Creating My First Pokémon ROM Hack: Live Development Stream

Hello everyone! Today, I am thrilled to share my journey as I take on the exciting challenge of creating my very first Pokémon ROM hack. It’s a fantastic opportunity to dive into the world of game development, creativity, and community interaction. This stream will be unlike any other, and I am excited to engage with all of you in real-time. Together, we will explore the ins and outs of Pokémon ROM hacking, and I can’t wait to bring you along for the ride!

Why Pokémon ROM Hacking?

Pokémon ROM hacking is a way for fans to modify existing Pokémon games, creating custom stories, regions, characters, and mechanics. It’s a fascinating blend of coding, art, and storytelling that allows us to express our love for the Pokémon universe in unique ways. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a complete beginner, there’s always something new to learn and discover in the world of ROM hacking.

In this stream, I will be walking you through the basics of starting a ROM hack, sharing tips and tricks, and hopefully inspiring others to embark on their own projects. By sharing this experience, I hope we can learn from each other and foster a community of passionate creators.

Stream Rules

To create a welcoming atmosphere and ensure everyone has a great time, I would like to establish a few rules for the stream. Following these guidelines will help maintain a positive environment for everyone involved:

Be Nice to Other Viewers: This stream is a place for everyone to enjoy and learn. Let’s keep the conversation kind and respectful, avoiding spam and trolling.
Limit Discussions about Other VTubers: Please refrain from bringing up other content creators unless I mention them first. This will help keep the focus on our creation and the experience we’re sharing.
Respect Boundaries: It’s essential to foster a comfortable environment. Please avoid making comments that could make me or other viewers feel uneasy.
Ignore Spam and Trolling: If you see someone spamming or trolling, don’t engage. Instead, block or report those comments, and let’s keep the stream as enjoyable as possible.
Stick to English: To keep things manageable, please try to chat in English, as we currently don’t have the means to moderate other languages effectively.
Do Not Share Your Age: For privacy reasons, please avoid mentioning your age in the chat.
Stay on Topic: Let’s try to keep our conversations related to ROM hacking and Pokémon. This way, we can maintain a focused and productive stream.
No Roleplay (RP): While roleplaying can be fun in many contexts, let’s keep this stream centered on development and learning.

Tools and Resources

Throughout the stream, I will showcase a variety of tools and resources that can help you get started with your own ROM hacking projects. This includes popular editing software, community forums where you can ask questions and share your progress, and even tutorials that will guide you through specific aspects of development.

I’ll be using some fantastic background music from GlitchXCity, and I’d like to give a special shoutout to Sol Kamigawa for the amazing reactive image that will accompany our livestream. Additionally, Oddtop has created a beautiful BGM and room scene that will make our stream feel immersive. You can check out their works to enhance your own projects!
