it a second time
3. Dexnav triggers my autism and wasted a day of my life the 1 time I played.
It's too tedious. You need a new team for every trainer. The training QoL does not help when you have to make this many teams. Also I dislike how your opponents aren't fair battles, they purposely have access to better shit than you do. Also also, frick custom Pokemon in a battle sim rom.
>a new team for every trainer
Learn to adapt moron
Because I got filtered by the first Falkner fight.
I'm sure I could beat it if I thought about which Pokémon to use, but frick that. I wanna karengay as much as I want.
Karengayging is one of the most accessible things RR does, Falkner might be the worst part of the game until you get more teammates but there are always options
because it's cringe?
I play pokemon games to use the cool pokemon I love in a story while training to become the best. radical red is just the eugenics simulator of smogon with none of the fun in it.
There are lesser involved modes to play without le SmogonBoogyman anon, being obsessed itself is cringe
>You need a new team for every trainer.
I'm completely serious when I say this is why I love the game. On Minimal Grinding mode it's just a blast, I love constantly swapping different mons in and out of my team.
By the endgame you've probably sanded off the rough edges to create the perfect team; even then, you're not limited to only having a "meta" team. You can comfortably pick your 1-3 favorites even if they are mid and have the other half of your team cover their weaknesses and reasonably beat the game on Normal. It only gets autistic on Hardcore mode.
Radical Red (Normal, Min Grinding) is single player Pokemon gameplay at its absolute peak.
The gym leaders/E4 members don't feel special, they aren't doing anything different from a regular trainer because starting from Sabrina the stop monotyping which while not a Bad thing what they do start to do can't even be considered Theming either. It's just random comp teams with no flavoring. And don't get me started on the haphazard use of legendaries outside of Giovanni with Mewtwo. Why does Lorelei have Kyogre, Why does Bruno have fricking Zacian.

I think I deleted the .CIA file of the game for my 2ds because someone on /vp/ said it was shit.
They told me to download Pokemon Gaia because it is better.
Idk yet because I haven't played any of the custom Pokémon roms on my 2ds yet.
I may add more in, though idk where you find Pokémon Rom Hacks since Nintendo DMCAs them like mad.
Gaia is a hack that is the most true to Pokemon's regular formula while also being a brand new region with a good story. It's more Pokemon for people who like Pokemon.
Radical Red is more comp for people who like comp but don't want to play Smogon/ladder all the time
pokeharbor has never given me a virus and they ave fricking patched hacks lol I just got Emerald Rogue 1.32 and Rad Red 4 on my 3dsxl from there. My ds side loader is refusing to work
I play pokemon games to use the cool pokemon I love in a story while training to become the best. radical red is just the eugenics simulator of smogon with none of the fun in it.
For me, it's looking forward to the shitshow when Terastal gets added so Blue can use both Eternamax Eternatus AND Boss Terapagos in his Champion Team.
how the FRICK are romhacks still stuck in the dark age of difficultyhacks?
Literally where are all these great romhacks that were promised with better tools?
We have gotten ONE game that actually kind of takes advantage of shit with Emerald Rogue which was years ago.
Where are the new regions, where are the cool mechanics, where is the non difficulty autism shit?
The Rad Red devs have been working on their overrated bloated shitshow for half a decade at this point, by that point SURELY they could have made an actual game
Poketubers, specifically Hardcore Nuzlockers happened.
They can't be assed to play an actual original hack because those don't appease the algorithms, meanwhile the recognizable nature of Kanto and Hoenn do.
And since Rad Red got massive views for said Poketubers, all the hackers want clout too, so it's now their god given goal to get all of the ecelebs to stream their 50+ failures to show how ball-bustingly brutal their hack is because you have to use a capped Level 6 Caterpie to fight a Level 15 Zygarde 10% with perfect coverage and a Life Orb or some shit.
Her main eceleb boogeyman (Jan) barely even nuzlockes anymore. He's been trying to pivot to shitty video essays about comp and speedrunning for months now and rarely streams. Most of the smaller nuzlocke channels play other hacks too, but there isn't much substance to them so they usually only get 1-2 videos. Some exceptions are Emerald Rogue, Infinite Fusion, that moronic map randomizer meme etc.
I think her argument would make more sense if she complained about FlygonHG and SilphSpectre. Their monotype nuzlocke shit is fricking boring to watch.
Hacks without new regions or mons are much easier to make. Simple as. Go play gaia, clover and prism though. Great original hacks. Better yet, google “pokemon romhack original.” There are plenty. That being said, there are also a few games that don’t change much but are still really good. Pokemon pyrite for instance is my favorite way to play crystal. Radical red is for smogongays like me who enjoy building unique teams but need a break from sweating on the ladder. It is really a niche audience.
There hasn't been one since 4.0, which added all of the Paldea Pokemon at the time plus Walking Wake and Iron Leaves.
We'll probably get a 4.5 or 5.0 sometime next year once they figure out how to put Teras into the engine, that way Pokemon like Ogerpon and Terapagos can be running at full performance (as Pokemon meant for enemy teams only until you acquire their Gift Code, of course).
I started playing it then not long after the beginning I ran in to a pokemon that was just a pile of sand and a bucket and I was reminded of how fricking shit everything after gen 5 is
But you had no problem with the rock with arms, the pile of coconuts, the boxer in a skirt, the ganguro seductress, the pedophile, the OTHER pedophile or the literal doodle that came from a child?
Because I played Radical Reddit and it was genuinely the second-worst experience I've ever had with a pokemon game (first was Clovshit). It's not hard, it's just a puzzle game. You're given the pieces before each gym and are told "frick you, figure it out, if you have autistic compcheater knowledge you MIGHT succeed but frick you anyway". There's no sense of adventure, no fun to be had, no interesting changes, Radical Reddit is the worst fricking dogshit and it can go die in a fire.

Except you can't do that because you can't overlevel and you need very specific teams to beat each gym or else frick you.
did they make it worse in recent years? i played it a while back and it didn't seem all that bad. i certainly never had to swap out team members for any of the boss battles, though my team did naturally evolve as i went through the game.
Every update has made it worse and worse. Compounding changes upon changes while trying to maximise the effort needed to find the counter team for each next trainer fight.
I can't wait for Pokemon distribution to become even more strict once Terastalization is implemented, solely because a dual-type Pokemon could get a Tera Typing that sheds an otherwise glaring weakness it has to a major opponent's team.
And in that same vein, it'll be fun when they start stacking Mega Evolution AND Terastal on top of each other, meaning now you have to contend with shit like the final Giovanni fight involving Tera Boosted Expanding Force from Mega Mewtwo Y.
Every update has made it worse and worse. Compounding changes upon changes while trying to maximise the effort needed to find the counter team for each next trainer fight.
I see no point in playing "a romhack" that is just the game, not matter how many changes and cool things it has. Rather play a shitty, badly made game like Pokemon Wack, because it's a completely new experience. Same thing for fakemons.
i'm not autistic
>I’m not autistic
>browses vp
You’re at least mildly autistic anon
I'm too busy fricking your mother
I already played it like 2-3 years ago.
This. I can’t really play through a whole game these days. I just shitpost on /vp/ and play showdown randbats occassionally. :^|
inclement emerald is better
I don’t want 1200 mons crammed into a single fricking region
Radical red isn’t supposed to be a balanced region. You play to use all your favorite shitmons that got cool buffs.
Is there a version that keeps the gameplay mechanics but uses the original FRLG dex?
>Radical red isn’t supposed to be a balanced region.

I do.
Game has very little replay value when the game has the same 10 good mons available
Im stucked at Giovanni's first battle in my mono-bug run
Any advices?
I have a Larvesta, Scizor, Beedrill, Butterfree, Shedinja and an Araquanid
Maybe a forretress for hazards, slow pivot and defense. Also heracross cuz he’s cool and moxie plus sticky webs seems like it’s be pretty busted on an ingame team. Not sure what’s available at that point in the game since I haven’t played in a while.
Because it's shit.
Making a game moronic difficult does not make it good.
>moronic difficult
it's not difficult unless you play with hard mode rules
1. I prefer inclement emerald. Hoenn is comfier.
2. locking mons behind rng time-locked dynamax raids is the sole reason I won't play it a second time
3. Dexnav triggers my autism and wasted a day of my life the 1 time I played.

people fricking LOVE emerald rogue content, though?
They do, but you aren't seeing different flavors of roguelite hacks being made because of it that take different approaches to the concept, are you?
right, probably because it took actual skill to make and 99% of "romhackers" are unable to do anything more complex than editing trainer teams.

i'll throw jrose in the mix too. """"comfiness"""" aside he's terrible at what he does despite playing through gen 1 500 times

correct
I see, carry on and have a nice day then.
Too much smogonshit
Why would I? I hate Pokemon
>Radical Red
>Mega Houndoom on the cover
I haven't because I'm not in the intended demographic
I defeated Erika, but then had stop. I simply didn't have the time to optimize and experiment anymore
A real shame, I really enjoyed the challenge.
Kanto = shit
Inclement Emerald is way better is why

I enjoyed radical red for what it was but in general I agree that hacks with new regions are more fun.
I don't like challenge.
because I still haven't taken the time to put it on my flash cart to play on my gba
I want easy comfy romhacks, not third version games that go overboard with difficulty
>Kanto but smogon
Vomit
Playing through this romhack for the first time and don't reall have experience with higher level battling.
Can I get some thoughts on this team?
It's pretty decent though,the brave bird rock head Aerodactyl is a post game gift
