About This ROM Hack
Pokemon Splashing em to death is a Magikarp-focused ROM hack currently in development, designed around the concept of creating an intentionally extreme and unconventional Pokémon experience. The core idea is simple but drastic: every single Pokémon in the game is replaced with Magikarp.
This hack is closely related in concept to other Magikarp-only projects, focusing on pushing standard Pokémon gameplay systems into absurdity for experimental and challenge-based gameplay.
Key Features
- All Pokémon Replaced with Magikarp: Every wild Pokémon and trainer Pokémon is changed to Magikarp.
- HM System Adjustments (Partial): HM attack power has been removed, HM scripting still requires cleanup and redesign
- Encounter Overhaul: All wild encounters replaced with Magikarp, All trainer teams replaced with Magikarp
- Event Modifications: Many scripted events (such as Snorlax and gift Pokémon encounters) have been altered
- Evolution System Changes: Magikarp evolution by level has been removed
- Technical Distribution System: ROM is converted into patch files using FLIPS, Each version uses separate patch builds
- Move Set Reduction: Non-Magikarp moves removed or heavily restricted
Known Bugs & Issues
- Marowak Event Bug: The Marowak event is currently broken even when battle data is correctly set to Magikarp.
- Incomplete HM Removal: HM dependency is still partially present and requires script-level fixes.
- Trainer Dialogue Not Updated: Trainer text has not yet been fully adjusted to match the Magikarp-only concept.
