New types/additional types possible, etc?
Been wondering, if any of you figured out how to do it.

Also, I am not sure, but I assume there are changes that you allow that regular handhelds couldn't handle.

If not, wondering if you have made any flags available for turning stuff that emulators not the original devices can handle.

It would be awesome to be able to run a game like this, with steel and dark types and all cards up until the end of gen 2 in the game or more if possible.

Just some thoughts that occured to me. Also, multiple regions would be interesting as well.

Imagine having this have the potential to make something as big as RBY or more so GSC!

Anywho, just some things I felt like sharing, some might be outlandish right now, but please do tell me your thoughts.

Hi. The GitHub Issues section is for discussing issues with the disassembly project itself.

To discuss how to modify the game, please join our Discord server linked in the README.

I guess you will never get that discussion then...

I don't use discord, its a service I will never, ever use. That being said, I have for the time being lost interest now... besdies, I don't remember your readme saying that this couldn't be done here.

Anywho, seems this was a waste of time.

Sorry, not being dismissive of you or your ideas. Since you don't use Discord, I will share some of my thoughts.

Yes, it is feasible to add one new type: https://github.com/pret/poketcg/blob/master/src/constants/card_data_constants.asm#L91
Adding more than 1 new type would be tricky because of bit flags which expect to be able to store flags for all types in a single byte.

Emulators are intended to mimic hardware, not transcend it. While you could do whatever you want, it is generally not a modder's intention to create something which wouldn't be functional on authentic hardware.

The entirety of the game's source code is present here for modification, so yes it has the potential.

@dannye danny

I should probably add, not one of my better days when I commented above. I can be a hothead sometimes...

This being said, I do in fact hate adopting more proprietary services no matter what.

I appreciate you staying level headed tho.

Do you guys have a reddit area or a forum you guys also discuss this stuff? For the reasons above, I mean...

Anywho, I would ask more, especially like, how many cards/regions,types, etc...

But perhaps I should be suggesting some of this elsewhere.

Otherwise, this will become some weird issue, again... suggesting where though, is my bigger problem tho.

No idea aka.

We have an IRC but no one uses it because it's not as convenient.

I tend to dislike when communities have everything on discord as it's hard to index and search as a third party not in the know, however it's the result of everyone who's active in the community wanting to find a common and easy way to discuss things. Dannye mentioned using it because you will by far get the best response there. Most of the people working on mods like the ones you described don't check the issues. Modding is outside of the scope of this repo but we have many people in our server that are interested in modding/development and chats dedicated to helping people with some of the basics. Unfortunately other than that we just have the IRC and random other github projects. (I have a poketcg-hacks repo with a couple very simple modifications. That sort of thing would probably be a better place to discuss, though you'll get even fewer eyes on your messages there than here).

@anmart I had noticed the irc as well, only thing being, IRC is not very reliable, unless people are paying attention long enough to respond back. Forums, have better notifications. That being said, this is sufficient to know, thanks.
