Having rock and ground type always annoyed me. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

In my mind these are essentially the same thing. Ever since I was a kid playing Red, it annoyed me so much and I still think about it sometimes.

They made it even worse by making ~~all~~ most of the rock types also ground types in the beginning.

There is so much I'd love to see changed about this series. I doubt anything will ever seriously change to my liking. I think the best thing is to play romhacks or other games that capture the spirit of pokemon.

Do you have any recs for romhacks?

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I’m only just getting into it, but I’m playing Pokemon ultra violet.

Is a hack of fire red and it is pretty vanilla, but you can catch all the Pokemon and but have to trade for trade evolutions.

Also, you can choose a starter like normal or go to some kind of safari zone and get something else. I caught a ghastly as my starter.

Nice, I’ll have to look into that one.

A couple that I’ve been following are:

Pokemon Lazarus, an emerald romhack in a new region based on Greece. Lots of custom pixel art for the trees/architecture/terrain and apparently has megas.
Pokemon KEP, a red hack that adds some of the original beta Pokemon back in to the game along with regional variants of Kanto Pokemon, and adds a couple new locations/characters/music/features.
Pokemon Extreme Yellow which adds in some of the Kanto megas as final evolutions. A bunch of other goodies too such as expanded maps, quality of life stuff, crazy hard puzzles. The creator is trying to implement a bunch of other crazy stuff for an unreleased update including diving mechanics.

Not true. The 1st gen fossil pokemon are rock/flying and rock/water.

~~Yes,~~ You are correct. My intent was to point out that ~~although~~ your average player would be exposed to the Geodude line, the Rhyhorn line, and Onix significantly more often than any of the fossil Pokemon.
