Retro Gaming News: Pokemon Elite Black & Elite White

"

Description:

In-game Pokemon battles used to be a great chance for new trainers to learn more about battling and to have fun with the Pokemon video games. This hack is not for such people. Over the course of 5 months, the best and most annoying Pokemon sets, Pokemon teams and battle strategies have all been construed together in this one-of-a-kind Pokemon hack. No longer is a trainer considered strong because of a few higher levels or one or two items being held by one of their Pokemon.

Ace Trainers will stop at nothing to destroy your team, gym leaders doing whatever they can to stop you from getting their badge and the need for an increasing amount of recovery items make your new journey around the Unova region an extremely painstaking one. You will have to use the Amulet Coin, spend all your money on recovery items and make tough in-battle sacrifices just to make it through each route in this new transformation of the Unova region. You will have to keep those recovery items close at hand as you journey through this new transformation of a Pokemon game.

Features:

Complete moveset overhauls for every in-game trainer.

Pokemon variety - assuming you beat every trainer in the game, you will have seen every non-legendary pokemon in the national pokedex.

Economy deficit - Unova trainers now have half the money they normally had. however, The Riches and Ladies have grown to power, having over 4x the money they normally had.

Gym Leader upgrade - All gym leaders have much harder teams, with much higher levels than the original pokemon Black and White.

Short Insight:

Many trainers have a special upgrade or characteristic that makes their pokemon more unique or the trainer having different items in their bag. Most classes have a certain group of pokemon that they all use, such as scientists having mysterious pokemon such as elgyem, and doctors having healing pokemon such as Audino.

Clerks

Clerks have access to all TMs. While most trainers’ TM choices are restricted based on where they are, clerks can use any that they wish on their pokemon (that can legally learn them). Be careful!

Ace Trainers & Veterans

These trainers are in to win it all. They often use full 6-Pokemon teams, many of which are exact copies of good competitive battlers. PDC, SnorlaxDude and a few other top PO battlers have helped in creating teams for these trainers.

Doctors & Nurses

They have access to very powerful healing items. Don’t be surprised if they use revives or full restores, or even max revives!

The Riches

These people, as you might guess, are rich. In a region full of low-wage trainers, these people are a relief to battle against. Unfortunately, their pokemon difficulty will make the monetary reward much to be earned!

Thanks To:

Retro Gaming News: Dig Dug Redug

"

Description:

Dig Dug Redug was DragonDePlatino’s first hack, made over the course of 4 days. A complete graphical overhaul of the NES version of Dig Dug, this hack changes all the graphics and palettes to be a lot more detailed. It also enlargens the characters a bit and added more detail to the caves. Enjoy!

Note: The palettes look best (like those in the screenshots) if you use the default YY-CHR palette."

Retro Gaming News: Custom Tools

"Unlike regular commands, the command Tools don’t load the attack data from a data table. Instead, all attack data from the Tools command are implemented directly in assembly code. Because of it, all Tools items can’t be fully customizable.

The patch changes the data loading for the Tools command. It now loads the data from the general table of spells and attacks. With the editing of the Tools items, it is possible to define custom attacks and animations for all eight tools items.

The patch is aimed for hackers and it is plain useless for players-only.

Pirate Game of the Week 066: Rockman X3 (Genesis)

I've recently come across this pirate game and it's definitely interesting. Someone got really mad that the X series never made it to the Sega Genesis and decided to take matters into their own hands. Here comes Rockman X3 for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive!

The music is bleh...I guess they tried to work on the gameplay but that definitely doesn't work as well. It's a bootleg after all so it's only fair to say that it's not publisher quality if anything. 

The graphics are alright and definitely looks Capcom like. The levels are pretty good and you have a feel that you're playing a Capcom Megaman X game...until the gameplay strikes...

The gameplay is forgettable. They just didn't polished the game as much as you would think so. The game is just tough but not impossible to play. 

The game is fun to pick up and play and definitely worth a shot. It takes you a bit to get used to the controls but don't give up! 

If you're a huge Mega Man fan then definitely go for it. You'll find a tough challenge in this one.

Retro Game of the Week 137: Donkey Kong Classics (NES)

What's better than one amazing game? Two amazing games in one! The NES cart brings Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr in one! The games are quite addictive but short. The whole point though is the high score. How high can you go?

The music is nothing but a classic eargasmic feeling! It's the classic Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr after all so there is definitely not much to say except that it executes to perfection. 

The graphics are old but great. Believe it or not, these graphics are still amazing to this day. There is a new trend where 8-bit graphics are just in and everything else is just lame. Love it! 

Gameplay is infinite and fun! Your main goal is to get the highest score! That's about it. 

Since getting the high score is your goal, what better replay value can you ask for? Challenge a friend and see who's top dog!

A true classic for a true classic console. The classics are definitely worth a pick up and play. Believe me, you'll have a blast!
