PMD Special Episode 0 Romhack: Secret Cutscene!
NOTE: This post will contain minor spoilers for the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky games as well as a romhack based off of it: Special Episode 0: In a Dark Past Well. This wasn't exactly what I expected for my first post, but I sure as hell ain't complaining! I'm making this post since I discovered something that I haven't seen posted anywhere, so I thought I might as well share it. Sorry if it's a little long! First off, a bit of context: Thanks to numerous fanart, I've begun playing a PMD romhack called Special Episode 0: In a Dark Past. It's a romhack of the Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky games specifically, delving deeper into the backstories of two of its characters: Grovyle and Dusknoir. As a massive PMD EoS fan, I've been enjoying it so far! Highly recommend it to anyone who's a fan of these games or characters and the writing is great! You can check out the creator's Twitter here, the hack download should be in a pinned post: https://twitter.com/PKMM_ESPEP0 It was when I got to a fight with a Vespiquen and her Combee that I got a little curious. Before I picked up this hack, I'd already watched a short playthrough of it and knew that you were supposed to lose this fight to continue the story (Vespiquen is ridiculously strong and uses Silver Wind, which basically kills you from anywhere). But I wondered if it was possible to beat it. After all, I had a lot of stun seeds by this point, and Duskull knew both Disable and Hypnosis which could stall the Vespiquen.
So I did. Though I must first confess, I didn't do it 100% legitimately. I don't own a DS, so I play all my games using emulators, including both PMD EoS and this romhack. Thus, I was able to save right before the battle so I wouldn't have to reset and go through the entire dungeon every time I lost. So while I did manage to beat the Vespiquen fair and square from start to finish, I did do a couple resets to save time. But that's not what I made this post for. After beating the Vespiquen, I unlocked a secret cutscene! I haven't seen anyone share this before, so I thought I might as well put this out there for anyone who is curious. For anyone who's read this far, thank you so much, and here it is! (It's quite long at about 7 minutes, but it's totally worth the watch!)
Thanks for reading through this one hell of a first post! Like I said, I really love PMD and from the little I've experienced, this romhack is just as beautifully written. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't! I wonder if I should start posting PMD fanart of my own...
Question:
Does anyone have any tutorials they use for making custom PMD cutscenes / ROM hacks? Especially any written ones? I'm looking to get started on some projects and have no idea where to begin...
Hi I'm the anon from the other day i just beat special episode 0 in full!! It was a tough journey, but I loved it! I kept having to remind myself it wasn't officially by Pokemon lol, it was so wonderfully written. It made me so sad seeing Dusknoir's fall from grace and how tormented he was, but his turn back around was so beautiful, and that final cutscene with everyone alive again .... We love to see it!!!! I need everyone to know about this mod immediately
YESSS IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT. I was enchanted by how well written it was, the love the creator has for the original game is palpable in every character and every added bit of lore and attempt to fill out the blanks from the original story, all while still leaving facts shrouded in mystery to encourage engaging with the world,,,,,
it did all the characters so much justice, especially grovyle and dusknoir, and the game's ending in particular hits as hard as an official pmd game does.
Compilation of Special Episode 0 fanart! These are all post-canon except the last five, that are some of my highlights from these streams of the game. Dusknoir's voice and characterization in these streams is absolutely hilarious and it's now canon to me. he's very famous, he knows it, and he likes it.
Compilation of fanart for Special Episode 0, a fantastic romhack that reminded me of why I love these characters!
[Spoiler for the romhack PMD: Special Episode 0]
Grovyle's (Treecko) first meeting with Celebi, as told in Special Episode 0. I can't get enough of this romhack.
