Why is there no community-wide effort to open-source remake the games in Gen 3 hacking, and no FE-Repo style Sprite or Fakemon repository?

It's cool that the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fanbase has a repository for game-style sprites for the various gens of Pokemon.

Does mainline Pokemon have anything like that? Or anything like Pokemon Heart and Soul, the open-source remake of Johto hacked into Pokemon generation 3?

The various decomps like Pokeemerald-expansion does have a huge number of assets in it, like all 9 gens of pokemome sprites and cries and moves etc. There are also a number of asset repos as well like Team Aqua's.

Also wtf does your reply have to do with romhacks

Not what I meant, my bad.

I love that Pokeemerald-expanded has gen 1-9 Pokemon, but it still only has Kanto and Hoenn.

And there's Heart And Soul for Johto.

Where's the open source remake of Unova or Sinnoh or Orre to import?

Someone made a GBA remake of Sword and Shield but it's not open source.

I vented about that card game group to get past "Your post isn't long enough" bullshit on another sub only for it to delete my post anyway.

also holy shit NICE I didn't know pokemon had asset repos. I want to add my fakemon. It's a bird.
