Could you build this?
No Developing paper diorama modding and custom battle systems on top of game decompilations/recompilations requires low-level ROM hacking, assembly/C reverse engineering, and custom rendering engines.
What it would actually take: Built on decompiled GBA Pokémon codebases (pokeemerald/pokefirered) and recompilation tools (gen1recomp). Requires custom 3D/2.5D rendering pipelines, asset pipeline conversions, and C programming integrated directly into patched game loop memory structures, requiring deep ROM hacking and graphics expertise.
