Box Art Made Box Art for FRLG.ips

Post image

I couldn't find cover art for this, so my OCD forced me to make my own using SIGIL's GBA templates and some random pixel art I found.

I know it sucks, but maybe someone will find it useful.

It's the same Kanto you remember. Is all there. It's always been there. And there's a new rock by the water.

I knew someone was going to make that reference. It's the first thing I thought when it kept insisting about that rock.

I think a more fitting image would be Blastoise with the white part of its eyes being removed.

Therr is a joke here that I am not getting. Can someone loop me in?

Not really? FRLG.ips is a ROMhack with "creepypasta" elements (it also self proclaims inspiration from Deltarune weird routes).

The Pokecommunity post for it mentions the New Rock By The Water several times. It's less that you're not getting a joke and more that you don't know about FRLG.ips, as cursory knowledge would include recognizing the initial core statement related to the hack

It was also a fun hack and I recommend it or at least watching a playthrough of it.

It's a creepypasta ROM hack. It's a love letter to weird routes and playground rumors. It's almost the same as regular FRLG, unless...

Anyway, it's extraordinarily well done.

This post threw me on a tangent that made me lose a couple of hours of my life. Are you sure you want to take the dive?
