A Chrono Trigger ROM hack idea

As you may know, Magus' three henchmen were named Vinnegar, Soysaw, and Mayonnay in the Japanese version of Chrono Trigger, obvious references to vinegar, soy sauce, and mayonnaise.

These were changed to Musical/Shout-Out Theme Naming in the English version. Specifically, they became Ozzie, Slash, and Flea, respectively. These are obvious references to Ozzy Osbourne (a vocalist), Slash (a guitarist), and Flea (a bassist).

So, we need a drummer.

Conveniently enough, we have a fourth character who fits the sauce theme in the Japanese version - Tata, who was called Tarta in Japan, after tartar sauce.

Therefore, if I were ever to do a Chrono Trigger ROM hack, I would change Tata's name to Lars, after Lars Ulrich.

Something that has been on my mind since watching that one tragic episode with Minior in Pokemon Sun and Moon animated series years ago:

Don't mind me i'll just dump notes of an idea for a R0M H4CK

Pokemon Wander

Blurb: You play as Red, the future champion of Indigo League. You’re on your way to collect 8 badges to fight the Elite Four, when…

- Starts off as a normal FireRed until getting the 1st badge and leaving Pewter City

Instead of the usual interruption from an NPC to get your running shoes;

You get teleported to a city/town from a random region, or even a new, fanmade one.

Following Generations include Gen 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and the fanmade one. No in particular order

Regions:

Gen 3 (Mossdeep City) - You ask for the locals where to go home, and you encounter someone who knew about your circumstance and explains it. Meeting Tate and Liza will tell you something about a roaming mythical Pokemon.

If surf is already acquired, Shoal Cave sidequest will be available.

Gen 4 (Hearthome City) - You meet Cynthia who is aware of your circumstances and further elaborates on it, she'll give you a pokemon that will help you (a mon that knows surf)

There will be an Amity Square Sidequest where you can walk with your starter. This will make the egg hatch faster, if not fully hatch.

Gen 5 (Undella Town (Spring) (BW ver.)) – You meet Cynthia (again if you already met her in Hearthome) and talks to you (dialogue depends whether you already visited Hearthome or not)

Gen 6 (Couriway Town) – You visit Hotel Couriway and meet Mr. Bonding, who is also aware of the phenomenon that has happened to you, and will give you a device that can be used only once to help you go home (said item will just teleport you to a random city/town from one of the regions mentioned above)

Sidequest involves turning into an errand boy in Hotel Couriway

Gen 7 (Mount Hokulani) – It just happens that your time of arrival coincides with the date of the upcoming Minior showers, you go to the Hokulani Observatory and meet Molayne and Sophocles. Upon describing what happened on your way to Mt. Moon in Kanto, they remember reading something related to a mythical Pokemon that uses warps and portals to teleport.

Sidequest (The biggest one of them all, the thing inspired by that one Minior episode) – Before the upcoming final Minior Shower, you met a Minior stuck in the grass, it joins your team, which lets you battle the trainers in Mt. Hokulani easily. If in party, Molayne and Sophocles notes of the Minior you have, providing additional dialogue. If agreed, you can do the Hokulani trial before the final Minior Shower. A cutscene with Minior will happen at the final Minior Shower and will leave your team. (When this sidequest is active and isn’t finished, it will disable the sudden teleportation that should trigger after talking to the pair at Hokulani Observatory.)

A fanmade city from an unknown region - never thought anything further other than it's based on a screenshot of a fanmade map using pokemon emerald tilesets from a mutual :3 (Dk if I can post the pic, so i'll not post it.)

Mt. Silver – After travelling the 8 random spots from a specific region, you end up warped at the foot of Mt. Silver, behind a patrolling police officer, which will escort you back to Viridian city after realizing you were the missing person the police had been searching for months.

Note: If you completed all the sidequests, an additional cutscene will happen as you make your way into Viridian City, a Hoopa will appear to snatch you away again and warp you to Dahara City 100 years ago (a city based on the movie Hoopa debuted), a man will appear to reprimand Hoopa and will use a device to imprison it (not the Imprison Bottle that will turn it unbound), but not before talking to you and asking Hoopa to send you back to Kanto. Instead of walking back to Pokemon Center with the officer, you'll wake up at the Pokemon Center.

Well, that's it. The R0m H4ck is basically less battles, more on cutscenes and narrative, and a little ambitious on map-making (lol). It'll never be made idk how to make a r0m h4ck, let alone change a dialogue in the game.
