Highly Recommended [October 2004] // Pokemon Bronze

[Coolboyman]

September 27th, im 100% it will be out by then. Pokemon Rijon Adventures is still in production too, so dont worry. I did a huge ammount of work into it today, and i feel the urge to keep working on it. So mark your calenders --- the beta sequal of Brown will be out on the 27th!

(I will post screenshots later)

This is still a hack of crystal, although the finalv ersion will be a hack of gold, much easier to work with those stupid compressed images!

[Jason]

Bah...cant wait but too bad i will be away on that day.... :/

[Anthony La]

It's long awaited too. Anyone up for comments? C'mon, I'm sure you have a lot to say about a great hacker like Coolboyman! XD

[Coolboyman]

I'll be posting a new screenshot every day until beta is released.
Day 1: The Trainer encounters Rayquaza with no pokeballs or pokemon... what a shame.
(Sprite of rayquaza is still under work)

[EVA-01]

lookin great! but have u stopped Rijon Adv?? i hope not

[Coolboyman]

Im just taking a break with it, like i did with bronze. Ill work on it as ssoon as bronze beta's out

[Spiro]

hacks looking great..ill be waiting for the beta ^-^

[Goatman56]

I played brown and coolboyman is the best i have ever seen the land of rijon is awesome and this game will be even better so i can't wait *runs and marks the calender*.

[Cool Cr@cker]

CBM rocks and so do ur hacks!!!OWOW!!!Hope to see a lotta scripting and new events in Bronze!!*Waits patiently for beta*

[Coolboyman]

There will also be 8 pearls, all 8 of their powers will be needed to open up a secret area, although only 2 of them will be available during beta. 16 Badges are optainable as well. (Only 2 or 3 in beta)

[Spiro]

cool thats a good idea ^-^

[Coolboyman]

The entire game will be an ongoing chase. The war idea is dropped, but you never know when it might turn up in my other hacks or games. Ive done so much progress onto it, Im glad I waited this long to release a beta, because its much better than the beta from 4 months ago.

Screenshot of the day: Knot Island Pokecenter

What is the Rayquaza deal?
Why is the sprite the same sprite from brown?
How can you get to Knot Island from Naljo?
How do you obtain these pearls?
What are the cities names?

Find out all these questions and more in one week, when I shall revolutionize the hacking world, again with Bronze beta! I want to suprise you all, so just for now, screenshots with simple explinations :) Then I'll probably revolutionize it again in a month with Brown Advanced!

Final Versions are expected to be released in April 2005.

[EVA-01]

WOWZA! it looks mad! can u catch rayquaza?? if so how many ru/sa pokemon wil be in bronze? also have u thought of making ur rijon hack named Rock Brown?

[Anthony La]

Nice work so far, and with that beta testing I can confirm to it. ^_^;

Highly Recommended October 2004. Stickied until October 21.

[Coolboyman]

The beta is almost completed, so dont worry about delays, it will be out on time.

[Jason]

it been 21st oct Sato.

and mind if you have it done before I go away on 24th?

[Anthony La]

Jason: No, it's September 21 right now Jason.

[rjrait7]

dude i went to ur ur bronze website, holy crap this game looks good but, how do u have so many areas in ur town map there r like 5 countries howd u do that son

[Jason]

I am talking about australian time, Satoshi.

[Anthony La]

It is unstickied a month after now, but I bumped it to be October 21.

[Jeremy]

w00t! Bronze is coming out. Umm... Satoshi-kun, sweetie, don't ya think we have enough sticky threads? O_O;

[Anthony La]

Meh, if we stress the importance of a thread, the likeliness of ignorance is unlikely. A lot of stickies mean that the threads are important in a way..

[Coolboyman]

I guess people wont know until the actual beta is released, im so freaking close to it finishing!

[Spectrum]

That's good, dude. I'm looking forward to it, then I can look forward to Rijon Adventures. ^_^ *sigh* Happy days... O_o

[Pro_EV]

sounds good.

I have alot of catching up to do here, so bye!

I loved your Brown Version too...

[Han-Wen]

its...coming.......coming...... lol
great so far! Keep up the work Coolboyman!

[Coolboyman]

*yawn* 1 hour till release... almost there guys.. just hang on.

[xantor]

can't wait, brown was awesome so I can't wait to see what this is like. I'm be waiting. Its 11:00 pm where I live I need some sleep before school, darn it. I'll probably have to wait till tomorrow.

[Coolboyman]

http://www.coolbm.com/pokemonbronze/

Download it from that site. Patch it to an english crystal rom.

KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS BETA, THERE WILL BE BUGS AND PEOPLE SAYING INCORRECT STUFF, THSI IS JUST A SAMPLE OF HOW THE GAME WILL BE LIKE IN THE FINAL VERSION! SO SAVE OFTEN!

Ill make a more "fixed" version later, probably tommorow im just so tired, time for bed bye and thanks for playing!

[Anthony La]

Hehehe, I almost fell asleep nitpicking most of them before release. *tired*

[The Vince Knight]

This looks quite interesting. Good work coolboyman

By far one of the best hacks I ever seen.

[Coolboyman]

Thanks!

All comments and suggestions are welcome. And dont bug me about text bugs or anything caues im aware of them. I appreciate all comments.

[Anthony La]

Coolboyman asks me to see if unsticking the thread will help it, so will do.

[goldenslider]

ive been trying the last 2 hours to get onto ur site, but everytime i either get a "could not locate remote server" (opera browser), or "page cannot be displayed" (internet explorer).

[Han-Wen]

That's cos Coolboyman's site is too popular ;). Anyways, I downloaded the patch and I have to say that this is one awsome beta! Good job Coolboyman!
Um...just 2 questions:

1.)Why aren't you allowed to go into any of the houses(except your own) in Seashore City?

2.)After you meet your rival, do you go on or do you go back to the lab?

Oh yea, also, after your 1st encounter with rayquazza, when you go back into the cave, the screen freezes and goes to the screen that shows up when you're trying to play with a GB Emulator(which, of course, i'm not using).

[Cool Cr@cker]

WOW!Beta's out Rushes to patch it!!!!
Han That's probably a bug in the pointers and CBM told not to inform about about bugs!
LOL!

[Anthony La]

Actually I collected a bit liost that I was able to track before release. Guess I wasn't looking too much backwards. I picked up a lot of glitch signs though as there were a few messed pointers.

[Cool Cr@cker]

CBM I'm sorry to say this!But I just found out too many wrong stuff in the!!You've not changed anything except some maps and tilesets!!!You should change more things and be confident for a beta!!
P.S Jake Nice Andy banner

[Anthony La]

Uhhhh... Coolboyman is aware of text. You forgot the trainers, the Rayquaza, some text...

You need to freshen your IPS patcher with a clean ROM methinks.

[Cool Cr@cker]

Sorry buddy!!just tellin something I felt!!I have a good IPS patcher and a even better Crystal ROM!XD!
Anyway I would be nice if we had some good new trainer sprites!!!Cause methink same old Prof.Tim(Oak)is borin
Sorry If i offended you!

[Anthony La]

Nah, it's mah fault for talking to Coolboyman about hacking Crystal. I wasn't aware of the compressed graphics. ^_^;; Since Gold is very flexible, Coolboyman is switching to that. Professor Tim is definitely gonna have all these sprite changes. But remember in Brown how you see a Professor lead you into the lab? And then when you're at the top you... see... a... girl...? It's happening with Tim too, CBM tells me. *gasps*

[Coolboyman]

CBM I'm sorry to say this!But I just found out too many wrong stuff in the!!You've not changed anything except some maps and tilesets!!!You should change more things and be confident for a beta!!
P.S Jake Nice Andy banner
...
just...
...

This is EXACTICALLY how brown was released in beta last year. And ive changed much more than maps and tilesets, oh so much more...

[zak]

hey theres no option or link to download bronze either that or the servers messed up can u pm the rom to me or email it to me thanx

[Cool Cr@cker]

CBM i do understand that!!And when I played Bronze 2nd i understood that perfectly!
Anyway will this game have new trainer sprites!!
Sorry I didnt mean any offence!

[Anthony La]

Hey, at least you can get through 2 gyms in the game instead of one like in Brown, unless my brain is malfunctioning.

Here's a mirror for Bronze Version (IPS): http://www.sonicplanet.org/pmtn/bronze/bronze.html

Some people may have tried using Walk Through Walls to get into that "Gym" in Hayward and ended up with a swearing Daisy in the Beta. This time people who even think about getting into the third gym in Bronze will have more to think about if they cheat, since Coolboyman accidentally rendered the gym useless (which will be fixed as he continues).

[Spectrum]

Very nice. But Rijon Adventures looks better. (Is a sucker for cool effects and stuff, like in RuSa.) :P

[Tom_GameMaster]

:nervous: Uuhm, and what if u downloaded it?
I opened my VBA but I can't open it :(
There's an error that says:
No image found on ZIP file.

Help please

[goldenslider]

unzip the file and patch it to a pokemon crystal rom using an ips patching tool (google it if you ain't got one). play the game. enjoy it.

[Sarck45]

[Tom_GameMaster]

Sorry for the trouble, I didn't read everything... :dead:

[elite13kid]

i dont get this, u can wat?

[dylamatt]

:disappoin

it doesn't work

[Cool Cr@cker]

Sorry for Reviving old Threads but is this Hack Gone~~~No sign of CBM!

[Jason]

Bronze Still Going. Cbm Having A Break

[Anthony La]

Errr... are you sure you're poisting in the right thread? I can point you for SPAMming.

[Jason]

I think he is referring to IPS patches.

[EVA-01]

i was talking to CBM and hes taking a break from romhacking

[Anthony La]

We all know that (but I knew for a while now). He's working on his cartoon. Even said so officially in his Rijon Adventures thread.

[squirtleman21]

just finished the beta. really good! that magikarp tower is hard though. where the heck is HM01 when you need it.

[Anthony La]

The thing is - you don't. Progressing through the game is over once you've gotten past there.

[firemaster]

apparently, its cancelled...

whattchayagonnado....

[jyaltma]

what??? who said that? that's sad... :( i was looking forward to it

[Coolboyman]

Its not cancelled, Pika2 is taking over for me.

Im sure he will do a fantastic job.

[Jeremy]

Thanks man. ^0^ I'll won't let ya down!

[Jeremy]

~Ahem~ Sweeties, it's been awhile since Bronze had an update, and since I have the rights to Bronze, I should have been posting updates, but I had Ice, and school. I was working on Bronze for awhile, *Just minor changes here and there.* I'm working on it as much as I can. Let me just post a taste of somethings I've been messing with, such as...The new female trainer. ~.^

I've mostly been in it's planning out what to do, since I don't want it to be a dissapointment compared to Brown.

[Dream Illusionist]

Nice! Reminds me of the girl trainer in FR/LG! Good luck, PIKA2!

[* Jade *]

Well, why not give a graphics makeover? Ask MrMM for help.

[AcCiDeNT]

sounds like a good idea i think you should do that but i like it the way it is lol looks great keep up the good work and we all know you'll do a good job on this.

[Chris!?]

sounds good...
really good

[GymLeaderLance99]

I understand you're new, and welcome BTW, but it's against the rules to revive threads that are old, unless that rule about Highly Recommended threads applies here...

[the O rly? owl]

CBM hits the final release for 01/16/07 =p

[Pazuzu]

Reviving threads in the Hacks Showcase which are older than 60 days (2 months) is not allowed.

Seems like this one hasn't been noticed.
If you see a thread/post which is breaking the rules (such as thread revival), please report it, so we can take care of it!

Coolboyman, if you want to have this thread reopened for you within a one year period, please PM me or Jeremy.
