If anyone here has an interest in Pokemon fan-games, you've probably heard of it before - a huge (relatively, as in double-diogit megabytes, but that's big for 2d sprite stuff and text scripting files) asset pack for making Pokemon games in RPGMaker ... um, I think specifically XP? No idea how hard it is to import the script and projects into newer versions. Well, after three years, v18 (and just Monday 18.1 with a few additions and fixes) has been released, covering up to gen 7 material. Link is to the announcement thread with a download link, no account necessary:

It is of course entirely unofficial and at best dubiously legal in terms of copyright on the ripped game art and trademarks, but but unless you go making a big splash like Pokemon Uranium you're not likely to see anyone professing to care or make trouble for you in more than the abstract. If just playing new games on a low end PC is as far as your interest extends, obviously it'll take a bit longer for folks actually making them to convert or start new things, but as with many other can-do-it-in-lockdown things COVID has brought about a new surge in interest across the board.
