Howdy all! #AncestralX v2.0 is now out! Featuring the official integration of a custom, fully deterministic AI, along with new moves from Gens 7-9, added QoL, and an overhaul to many of the trainers, particularly gym leaders and E4! Please enjoy! pokecommunity.com/showthread.php…

Yeah, I definitely remember to announce here. #AncestralX v2.3 is out, with some changes to how the AI utilizes Mega Pokemon. pokecommunity.com/threads/ancest…

@DJ_Gekko24 Ash Greninja is not in the game. I have no plans to port it, but if in the future plans change, then it would operate as a regular mega evolution due to tech constraints.

@itsAxyn This is the first I’ve heard of this rom hack, and was wondering if Ash-Greninja is also in it like the Hoenn megas?

Hey all, #AncestralX v2.1.0 is out now! Plenty of fresh changes if you're looking to try out the game or come back to it! pokecommunity.com/threads/ancest…

Hello everyone! Super excited to announce #AncestralX v.1.4.AI+, the newest AI patch. This one's a big one, as there is a now a fully accurate battle calculator simulation running on the backend and I've codified the AI Rules & Priority in a document. pokecommunity.com/showthread.php…

@Squerk_ I'm truly sorry that you feel this way and for your poor experience. If we can be of additional support, please feel free to Dm us. -Axyn

playing gen 5 and onward hacks is so sickening LMAO this AI is the worst shit ever THEY BOTH SAW A KILL ON BOTH OF MY MONS WHAT DO I DO

Howdy all, #AncestralX v1.4 is out! Mostly a patch of balance changes, but largest changes are the sudden scarcity of honey and new encounters in the Sea Spirit's Den! pokecommunity.com/showthread.php…

Hey all, #AncestralX v1.3 is now out! Big feature for this patch is 2 new encounters in Vaniville and the Kalos Power Plant, and of course there are a variety of balance changes. Hope y'all enjoy! pokecommunity.com/showthread.php…

Howdy friends, dropped another #AncestralX patch (v1.2) last night. Bit of nerfs to Viola and Tierno, more berries, and distinction for a variety of megas. Hope you have fun! pokecommunity.com/showthread.php…

@ArcXGamer Pretty sure I removed all shiny locks where I saw them.

@itsAxyn definetly gonna play this ro, hack looks very well made question is are the legendaries like mewtwo xerneas yveltal ect shiny locked or did you remove the shiny locks in this game? just wondering so i know what i can and cant do cause i am doing a shiny only playthrough

#AncestralX v1.0 is out now! Looking forward to everyone's thoughts and watching all of the streams and YT videos! I hope everyone enjoys! pokecommunity.com/showthread.php…

@blunk778 It’s on my list, but there’s not a lot of demand for it and maintaining two versions requires a little more management on my part, so it generally hasn’t been worth pursuing, especially while the main game is still getting balance fixes.

@itsAxyn Is there any reason you dont have a version for Y? Its so hard to find a clean rom of X out there and i already have one for y

Hello, just released #AncestralX v1.1! There are a lot of changes aimed at trying to balance the early game, with the goal of buffing you and your options rather than directly nerfing trainers. Hope you enjoy! pokecommunity.com/showthread.php…

@BrandaoItallo @Drayano60 Thank you, but in short, it's going to remain where it is. Longer reasoning: the PP nerfs are deliberately calibrated to avoid stall and sweep strats, and in the case of an example like Quiver Dance or Dragon Dance, even 1 PP to boost is still extremely strong.

@itsAxyn @Drayano60 Hey Will! You hack is incredible, thank you so much! I would like to tell you only one thing that I didn't like: the enormous nerf on PP status move. I liked the iea of the nerf, but I think that was too much. Could you consider change this? Something like 5 pp would be great.

@Glacicle64 I’m not precisely sure, that’s more of a question for the general 3DS homebrew server, but you can use checkpoint to back up and restore your 3DS saves. Not sure how it interacts with physical hardware.

@itsAxyn I had a question about this: I own a physical copy of X, and don’t want to mess with the save file. Can I install a digital version on my 3DS to play this game without impacting the physical one, or are their save data’s shared?

@mordsneak This seems to be an active issue, yes. I’m looking into it. The files themselves are fine, I believe it to be a Windows error.

@itsAxyn Hello! I tried to download the file for the hack but my browser won't let me bc it says it has a virus. Has anyone else reported that issue? I'm guessing it's a false alarm but is there any way you can verify that?

@Poffinguy @Drayano60 I’ve been told it should be challenging enough with a normal playthrough.

@itsAxyn @Drayano60 Is this only for nuzlockes or can this be challenging with normal play through?

@TheRealNoonan @TheBigL94497582 @Drayano60 Inspiration from other hacks aimed at reducing sweeping/stalling.

@itsAxyn @TheBigL94497582 @Drayano60 Could you explain at your thought process about nerfing the pp for these moves?

Hello all! Excited to announce that the official release of #AncestralX will be this upcoming Friday, March 24th! I hope everyone enjoys playing the game, and may you be lucky enough to avoid too much steering! pokecommunity.com/showthread.php…

@hanyolo97 Pokémon Y is not yet supported, but there are plans for a Y variant!

@itsAxyn What if u have only pokemon y can I still play this or not

@TheBigL94497582 @Drayano60 Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but that's the way it goes.

@itsAxyn @Drayano60 It certainly seems to be an interesting endeavor, but reading the list of changes some things turn me off from considering it. (Especially nerfing PP of status moves.)
