View Full Version : Pokemon Emerald : Road to a Star
Shen

Introduction
Hello, my name is Shen, and this is the birth of a new Star! Me and my friend Aztekia decided to make a hack of a Pokemon game, as we are both big fans. Neither of us have ever done anything of the like (so we would appreciate any help people are willing to give us and join our budding company, but I believe that's for a different board?).
This is Pokemon Emerald : Road to a Star, a Pokemon hack with Wally as the main character. Theoretically, it is the first of three in a series, each with a different feel, story and main character (with Brendan/Yuki May/Haruka being the other two). In this hack, we find out what happened to Wally on his journey with Ralts.
In this story, Wally joins the Pokemon Academy (placed on the Battle Frontier Island) in his pursuit of his own strength. The finer points of the storyline still need to be fine-tuned, but expect a completely different take on the story, new characters, changes with gym leaders, a new Elite Four and anything else we can work out how to program! (Not that we know how to program half the stuff I just said... yet.)

Development
In this section we'll just talk about what we've done so far and the like (so it obviously won't be very big at the moment).
So far we've set Wally as the main character, with a battle backsprite and overworld sprite. We've relocated the start of the game to Petalburg, and the start takes place after Haruka has helped Wally gain his Ralts and before he is supposed to move (although we couldn't get rid of the truck opening so we've explained that as best we can). We've changed a large amount of the text in Petalburg to suit Wally, and have made it so Wally can recieve his Ralts starter (we also taught it Confusion so the character can actually attack and we have removed Poochyena from the starter routes). Also, after leaving Petalburg, it will be impossible to re-enter until later in the game.
We are currently working on the Leaving scene, and playing with the route to Rustboro, and we still need to change the Trainer Card.
Also, for the sharp ones, yes we are aware that Wally leaves on his journey in Verdanturf and not Petalburg. Told you the story would be different.

We may need some help making this mod, since only the two of us will ensure this mod makes slow progress, especially since we don't have much experience in this kind of thing. So if anyone wants to help, get in touch and we may allow you to help us with this mod in scripting, spriting etc.

September 2nd, 2008, 07:55 PM
From what I can see, most of this is a text edit, without editing any existing scripts or making them up...maps are the same too...not much more to say besides I would seriously consider learning some more.

Read development people <_< Ralts already knows Confusion (in a fun case one almost killed the real Wally's Zigzagoon because I forgot to get rid of that particular script) AND we removed Poochyena from the starting routes.
The real point of this Hack is to get to grips with the finer points of hacking, and by making a worthwhile story at the same time (some of the stuff you see on youtube...dear god why?). I am myself starting to doubt whether it should be included in the Hack Showcase though. But it apparently qualifies.
It takes place in the same world, so most maps WILL be the same (<_<). Some parts will be remade though, mostly the bits I found boring.

Not only does Ralts usually have bad moves for a while, it is very weak until it is fully evolved. A Bulbasaur's total stat sum is higher than a Kirlia.
Shadows
September 2nd, 2008, 10:29 PM
I like the look of it,
Even though there is criticism above me, the hack looks like it needs more time to progress, so give it that time.
I'm pretty sure they'll make ralts good enough to be a starter.
Also, I'm curious... Will may change?
and who Replaced Wally?
and do you start in Petalburg?

Wally as your Main?
and Ralts?
Nice but ralts has growl on lvl5....You should change the attack of ralts...

Ahhh. Now this is something I haven't seen before. It's a very cool idea and it looks like you're doing it justice. By the way, I'd be very possible to recreate the whole "capture ralts" event through scripting. Do you know how to script? I think I could help you figure that one out. Anyway, the screenshots look good. I don't see any tile errors. Now, about the moving truck...I'm not sure how you have that worked into the story, but it'd be very easy to work it in, instead of just being that you pop out of the truck. I mean after all, he is moving away right AFTER he captures ralts (I know you said you were changing the journey but...).

September 3rd, 2008, 01:31 AM
this actually looks pretty good!
i just reccomend inserting gallade

OK, one thing, who will be the heroine?
Other than that, keep on going on this hack.
DiggorysGremlin
September 3rd, 2008, 07:10 AM
Okay, question time.
1. Are you including Team Magma/Aqua and having Wally defeat them? Please, just don't.
2. How are you preventing Wally from going back to petalburg after?
And a suggestion. How about you make it that you take the truck to Verdanturf, and start there? Makes more sense. It could be something like you're in the truck and the it starts to move, then you realise your craving for a pokemon, you hop out of the truck, have the Ralts catching script, and then go back in the truck and appear in Verdanturf.
I like the idea of this hack. Never something like it before besides the whole "Gary's Journey" thing.
Aztekia
September 3rd, 2008, 08:47 AM
We might decide to add Gallade when the time comes, if we really think it is that important.
@Kawaii: If we decide to change it so we catch Ralts in the wild through a scripted battle, we will PM you, since we aren't THAT great at scripting.
Shen
September 3rd, 2008, 09:18 AM
G.K.S : Yeah, we have increased Ralts's base stats to those similar to Torchic's, and we are going to do that for his evo's as well.
T : First off, thanks. May changes a lot (first off, I'm calling her Haruka cos I dislike the name May), and she's the pseudo-rival with a quiet nature contrary to her love of battle and powerful Pokemon. And yes, you do start in Petalburg.
Demikid : Yes we are changing his moveset!
Kawaii : I think I know how to get the Wally captures Ralts scene... I was wondering, if we could use that scene to replace the flygon intro - reckon it is possible?
~element : Yeah, I was planning to do that. Should I replace Gardevoir? The whole, gender only stone thing is a LITTLE outside our skills.
prince : Currently researching into getting rid of the gender pick thing. At the moment, it doesn't matter who you choose, you still play as Wally. He's girly enough <_<
Diggorys : Heavens no. Haruka and Yuki take out Magma/Aqua. Wally must contend with the school bullies. As for Q2, H-He can't turn back now! Basically, he's not allowed in till he has 7 badges. I like your suggestion; the current thing is, he runs from Petalburg before leaving, goes up to Rustboro, applies for the Pokemon Academy, goes ALL the way back down to Mr. Briney's, sails to slateport and takes the ferry to Pokemon Academy. I think yours is helpfully easier.
Oh yeah guys, whenever I click on compile script, the buf rite thing doesn't show up. Any clues? I want to be able to directly do something when Aztek isn't around.

Guys, you can use the special thing that you use to catch Ralts in the game thing. Check the Level script in A-Map. :D
Aztekia
September 3rd, 2008, 09:34 AM
@Dark Lakitu: We tried, but we couldn't find the script! Do you know where to find it?
Sarcastic Prince
September 3rd, 2008, 10:05 AM
@Dark Lakitu: We tried, but we couldn't find the script! Do you know where to find it?
The script is where Norman's kid talk to him in the Petalburg Gym.
You should make Norman's kid talk to Norman and while they are
talking, you (Wally) walked inside the Gym.
After some kind of talk, you take Norman's kid to Route 102.
And then, you (Wally) saw a wild Ralts and you have a Pokeball and
a Zizagoon which Norman borrowed to you (Wally).
Ralts is catch rate is 100%.
So you can't escape from the event.
The script ends right after you leave Petalburg Gym.

I like your idea in the hack! however, I have a few questions to ask and some suggestions:
-Are the maps going to change? cause it will make the game more fun
-Isn't Wally's hair Green? and his overworld sprite is brown haired... you could probably change it
-Change the plot of the story... the whole Pokemon plot is never ever fun...
and.....
-Make some other events happen...
-Is the Hero/Heroine going to appear? I mean... what corresponding character is going to appear when you choose if you are a boy or a girl?

-We will change a few maps, but remember this is shown through the perspective of Wally, so a lot of new maps would be inappropriate because Wally lived in Hoenn.
-We will change it, there was some colour-related problems, but it will be changed, rest assured.
-Since Wally is the main character, there is going to be plot changes.
-What do you mean by 'other events'? New events? There will be new events in the game.
-The Hero/Heroine are going to appear, and we are attempting to remove the choose gender, so you can only play as Wally. Wouldn't make sense choosing to play as a girl and ending up as wally!

That made me thought of an idea.
You have a Wally who is green haired and brown haired, right?
In the Introduction, make the Prof. say:
Do you like being brown haired or Green Haired?
Then, your seclections should be:
Green Haired or Brown Haired. Then, you select your name.
And then, the Prof. saids: OK, let me use the "Hair Color Changer"
to change your hair color! By the way, the "Hair Color Changer" is my new
invention apart from Pokemon Reserching!!
I think you can handle the remaining parts in the introduction.

We'll see if we can do that XD On another note, is anyone willing to make full body Wally sprites for the intro? And if so, anyone ELSE willing to tell us how to put it in. The intro is still alien to me.

September 3rd, 2008, 11:13 AM
There IS a tutorial, it's just not for Emerald, not quite sure which version. We might be able to use it for Emerald.

Some new old screens to make sure people stop asking about Ralts being a starter.

Do you reckon those base stats look right for a starter?

To tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea. What I do know is you could make a script that includes the Wally and Ralts scene special, with a givepokemon command.
About your PokeScript problem, I suggest abandoning it...Haha. XSE is much more reliable, and it'll only take you about 10 min. to figure out the differences.

Hmm, there are not much scripts.
You have to do lots and lots of scripts so that when people are
playing the hack they won't have a Emerald Feel.

Yeah, Pokescript is rubbish.
XSE is also handy on making earthquake scripts as well!

The plot does sound a little interesting. But you're going to have the same old boring maps.
But I hope there will be some more interesting events. Change the tree because the original tree looks horrible.

So many people seem to have issues with the Emerald tiles...Well then, anyone willing to help us with that? As, to be honest, neither of us are good at spriting.
Also, school has started again for us, so our responses will be slower.
Thanks for the tip on XSE, we're now using that and while the compiler does work, there's a few...issues.

What kind of trees do what to use? Don't say you want D/P tiles because
it's overused.
Maybe Kyledove's tiles?
Ninja Caterpie
September 6th, 2008, 01:11 AM
No. Maybe FR tiles? O.o?
Anyway, can't you make a script like the one with you helping Wally except May/Brendan helps you? You use the same special and have a givepokemon somewhere.
EDIT:
Guys, I got it.
The special to make the battle with Wally and the Ralts is special 0xA0

Err, if you like.
Maybe we should make the Ralts Wally gets a new pokemon, so I can give it superior stats and movesets, as well as Gallade evo, without changing all the existing Ralts/Gardevoirs?

Because that would be moving to much from the storyline. This is supposed to be the other side of the story, not a new generation. So **** you and your stereotypes. I'm guessing Ralts was picked in the games due to Wally being Timid.
EDIT: God damn filters. **** you too!
Friendly request to please not swear, or do something swear-like. You are right though. Besides, if you think Ralts's girly, look at Wally <_< He's only about five minutes from it.
Yo guys, do you reckon I should give Wally a Treeko from Prof. Birch at the start of the game. Because storyline-wise, Brendan/Yuki has Torchic (because I have a concept in my head of Yuki and Blaziken doing a Rock Lee/Might Gai style pose) and May/Haruka has Mudkip.

Hey, that sounds pretty good, but you'd have to come up with innovative ways to make him go there and nowhere else first. I mean, the whole "I don't think i should go there just yet" idea can wear pretty thin really fast.

I must also apoligise for my lack of activity in this thread. Although it is a lame excuse, our last year in school is physically and mentally draining. I'm still playing around trying to get some scripts to work though.
Also, I'm having trouble with a lengthy dialogue script. Basically, it starts off fine, but when Wally starts to talk, it cuts him off and goes to message 2. It is kinda odd. Do I have to make multiple message scripts rather than loads of new boxes in one message script?
So...do I put that HotW award in the first post? Do I put it in the title? This is our first award, wanna get it right...

I think this hack would benefit from some new Graphics such as Diamond and Pearl tiles, just to make it seem more modern. The storyline is great though because I always wanted to know what happened to wally on his journey.
Good work and Kudos to you.

Hey there Shen and Aztekia!
Glad to see this is being worked on. I'd so love to play this wally version.
However, is it possible if you guys can at least update ur first post so that we actually have an idea of what's happening now and the progress of the hack? Cuz im mightily curious about what are yall doing now.

Sorry, my watch stopped.
Apologies for not replying in, well, over 2 months. As I said, my watch stopped. Also, with GCSE's (Physics tomorrow, Maths Tuesday) and revision, coursework plus the fact I have just got Xbox Live means I haven't been able to visit this thread and continue our modding. However, from today, I have a new spirit and watch, so Shen and I will be back on track.
Thanks for your patience.

This is so cool! Wally is one of my favorite characters in R/S/E, and I love Ralts!
You may want to edit the tiles, so it will look a lot cooler!

We're baaaaack!
Apologies for the HUGE delay, but work is going to resume and there's a few changes we want to implement.
First off, we are switching the starting location to Verdanturf (as many of you wanted). The truck is going away. Forever. Cos we hate it.
Second, we are creating an all-male branch of Ralts (as a seperate Pokemon) that evolves into Gallade at level 30. It will be accompanied by the regular Ralts into Gardevoir (obviously, with buffed stats and moveset) which will be made all-female. You will be giving a choice of "remembering" if your Ralts was male or female. We're thinking of using the special command for the Wally fight as a memory scene, but then obviously the Ralts in that would be female. So yeah...
That's the first changes we intend to make which would obviously change how the story begins. But that could work in our favour.
We're also going to attempt to put different music in the game (such as Wilderness of Sadness which I <3), so any suggestions? Instrumental only please.

Great idea- i was actually working on something like this, but i really like your idea, so i'm stepping down. Not that i would have posed a threat, or anything... But, do you need any help? I'm a fairly good spriter, i could re-do his Trainer sprite for you, his backsprite, etc. Well, i can edit his Backsprite in Ruby, thanks to unLZ GBA, although i believe it's a different case for Emerald- i know that you could edit Wally's backsprite in TLP. Anyways, if you'd like me to revamp his appearance (and other trainers, etc) just let me know, i'm happy to help, especially with such a great looking hack.
