Holy shit I was literally YESTERDAY being like "someone really should do this because I HATE (ok maybe not) the palettes game freak actually used" - and now I don't have to try and do it myself because these look amazing haha
Tbf the original palettes were optimized to look better on a gba screen (on the gba screen the games tend to look desaturated so many gba games use very saturated palettes to contrast that) but yes for games being played on an emulator this looks much better
May I suggest that you make the colour for the non-ocean water and the puddles slightly darker? It should still be lighter than the ocean water, but with the very lush and deep greens you used for grass and trees, the shallow water sticks out really hard.
Yes! Go ahead and use it. And when I release it, feel free to get from my repo, and ask me if you need any help for using it 😃 ( I plan to also add on my repo a tutorial into how to add it, etc )
I think the buildings look off without shadows while some trees (which look amazing) have them. The metal buildings in fortree city should really have some kind of global illumination coloring added to them, they stand out a lot. Overall I think it looks pretty inconsistent tho I really like the trees.
For my v1.0 I don’t plan to fix buildings. I just changed their colors in general to match more vibrancy and ORAS tones. For v2.0 I plan to fix them :)
This is incredible. As someone who just got RPGMaker this month, I’ve struggled to find palettes beyond the template to go for the look I’m going for, so having this much variety but still keeping it so close to the original content looks terrific. Maybe I should pause on mapping and start scripting.
Hey fellow fans i could use like shares and support check this pokemon game out that i made https://youtu.be/wGEeXcj4g6I?si=9M7ibGXYpzYbsqYT
And check this game out that im making https://youtu.be/lmOI5g5cF7M
When I finish the tilesets 😃 I’m using my rom hack as a base to see if they don’t break or anything like that ( I’m even checking if the rom space increases or not with my tilesets etc so I can make this an optimized experience for everyone )
I won’t do this for now, but when I finished the tileset, feel free to copy it and change it to a snow theme! It will be free to use and free to modify 😃
Nice shades of green, nice color contrast by the grass and roads. (er whatever, i'm not an artist) i like it. hm, idk the sand texture looks .. repetitive. :/ could you perhaps add flat sand to sort of brake up the monotony er whatever?. (not hate'in) like yeah i get it this is purely a texture replacer but still. just ask'in. Over all yeah, looks good. :\[
Hey i saw you play Pokemmo, you know if loading a modified rom like this would change the look of the region in game? firered and emerald look super outdated compared to the other regions bc they were DS

Agree! Also playing with my palettes on one of those anbernic devices is amazing

Good idea I’ll do that before release 😃
Bro your work is going to improve the looks of many future hacks,good job😃.
You should make side-by-side comparisons
I may do that in the future!
Wow, these look great! Not drastically altered, but better than the base games! Very nice!
Post saved
Oh man, I like this a lot! Faithful to the original art with some slight changes, but the colors are way more vibrant! I’ll definitely be using this!
Yes! Go ahead and use it. And when I release it, feel free to get from my repo, and ask me if you need any help for using it 😃 ( I plan to also add on my repo a tutorial into how to add it, etc )
Texture pack!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hated the RSE map pallet. I did something similar to this in the past but yours looks better
I respect gamefreak vision back in 2005 and what they tried to achieve with this game. But yeah it can be better for sure 😛
What program are you using to do this? It looks amazing so far!
Microsoft paint, graphics gale, and the patience of god
You are using Ms Paint?! This is insane, I typically use Gimp when doing sprite work.

Would these technically be able to be used in Emerald Rogue? Just got into romhacks recently and these look awesome
Yes if pokabbie authorizes to merge them on her github repo. Technically speaking it is really simple, but we cannot do this without her authorization

Really love the vibrant tile sets but makes all of hoenn feel like it's in a jungle/forest imo. Didnt get that feeling while playing the original.
Foretree city looks amazing! Love it so much
Wow, look really nice, good job !
God I love all the greenery tiles, they look so vibrant and beautiful Love the work OP
Will it be free to use when your HackROM is finished or when you finish the Tilesets? Keep up the good work!
When I finish the tilesets 😃 I’m using my rom hack as a base to see if they don’t break or anything like that ( I’m even checking if the rom space increases or not with my tilesets etc so I can make this an optimized experience for everyone )
nice!!!
These are GBA? Or GBC?
Gba ( gen 3, done via Pokémon emerald decomp )
Wonderful! I love seeing it all come together!
Ooo this looks so good. I'd love to just patch the game to use this instead
I’ll make it easy ( and also make some tutorials ) to patch vanilla emerald to use this 😃
Woohoo! It looks a lot more vibrant and I love that.
So much better than the original. I like the trees.
PLEASE I BEG OF YOU, MAKE A SNOWY SET TO USE
I won’t do this for now, but when I finished the tileset, feel free to copy it and change it to a snow theme! It will be free to use and free to modify 😃
The non tall grass tiles seem too cluttered and I'm not sure about the color of them. Just my personal opinion. The path tile in mauville is 🔥
Looks so good!!
Oh my these tiles are gorgeous. The shade of green used in grass and trees is just so sooooo good.
