Chaos Black (1337 march '05)

[alexcaughman]

Dude, when my friend went to China, he brought back a copy of your hack on a gba cart. It had a photoshopped label. lol

[I can haz haxburgrz?]

hey i played this! it was pretty damn awesome except for everything lol well the poke's were awesome but meh.. i thought some crazy japanese guy had made it cuz the names were weird... well anyway at least i didnt buy it from a pirate.. bol

[Enix-Zae]

dang this game's gonna be good once finished

You make it sound like it WILL be finished XD

but thanks for the within one month revival. Thats something i rarely see about cb.

lots of people did that. It makes me sad.

all the things you didnt like are improved. as are the normal things

also, im thinking of changing the hack name, get away froms its bad press. Suggestions?

[~Fire]

Maybe just pokemon chaos or pokemon darkness perhaps?
the only thing i don't know is why they chose chaos black as the pirated game instead of other games.

[megiddo]

How bout pokemon dark onyx?

[Enix-Zae]

i want to change to a name thats origanal. Probably something time based.

Also, the new name wont take occurance until the release AFTER the upcoming beta, but a new name would be great to know beforehand so i can leave hints and such to the title change ingame.

[wildarms001]

any fresh updates for us? :D

Um, you have to try hard for it to not sound like another corny hack sitting in the depths of the Hacks Showcase. Um, for time, you could throw in Chrono somewhere.

[theEND]

Very nice. I love the Idea of doing Chaos and Justice

[~Fire]

Hmmm, maybe pokemon pendulum?
and please, can i fiddle with some of your maps?
I looked through them in A-map, and they looked horrid to me.
but yeah, i agree with archer.
chrono sounds really catchy for a name that needs time.

I redid all the maps. I have mentioned it numerous times.

Also, dont want to use chrono, because it just reminds me of chrono trigger too much. And chaos black somehow became attributed as a sonic themed hack, so i want to stick as far away from things like that.

edit> some name thaughts, Echoes of the Temporal or Passage of Echoes or "the hack formally known as Chaos Black",

not sure if it should be Pokemon: title or Chaos Black: title anymore. Im like the sound of Echoes of the Temporal, so it would either be Pokemon: Echoes of the Temporal or Chaos Black: Echoes of the Temporal.

[Platinum Lucario]

I can't wait to see the new Chaos Black to be released, I like the tiles with this hack, and good luck. ;)

[Sk8er Prince]

I love the tiles too and sprites, but you seem inactive, Enix.

[Enix-Zae]

i only seem inactive because no one posts in this thread, therefore i dont, because them almost all the posts in this thread would be from me and it would be as if i were talking to myself.

[Ashman66]

i hope this will be better then the first one i played because that one needed work.

[wildarms001]

i guessd the hack lack of updates thats why no 1 post there comments etc.. well GL to ur :D

[Busted 101]

A good different name for the hack could be Pokemon Amok Black Version or Pokemon Discourt Black Version.

[idrum4all2see]

I Like the name Pokemon Chaos Black: Echoes of the Temporal

It lets people that its still Chaos Black, but with alot of work to it, and that its going to be continued.

Like what they did with Red and Blue to Fire red and Leaf Green.

[zel]

I guess I got used to the "Chaos Black", so I really wont understand the change, but if you think it's better having a name change, go ahead.

Anyway, since talking about name changes is a bit boring, is there anything more exciting that you guys could tell us about the game (or its changes, other than the name), Enix or mewthree?

[quickgiant]

echoes of the temporal sounds awesome. i cant wait to see what youve done.

Yeah, thats what i was hoping. Because you saw through it i am pleased, and the full hack name will probably be Pokemon Chaos Black: Echoes of the Temporal

I really dont know what people want to hear about, but im always free to be asked any questions you may ask.

I will tell you what will be planned to happen, may not sound all that exciting, but there will be many trainers who start their journey at the same time as you (like 5 rivals or such)

Two will take the two pokemon that you dont pick, and one (your true rival) will get a pokemon from someone else (the one that beats yours of course) and then you can pick from the remaining two starters there.

So you get to pick a starter pokemon from two different sets of pokemon.

Also, tehre will be lots of overworld event pokemon.

all this SHOULD be done by the beta, but i havent had time to do anything on it lately, and havent been able to get much contact in with mewthree.





Also, about the name change? Not sure if i said it earlier, but while people here know that what i release will be a later version, because my proof of concept version was so widely distributed, if i didn't change its name it would have been overlooked. Or because it WAS such an early version, people would think the newer version would be as equally horrible.

[bobby681]

I've followed this since I first got interested in ROM hacks last year, this was the first one I played. I can't wait for it to be finished (hopefully it will be).

Good luck :)

[dinosaur77777hacks]

ive played the original and i fought it was great.

(i got a little pissed when i got stuck in mount moon....after that i just stoped playing)

but this looks even better

[lairyladv2]

i rember hte first o the pokedex confused me lol

[dinosaur77777hacks]

i rember hte first o the pokedex confused me lol
yeah you've got a point there
coz he forgot to edit the pokedex

[jakerman999]

got some name ideas.

pokémon chaotic darkness & pokémon blinding justice.

new names, same concept.

[Enix-Zae]

I see, but i am only doing one game now, and its CB: echoes of the temporal. Also, your opposites are less opposite than my almost non opposite game names.

Maybe if you were a couple of months earlier, i may have considered them :P

yeah you've got a point there
coz he forgot to edit the pokedex

forgot to, or hadn't got around to it yet?

[Parksta0]

Any progress reports since Sep 15?
I loved the Alpha (anyone who played that and thought it was ever meant to be called finished is an EE-DEE-IE-OH-TEE) and can't wait for the Beta release!

Yes actually, especially over the last couple of days. I tried playing through the current version, and i could not stand the routes, so i decided to start recreating the routes. No more complex mazes for the first route (but i will have a complex maze at some point in the game).

[Dark_Master]

Looks like a very good hack :D
keep up the good work

Suggestion: if possible, why not make one of the forests include a mazelike section with lots of trainers, berries, and hidden items hidden in it? It would make it so that you could entice them into going in there, without forcing them (as forcing them to do an insanely difficult maze just to get from one town to another would put them off the game) as well as enabling you to put grass all over the place for random battles, while still having spots to rest in that a cave wouldn't offer (since you can get a fight anywhere in there).
It would also allow you to, say, put in hidden areas that only persistent players would find? Say put the entrance to the second forest hidden inside the first forest (to represent going deeper) and then further into the deep, mazelike region, have caves with their own special things? say have several caves and a specific pokémon can only be found in one of them, and only rarely at that...
Oh man... the whiners who weren't smart enough to tell that was an ALPHA would probably never finish the Pokédex, but people who love the game would enjoy the challenge! (Think along the lines of how rewarding it is to finaly catch a Feebas)

those are some nice idea's you got there, some are already implemented, some i will now implement thanks to your suggestions and some i'm going to ignore. What is what? wait and see.

[Parksta0]

Cool, thanks.
If you ever need anyone to do some bug checking, I'm always happy to oblige. I love looking for bugs that can be exploited and errors in games (and everthing else, to). My most recent error check project was the Diablo II Back To Hellfire MOD, and you can see the detail I go into if you look at their frumn (same username there as for here)

That said, just about anyone here would be willing to do bug tests on your game...

EDIT: Apparently Smilies count as URL's... ??

I'll keep you in mind, with a higher chance than normal

[torferno lvl-X]

Sweet Nice Hack. I got the Alpha but it was really weird and one of my pokemon evolved into a butterfree. WTF? Yeah its nice to to see this hack is resurected. :)

P.S. I can use smileys!:P

yeah, all the New Pokemon are inserted now, so theres NO chance of this happening next time

[Parksta0]

Cool! I can't wait to see all the new pokémon. Have you put in pokédex information yet, or is that something for a later release?

[Enix-Zae]

Everything will be cahnged before release, pokedex, size data, footprints, icons, stats etc.

[Parksta0]

Heh, it's a shame that makes the whole process take longer... Can't wait to read all the new information!

[Lord GaGa]

I remember distinctly that the game only went up to the second gym. Water would block the rest of the way.

[torferno lvl-X]

Hey Isn't this more active? You'd think more people would be more interested in Chaos Black? Anyway Good Luck.

[Parksta0]

That was in the Alpha, and we might as well forget we ever saw that from what we're hearing now.

Merry Christmas!

[StheB]

were can i download the latest version

[Ghidoran]

OMG I loved Chaos Black! Got past mt. moon but then it got boring...

Glad you're redoing it! Make sure to change the final evoof the grass starter though....

Also, I liked the old title screen.

[Sk8er Prince]

were can i download the latest version

I recommend you not to download the lastest version of Chaos Black.

Why? Because there's no new scripts at all.

[Visored]

good to see this up and running.
this was one of the first hacks i played.

please show some updates and i really dont have any ideas at the moment, but ill think of some.

good luck. :D

[Sean Visinoni]

few things are realy awesome

How did you get past Mt moon? That was where the Alpha (and hence any changes) finished...

Really shouldn't have to point this out to you guys... Enix has had to say it on almost every page of this thread so far...

[Ninja Caterpie]

Oh, hey, it's CB! I remember that BS, pirated alpha I got before I came to ROM Hacking... >_>

Anyway, to be blunt, the beta maps are bad. >_> The lab looks reeaaally weird. >.<
