I didn’t want to have to do another #introsky but the pol*tics are creeping back in:

★ Pokemon
★ Nier Automata
★ Drakengard
★ Stardew Valley
★ Harvest Moon
★ Harvestella
★ Supervive
★ Art
★ Animation
★ Game Dev
★ Fandom
★ ENA
★ Jujutsu Kaisen
★ Demon Slayer

Need more passionate moots!
Occasionally in documenting a decomp (in this case Pokemon), you find a little gem that makes you feel a million times better about your own programming shortcomings.

The Pokemon Gen 4 games added a little something to the PokeCenters that I felt like Emerald was missing.

The GBA doesn’t quite have WiFi for the basement hub, but I do have a plan to get players connected to the internet. 👀

I’m seeing a lot of people asking for game codes recently so just a reminder to the small devs:

This is how your game ends up on G2A at a fraction of its worth.

Did you know that diagonal movement was programmed into the mainline Pokémon games as early as Gen 3?

The romhacking process for Pokemon Verdant Emerald is going well!

I’ve completed my suite of native speedup features that let you use emulator-like fast forward for most of the game (even on real hardware).

Fire apparently. It was rough to pull together even my favourite fire types (non-legendaries), but I think I got it:

Hard to believe these were the first Pokemon games I played. Still remember driving home with the box feverishly reading the packaged instruction manual.
On this day in 2002, 22 years ago, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire were first released.

The battle backgrounds in Pokemon Emerald are so lacklustre, so I’ve been making some tweaks for my romhack.

Here are my day and night versions of the plains background.

Alright lets take this from the top.

I’m Zatsu and I program things.

If you like Pokemon, keep an eye on this space.
