  • When it comes to Pokemon rom hacks, there are a few that stand out from the crowd for their immense quality, attention to detail, and overall sense of direction.
    Pokemon Unbound by Skeli is well known to be one of those games, and, in my opinion, continues to be the cream of the crop years after it's full, completed release.
    If you don't know about Pokemon Unbound yet, it's basically a wholly original Pokemon game, hacked on top of Pokemon FireRed, with a huge new region, tons of customization, features and Pokemon that go all the way to Generation 8...
    and some features that are even unique to itself, AND, on top of all of that, an actually engaging story-line that takes many creative turns alongside introducing many interesting characters and histories.
    All centred around Hoopa Unbound, the mascot Pokemon for the game, but that's far from all the game has to offer. It is densely packed with content, and all of it is highly engaging.
    To top it all off, it's the premier way of showcasing the Complete FireRed Upgrade, which Skeli also developed as a means to allow for future rom hacks to be more robust with even more features than previously thought possible in GBA rom hacking.
    If you're not already aware of Unbound, it's the best of the best, and well surpasses the standards of quality of the official franchise releases.
    It's a must-play, and I'm gonna tell you exactly why that's the case.

    Oh man, it just occured to me that I haven't commented in your Mario Golf Super Rush video from 2 weeks ago, when I really wanted it to say something about it, I think I brushed it aside because I got other problems to deal with, I don't wanna to give much detals but I've being through hell recently, my dad got the dengue infection and mostly everything stopped here in my house, including production of the video I'm making, thankfully he is feeling considerably better and this week I will go back to make that video and others a reality.
    Ps. I realize hell might be too strong of a word to describe the situation, but because of my anxiety it feels like at times, but you don't need to worry too much now.

      I am really sorry to hear about your dad. I'm glad to know he's feeling better. I know those times when things get tough.
      Don't worry about commenting on my Super Rush video, I appreciate you opening up and talking about whats going on, regardless. You are a valued subscriber and viewer, so there's no pressure ever to comment on my videos. I'm just happy that you enjoy them, and that's more than enough for me.
      I hope too that your video gets back into production soon, as I'm excited to watch it when it comes out. Obviously though things in your personal life need to take a bigger priority. I hope all is well, and that your father gets back to 100% quicker than expected.

    I absolutely loved my time with Unbound. The only complaint I had was that the amount of battles against legendaries got kind of exhausting after a bit - but everything else was top notch. Even the cave/dungeon sections were enjoyable and those are rarely done well in romhacks.
    Haven’t done any of the postgame yet, but I would like to at some point. Though I didn’t know there is a NG+ mode?? What carries over there?

    • @anotherblowncartridge
      @anotherblowncartridge  3 місяці тому +2

      I'm not sure what carries over, but I think it's just another level of difficulty and challenge. I remember reading somewhere that there was a NG+.

Inventing a stick shouldnt give you the rights to every tool with a handle. You cant be copying something, if you improved upon it. Ironically if pokemon ever improved upon its formula it would be stealing ideas came up with by rom hackers years ago.

    I did start playing this one a while ago, but the first gym being themed around weed *really* took me out of it, cause it just made it hard to take the game seriously. Figured if it was willing to do something stupidly edgy like that once, it was gonna do it again. But since you've said it seemingly ended up removing some of that stuff (I.E.: Houndoom murder), I gotta ask, was that also changed?
    If not, that's unfortunate, but I hope my original assumption was wrong and that that's just a one-time occurrence, cause I genuinely am interested in this game since people love it so much. I *want* to like this game.

    • @anotherblowncartridge

      The first gym is grass type themed, but it is not about weed anymore. It's become much more child-friendly and accessible for everyone. It's very easy to take seriously nowadays.

    • @anotherblowncartridge
      @anotherblowncartridge  2 місяці тому +5

      That's a good question. I'd actually recommend doing a playthrough of either FireRed or Emerald first. But if your only choices are Unbound and Clover, I'd suggest Unbound.
      I have yet to play Clover, and I don't tend to play Pokemon games with Fakemon (fan-created, non-canon Pokemon) so I can't tell you if you should or shouldn't play it. But Unbound is great regardless of whether or not you've played a Pokemon game, before. Just might have a tough endgame challenge for someone going in with no prior franchise experience.
