Added, and still working on the rules.

And yes, it is understood there is no cheating allowed (as far as outside of the game is concerned)
I just meant no using hacked Pokemon and the such. I don't give a fuck what you do to your games outside of Pokemon.

Genning doesn't count as cheating by the way. Any manipulation within a wifi battle just results in a disconnect, a crash, and there are no publicly available cheats that have that kind of power.

If that's frowned upon, you can take out my entry, and take this middle finger to you as well.

What do you mean by genning? I'm referring to save editing with shit crazy stats and moves. Sure, legal Pokemon that are obtained through save editing but are still legal is simply frowned upon; though using illegal Pokemon shouldn't be allowed.

The game won't actually let you use them online at all as far as I know. They did in XY Free Battle but those days are long gone ;O;

Crazy stat editing can't be done in this generation for one, I'm pretty sure the wifi checks still go for Friend-to-Friend battling, meaning illegal move combinations won't be allowed anyways. So you're complaining about nothing essentially.

Sorry, haven't played this gen yet. Just started 5 min ago. I was thinking of the days of X and Y online.

The OP has been updated with everyone above !

Yeah, the online checks more or less work.

* very difficult to use an illegal/super-hacked pokemon online...or even in online trades *

Because of that, I am going to be very lenient about "Genned" Pokémon.

More or Less if your team passed the Wi-Fi check with the rules applied...your team is legal for this tournament.

Do we register ourselves on the bracket or will you fill it out yourself?

@bennyman123abc

Since this will start as a Round Robin, I will setup/finalize the brackets at the end of the month.

Still working on the rules...thinking about giving each round/match at 48 hour window to complete their battle.

Fair, too much, or too little time ?

* doing this because of difference in people's time zones. *

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
