http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/chikorita2.pngIntroductionhttp://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/chikorita.png
This will be the second version of Ruby Destiny. However, unlike the first version, which was Reign of Legends, where I only did almost all the stuff solo, this time, I wanna have a hack team to help me. So, my team and I introduces to you, POKéMON Ruby Destiny - Rescue Rangers!

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/pikachu-1.pngStoryhttp://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/pikachu-2.png
You're just a simple and average kid living in the real world. The day has come, yes! It's your 12th birthday. To celebrate it, you invited 4 of your friends who, like you, loves POKéMON as well. But then, when you were about to begin, a strange aura came in the room and made you loose your consciousness.
Once you woke up, you found yourself deep in the forest which you aren't familiar with, and then you heard strange cries of animals. You checked it out and to your surprise, you found a Torchic and a Chikorita for real, or, they found you.
A dream come true, or a nightmare? They told you that you're a POKéMON as well, a Pikachu! Shocked and confused, they offered you to join their Rescue Team. Having nowhere else to go, you agreed. And so your journey, as a new being, begins.

Well, the reason for me to do this hack with my team is to create an enjoyable hack for you all. Knowing that there are lots of other excellent hacks around, I only wish to hack for fun, and not to compete with anyone here on the forum. Though we can't guarantee a perfect hack with no errors, I just hope you find this one a worthwhile ROM-hack to play.

Before playing the hack, be sure to read the rules on how to apply patches (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=73966), and make sure that your Ruby ROM has the MUGS intro, as what you can see inside the spoiler in the screenshots.

If you found some bugs or errors in the game, please post them in the thread entitled POKéMON Ruby Destiny Help Thread (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=123948) located in the Scrapbox.

Also, always remember to have fun while playing the hack game. ;)

[~Ryukaa]

Yo DJG! Your hacck finally got into the show case! Good Luck! Oh and I got first post.

[manutdrule]

this hack is defintiely reminiscent of that of mystery dungeon. Im not really a fan of that kind of game, but im still very much looking forward to this one. the overworld is good, and...what is with that zelda-esque (or is it not, or wat?) room in the third last screenie lol ? anyway gd luck to the team on this hack!

[ShineGreymΘn]

Nice work!

~Smell

[Cirnos Servant]

Congratulations on getting it up :).
It looks good so far, The best thing I liked about it were the three Pokemon?
I don't know how you did it, (wouldn't the palettes be too small for three pokemon)?

I also recommend changing the tree, maybe using one of the threes from Fr or Emerald.
I'll see if I can find it for you, it looks farely similiar, and would do a good job.
I'll have it up in a few minutes.

Edit:
Here ya go!, I think it's from emerald, not too sure.

[Caina]

.....I never thought you would include meh in the team when I helped you. Oh well. Nice outcome...(even though I see you hack EVERYDAY...). Still good luck. You'll need it. :P

Anyways, everything seems to be ok...for now.
I will be expecting some of your "demands" in making you some sprites. Well....,

Au Revoir...

[driger369]

This is going to be amazing! I'm waiting for MD2 so this is going to be the perfect way to wait! I can't wait to see it, good luck!

[destinedjagold]

Yo DJG! Your hacck finally got into the show case! Good Luck! Oh and I got first post.

Lucky you to be the first one to post! :P
Anyways, yeah, I'm glad it's up... :)
That means we'll be working harder to give everyone a nice hack. ^^

Thanks and I don't get you with your comment about the third-to-the-last screeny... :\
I ain't no Zelda fan, though.., but thanks.
Also, this ain't no remake of Mystery DUngeon, but it's like those games. ;)

Er, well, thanks, but I spent 5 days just to work on one tree tile.., so I think I'll be keeping the old tree.
Thanks anyways.

YAY!!!!!!!!

I got half days today and tomorrow.

[Da Man]

The Three Main Characters(Pikachu, Torchic, Chikorita) Won't Evolve

Can't they evolve after completing the main story? You know like in the Mystery Dungeon games?

Be nice to have stronger pokemon unless there is a reason why they won't evolve.

[Mitchman]

Wooh its up im so happy litterally came here every day to see if its up so if you need any ideas ill be avalible and also for mappin. I also redid a lot of maps in reighn of legends to make it look better
(in my opion of course)

[destinedjagold]

Can't they evolve after completing the main story? You know like in the Mystery Dungeon games?

Be nice to have stronger pokemon unless there is a reason why they won't evolve.

the main reason why they won't evolve is because it could ruin the balance of the game... For instance, the overworlds... and the back sprite... :\

[Legend12]

Man this is so cool. Nice work. I am sure you will fix all your bugs very soon and I can't wait to play the Beta. Your games are always the best! xD

[KageX]

oh my god rescue rangers is up, this hack is like nothing ive seen, you have offically out =done yourself

[Bombah!]

Looks very good, but 1 thing:
WHY???????? WHY PIKACHU????
I know it´s THE Pokémon, but really, I don´t like it^^ (It´s just me, I think lol)
Why don´t you let the player choose? Like in Mystery Dungeon, without the questions...

And hey, did you make these Overworlds?

Anyways, good luck,
Bombah!

[zel 2.0]

First, good luck on this new project.
And, I know it's still a bit early to give a rushed opinion, so I'll wait till this takes a bit more of shape. An interesting idea, but... it's really weird to see the oversized Pikachu OW talking with real people (O.O), and I'm curious about how the three Pokémon will battle...(:S) That's all I'll say.

But I'll check it out often. It'll improve, I'm sure of that.

[GodSaurus]

I'm liking this hack. It's cery original and promises a good future.

The problem that I see is that the pokemon's overworlds doesn't seem to combine with the tiles.

[flareonmaster]

this is awesome.
keep on the great work

[wolverfrog]

wow, how awsome! destinyjagold did a brilliant job with reign of legends, so this is gonna be somthing special. also, a beta already! and i love the way you've managed to make pokemon sprites! well done(goes to download)

[The Smell]

Wow! Downloading the beta now!

~Smell

[Aurα]

when i went to land of dead 2nd time i got into hall of fame...

[The Smell]

Wow! This storyline is so cool! I can't wait to finish this game! And it's only the first beta!

Btw, where does the first beta end?

~Smell

[wolverfrog]

hey, this is great, iv'e just downloaded it, and it's really good, would it be within the bounds of the game to make it so, if you switched a pikachu with a chikorita on the list, would it be possible to make a chikorita overworld show up? also, i hvnt played much but is it possible to capture new pokemon in this beta? if so, you can't exactly use a pokeball can you? it would seem a bit degrading. how about you throw, say, a contact, and the pokemon wobbles(like in the ball) as he's thinking about it, and he either says yes or no, and the lower his health got, the more he'd want to sign up. im no spriter, but i'm pretty sure you could change the text and the graphic of the pokeball coudn't you? anyways, great work, well done.

PIKACHU is because.., well.., it's the main PKMN in any PKMN games... :D
And also, doing such is really my team's original idea, however, I think it ain't possible, considering the fact that the hacker should assign different OverWorlds to their choice... I don't have that much of the knowledge, though... :\

Ahahah... :D
The battle is same old-same old. Just removed the POKéBALL animation and changed the backsprite. ;)
Thanks, zel.

I'm liking this hack. It's cery original and promises a good future.

The problem that I see is that the pokemon's overworlds doesn't seem to combine with the tiles.

Yeah, well... C3LEBI hasn't been around for a while, though...
He was supposed to change the graphics... :\
Oh well... No harm done. :D

Wow, I can't believe it's up already! I really liked Reign of Legends, so I'll love this hack! Good luck!
I'd also love to help with sprites and tiles.

Yes, please, the more spriters, the better results. ^^
I'll PM ya if we need anything, k..? :P
Thanks.

when i went to land of dead 2nd time i got into hall of fame...

Yeah.., I know. I did that on purpose.

Wow! This storyline is so cool! I can't wait to finish this game! And it's only the first beta!

Btw, where does the first beta end?

~Smell

You'll know when you play through it all. :P

hey, this is great, iv'e just downloaded it, and it's really good, would it be within the bounds of the game to make it so, if you switched a pikachu with a chikorita on the list, would it be possible to make a chikorita overworld show up? also, i hvnt played much but is it possible to capture new pokemon in this beta? if so, you can't exactly use a pokeball can you? it would seem a bit degrading. how about you throw, say, a contact, and the pokemon wobbles(like in the ball) as he's thinking about it, and he either says yes or no, and the lower his health got, the more he'd want to sign up. im no spriter, but i'm pretty sure you could change the text and the graphic of the pokeball coudn't you? anyways, great work, well done.

Well, pokeballs are removed. and I intend the players not to catch any pokemon in this hack...
instead, some pkmn around will join you through scripts.
depends on the plot I'm writing.

and btw, I'm destinedjagold, not destinyjagold. :P

[adamb241]

I liked it a lot, the story line was very original! The only ting I didn't like was that every time you moved you would encounter a wild pokemon........
Maybe decrease the encounter rate?

[Naoi]

I just finished the beta and I thought it was...totally awesome!
I can't wait to play beta 2.
But I think you should cut the pokemon frequency rate down a little.
It's outrageously annoying.
Anyway, GL.

[Darkly the flygon]

I have an idea for another bad guy later on...
do you think you could put in a Dark flygon and call him XD002?

[ҳ̸ҲRichie]

A crazy and original idea, the graphics can get better, but personally I don't care much.
I hope to see more, you know, some scripts... o more screens and tiles
Good luck with all your projects!!

[gotron228]

hey DJG sorry I ahvnt been wit the community for a while Im actually looking forward to playing this I never knew reign of legends would be come a series anyway great hack and nicly structured!

[Jesse[TB Pro]]

Wow! You are a master DJG! I played through the beta, and...wow! Only a couple of text running off the box errors, and such were what I could spot:) This is one of the best looking hacks out there!

[Darkly the flygon]

I have an idea for another bad guy later on...

[ryanycg]

cool this looks nice.
the hero sprite is a PIKACHU and it is weird.

[adamb241]

Did you read the beginning scripts? He is going to a birthday party dressed in a Pikachu suit.

[More4Life]

The beta was very good, except for a few text errors it was bug free. Though this is not my type of game it still was worth it.

[Retribution]

:) This is AWESOME.
And the fact its based upon PMD is better (Never played or bought it so it is all new :) )
Anyway,
This is looking super super awesome.

P.S: The only bad thing I can think of is the sprites look a bit freaky compared to the tiles however I still like the fact you used MD sprites :)

[wildarms001]

yes the rescue ranger finally in hack showcase :D ill try your beta ryt now :D also i support your hack gud luck to your hack project :D

Ahahahah! :D
May be I'll decrease it. Hm... I'll think about it, though. ;)
Thanks.

Heh, thanks. I'd love to help you sprite, and I'll try to make little project where I'll fix up all of your tiles, because they have a lot of errors. I'll make them perfect! (by the way, when you enter the building where your friends greet you happy birthday, the text goes past the textbox :P).

Anyway, I'm still tinkering with it, so keep it up!

Thanks so much, Es.., I mean, Keyrin. :D

I have an idea for another bad guy later on...
do you think you could put in a Dark flygon and call him XD002?

Erm... I ain't adding no more fakemons except for Angeallen, Devihell, ---------, ------- and ---------.
(What would ya expect? I ain't planning to spoil everything! :D)
But I'll think about it, though. Thanks and one post is enough...

A crazy and original idea, the graphics can get better, but personally I don't care much.
I hope to see more, you know, some scripts... o more screens and tiles
Good luck with all your projects!!

my major ability is in mapping, though, second in scripting...
Spriting and others that is under the graphics ain't my best hack skills...
Yet, thanks for the comment! =3

hey DJG sorry I ahvnt been wit the community for a while Im actually looking forward to playing this I never knew reign of legends would be come a series anyway great hack and nicly structured!

Hi Gotron! It has been quite a while now! How are ya!?

Thanks so much...
I can't do it all without my team though.
They need some credit, too. ;)

[Glacier]

Well done DJG this is looking incredible so far ust like DOL

[wildarms001]

oic im sorry :D hope you and your team finishd this wonderful hack :D gudluck looking forward to your next update :D

[Lupe]

wow jagold very nice some questions,will you edit the start of the battle? i mean when the player throws the pokeball,also i think you should edit he side view of pikachu it looks fat,and good luck and hope you will finish this hack like you did with your last one

[Mitchman]

Jagold I once posted about a page back if I can do some maps and never answered so what do you think

[MudMast]

you could rename the trainer card to something else

and if you die you are in hall of fame...

you could change credits to 'some being brought back to life thing'

on trainer card, the 'hall of fame thing' could be changed or removed (somehow)
or made into a 'how many times failed in dungeon'

just some things...

[wolverfrog]

i was wondering, wouldn't it have been easier to make a hack out of red rescue team? then you wouldn't have had to majorly edit it.
keyrin:mabye he called it rescue ranger 'cos its a mixture of both mystery dungeon and ranger. or mabye he just thought the name sounded cool;)

[Xiros]

I haven't finished the beta yet, but i can tell u that this hack is great!
I love the idea, its amazing, and the events are good.
About mapping, its fine, but u should do the dungeons bigger and more difficult. Also many wild pokémon appear, i think u should lower that.
And please, change the graphics xD
Good luck!

[destinedjagold]

wow jagold very nice some questions,will you edit the start of the battle? i mean when the player throws the pokeball,also i think you should edit he side view of pikachu it looks fat,and good luck and hope you will finish this hack like you did with your last one

I already edited those parts, Lupe. :D
Thanks. =3

Jagold I once posted about a page back if I can do some maps and never answered so what do you think

Erm.., yeah, I think I saw that post, but I think I'm cool with mapping by myself, thogh. Thanks! =3

Hm... By the way, Jagold, why is the game called Rescue Rangers (sorry if I missed it somewhere in your thread)? I just wanted to know, because Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Ranger are totally different...

Anyway, hope to get some nice requests for sprites here!
Good lucK!

Actually, the first plan I had was to make a PKMN Ranger style hack where the player is a human and rescues other PKMN...
But then I got inspired in doing a PMN styled hack when I saw the trailer of PMD 2... And Rescue Rangers didn't came from both POKéMON games, though... The name came from one of the Disney Channel Cartoon Series 'Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers'... :P

Thanks! =3

I don't think it's easy to hack PKMN Mystery Dungeon games, though... :\

But that's not too important as of now... Mapping, Scripting, Spriting and Plot are the important things I should orry most for the time being. xD
But thanks. =3

II don't think it's easy to hack PKMN Mystery Dungeon games, though... :\

now that you come to mention it, i don't think iv' ever heard of a md hack, which is a shame beause it would be pretty interesting yet hard i suppose...

[thethethethe]

I didn't want to post until I got through the beta. I enjoyed what was there. I like what's in here, already more than the beginning of Reign of Legends.
Also, I somehow got to a place where there were normal trainers. I took a wrong turn somewhere on the mission with the Aerodactyl battle, and I was in a place that was with the original Ruby scripts. Has anyone done that too, or is it just me?

anyways, what was the place like..? ?_?
Desert..?

[Naoi]

I went there too, but I left cause I figured DJG didn't finish that area.
He could've block it so we couldn't go there yet, but I guess he was so busy he forgot...
Can't wait to play B2!
GL!

EDIT: we posted at the same time and yes, it was the desert.

[Virtual Chatot]

Wow...Just...Wow xD

This is starting to look like a great project, and hopefully it'll be able to top Reign of Legends. ;)

Just a thought, I wonder how many hackers have actually finished a hack and then continued on with another project?

[destinedjagold]

no idea, Heatran, but that's never in my mind though... I just hack for fun and that's it. xD

anyways, I thought I removed all those trainers in that desert... O.o
Hm... I must have replaced the real beta for one of my back-ups...
thanks for the report, thethethethe and shinypkmnfan. ;)

[Hedgehogger]

Well, after playing the first Beta, I must say, I didn't think it would be that good, but it had me playing for a few hours! I've spotted a few mistakes (One that stuck out in my mind most was that the wild Tropius was called TORPIUS), but it's a Beta, and you're still fixing it, I'm aware. You did an excellent job on all those scripts and OW sprites; it would've taken me AGES to put in several scripts off of one location without killing offsets, and it shows in your work.

Glad to know you've done something a bit more unique and succeeded (especially since I loved playing Mystery Dungeon as well), and I can't wait till the second Beta! ...Or at least to finish the first one!

[fisshy]

it is very good to bad it is a short beta

[adamb241]

Well since the encounter rate is so high it took me forever!
XD

[wolverfrog]

i'd be quite good if the game had some referance's to mystery dungeon, like everyone hating a human coming because the last timem it happened a disaster struck.
and is gardevoiur meant the be the same gardevoiur off md?

I ain't saying anything! :D *zips mouth*
Anyways, my mouth is zipped, but my fingers' aren't. :D
Well, it's already in the plot outline, but that's all I gotta say. I won't spoil everything... ;)
It won't be fun if I spoil everything. :P

[Tensa Zangetsu]

This hack is Extremley Impressive. I love the videos and the way you mapped It. Well Done.

[manaphyione]

when i went to the room with his friends i was transported to a place called sinister t when i walk there are invisible walls how could i get out of this place ?

[H2O Turquoise]

It's excellent! I love it! Just in the dessert, where the sandstorm is, there are Chikoritas and even humans!

Btw, how do you get more Pokemon if you can't catch them?

Sinister Woods in too -not original-. I'd think of something else... Like Vextra Woods (Sinistra=left, Vextra=right)

And since you are in nature, I would change Max Revives into Reviver Seeds or something... And other things that aren't in nature, too...

IT'S C00L!

<_>

I want to help you! PM me and tell me what to do!

[Virtual Chatot]

hi im alex (pokemon rox) and i was wondering does a beta mean finished just need to fix some bugs? thnx

Beta means an incomplete game, and its meant to give you a taste of what the finished product is going to be like.

[zel 2.0]

Hey, call me crazy, but I got an idea which may seem interesting, and it's not hard to implement. I'll put it in a spoiler.
I haven't played the Beta, so I'm not sure of how you want that "three pokemon as one" system to work. Anyway, this is what I thought.

Let's remember: We have 6 elemental evolution stones. So, why dont you use Amplifier and change the way the "three pokemon" evolve. But instead of calling it an "evolution", call it a "switching". Instead of evolving, change the "main pokemon of the three" (would be like, saying who's the leader). That way, after "switching", the group would be able to learn different attacks, depending on who's the leader (of course, you still are able to use the old attacks, but that just adds to the fun of finding your favorite combinations on the right time. Not to mention that different team combinations would give different stats combinations. Which combo would be best for your next mission?)

I dont really think I need an example. But I'm going to do it anyway... Having 6 elemental stones would allow you to... although not sure, making more than 3 set Pokemon in the team.
Pika+Chiko+Torchic use X-Switch (the evo stone), and become Chiko+Pika+Torchic (Chiko's leader now). But Pika+Chiko+Torchic use Y-Switch and become Kingdra+Pika+Torchic team (obviously, I used Kingdra as an example >o<).
Now, lets say we have Chiko+Pika+Torchic after using the X-Switch. Now, as in reality it's just another Pokemon in disguise, if we use the X-Switch again, it becomes the Pika+Chiko+Torchic team. Hehe... Troublesome to work on the combinations, but you've got to admit that it sounds interesting... ;)

By the way, I'm leaving this idea to be used only by DJ. Although if he doesn't want to do it, and someone else wants to think about it, then be my guest :P

[Ryu Serpntine]

I just played through it and I love it! I can't wait to see more of this game. You mentioned about having some kind of event to introduce new team members, I'm hoping for an event with ROSE.

Great beta, can't wait to see more of t, and good luck.

[cloudstrife]

hello
ive been playing rescue rangers. what are supposed to do after you blank out in your birthday party?
all i see is gray and a pikachu.
thanks

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

I got done with the first beta.In the second beta can you change the hotel's outside to look smaller,because it seems too tall and wide.But I do like some new locations you put,such as Pokemon square.

zel, if you played through the beta, then I guess you've known... But that's a really good idea, however, does that mean, Chiko+Torc+Pika in one PKMN sprite, then Chiko+Pika+Torc on another and so on..? That is indeed a good idea... But I guess I'll think over it, though, and talk to my team first. :P
But thanks for this idea, zel... ;)

when i went to the room with his friends i was transported to a place called sinister t when i walk there are invisible walls how could i get out of this place ?

I can't help you there, bud. You have to have a clean Ruby ROM... The one with the 'mugs' intro...

It's excellent! I love it! Just in the dessert, where the sandstorm is, there are Chikoritas and even humans!

Great beta, can't wait to see more of t, and good luck.

ROSE does have an event... 2, actually, the Team GreenLeaf battle and the Aerodactyl battle... The other 3 of the player's friends will also have an event. ;)

hello

Yeah, sure. Why not? :D Thanks.

[Ryu Serpntine]

@DJG: I think you misunderstood what I meant. I was actually saying that I was hoping for an event where ROSE will join the party(since obviously we won't be catching pokemon).

Once again great job on this hack.

[destinedjagold]

ah, okies... And to answer your question, yes, there will be. I ain't spoiling anything for now. :P

[zel 2.0]

however, does that mean, Chiko+Torc+Pika in one PKMN sprite, then Chiko+Pika+Torc on another and so on..?

Yeah, that's the idea. I dont know how many combinations would be possible, but each combo would use a slot for a Pokemon (in the end, you've used a slot for one existing poke, or a MissingNo, for the "team Pokemon" so I guess you wouldn't have problems sacrificing others. Or maybe the missingNo.'s slots would be enough to not sacrifice anyone)

And, I'm waiting a bit for playing the Beta. I'm sure it may have a few bugs and still not too much gameplay. I'm a freak on that aspect, so that's why I'm trying to hold on :P

[destinedjagold]

I'll think over it, zel... It's a very good idea, but it also has a negative side... :\
One sprite for three PKMN.., K.O.'d and all three are dead. :P

Anyways, new banners are in the first page. Look and see. ^^ Made by one of my members, ~ShadowUmbreon~...

I am currently mapping Aqua Swamp... That's all, for I don't wanna spoil much. What's in there is for you to find out! ;) Chow~~~

[H2O Turquoise]

Is Aqua Swamp another mission place?

btw, I noticed that it writes BOQUET FIELD. It's BOUQUET.

And the Pikachu you are is a little too big. I understand that you can't be small if you celebrate 12th birthday, but...

[Veng3anc3]

Like most people are saying.. You might want to size down the Pikachu a bit, I didn't get the whole story (I downloaded the beta, But when I played, The maps were glitchy, And the Pikachu was pink o______o Bad rom perhaps) But what I've seen so far, Look like another impressing hack by you.
Can't wait to see more of this, Keep it up^^

[zel 2.0]

And, isnt that the way it's working now, anyway? :P

It's simple to make that more realistic. Just increase the stats of the "poke team" to make it stronger than one poke. Talk about "team strength", if the "team strength" is 0, team is over... It makes sense to me.
And again, it's not like always battling with one poke (team in this case) will be boring. As the leveling up while doing combinations is what'll give some excitment to the game (Man... If we only could add more than 4 attacks the idea would be even better)

Well, it's up to you. I just got interested in the concept and wanted to put some of my creativity into it :laugh:

[Teh Baro]

Yeah, that's the idea. I dont know how many combinations would be possible

Hmmmm

BEHOLD, PURE MATHEMATICS TIME! COMBINATORICS!

Let n be the number of pokemon that he's going to put in teams of 3.
Since ABC != CBA (order matters) and elements can't be repeated, the number of total possible teams is variations of n elements taken in groups of 3, V(n,3)=n!/(n-3)!
Which is a large number unless n is a small number. For example, if you're putting 10 pokemon in teams, the total possible teams would be 10!/7!=10*9*8=720.

Without the "leading pokemon" thing (ABC=ACB=BAC=BCA=CAB=CBA, it'd be C(n,3)= n over 3 = n! / (3! * (n-3)!), which is a smaller number. For 10 pokemon, there'd be 10! / (3! * 7!) = (10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(3*2*7*6*5*4*3*2*1)=(10*9*8)/(3*2)=10*3*4=120


Here's some wikipedia support
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorics

[digitelanimefan]

Did I screw up? xD

Somehow I found an ultraball while playing (In the second mission area...somehwere.) and caught a Bellsprout to teach it cut. But hearing that we will get three other partners through events...erm, ya. O.o So first, why was there an ultraball on the ground if we're not supposed to use it? And second, how can I get rid of the bellsprout? xD

Well, The Ultraball was probably a glitch. Without the computers around, you can't get rid of the bellsprout.

No, it is not. The PLAYER has a CHIKORITA, PIKACHU and a TORCHIC to begin with... :\
Hm... Now that you mention it... I guess it could be nice.
Then again, I need to think of it further more. xD

Hmmmm

Without the "leading pokemon" thing (ABC=ACB=BAC=BCA=CAB=CBA, it'd be C(n,3)= n over 3 = n! / (3! * (n-3)!), which is a smaller number. For 10 pokemon, there'd be 10! / (3! * 7!) = (10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(3*2*7*6*5*4*3*2*1)=(10*9*8)/(3*2)=10*3*4=120


Here's some wikipedia support
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorics

LOL! I understood merely half of the equation...
I love math, but I tend to forget things. xD

Did I screw up? xD

Somehow I found an ultraball while playing (In the second mission area...somehwere.) and caught a Bellsprout to teach it cut. But hearing that we will get three other partners through events...erm, ya. O.o So first, why was there an ultraball on the ground if we're not supposed to use it? And second, how can I get rid of the bellsprout? xD

Wenks... *goes to check*
Wow... There was... Thanks for the report! ;)

Lol catch the boss of the area and then were talking

Ahahah! LOL!

[Retribution]

Evil :(
I so wanted to catch Regirock, Aerodactyl and Bulbasaur :(
Anyway completed the beta :)
It was good except I think i remember a couple (But not many tile areas), one in Sinister woods.
And like I mentioned earlier the sprites :)
Anyway good luck :)

[digitelanimefan]

Wenks... *goes to check*
Wow... There was... Thanks for the report! ;)


Heh, no problem. :P The words "How did THAT get there?" Come to mind though. xD

[Fendaril]

I love it how you still move in the truck even though it isn't there. Like your going to missingNo. island. LOL. Maybe I might find a level 130 poke.

[destinedjagold]

Heh, no problem. :P The words "How did THAT get there?" Come to mind though. xD

well, the lack of beta testing is the cause of that Ultra Ball there... :P

anyways, it seems I can't update you guys for anything if my internet connection is so damn slow and in a stop-and-go system... -_- it needs to be fixed...

Well, a few updates... I am still mapping Aqua Swamp. Yet, the name will be changed though, depends of the suitable name for the plot...

Also, new OverWorlds inserted.
And expect one of the player's real-life friend to have an event to join you.

zel... I still haven't decided yet...

That will be all for now...

[DarthSenorQueso]

are you going to get all the pokemon i want a treeko.

[H2O Turquoise]

It's kind of not very C00L because you can't get more Pokemon.

There could be (a Pokemon, doesn't matter who it is, a Porygon, for example) in Pokemon Square that can store your Pokemon in Virtual Space (Porygon has the script of computer in Pokecenters). You can catch Pokemon with Apricorns of something (of course you must catch a Pokemon in a mission). And when you catch it, it goes to the Virtual Space in Porygon's (the box in the PC).

I wrote this idea of mine. You can say it's good or you can say it's bad.

btw. I love the Abra you made and its script!!!

[Naoi]

He already said I think a post back that u can get certain pokemon through script, he just hasn't told anyone which ones.
In other words, it's a secret.

[H2O Turquoise]

oh sorry :shame:

I just had an idea... ROSE!

btw - We also need a move deleter, name rater and a move relearner in Pokemon Square

destinedjagold a si slovenc? če nisi itak ne bi razumeu

[sparda_200_8]

Awesome DJG hope u finish the hack soon can't wait for the full version

[Luck]

Awesome DJG hope u finish the hack soon can't wait for the full version

well be patient because i don't think this hack is that old yet.
anyways i'm going to download it right after i get a clean ruby rom.
i will like this because of the amazing game you made and finished.
you know what i mean.;)

[aaronburnsyou]

Well I've only played through the 2nd mission, but as of what I've played so far, I loved everything, except....

The beginning dungeon (Sinister Woods) lacks a way to heal poison. I know that there are healing plants occasionally, but I still almost died from Wurmple-induced poisoning, so that may be something to think about.

[Ruka Prince]

Just finished the beta. All I wanted to say the beta is great although it's a bit short though.
Found another glitch. If you go to B.F, and keep going left, I end up ina desert full Ruby trainers and ruby texts.

[Naoi]

We already covered that...
DJG is I think finished with that area or is getting to it.

[destinedjagold]

yeah, thanks for backing me up, shinypkmnfan...
And as he stated, I am done fixing that area... though it was weird 'caus ebefore I made a patch, Silver Desert was already done...
Oh well... There weren't any events there, anyways. ^^

[AlexAhnon]

Great hack you got here, i played through the hole Beta but i did see some errors, the 1 error was the Rock at Regirock and i also comed to a Desert with ruby Trainers and they battled me lol, but anyway keep up the good work :)

[YellowPen]

hey has there been any thoughts on double or triple battles

But like imagine a triple battle....man that would be cool

[H2O Turquoise]

how would you make a triple battle?

you can't make a triple battle, destinedjagold, can't you?????

[destinedjagold]

Great hack you got here, i played through the hole Beta but i did see some errors, the 1 error was the Rock at Regirock and i also comed to a Desert with ruby Trainers and they battled me lol, but anyway keep up the good work :)

fixed. :P
thanks for posting, btw. ;)

hey has there been any thoughts on double or triple battles

But like imagine a triple battle....man that would be cool

how would you make a triple battle?

uh, what? :\
double battles, yes, there will be, but triple!? xD
I wish I could do that though...

anyways, here are little updates for today. since it's finally our summer vacation, I can now put my attention to this hack o' mine. xD
also, I think I'm gonna be a Regigigas, with it's Slow Start, since I will be slowly getting the rhythm of hacking back again. but I need more sleep, so yeah.., x_x
oh well... here are some screenies pipz!
oh and, AQUA SWAMP renamed to VAPID SWAMP... ^^

[DarthSenorQueso]

This should be like in mystery dungeon where they join after a battle sometimes.

[pharaohguy530]

Just downloaded and played this hack...and beat the beta already 0.o It was really cool though I like it a lot!
Just one thing...when I was playing, I lost to the final boss, Aerodactyl, and when I was revived, it said I beat the Elite 4 0.o Is this a known glitch? I was thinking it was the only way to get back to Pokemon Square but it seems kind of weird that I went to the part where it shows what pokemon you've used to beat the elite and then the credits...

[HackLars]

Cool project xD
(the tiles aren't good)

[H2O Turquoise]

of course they are good I like the trees

I know what I'll do. I'll kidnap destinedjagold and torture him until he finishes the game l_0l_

I love the game yay

[HackLars]

mmm
the trees maybe yes but the other tiles are the same tile of ruby bases

[BlackCharizard]

This is an awesome hack, been playing it for almost a couple hours now, only bugs I've found are pokemon (bad pun humor T.T)... Anyway, fun story and very well done hack!

[destinedjagold]

Thanks so much for the comments.
Anyways, here's the new looks of Silver Desert just outside VAPID SWAMP.

Thank you pipz! ^^
Thanks to WAH for the cactus tiles. ;)

[wildarms001]

nice pix :D and why is theres a secret ladder in the tree :D

[Naoi]

Well that's where he's hiding the stairs to the next floor.

[destinedjagold]

apparently, these internet connections slows me down for updating you guys...
hm...

anyways, I just wanna let you know that the event in VAPID SWAMP is done!
Now I'm proceeding to the next script.

That would be all. Thank you~

[Brushfire]

Wow... I've played this game for no more then 10 minutes and I already love it! It's a great game! I didn't like the style of Mystery Dungeon but I love this!!

*Adds to "Hacks I Support"*

The only suggestion I can make is that it would be good if you could get your team following you? Meh... oh well.

[adamb241]

Nice updates DJG. The cactus tiles look very nice and fit in perfectly....

[jouruichi]

First of all congratulaition to your new hack DJG!
I've also made a banner for your hack.
Good luck and have fun hacking!

[H2O Turquoise]

Will you ips every mission or will you post a new ips for every 4 missions, destinedjagold?

[destinedjagold]

thank you all and thanks for that new banner. ;)
and yeah, my original plan is to make ips patches for every 4 new missions, but it depends if I find it short...

also, I don't know how to make some overworlds follow you around...

[H2O Turquoise]

Make it in one sprite. It's not such a good idea to do that, because you can't go in some places without making the paths larger. And how would you join Eevee then?

and you can tell me which OWs you need. I can draw OWs very good

[destinedjagold]

erm, are you refering to me..?
anyways, I ain't no spriter, so I guess I'll leave it as is.

oh yeah, forgot to inform you that I added the world map of Rescue Rangers in the first post. ;)

take a look. It's done with paint. :P

[zel 2.0]

I took a look at it. It seems interesting, and it'll be more once it's inserted in the game :P

Well, keep it up, DJ! ;)

[Cirnos Servant]

I'm still impatient with those trees ;p.
Meh.. This is looking very nice, i'm still wondering about all these features your adding :).
I don't plan on playing until it's almost half into the game, I don't like short betas... Cause you have to keep restarted.
Good luck on this.
get rid of those trees!

[Tensa Zangetsu]

You are really woking your socks off on this hack, It's been coming along quite fast.

[Binary]

Well today We made the titlescreen and changed some graphics, so I hope DJG shows you all some updates. But the titlescreen isn't finished yet ( pallete changes are left to do).
Adios!

[Cid]

Cool hack! BTW, will you add some DP pokemon like your previous hack (Ruby Destiny:Reign of Legends)? (maybe you can get Mystery Dungeon sprites from the new "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Time and Darkness Exploration Team" in case youll add the DP pkmn and need some sprites...)
Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm a huge fan of Reign of Legends (even before I signed up here) and now I'm a fan of Rescue Rangers too...
Maybe I can help with beta-testing and with mapping (if that's okay with you)...

[DiggorysGremlin]

Very nice hack. I downloaded the beta yesterday, and died when I was about to rescue Rose. Then, I went to the Land Of The Dead [Which i think is VERY cool], but when I was about to be ressurected, it welcomed me and my partners to the Hall of Fame. Yea. ??? But still, VERY nice hack. BTW, who is that trainer/lady in the land of the dead?

[destinedjagold]

I took a look at it. It seems interesting, and it'll be more once it's inserted in the game :P

Well, keep it up, DJ! ;)

Thanks so much, zel! =3

I'll show them some updates after you send me back the IPS file... ;)

Well, I don't think I'll be adding any D/P PKMNs anymore, but it depends in the flow of time.
Thanks for the suggestion, btw. :)

BTW, who is that trainer/lady in the land of the dead?

I forgot to edit/fix that place. Thanks. :)
That woman was WALLY's mother.

[H2O Turquoise]

I don't remember WALLY's mother being dead ?<>?

[destinedjagold]

Ahahahah... No.
I forgot to remove her there... I was planning on changing her OverWorld for Devihell, but I guess I forgot! xD

Anyways, I'm still waiting for C3LEBI to finish the pallete editing before I can move on...

[The Smell]

Well, I can't wait. ^^

I haven't been to the Land of the Dead. :) My team is unstoppable! :D

~Smell

[ace675]

I love the story its very intreging. I am looking forwaed to playing this. Great job keep it up Ace-

[sparcloud]

this is the desert part ( you can battle these people)

also when you use cut you turn human

~sparcloud~

[destinedjagold]

thanks for these findings! ;)
Though I already know some of those. Thanks again! ;)

[Lockmaster24]

Max Revive is a berry now and how far does this Beta go?

I still like the hack keep it up

[AlexPriest]

Chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers! Chip and Dale, when there's danger! (Sorry, couldn't resist XD)

This hack looks good, or it has potential anyways. Keep up your work. I'd hate to see this hack go unfinished like so many others :(

[destinedjagold]

Max Revive is a berry now and how far does this Beta go?

I still like the hack keep it up

Sorry, but I already fied that Max Revive in the Berry slot. :D

The beta has 4 missions, until Rose's special event in Garden Field. ;)

Chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers! Chip and Dale, when there's danger! (Sorry, couldn't resist XD)

This hack looks good, or it has potential anyways. Keep up your work. I'd hate to see this hack go unfinished like so many others :(

Nah~ It's alright. That's where I took the name, from Chip And Dales. :D
I love them.

And also, I ain't planning on quitting on this one. :)
So don't worry...

Hm... My team's kinda passive lately...
Here's an update. The remap of the first part of Green hills' special event. I ain't telling what, and you'll be the one's to find out! :D

The graphic editing ain't finished yet, so please bear with me. :)

[Lockmaster24]

Ok then like the map so far and the game i forgot this before but i caught a pidgey can you get rid of this from your team?

[Ruka Prince]

Ok then like the map so far and the game i forgot this before but i caught a pidgey can you get rid of this from your team?

No, you can't remove them. Pokemon will be obainted through scripts as DJG said that.

[destinedjagold]

Ok then like the map so far and the game i forgot this before but i caught a pidgey can you get rid of this from your team?

you used the ultra ball you found in Fortune Valley, right? :\
There's no way for me to remove it...
Tha's why I'm waiting for someone to report if they found any catching items in the beta...

Thanks~

update: I just finished the 2nd Green Hill Event map. Only one more to go. :D

[sparcloud]

just a few more glitches
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee64/sparcloud/glitch8.jpg
your reflection is also in the rock to the left
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee64/sparcloud/glitch7.jpg
You probably can't fix this

glitchman away >>>>>>>>>>

[Lockmaster24]

ok i wont catch it again lol it was useful though

[destinedjagold]

okay pipz, hello and I'm here to bring some updates...
I just finished mapping Green Hills' Event Maps... And tomorrow I'll script the event.
After that I'll map the 'real' Green Hills. :D

Also, I just successfully inserted the three main legendaries of Rescue Rangers, which are Angeallen-Guardian of Heaven, Devihell-Guardian of Hell and Breatherna-Guardian of Life... Here are there sprites.

There will be 5 custom-made legendaries to add, and I'm waiting for Keyrin/Esmas to finish the 4th one while Benevolent Wings for the other one.
That would be all. Thanks pipz! ;)

[H2O Turquoise]

is devihell the last one?

[Virtual Chatot]

you used the ultra ball you found in Fortune Valley, right? :\
There's no way for me to remove it...
Tha's why I'm waiting for someone to report if they found any catching items in the beta...

Thanks~

update: I just finished the 2nd Green Hill Event map. Only one more to go. :D

Couldn't you just edit the Ultraball into something else? Like a status healing berry?

[DarthSenorQueso]

and will people join your team like pmd?

[destinedjagold]

is devihell the last one?

Yeah, the red one...

Couldn't you just edit the Ultraball into something else? Like a status healing berry?

Worry not. I already planned that I'll replace EVERY pokeball on the map. I already requested Nicolas to do so, but so far, no reply... I guess he's busy...
Oh well... I think I should ask Benevolent Wings then... :\

and will people join your team like pmd?

No... The only PKMN that will join you are through the scripts that I'll be putting in the hack. :)

[Cid]

Looks good so far, DJG! BTW, won't you allow players to deposit/withdraw(spelling?) the pokemon members? (I guess that'll spoil the backsprites if you deposit Pikachu/Torchic/Chikorita...
Also, will the 5 custom-made legendaries join your team or just fight you? It's okay if you don't answer... I could spoil the excitement anyway... Good luck with the completion of the game!

[destinedjagold]

erm... no, the player is not allowed to deposit/withdraw his/her pkmn members...
your reason why I didn't want the player to do so is indeed correct.

also, I am not yet done with the plot, so it's a 50-50 chance that one of the three(Angeallen, Breatherna, Devihell only) will join your team.

Thanks for supporting my team's hack, btw.

well, a few updates, the three main legendaries' cries are now changed, sacrificing 6 PKMNs that hopefully will not be in the hack. :)
that would be all. Thanks...

[Jvg]

I am really amazed, making a MD kind of hack on Ruby! I don't know how you came up with this idea but I think it's really impressiv what i've seen so far. Making all those area's with events, and unlike the real MD you have to make the dungeon instead of a computer which creates a new one every time you enter. Must be a lot of work, But I know you know how to do it.

I will keep an eye on this hack, I really like it.

Good Luck DJG,
Finish this hack and you're my hero for sure :P

[destinedjagold_no1_fans]

Nice! im downloading this right away!!!

[wildarms001]

wow nice updates djg and your team :D hope the 3 legendaries will join the team thats will be great :D gudluck to your hack!! best wishes :D

[destinedjagold_no1_fans]

err.. when the Beta2 is out? and good ;uck i will always support you!

[destinedjagold]

erm.., thanks for the comments guys.
I'm still scripting the Green Valley Event.

I haven't perfected the scirpts there yet, though. :)

[pokebrad]

yo gold you should make a firered hack.....then it will have some nice graphics yo pokemon ruby destiny mystery dungeon has a good opening story.

[destinedjagold]

I don't like to hack FireRed, yet, I don't know why. Oh well...

Anyways, I just finished the first script in Green hills' event. here are some screenies. thanks!

[H2O Turquoise]

1 more to go yay I can't wait what will be 8th mission?

[destinedjagold_no1_fans]

I cant wait for BETA 2! i hope its gonna be wondefull!!

[adamb241]

Great event you have there, can't wait to see what happens this time!

[destinedjagold]

Thanks.
Those screenies are the 6th event in the hack.

I'm about to script the last script in Green Hills and then I'll proceed to the 7th event.

That would be all. Thanks pipz! ;)

[Ruka Prince]

Hmm... I saw a screen with Diglett giving you Running Shoes... does the running sprite work for Pikachu? I don't want when Pikachu runs and it turns into a human.

[H2O Turquoise]

of course it's made for Pikachu

[destinedjagold]

Like IceCharizard just stated, yes, it's for a Pikachu, and no, the player will not turn into a human when you run. ;)

also, I have fixed some bugs as well, and I have changed the overworld when the player uses HM's... :)

And, I am done scripting all the events in Green Hills, finally! :D
It was really tiring, though, but worth it. ;)

Now I'm about to move to the next part of the plot.
Thanks pipz! ;)

[Dave-o-rama]

Nice work man! I like this hack! I dled it yesterday and i cant stop playing it ;)
When you switch your lead pokemon from Pikachu to a different pokemon, are you able to make it so the sprite will change?
That would be awesome.

[~Ryukaa]

hey guys, DJG's fanclub is open. Sorry if this is spam!

[H2O Turquoise]

Thanks.
Those screenies are the 6th event in the hack.

1.Sinister Woods
2.Fortune Valley
3.Bouquet Field
4.Garden Field
5.Vapid Swamp (?)
6.Silver Desert (?)
7.Green Hills (?)
8. ?

[destinedjagold]

thank you, and yes, that's really a cool idea, but sadly, it's not possible, or maybe it is, but way to difficult...

hey guys, DJG's fanclub is open. Sorry if this is spam!

I don't think it's a spam, ~SU~... ;)
Thanks. :)

1.Sinister Woods
2.Fortune Valley

Erm... 1 to 5 are correct, but 6 and 7 aren't...

6. Green hills
7. ?
8. ?

I haven't decided where the events will gonna be. :D

[ҳ̸ҲRichie]

I had had no time to prove your game, but now I finished to play it, and really your hack is great, I don't know how to say it, I've played some hacks and this is one of the best for me, I've said before this; the graphics aren't relevant for me, the scripts are good, but the idea, the originality and the story line have done this hack really amusing, I love the POKéMON Ruby Destiny - Rescue Rangers... Congratulations!!.

[destinedjagold]

Wow thanks. =3
It's really nice to hear from you, and yeah, tiles and sprites aren't my strong points in hacking. xD

well, anyways, I'm more on maps and scripts, and I guess the graphics will be at the bottom of my list. :)

Oh well... back to hacking. x3

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Jagold did you get the name Green Hills from the Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog for Genesis?

[destinedjagold_no1_fans]

yAY!!!! BeTa 2 is Comming !!! cant wait for it! go for it!! DJG!!

[Lockmaster24]

Go DJG! i cant wait either i loved it nice story line but hide that ultra ball or else yo will end up like me!!

[H2O Turquoise]

What did you end like? Was it bad?

[manaphyione]

very good !!!!!!! i played the beta and it has lots of good things like: the story, the music, the sprites, and many more. i may suggest one thing, befriending other pokemon like in mystery dungeon.but the game is great i wish the 2nd beta would come soon. GOOD LUCK !!!!! :)

[destinedjagold]

@ Ice Charizard...
nope. it wasn't as bad, but it wasn't meant to be there.
anyways, I fixed that Ultra Ball script and now, I'm mapping 4 more maps in Krystal Mountain. x3
After mapping then I'll proceed to scripting... :)

@ manaphyone...
thanks, but befriending other PKMN would be difficult though...
The only PKMN that will join your team are your friends in real life before the player turned unto a PKMN. ;)


Anyways...
1. Sinister Woods - Thread of Destiny
2. Fortune Valley - Legend's Cry
3. Bouquet Field - Faith On A Stranger
4. Garden Field - A Smile Worth Fighting For
5. Vapid Swamp -
6. Green Hills -
7. Mt. Krystal -
8.

[DarkFear]

Nice innovative storyline looks really good hope to see more hacks like this in the future!

[Cid]

Good luck on mapping and scripting Krystal Mountain (wondering what event will happen there)!

Anyway, when do you plan on making a Help Thread (like Reign of Legends) for Rescue Rangers? I know the other Help Thread is already annoying but how will you deal with those who still need help? (or maybe you plan on making the story easier than Reign of Legends)

[Ruka Prince]

@ Ice Charizard...

7. Mt. Krystal -
8.

Err... but you can befriend event pokemon like Regirock on a mission and make some text like: Regirock would like to join your team! Would you accept it as a team member? You can seclect Yes/No. Then you can put a Porygon in the Pokemon Square and he lets you to switch pokemon in your team when you have more than six pokemon in your rescue team.
You can give items to your team members in there. You have make a script that Pikachu, Chikorita and Torchic are unswitchble. The only matters is you have to make lots and lots of pokemon OWs if the area's avalible. The areas in Porygon's room are the areas in the actual MD's Befriend areas. Hope you can take my idea DJG.

[destinedjagold]

yeah but if the player deposits Chikorita, Torchi, and even Pikachu, then what would happen? :\

Still mapping Krystal Mountain. ;)

[Ruka Prince]

yeah but if the player deposits Chikorita, Torchi, and even Pikachu, then what would happen? :\

Well, you can make Porygon say: They're your main team members and friends! Don't let Chickorita or Torchic down!

Won't that be a little bit hard? I tried to ask that to DJG before, though I think no one has ever done that before... So I assume you need to be a complete genius to do that... (just an opinion)

[Teh Baro]

Well, you can make Porygon say: They're your main team members and friends! Don't let Chickorita or Torchic down!
That would require some asm.
Either that or... well, here goes a quick cheap method.

You could make the computer to make you warp to a "virtual world" where porygon waits for you to store your pokemon.
Then at the exit of the virtual world, put a script that checks if the player has Torchic or Chikorita, then complain if you don't have them.
If you try to leave without pikachu, it would say "you can't leave the virtual world without your very own body!"

Doable and makes sense, plus would be very original

[Νιτραμ]

This hack looks good, and the idea is really original. Only thing I must complain about are graphics. Mainly the player's house, as seen in the screenshot.

I didn't play the beta yet, so I don't know if there's something more looking that way. You need to improve the palette of the house to more vivid colours, and, if possible, to more colours.

Plus, the legendaries, you should make their battle sprites better. Pillow shading is a bit weird in a Pokémon game which has different spriting style unless you redo all Pokémon and trainer sprites. Did you plan to leave them without eyes, or are these sprites only conceptual and subject to change?

Anyway, I am glad that there is another hack with original idea and unique implementation, so I hope you keep it up. And about complicated things, when you make them, it will be perfect, if no, you might try to delete those features from game though it might be a disadvantage.

Cheers!

It's a very nice idea, so thanks so much! :)

thanks, well, I'm not good at editing graphics though. :D

~~~edit~~~
A little update.
I am done mapping the floors of Krystal Mountain.
Now I'm about to proceed with scripting, but first, I think I need to take a little nap. :P

Anyways, here's a screeny that will show you of what will be the replacement of the POKéBALL found on the floor. x3
Thanks to Nicolas for the 'gift' overworld and Benevolent Wings for editing it.
Hope you'll like it. ;)

[Lockmaster24]

I like the porygon thing that means i would be able to get the pidgey!!!

[Cid]

I was wondering, will you include HM Fly into this game too? (unless the world map won't be edited)

[destinedjagold]

Nope. ^^
Fly won't be in the hack, for I'll replace it for a Shadow move, hee hee hee! >:]

[Lockmaster24]

cool a shadow move i dont like cut being in there because i hate teaching a starter a HM

[Cid]

Cool, I wonder what Shadow move that'll be? =shows a sly smile=

Yes, a much better and advanced idea of mine.
@IceCharizard: Really? You just said Porygon lets you touch the computer.

[H2O Turquoise]

will there be more mystery boxes

[destinedjagold]

of course! :P
I'm also planning to add those disk in the real mystery dungeon game for TMs. :)

[H2O Turquoise]

what will be in the mystery boxes? Key items OR Items OR Berries OR Support Items (like Leftovers)????

[destinedjagold]

I don't know...
Anything that will be useful for your missions, like berries or other stuff, but items like Ancient Coin or Left Overs will be the task of your 'Treasure Hunter' in PKMN Square.

It's still in the plot, for it's a minor script. Hee hee. :P

[Lockmaster24]

Yo, DJG you seem like a really good hacker I can tell by your hacks love this game so much i have said it like three times anyway what are your friends going to be? Eevee and... (Can someone be a totodile)

[destinedjagold]

Hm...
I guess I should spoil in some parts of the story...
PLAYER --> Pikachu
ROSE --> Eevee
STEVE --> Dratini
MARK --> Taillow
JAGOLD --> Sandslash

That's all.
There will now be other PKMN who'll join your team, thanks to Teh Baro's Porygon-explained idea. :)
However, I still haven't made a plot, and it's not yet my concern.
The top list is first rescue the PLAYER's friends. :P

[H2O Turquoise]

So you will have more than 6 pkmns. Are Steve, Mark and Jagold going to evolve?

[destinedjagold]

yes they will, and Rose as well, but JAGOLD?
He's a Sandslash. xD

[thechampl]

i like pokemon mystery dungeon so of course i like this hack i cant wait till the next release...good luck...

[ksunwoo6]

wow! I always loved your hack... this one's cool too

[destinedjagold]

Thanks for all the comments, pipz! x3
Anyways, here's an update, want to see some screenies?
Nah~ Why sreenies if I can show you a little sneak peek video?

Yup! See the first post or click the link on my siggy. =3
Thanks pipz!

I'm still scripting the events in Krystal Mountain! xD

[Naoi]

Ya, I saw the vid B4 u posted.
It's too cool!
I can't wait to play B2.
GL!!

[Cid]

I can't wait for the next Beta release!!! I hope it will be released soon! :)

[SW47]

THe battles are better than the ones in the origional Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!

[Mitchman]

SW47 stop posting petty post also called spamming for nothing I am in a good mood and I am going to let someone else report you. It is only fair that I don't rid all the spammers of the site.

[zel 2.0]

Maybe a bit delayed, but here are the awards for getting the HotW, DJ ;)
As always, another great work from Barker :)

Hope you enjoy them!

And of course, keep working on this very unique idea!

[destinedjagold]

Thank you zel, and thank you Barker. :)
Those are really inspiring. :classic:

Anyways, a little update.
I just finished scripting all the events in Krystal Mountain (except for the mystery boxes and the healing stones, which will be done for later after all major scripts are done)...

Now I'm understanding the plot of the 8th mission, and if I'm a bit determined, I'll do the 9th and so on...

That would be all, thanks~

[Cid]

Wow, so the game's progress is 6/10 already? Wow, you're really fast, DJG! Congrats for winning the HOTW#5!!! I hope you'd be able to finish this hack! Can't wait for the nxt Beta!!! BTW, Krystal Mountain looks cool! Good luck!

[~*Pikafan*~]

Hey DJG, I saw your videos on youtube of Rescue Rangers and the beta looks awesome. I can't wait for the next one, it's amazing already. The land of the dead was funny, weird, and confusing. I can't wait for the next beta, and is it ok if I use the idea of having PMD sprites as some overworlds?

[destinedjagold]

Hey there Pikafan!!! =3
It's great to see ya again! Where were you? :\
Oh well... Thanks for playing it, btw. :D
And, er, sure, I guess... :\

[YellowPen]

hey destinejagold i was thinking you should create a move where Pikachu, Chikorita and Torchic all attack at the same time

kinda like beat up i guess

anyway its up to you...

[H2O Turquoise]

would that be possible? To attack with three Pokemon at the same time?????

[destinedjagold]

hey destinejagold i was thinking you should create a move where Pikachu, Chikorita and Torchic all attack at the same time

anyway its up to you...

That's a great idea, though, I guess I need to think about it first. :)

[~*Pikafan*~]

Hey there Pikafan!!! =3

I was away, trying to figure out what to do, and I was having a LOT of trouble in school. But I'm back and glad you're still here. By the way, where did you find the place to get them to move in the overworld?

Oh, by any chance, any way I can help out? Ya know, like help with the storyline for the missions or something like that? I'm still trying to remember how to hack, and so far I'm doing ok. But if you do need any help, don't be afraid to ask.

Oh, and one last thing. WHY DID YOU MAKE AERODACTYL SO HARD?! :P

[H2O Turquoise]

It's not hard, I 1 hit-KOed him.....

[destinedjagold]

Eheheh... Was it that difficult?
I found it easy to win with a combination of Pikachu's Thunder Wave+Thunder Shock. :P

And if I need any help, I'll ask ya, k? x3

It's not hard, I 1 hit-KOed him.....

Wow, I guess you have a higher leveled team, huh? :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~ANNOUNCEMENT~~
The first part of Alpha Testing was complete.
There were bugs in the scripts, and so I fixed them, and then again, a second wave of alpha testing will be done again by me. :P
Please, the scripts contain some misspelled words... So I'm sorry for that, however, I am thrifty in using offsets... Myyyyyyyyyy prrrrrrreeeeeeccciioouuuussssssss! :P

Also, new screenies available in the first post.
That would be all, and thanks pipz!
;)
edit:
a new screeny for updates. ;)

I wonder what's that thing that Pikachu's staring at? Maybe a Manaphy Egg?

[destinedjagold]

erm, no... It's a TM disc... :P

[Ruka Prince]

erm, no... It's a TM disc... :P

What!? But it really looks like a Manaphy egg to me...

[H2O Turquoise]

But if we teach HMs to our Pokemon, we've got to delete them! Is there going to be a move deleter?

BTW, I didn't notice when I got my first badge...

[driger369]

Great Hack. Can't wait for beta 2. Good luck.

Ice Charizard - Why would we need a move deleter? When we learn a new move from leveling up we could just delete it that way.

[H2O Turquoise]

@driger369:...teach HMs to our Pokemon...
You can't delete HMs with levelling up!

@DJG: Will there soon be a release date of BETA 2?

Now:
1. Sinister Woods
2. Fortune Valley
3. Bouquet Field
4. Garden Field
5. Vapid Swamp
6. Green Hills
7. Krystal Mountain
8. ???

Is that right?

EDIT: Could you make a volcano or an icy mission? That would be cool!
^
(_)

[driger369]

Ah, well I missed that.

You can change the hex offset of it to make the game register them as TM's. If he really wants to that's one way around it.

[H2O Turquoise]

:t257:Good idea! Like he did for Max Revive?

[driger369]

Yeah. I haven't played very far into it (I'm only at the beginning of the second mission) but I'm sure that would be the same basic thing. I've done it on one of my old hacks and it worked out quite well, too bad I always give up on them before I get enough to put on here!

[destinedjagold]

Hm... I guess my computer's having problems multi-quoting... Oh well...

@prince112...
Eheheh, I noticed that too. :P

@IceCharizard...
I haven't decided yet if I'll include a move deleter...
And yes, in Beta 2, Mt. Krystal is semi-ice like inside...
And there will also be a volcano event too... But it will be in Chapter 2.
The hack is still in Chapter 1, which the main focus is to rescue all your friends in real life. Chapter 1 will have 20 titled missions, and beta 2 will take up 8 titled mssions so far. :)

@driger369...
I kinda don't have spare time to learn hex...
But I'll try my hands on it, anyways. Thanks~

[driger369]

I'll see if I can find the offsets that I used before so it would be a little easier for you to do that.

If I can find them in this mess I call a computer!

[H2O Turquoise]

You can do that with A-Mart

[destinedjagold]

Hi pipz! Little news, alpha testing by me and Benevolent Wings is done.
I just asked my beta testers to test it once again.

Here's a little spoiler screeny. It will be soon, beta 2 will be available.

Thanks to Nicolas for editing the base and other tiles... =3

[Lockmaster24]

cant wait for next beta it will increase the game by...

four missions to eight missions that is eight take four which equals three that makes the game... five times as long or is it twice as long doesn't matter it is still good five times as long or twice as long still more game yay!!!

[Nayu]

I freaked out when I lost a battle. It warped me to that dead thing. Then "the end".
I said: Huh? What is going on?

[manaphyione]

when will you release the 2nd beta?

[destinedjagold]

erm, what? lol, I guess... :laugh:

I freaked out when I lost a battle. It warped me to that dead thing. Then "the end".
I said: Huh? What is going on?

yup!
if you lose, you get teleported to the 'dead', but after that 'the end' play the continue and you'll be inside your base.

when will you release the 2nd beta?

soon... very very VERY soon.
I'm just waiting to either Xanza or ShineGreymon to give me the go signal, since I have three beta testers, and I need at least 2 to report to me. :classic:

[Cid]

Yay! Beta 2! Beta 2!

Anyway, did all of Pikachu's friends (as a human) turn into Pokemon? Will your friends evolve/join you?

[Nicolas]

[/COLOR]Yay! Beta 2! Beta 2!

Anyway, did all of Pikachu's friends (as a human) turn into Pokemon? Will your friends evolve/join you?


Well, yes they all turned into Pokemon... and, yes they will evolve... but Jagold is a Sandslash... don't expect him to evolve... XD

EDIT:

And yes they will join your team...

[Cid]

[/color]

Well, yes they all turned into Pokemon... and, yes they will evolve... but Jagold is a Sandslash... don't expect him to evolve... XD

Lol, ok... Hey, you're from the Philippines? I'm from the Philippines too! (sorry for being off-topic)

Sandslash? Wow... (yay, I have a type effective against Fire!)
BTW, what other Pokemon do your friends become (including Eevee, Dratini and Sandslash)?

[Nicolas]

Well.... Mark is a Taillow.... ^^ SO you're a filipino too..

Hi pipz! Little news, alpha testing by me and Benevolent Wings is done.
I just asked my beta testers to test it once again.

Here's a little spoiler screeny. It will be soon, beta 2 will be available.

Thanks to Nicolas for editing the base and other tiles... =3

Hey... you forgot to put the new healing plant... It's great that the palettes of my tiles are almost the same when you inserted them...

[H2O Turquoise]

How soon exactly is BETA 2 going to be out?

[destinedjagold]

soon...
I'm just doing some final preparations...
maybe, in south-east asian time, by tomorrow, I can release beta 2.

that would be all though, I'm still waiting for TotoMud's overworlds and both Xanza and ShineGreymon's reports...

oh, and Nicolas, I already inserted the healing plants as well.

Thanks~

[H2O Turquoise]

Yay! Beta 2! Conguralitons (spelling?)! So, there won't be an 8th mission :(

[Uchiha20XX]

its cool that your making another ruby destiny game

[Cid]

Yay!!! Beta 2 is finally here! Woohoo!!! So I guess you're gonna work with ROL now right?

[Naoi]

Yeeeeeeeeeees!
Beta 2!
WOW, this is gonna be cool!
We'll report any bugs we find.

[destinedjagold]

yeah well, thanks.
Take note that you should start a new game in beta 2...

please report any bugs you might find. :)
that would be all.
Thanks~

[Cid]

yeah well, thanks.

Hey, DJG... Is it just me or did you forget to change the encounter rate of the Pokemon? It's because every 3-5 steps I make, a wild Pokemon appears! Maybe you can lessen it a bit in the next beta?

[Ruka Prince]

Hey, DJG... Is it just me or did you forget to change the encounter rate of the Pokemon? It's because every 3-5 steps I make, a wild Pokemon appears! Maybe you can lessen it a bit in the next beta?

Yeah, I agree. Too many wild pokemon made me annoyed. And yeah! The four Guardians finally had heir own cries! Although the Guardians have D/P pokemon cries... But that's still better than having normal 386 pokemon cries! And also, what does that stupid Angeallen saids 'I did use all my power to face these pokemon.'? I think Angeallen is just weak, and she does not admit it. And since you learnt how to put D/P pokemon cries, will you put them in ROL?

[destinedjagold]

adding D/P cries means that I have to sacrifice 2 pkmn for just 1 pkmn... :\

For instance, Angeallen is a Dodrio, and so the pkmns Seel and Dewgong won't be able to be in the game for their cries crashed just for Angeallen... :\

Oh well...

Also, I planned to put Heaven Beam on Angeallen, but when I tested it, it knocked me out EVERY SINGLE TIME I face him! :P

And about the encounter rate, beleive me, they only reached 20-26% aggressiveness...

Erm, 20-26% is a pretty high encounter rate... When I use Advance Map and check some original routes, their encounter rates ranged from 5-20%... :\

[H2O Turquoise]

Heaven Beam is an attack???

[destinedjagold]

erm.., no...
Heaven Beam is a fake attack, which is the signature attack of Angeallen.

Anyways, I'll try to lessen the wild encounter rate in the next beta... If I can remember it, that is. :P

Oh well...
The ending of Chapter 1 is huge, so watch out for it! :P

Also, the next poster will the the first post in page 11. :P

[Mitchman]

OK so I got the first post on page 11. Yay me?! Anyhoo is heaven beam going to be in reign of legends? Not the ruby one but the fire-red one?

[Ruka Prince]

DJG, I found a really cool suggestion! While I was reading my english Manga comics, I saw Yellow's female Pikachu has a bow near its ear. Since you can still choose Boy or Girl Pikachu, I suggest you to put a bow near Female Pikachu's ear. That would make Pikachu more 'girldish'(Is there even a word like that?!:P).

[adamb241]

Great beta! I love how you edited the PKMN's cries! They sound so cool. The encounter rate in some places is still a bit annoying though.
