Hey, I’m Nemo622, the developer of Emerald Seaglass! What are the odds that UA-cam would recommend this to me, huh? This is such a fun idea, I’m honored you’re playing my hack for this project! I’ll certainly be following this channel! :)
I'm so glad you got to see this!! I'm just now realizing that I didn't even shout you out in the video, so sorry for that! I'll make sure to add in the description that you're the dev so people can check you out and give you a follow 💚
This is awesome to see. Its really great to see how many people have been inspired by nighthawk. keep goin man. you have something really special here.
I loved these guides sooooo much as a kid. I've always been a reader, and would even read the smallest leaflet in a DS game packaging. With the guides, we'd bundle up as a group and just soak in all that knowledge over and over again and discuss about the best attacks, abilities, our favourite places and trainers, etc etc. We used it so much it completely disintegrated into a pile of loose pages... RIP Diamond & Pearl guide book
I think IRL pokemon journals to keep track of goals/progress and creating a physical artifact of your experience playing the game are some of the most under explored aspects of playing this game. I also always wished that all these amazing rom hacks came with strategy guides you could thumb through
Thank you for showing those guides. I never knew something like that existed. I remember as a kid reading the manual that came with Pokemon Diamond in the hope of finding something new about the game and the Sinooh region so if I had one of these I would've probably read it all the way start to finish. Funnily enough, while looking for a PDF of the book I even learned something new all these years later. Apparently according to it, if you defeat a legendary by accident you can make them respawn by defeating the elite 4 and the champion (at least some of them). I havent tested this but if true, it's a piece of info I never knew all these years. Also your journal looked cool. Not my kinda thing but I can see why people would enjoy using it :)
Im doing the same right now (tho on Twitch) for Gen 4 and soon Gen 5. Nostalgic Nighthawk is such an amazing inspo! Imma Stick around here aswell, your vibes are super chill.
I’m about to start an emerald sea glass playthrough too so this was really nice to see. The book is really well done. Honestly I’m impressed with your video and your channel seems to be doing very well so far, Cheers 🎉
@@bockrottom4877 I used PhotoShop to touch up some elements (like the berries) with minor color correction or to add outlines, and then I used Canva for the layout of the journal itself. The template is in the description so you're welcome to alter it however you want to get a design you're happy with! Just keep in mind that a lot of the elements in the journal are for Canva Pro users so those may need to be swapped out, but if you like the journal as it is then I included a link to a printable PDF that is ready to go! Make sure you print double-sided and select "Flip on Short Edge" 😄
wow that scrapbook/notebook is awesome! I should add some cool pictures and stuff in mine. My books are pretty bland XD Also thanks for the shout out and adding to the community. It does truly means a lot seeing others share their love for pokemon like this. Keep it up!! Would love to see more I bet many other do too.
It makes me very happy that you liked the journal and the video, your style of content is so unique and has genuinely made me fall back in love with Pokemon in a new way. Please make sure to show us if you decide to add any visual elements to your notebooks, for as much as I love writing I think I prefer the scrapbooking element a tiny bit more :)
Just a note that the audio is very low on this video. I had to crank my volume up to 100% and still a bit hard to hear. Okay I'm gonna go watch the video now :)
I love physical pokemon media as well. Also, I would encourage you to reach out to the artist instead of just waiting to see if they're okay with that.
@@toxicink72 definitely a good idea, I loved this piece so much but I'm going to see about commissioning an artist to do a dedicated piece of cover art for this and any future work of this kind
You know I really don't like when people say they don't like the way a particular poke game looks but honestly Seaglass looks awful with the white outlines. If the outlines were black or at least dark it wouldn't bother me but I tried to play it and just couldn't get past the white outlines. So what did you mean when you talked about a Poke game having "energy"? What does that even mean??? Are you saying you didn't like it because it kept the turn based mechanic?
@@Raphtor13 Not exactly, I didn't have an issue with the games still being turn-based. I meant more in terms of the dedication of the team behind Pokemon Legends: Arceus to optimize the game for Switch so it runs well (though it certainly isn't perfect, just better than Scarlet/Violet) and also the fact that elements introduced in PLA were missing in SV. I personally loved the emphasis on exploration that was present in PLA but haven't yet felt that from SV nearly as much, and I also loved the fact that in PLA you could move around in the middle of a battle so seeing that feature not make it into SV was a bit disappointing. I also learned they didn't keep the catching mechanic from PLA which was also a feature I loved, though it's possible they added it into the game and I simply didn't know about it. Hopefully that better articulates what I was referring to when I mentioned the game's "energy" :)

It too have started a Nighthawk journey. Playing the game slowly adds sooo much to the experience

Yep this is true! This is something my friends told me, because they had played the game so many times and figured it out 🙂
Love this! I did something like this as a kid with Soul Silver, using stickers and drawings in my notebook. Very nostalgic, subscribed ❤
Excited for this. Watching nostalgic nighthawk as well this is a very cool idea.
Im doing the same right now (tho on Twitch) for Gen 4 and soon Gen 5. Nostalgic Nighthawk is such an amazing inspo! Imma Stick around here aswell, your vibes are super chill.
I love it when the algorithm actually works and pushes me to stories I want to follow. I like the idea and the vibes. I'm right with ya
Same man. This video is right up my alley
Just discovered nostalgia nighthawk recently and now you. I’d love to do a journal playthrough like you guys one day
Do it! I'm trying to get like them too but my camera holds me back
I’m about to start an emerald sea glass playthrough too so this was really nice to see. The book is really well done. Honestly I’m impressed with your video and your channel seems to be doing very well so far, Cheers 🎉
Good shit bro! If I had a better camera I could get like you but either way congrats!
This is awesome! I can't wait to see more from this channel!
Also, what program did you use to design this journal?

Subscribed! I'm also printing out the journal and trying emerald sea glass!
@@NerbPrincess So glad to hear! I hope you enjoy the whole process! ☺️
Book looks official asf
Just a note that the audio is very low on this video. I had to crank my volume up to 100% and still a bit hard to hear. Okay I'm gonna go watch the video now :)
Definitely noted!
Came here to say the same think. Just commenting for the algorithm. Thanks
The diamond and Pearl guide was in two parts the second part had the Pokédex and items list
That's interesting! I noticed they had done that for HGSS but I didn't know they also did it for DP before Platinum, thanks for the info!
@ no problem the only reason I know is because I bought both back in the day, I love playing through the games with the guides
I modded my switch and also im having fun playing pokemon!!
how were you able to get pokémon emerald on your switch? did you use homebrew?
I love physical pokemon media as well. Also, I would encourage you to reach out to the artist instead of just waiting to see if they're okay with that.
@@toxicink72 definitely a good idea, I loved this piece so much but I'm going to see about commissioning an artist to do a dedicated piece of cover art for this and any future work of this kind
@admnPB Great idea, great job, great video can't wait to see more
I’m so curious how you got the rom hack on your switch, is it jailbroken?
