It's been a lot of work over a lot of time but I think I can finally share this...
PMD:EoS, but with all of the starters!
...Including Grookey, finally!!!!! 🥳
Introducing PMD: Expanded Sky!
This is a public mod available to download now! It adds in all starters from unova all the way to paldea, as well as zorua, axew and rockruff, and allows evolving eevee into sylveon.
Speaking of which, fairy type has been patched into the game! Disarming voice replaces milk drink and moonblast replaces judgement, which was unused.
Some non-traditional starters are no longer available as hero options in this due to lack of space, but are still available as partners. (Skitty can be chosen as a hero in version 1.0.0 only, so download that version instead of the latest if you wanna use her! Riolu and Shinx are available in version 1.2.1 and below)
If one of your faves was taken off the hero roster (eg vulpix, skitty, riolu, munchlax, etc), I have a tutorial here on how to quickly edit the patched file to put them back in :)
Several regional variants have been added! Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion are now available as potential evolutions for their respective base stages.
Partners across both rescue team and all three versions of explorers are available too, including Cubone, Munchlax, Machop, Vulpix, Riolu, etc
Sprites and portraits are courtesy of the brilliant PMD Sprite Repository and the many incredible artists who contribute to it!
Credits for all improvement patches, sprites and portraits are included in the download, as well as an explanation on how to patch the game and the full starter list.
The mod is split in two versions to accommodate all the partners - MIDDAY version and MIDNIGHT version. The download includes both, as well as the tool required to patch your game! You'll need a clean US copy of pmd eos at hand.
A full list of moves learned by newly added Pokémon can be found here, as well as info on how to evolve them and their IQ groups.
If you run into any issues, feel free to drop me an ask or DM and I'll see how I can help/what I need to fix!
You can find the download for this rom hack here!
Edits/updates noted under the cut:
(27/04/23)
The overall mod now has a name - expanded sky! Reflected earlier on in the post.
I've been informed that the included patching tool (XDelta) doesn't work on mac, and after some digging around and discussions in dms we found this tool works for Mac instead.
Added graphics to the post displaying which heroes and partners are part of the hack.
(11/05/23)
Added link to learnset compilation for all new pokémon.
(17/05/23) Version 1.1.0 has been released!
Sobble is now a starter, replacing Skitty (Skitty is still accessible by downloading v1.0.0 on the download page). Sobble is also now a partner in MIDNIGHT.
Zorua/Zoroark's moveset has been tweaked slightly
Base forms of all new starters can now be found in Oran Forest, and can be recruitable in the post-game. The new fire starters can also be found in Giant Volcano.
Extra portraits and sprites were added for Cubone, Psyduck and Machop. Like the rest of the new assets in this mod, these were imported from the PMD Sprite Repository, and credits are on the title screen and in the readme.txt.
Extra credits + more in-depth instructions for patching the game included in the readme.txt.
(18/05/23)
Added a link to a tutorial on swapping out heroes for others already existing in the game.
(22/05/23) - Version 1.1.1 has been released!
Fixed genders for female starter options on the quiz.
Updated Fuecoco to use new portraits and sprites. (Credits to Garbage)
(23/05/23) - Version 1.1.2 has been released!
Female starters from gens 5-9 can now evolve correctly (save for starters who don't have evolutions in the game yet - these are listed in the text file in the download)
Rockruff can now evolve, and Midnight Lycanroc's evolution method has been fixed to use the Lunar Ribbon as intended.
(15/06/23) - Version 1.2.1 has been released!
In 1.2.0, a second version of the mod was included in the zip compatible with melon emulator, and potentially others that were having issues with saving.
Fairy gummis were also made available as mission rewards and shop items.
There's a couple more things that can be seen in the changelog including bugfixes, but the main other thing promised was that Froakie and Litten can now evolve directly into Greninja and Incineroar. Due to an evolution flag not being set this ended up untrue, but has been fixed in 1.2.1.
This post claimed dazzling gleam is in the game, but it should've said disarming voice.
🆕 (10/03/24) - Version 1.3.0 has been released!
Dusk Lycanroc, Drizzile, Inteleon, Grookey, Axew and Fraxure have been added, as well as Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak an Hisuian Typhlosion.
Axew replaces Shinx in the hero roster, and Grookey replaces Riolu.
Additional portraits and sprites added for starter evolutions, including vanilla starters. Sleep animations have been copied over to EventSleep/Laying/Wake animations if missing.
Greninja erroneously had the same moveset as Froakie. This has now been fixed.
Credits are no longer displayed on the title screen.
Sprite, portrait and patch credits can now be viewed by talking to a Cyndaquil NPC on the crossroads.
Evolution help can also be accessed by talking to this same NPC.

Masterpost of sprites commissioned by Lux! Open images in a new tab to see them at full quality.
These sprites were supposed to be used for a project but, due to unforeseen circumstances, can no longer be used. I'm really happy with the work I did on these, so I went and got permission to post them, finally.
All of the 'mons and characters here (except for the old man) were designed by the very talented Greg Andrade. I'll pop down a link to his DeviantArt, where all of these designs are archived, and his Instagram, where he is currently posting on a regular basis.
I'm currently taking commissions for sprites like these!

Here are the things that making a Fire Emblem hack has taught me about both Fire Emblem and the community.
1. Writing a Fire Emblem story is incredibly difficult.
The format of Fire Emblem stories is incredibly hard to get a grasp on when you're designing around permadeath. Once a character joins your army you either have to completely take away any truly meaningful impact they have on the story or have their death just have them retreat, which a lot of players don't like. It's also very difficult to have story directly be integrated with the gameplay, and most often you have to settle for most of the story happening before and after the chapter's gameplay.
2. You need to accept that complete balance is impossible and often times more boring than the less balanced decision.
The FE community gives broken units and strats a hard time a lot, however it's important to consider that those things are only as broken as they are because of all the information available about them. It's also worth noting that incredibly strong units or items can be fun when not being so absurdly busted that you have to actively try to not let the game break itself. We often times get so obsessed with having every unit, weapon type, and item balanced that we forget that perfectly balanced games aren't always the most fun, these are strategy games at the end of the day yes, but they're also supposed to be enjoyable games.
3. Sometimes you just need to ignore people.
This is Subaru. And Subaru is an incredibly good earlygame cav in the second part of my romhack. He has great stats all around except for his strength growth which is a measly 15%, despite this being a setback that in reality can be easily overcome through powerful axes and doubling that 15% growth really throws quite a few people off and they end up immediately benching him and calling him a meme tier unit. Feedback that you know is ill informed like this example can end up being detrimental to your work if you listen to it at face value, Subaru originally had a much higher strength growth and was obscenely broken as can be seen in this video of an earlier build of the game.
https://youtu.be/gclC4RfD_vc
So essentially sometimes you just need to be confident in your own ability to tell when something's good and when something isn't. Of course don't just write everyone off, but do be sure to know when it's time to just dig in your heels and say that you know what you're doing.
4. The Fire Emblem community is incredibly talented.
I've made it clear before that I'm not really good at art, I hardly even know how to edit portraits by a slight bit and yet my romhack is able to have all of these wonderfully made custom portraits, battle animations, tilesets, and songs because of how amazing this community is at making and sharing their work. Within the Fire Emblem hacking community there's a resource known as the 'graphics repository' which holds things like community made battle animations, portraits, and tracks for anyone to use for free as long as credit is provided. I can't explain enough how invaluable of a tool this is to both new and experienced romhackers and it really speaks volumes that the FE community can be very helpful and inclusive when it wants to be. Alongside that there's FEbuilder, the amazingly intuitive all in one romhacking tool created by 7743 that other romhacking communities could only dream of, it's insane how advanced these tools are, I don't even know any C+ or ASM and still have completed an entire romhack with a sequel in the works.
Alright I think that's about everything... I was just sorta bored and figured I'd talk about romhacking for a bit, anyway if anyone's interested in my romhack I'll post a link to it here, it uses FE8 as a base and is fully complete with 25 chapters. It's missing a lot of supports and paired endings but other than that you can play it to the end.

Super Junkoid is an extensive hack of Super Metroid with custom sprites and music by P. Yoshi. You play as Junko, a young girl trapped in a dream created by a horrifying serpent that worships her. The vibes are almost like that of an RPG Maker horror game, but in Metroid form.
Worth checking out, though note that there are instances of gore, body horror, and suicidal imagery.

To continue my rom-hack propaganda :
Go play some rom-hack/mod. Seriously, just go do it. There is so much effort and passion in the scene it just insane. There comedy hack, roguelike-one, story oriented one, hard as balls one, puzzle one, generic unit one, rebalance one, a gaiden demake, the list goes on. Yoi, like some of the take I saw here, want more POC or queer character or etablished romance ? romhack
Seriously mGBA run on a toaster. If you can run a version of Windows made this century you can run it.
And if you also as game idea, FEBuilder is an incredible tool.

Every now and then when thinking/talking about ROM hacks, I’m reminded of those projects I see on romhacking.net where people take retro sports games from the SNES/Genesis era and update them with the latest season’s roster. This thought recurred just now, and this time I thought: why don’t they do that for other games?
Pokémon has seen a little bit of this, with ROM hacks adding every dex and gimmick up to Gen 8 into the Gen 3 games, but I think this should go further than that! What about Animal Crossing? Seeing something like Wild World updated to include items/villagers/mechanics from City Folk, New Leaf, or even New Horizon would be so cool! As someone whose favorite console ever is the DS, this would be a great hack to play, and I know I would eat it up! Games like Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and even Mario Party could play into this too, for much the same reasons.
I’m also a fan of those hacks that recreate a different game entirely, using this game’s engine/assets. What if we just recreated Animal Crossing: New Horizons in Wild World? Add all of the fighters from Smash Ultimate into Melee? Put MK8 tracks in Double Dash? The list could go on.
If I had much of any ability with regards to hacks like this, I’d be all over organizing projects like these. Unfortunately, I’m sort of at the whims of the many talented creators out there making hacks out of love and passion for the games. These are just some neat ideas I had that I would love to see become a reality :3

Hi, gonna rant for a second.
I'm an avid pokemon rom hack enjoyer, but one thing that upsets me greatly is how every 3ds game romhack I look for that has every pokemon available without the need for doing anything to unlock them(i.e. post game or dex completion) and maybe an increased shiny rate are always bullshit hard. Maybe, just maybe, I want a wider variety of pokemon to use without being wiped every few battles by a level 12 plusle.
Sure, some people like the challenge, I respect that. However, I don't. I like the games because I don't have too hard of a time playing them. I don't have to overthink any amount of training or IVs or any of the sort. I want a wider variety of pokemon available, maybe a few trainer changes to match that variety, at a similar difficulty. I don't want my team wiped completely by every trainer.
Please and thank you.
If anyone has the solution to this problem, pls lmk I cannot for the life of me find any that don't make the difficulty bullshit

Ironic how Gen 9 is my least favorite one and yet I did two mono Paldea runs in Radical Red, the second one for 4.1.

PMD: Expanded Sky v1.3.0 is now live!
(for those who missed it, this is a pmd eos mod that adds starters from gens 5-9)
There's a lot of new pokemon this time but most importantly...
Grookey finally joins the roster, as does Axew! All starters are finally here!
Sobble's evolutions are also now both fully implemented, as are several regional evolutions! Pikachu can now evolve into Alolan Raichu, Cubone can evolve into Alolan Marowak, and Cyndaquil can evolve into Hisuian Typhlosion. Their regular evolutions are all still accessible as usual, but their other forms are also available as a branch evo.
Evolution info, IQ groups and movesets can now be found in this spreadsheet for ease of use.
A bunch of extra sprites and portraits for starter evolutions have been pulled in from the PMD Sprite Repository! To go with this, credits have been taken off the title screen and added to a new Cyndaquil NPC on the crossroads!
In-game evolution help can also be found in this NPC's menu.
There's been a couple of extra minor changes, such as fixes to Greninja's moveset, but further info can be found in the original post, the txt included in the download, and the download page.
You can download the new version here!

u have any rom hacks recs? u seem to kno a lot haha
Ghmh yeah but like do note it's been a while since I last really played a rom hack, I'm not that updated w a lot of stuff anymore hahah
Anyways
For GBA
•Unbound (honestly the best imo really set the bar too damn high fr)
•Crown (this ones good if you're in to more typical rpg stuff like Fire Emblem or smth akin to Conquest, tho it's still in beta and you can only get the first "gym badge" it is a cool rom hack tho)
•Dark Worship (it's not fully translated in English but hey if you are or know Portuguese then you might like this one, it's dope ngl but also it's full of bugs so,, yeah hahah)
•Quetzal (haven't played this one, couldn't find a link to the latest version, but from what I heard it's cool since mons can follow you around)
•Emerald DX (basically just Emerald but w DS sprites and following pkmn, also w p/s split, I forgot if they added the Fairy type but I think they did, I'm adding this one bc I love Emerald and this one's a pretty solid rom hack hahah)
•Glazed (man I'm surprised this is still around ngl, but hey it's a classic, its solid, I don't remember getting that far in this rom hack ngl, but iirc I got to Johto, but didn't get to finish the game)
•Sors (this ones also dope, one thing I don't like abt it tho is that you can't change the MC's name or gender or customize him, and Lucario as an ace, I mean Lucario lovers would probs like this game but I just prefer Riolu)
•Saiph and Saiph 2 (haven't played these, but I think it's cool, Saiph 2 I did try tho and God fuckin love the sprites and the design of it, too bad it's unfinished but hey hahah)
•Sword and Shield GBA (if you want SwSh but w DS sprites, yeah. It's in Spanish tho, but there is an English translation if you want hahah)
For DS
•Blaze Black and Volt White (basically BW, but a bit better hahah)
•Blaze Black and Volt White 2 Redux (honestly the most definitive version of BW2 for me ngl, this is canon for me now hahaha no but fr it's pretty dope, a lot of changes and hey if you don't like the changes they still have one w/out em so it's a win win hahah)
•PMD: Explorers of Skies (pmd sky, but a bit harder, but also w more starters so hey hahah)
•PMD: Expanded Sky (this ones posted here on Tumblr, you can check here if you want, but yeah it's PMD but w starters from gen one to nine and a few more added so it's really cool!)
•PMD: Gates To Infinity Demake (GTI but in the DS, it's what we should've gotten, but hey this demake is still dope tho! But ah,, yeah still not finished but hey hahah)
•PMD: Future of Hope (I haven't finished this one but I really want to bc it's honestly dope af and it's kinda like a sequel to explorers)
•Conquest Ultimate (haven't tried this one too but low-key want to, says that it has mons to gen nine, and you can choose your own eeveelution at the start of the game rather than just sticking w Eevee)
#theres another one for ds i just forgot its name chdmnd#but hey you might find more on ducumon hahah#or on yt#but like ducumon best bet or pokeharbor hahah#these are just the ones that i think are dope af hahah#pokemon rom hacks#rom hacks#an ask and an answer#anon
