I've been replaying B2W2 again, and I think it's a missed opportunity that more memory link cutscenes aren't like this!
I'd like to upload more Black 2 / White 2 content soon™, as I put probably too much work into figuring out how to do this.

(if anyone has an alternate title, I'm open to suggestions)Pokémon Sun/Moon Demo Hack: Text EditingVGMoose2016-10-20 | Well, this one took me a while...! Glad to see it was doable though.
I also realize upon watching this that I may have become an old bitter, sarcastic Pokémon player. It's not like that! I enjoyed the demo and his seems like a good direction they are taking.
There were a couple of things that had to change to repack the GARC files for Sun/Moon and inject custom text. For now, for info on how to replace text in Sun/Moon, check out these resources:
I wish the title were less click-baity, but here it is! Neither of these are model edits, so Ninetails is actually pretty far off from the real fluffy creature seen in the trailer previews. None of the model edits I were trying ending up looking very good, and at the end of the day an ice Vulpix is pretty cute anyway.
This was also the first time I played around switching between the top and bottom screens. I also tried to get the framerate up from my Missingno. video, which proved harder with two screens.
I recorded this on real hardware, and I intend to upload a detailed guide on exactly how this was made soon! I have been focused on Wii U development recently, but I do still have plenty of ORAS stories left to tell. I also want to thank all the few long time viewers who left welcoming-back comments on my other ORAS videos! They made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Taking a break (already...) from the 3DS for now to release this!
Hopefully this makes downloading Wii U homebrew much easier :) Don't forget, this runs on all current Wii U's at this time.
3DS stuff again soon!Pokémon ORAS: Kyogre Soaring & Altarianite-KVGMoose2016-05-19 | The blubber makes it more aerodynamic.
===== So the making of this was... strained to say the least. I've encountered a major problem with 6th gen mods. That is, I don't know how to get it so that a speech bubble looks as if it's coming from the player (cause they never talk!). This is a huge issue as usually my videos resolve around back and forth between the player and some NPCs.
So while I'm working out that problem, I'll be continuing to focus on model and text mods. Editing the soaring Pokemon was also more complicated than anticipated, and had to be fixed in a hex editor directly.
So yes, I'm not too pleased with how this turned out, and I wish I could've packed some jokes in there. The funniest line (about the fossils) is actually lifted straight from the game. At least soaring on Kyogre looks ridiculous.
In case it's not clear, the idea here is supposed to be: Lisia is missing her Altarianite, and the player comes across Altarianite-K which is similar, except it causes Altaria to mega-evolve into... Kyogre? I guess? I don't know!
Another milestone being marked here is in my recording setup. I switched to using ScreenFlow to record with higher FPS.

This video is 8 years old now! See this blog post for the model files and a short reflection: https://vgmoose.dev/blog/oras-missingno-retrospective-3d-model-files-0357867364/
======== Original Description:
How to: 1. Talk to Trendy kid on Dewford Island 2. Say yes twice, then no 3. Show him a rare candy 4. Choose "glitches", this option appears with unknown odds 5. Surf up and down the coast of Dewford 6. Read below !!
Yeah so I don't think I'm really fooling anyone that this is NOT REAL! There are a *couple* of red flags. Despite this, I wanted my second ORAS video to be something more than text-editing, and I also wanted to echo the various Missingno. videos that I had made in the past (like this one: youtube.com/watch?v=xvVCTKdhOZk ).
There were WAY too many technical challenges that I hit with this, however. I'm surprised it even looks as good as it does. Lining up the texture with the model was the hardest part, and creating the model itself was not super straightforward. Hopefully I can produce a full-fledged event like I did in ruby, fix the texture and size issues, and also fix the shadow....
BUT overall I think it's decent! Still working through some recording optimization issues as well. This isn't the last you'll see of Missingno.
By far the most difficult part was getting the texture to not show up distorted. I couldn't find a good fix for this, and both Sketchup and Meshlab seemed to mess it up. In the end, I resolved to editing the obj file by hand (in a text editor). For some reason the order that the faces appear in affects which textures are stretched and which aren't.
NTR settings: Connected directly to local hotspot on laptop remoteplay(priorityFactor=0, quality=100, qosValue=101) (there's a bit of FPS lag due to quality=100, I'm considering turning it down to 90 in future videos)

BTW, can you guess who?Pokémon Black Introduction HackVGMoose2011-02-26 | Tutorials and downloads at my website! http://vgmoose.com
ALL I DO IS HACK INTROS YO.
Well, I mean, there's a text editor... at the very least... Just click the link fools. ALSO LEAVE ME A COMMENT ON THE SITE I'M LONELY.
ALSO BLACK AND WHITE HACKING IT'S LIKE THE SAME AS 4TH GEN BUT DIFFERENT. Not really. Kind of. I don't even.
Androgynous is a funny word.
Also, this is still the japanese rom because I haven't gotten around to buying the english version yet (some places, like BJ's, are selling it early, but I'm too lazy to check...)
Well, here's the thingy I alluded to (and by alluded to, I do mean blatantly said was going to happen) yesterday. It was kind of a huge pain to make, and after it was all done I was disappointed.
Here's the story. Normally, with the Rocket Uniform on, a variable is enabled that obviously tells the game that you're wearing it. This is used for NPCs when they talk to you and say things like "YOU'RE A BAD PERSON." Another variable is written to that prevents Fly from being used. I first disabled the NPC one, and everything was fine. I was able to maneuver Goldenrod without a problem. When I disabled the Fly one, however, I found something interesting.
The Rocket uniform is just as temporary as any other form (ie. surfing sprites, flying sprites, bicycle). It will wear off when one of the others are used. Unfortunately, this means that you can't surf, use your bike, or fly or else the Rocket sprites will be overwritten. I mean, you can easily enable them by going back to your house.
When I brought this up yesterday, I thought this might happen, and I suggested making an item. I spent liek a bazillion hours searching for the offsets where the item scripts are but I totally failed. If only right? (I'm looking at you slowpoketail-- your time has come...)
Another alternative (but also another thing I don't have the offsets too...) would have been through a phone call or the radio even. Although, I think item is the way to go.
TLDR: THIS CULD B BETTR, HALP
Also, of course, test out the patchy to make sure it 1) actually works and 2) well, just actually works, that's all.
Thanks bros. Also, a quick shout out to PikalaxALT. He suggested recording through desmume at laggerific speeds to play back at full speed. Although I didn't actually use his method in this very video (got a new Wine distro), it sounds extremely useful and utilizable in the future. THXBRO.Impromptu Rocket Uniform Implementation Soul SilverVGMoose2011-02-22 | Yes. YES. Formal hack coming later. I don't know what side effects this will have on the storyline, or Fly, or Goldenrod in general, but I think if I introduced an item that allowed someone to change back and forth it wouldn't be a problem.
And yes, this means a patch for you guys, although I'm not sure how big you all are on DS emulators. I guess if you had a flash cart it'd be pretty cool.
Also, the 3D rendering is like... fail. There are black lines everywhere. I'd like to get that fixed before I start doing entertaining hacks but like whatever man.Limping into Fourth GenVGMoose2011-02-21 | I wasn't originally going to upload this, but it's kind of....

Yeah... this didn't really come out the way I wanted it to...
First off, and let's get this out of the way, NO I did not edit the cries. YES they are Steelix and Gastly. HOW WONDERFULLY OBSERVANT OF YOU.
This was supposed to be like one of those eerie type stories, but it was just poorly put together, if you ask me. Sure, the sprite look nice, but the event seems way too lame and the slightly darkened version of Rustboro is a terrible climax. I also didn't do the doo doo doo doo noises when you get stuff but it's too late now. Whatevs man.
any recommendations? this hax season is starting way too late
YES THE TITLE IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE. LUCKILY ANYONE WHO WOULD BELIEVE SUCH LIES ALSO WOULDN'T READ THE DESCRIPTION I AM SO DEVIOUS. N_N
also, the team is totally snagged from cheeze13579, aka Kevin, who totally owns a level 100 porygon (he refuses to evolve..)
oh, and as long as we're talking about things we stole from other people, both of these sprites are just slightly modified versions of ones found on google images.

Pokegods were extra Pokemon coded into Red and Blue version, but never given an actual Pokemon slot. These "Pokegods" were obtainable via gameshark.
When I was like, in the first grade, my friend asked me if I was going to evolve my Charizard into a Charcoalt. I had no idea what he was talking about. He started mentioning items such as Mist Stones and Super Balls (which were similar to master balls). You can expect to hear about the other rumors I recall in later hacks hehe
This is what I imagined Charcoalt looked like. A really like, yellow bright charizard only larger, more ferocious, and lacking eyes.
