Begemot posted:I'm certain that was originally a technical limitation. Red and Green were held together with chewing gum and hope. When they brought Iwata in to help with G/S, he fixed so much stuff they were able to fit Kanto on the cart. Yeah, pokemon save files were monstrously huge by gameboy standards. Gen 1 saves were probably comparable in size to the earliest and simplest GB carts.

I can't really throw stones since I've had an idea for a ghost ship pokemon along very similar lines, but the Titanic part is... yeah.

Really cool original idea that is definitely not a halfass mashup of Donphan and Mamoswine.

Proud Rat Mom posted:Is it wrong to think despite fan game jankiness and amateur writing, uranium is ok? Like the rest of you are treating it like it's super terrible but it seems pretty competent to me. Begemot posted:I can assure you that everything that makes it look competent is from the pokemon resource pack for rpgmaker. All the hard work of getting the basics of a pokemon game going were done ahead of time, by someone else, more than a decade ago. I mean... kind of? From a creative standpoint, Uranium represents a staggering amount of effort, drive--and, yes, even a fair bit of talent. Kit or no kit, assembling a game of Uranium's scope is no small feat. It's "ok" in that it's playable and in some sense that is itself a significant accomplishment and I think it's fair to recognize that. From a player's standpoint, though, none of that really matters. Being an impressive labor of love doesn't actually make the game worth playing. If I want to play a janky Pokemon knockoff it's pretty easy to find something that scratches that itch better than Uranium--to say nothing of, you know, just playing actual Pokemon games. Also, if the criticism seems unnecessarily harsh, remember that someone actually thought that this thing was something worth creating and sharing with the world:

Kurieg posted:Memory was at a premium on the Pokemon cart because it was so crammed full of everything in that game. So when the Old Man teaches you how to catch a pokemon, it copies your name into the region encounter table, and changes the name register to "Old Man", when it's done it copies the region encounter table back into the Name Register. And of course this event happened inside a town, so the theory was that it was OK to just treat the region encounter table as temporary free space since there were no random encounters in the area and as soon as you crossed the border into a new route it would reload the encounter table with the proper data. The problem is, the encounter table doesn't get reset when you Fly to another city (because again, it's not expected that it would be used inside a city) and there happens to be a different city that accidentally had some tiles with random encounters available. So a weird but theoretically harmless space saving trick grows into a huge glitch due to a couple of other oversights.
