[Hack of the Year 2007] Pokémon Prism

[robbingdog]

A question for Coolboyman:

When I was playing the Prism beta, I was fighting Pallet Pink, and I noticed Porygon's type had changed (I'm assuming to Abnormal). Since I'm assuming you probably changed the types of other pokemon as well, is there any kind of list available that shows which types all the pokemon have become? Thanks in advance.

[Goketsu]

hmm I've heard alot of good things about this game I think I'll finally play it =)
Edit: I found a glitch , after you get the first badge and go back and talk to prof ilk in his lab , you seem ask about getting an egg from his assistant in violet city.

On another note this is one of the best games I've ever played . I've been playing it nonstop all day long
also is Laurel city the end of the beta (<_< sorry if that has been asked , I don't see it anywhere)
Edit2: nevermind it is the end of the beta D: now I'm craving for more well I guess I'll start playing brown version while I wait for the next beta since I've heard its epic too

[pokestewart]

good game love the starter!

hahaha I'm gonna play brown version before this so far I think brown version is far better than red version so you should defiantly try it out.

[poddish]

in prism a guy called talking about yanma appearing in route 35, but there is no route 35, I know you probably know about this glitch, but I figured I should post it just in case.

also, the lady that runs the hotel said if I (the player) had any ideas about what should be in the hotel, to tell the producer, so here they are:

1.There could be a guy selling rare items. The thing is, the price he sells them at is either a great deal, or a rip-off, but the player doesn't know until later in the game when he/she finds out somehow.


2.You can buy a almost completely useless item only early in the game, but later in the game it will start a trading quest that ends with an item that is well worth the work (ie: masterball, or a berry that can heal 200 hp, or a special card that allows you to get different pokemon from the game corner, etc...)

[toniblade]

I loved prism much. Prism and Brown is the best hacks I know. I don't like advance generation at all.

[Coolboyman]

It's time to come clean of why this is taking too long. I haven't been too "busy" with real life. It's time to be honest with everyone for once.

Anyway, I got an interesting e-mail a few weeks ago from none other than Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon. He played the original Brown and the current beta of Prism, and he said he loved it. He said he wanted me to come down to Gamefreak Inc. Japan to discuss "Business terms". I was suspicious at first, but I talked to him on the phone, and even with video chat, this was indeed the man. He was nice enough to pay for my airline tickets to Japan.

Inside Gamefreak, he discussed an upcoming project for the Nintendo DS Shop Channel. Basically, Basically, they just finished making a gameboy emulator for the DS, and he was planning to make new Pokemon games similar to the old ones to target adults who were fans of Pokemon when they were kids, similar to the "Pokemon 151" T-Shirts. Thing is, I basically did most of his work for him, so he asked me if I would work on these games with them. Of course, I said yes, and right now, I'm currently working with Gamefreak to remove Pokemon Brown's recycled events and replacing them with original ones, and after that I need to talk with the writers to accurately translate the text into Japanese. When I re do them, they'll be available on the Shop Channel, and we'll finish up Prism. Hopefully I can convince them to get Hakarem and Rijon Adventures on board too to complete the trilogy, as well as MeanMrMustard.

So yeah, I'm currently living in Japan with my elementary knowledge of the Japanese language. Pokemon Brown and Pokemon Prism will no longer be legally available on the web, and will be coming to the Nintendo DS Shop channel this year in Japan at least. It may be a bit longer for the English versions. Sorry for the wait everyone, but it will be worth it in the end!

[Melash]

i just remembered, he has
Asperger syndrome



would he still be able to manage the pokemon franchise?

[DonMoosavi]

If it's a prank, I 100% fell for it....
If not... well...

All I'm saying is that if they were looking for new pokemon games, Brown/Prism would be their best bet, since they are so good.

And who has Asperger's?

[Razor Ramon]

*cheering*

Coolboyman. Go ask nintendo if they need someone. this is amazing. best hack ever. EVER. (even if its GBC ITS THE BEST)

[Da Man]

i just remembered, he has
Asperger syndrome

I just happen to have Asperger syndrome too :\.

Anyway has it been comfirmed what CBM said is a April Fools Day joke?

the creator of pokemon, dammit, i forgot his name, he mentioned him in his post
I just happen to have Asperger syndrome too :\.


i didnt mean it in a rude way lol

i just thought it was one of those things similar to Autism (which my brother has)

[Coolboyman]

Oopsie I got fired and Satoshi canceled that project so they're web-hacks again.

i just remembered, he has
Asperger syndrome



would he still be able to manage the pokemon franchise?

I have that too, and I read about his childhood where he liked to collect bugs, something I did as well.

I guess great minds think alike. MAYBE

[BurstX]

awww im so orry to hear that you got fired coolboyman

is aspergers a common thing?

[Da Man]

is aspergers a common thing?

Atm i'm staying in a student house with 13 students that have AS, so yeah it seems to be pretty common. I would like to meet and make friends with people with AS on the internet.

oh. i seriously didnt think it was that common

[RulerZero]

awsome it's back i so loved it keep up the awsome work

[Flamebaked]

Wow, Prism is a work of art. Love all the additions you're putting in, you're not just making a new pokemon game, you're taking this and making it you're own.

If I remember correctly, you said you have space for two more pokemon right? How about making a sprite of yourself(or whatever), labeling it Coolboyman, and letting us have a showdown with you. You vs. pokemon? You'd have to be uncatchable of course, but sounds like an epic finale to Prism to me. Hack yourself some good stats if you do(or hack yourself to level 110) =D

Sounds like a good idea but why should CBM be a pokemon ?
It would make sense if he was for example a secret trainer with strong pokemon in the end of the extra tunnel.

[Flamebaked]

Sounds like a good idea but why should CBM be a pokemon ?
It would make sense if he was for example a secret trainer with strong pokemon in the end of the extra tunnel.Well he wouldn't really be a pokemon, what I meant is we could fight him as if he was a pokemon. As if he didn't need pokemon to put our teams into humiliation. He'd be the kinda final battle you got from Mt. Silver in G/S, just you'd be fighting his actual self. Either way works, just thought I'd stray from the whole secret trainer thing.

But yeah, I'd love to see CBM make an appearance in the game as some pseudo godlike entity(trainer or otherwise). Perhaps make yourself unbeatable just for laughs?

[robbingdog]

A question for Coolboyman:

When I was playing the Prism beta, I was fighting Pallet Pink, and I noticed Porygon's type had changed (I'm assuming to Abnormal). Since I'm assuming you probably changed the types of other pokemon as well, is there any kind of list available that shows which types all the pokemon have become? Thanks in advance.
ok, so everybody ignored my question.
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE :(

[hi sir tomato my password is syvniti]

I didn't get tricked, Bacause I anyway never believe a single word of what coolboyman says...

[Master Terrador]

This Hack is incredible and was this an april fools, I believe it was so I feel for it , If it wasn't then that must have sucked, anyway this is one of the best hacks i've ever played and wish you the best of luck.:)

[hinsburg]

I'm actually glad it's not going to be on the DS, I can't access the DS store. :D

Anyway, keep up the good work. Brown was great so I expect great things.

[Ozzlander]

your really deserved the hack of the year award great job man keep it uo

[ksunwoo6]

how did you apply a shadow on texts?

[Zowayix]

Question:

Will there be some way to get unlimited Gold Tokens? It doesn't have to be an easy method, it could be like a random tile in a cave each day has a Gold Token hidden or something.
I feel that the idea of not having enough Gold Tokens for everything is a little annoying.

[zlayer200]

is he still working on the new Brown?, we whant updates!
I hope he gets finished ..

[~Undefined~]

is he still working on the new Brown?, we whant updates!
I hope he gets finished ..
Yeah, he's almost finished, it's out on Sunday. (Can't wait!!!)

[~Red]

Tomorrow we get Brown!

I didn't know you had Asperger's. My Mum had me tested for it once and the Doctor said that I had traits of it but I'm not fully diagnosed with it.

[yeshi160]

I love this game. I downloaded it today and I have already beat the beta. Like to the end of Larul city. It rocks keep going!

[DonMoosavi]

Prism has exceeded my expectations, I've always heard a lot of good stuff about it but was hesitant due to the graphics.... I have to say that this game is absolutely amazing. I'm glad i finally gave it a try

[yeshi160]

I totally love Prism and Brown keep it up!!

[manga_meijin2]

Played this one a loooong time ago! Great game :)

[Ku-Ri-Boh!]

I can't wait for the day when the new Brown and Prism are fully completed ^_^

[Envenom]

i love this hack but sadly i think i come to the end of it already. beat the second gym and cant go anyfarther really :D.

very fun to play i hope it gets finished ;)

[Ku-Ri-Boh!]

We need to wait for Brown to be finished. Both will be bombs though. COOL!

[Ku-Ri-Boh!]

Prism has so far the most interesting features among all other hacks, and i can see its storyline to be developing slowly from the beginning. My only complain perhaps is the battle music. I'm not saying that it's bad, it's amazing! Just that Mezasei Pokemon Master doesn't match a battle theme. Maybe change it to something like music of certain places. Can be special places of course...

[øbliteration]

i love the zelda references.

and "hey man, got a light, oh i know, i have a mask so take this cigarette"

[Aliandro Operator]

Coolboyman, this is to you:

Excellent hacks so far. I've played Brown yesterday and finished it. Even though I had some trouble finding the PsiBadge. I never did so I just used an All Badge cheat. The Elite Four was something else. Seriously, kudos. And that Gentleman in the SparkBadge Gym caught me off gaurd with level 66 Raichu! My level 37 Charizard took him down in a few hits. ALL HAIL MY CHARIZARD!! Lololol!

Right now am going through Prism. Wow, just WOW!
So far I have Tyranitar, Typhlosion and Chikorita. Nice going with the Zoo thing! Totally loved it. Thats how I got my Chikorita, folks. I just hated the fact I had to place the Pokemon to donate in slot 6. Had to catch some extra Pokemon just for that.
Right now I have the first badge. And I can't get the second cuz of that hungry guy. I also can't get past the Minning Family village cuz I need Cut. But can't use due to lack of badges. x.x;!!!

Any tips there?

OH! And the Power Rangers.. Err.. Prism Rangers reference was excellent. I know, they are called Pallet Patrollers so thats why I thought they'd kinda refer to Prism Rangers. Nice job with the music. Seriously! Very very good job. Simply loved it.

Btw, are there any walkthroughs for your game? Also, can you tell me if its possible to simply patch the ROM with your new update without losing anything? I think it'd probably be possible via SaveStats and Save Files if I backed them up just in case.
Be waiting for ya reply, brah!

Keep up the good work.

Will play BrownAdvance once am done with Prism!

Edit: DAMN! I feel like an idiot. I forgot there was another path right at the entrance to the village! x.x; Going to explore right now. Will report back!

Edit 2: Update!!!
I think I've reached the final town in this update. The one with the tower blocked by that dude who likes to tie his shoes a lot. xD!
Cant WAIT for your next version. But that won't stop me from explorering around with some codes. <<; Lol.

Btw, your new items... Just wow. SPOILER under this sentence!








The Mining Axe, the Wool, the Cloths, the.. Stick.. <<; What does THAT do?! The Dynamite.. Everything. Oh, yea, and that gold digging thing. Excellent! Keep up the good work!


The Operator.

[Pkmn-Master]

The Mining Axe, the Wool, the Cloths, the.. Stick.. <<; What does THAT do?! The Dynamite.. Everything.

@Aliandro Operator: Most of this information I believe is on the Prism website.

[Ku-Ri-Boh!]

YEs!!! He's going to be back working on Prism soon!

[Stalin Malone]

Excellent! I can't wait until work in prism resumes!

Brown is epic but even just the limited beta we have so far of prism indicates it'll make Brown look like nothing.

[Ku-Ri-Boh!]

Hehe... That's a good show of support, but let's not give too much pressure on KBM.. Especially when a lot of posts stated that "Even Brown is this epic, i wonder how Prism will make it look like nothing" or something similar to that.. Imagine, despite the fact that we're giving high expectations to hackers, if i were KBM, i can be pressured as well. Let's just let everything to be up to what the hackers wanna do. I believe while Prism is going to be better than Brown, Brown can also be better than it in some ways. In addition, i don't think that it's necessary for Prism to be sooooo epic that Brown will look like crap. I'm already fine if Prism were just going to be the way it is, a simple Gold hack with amazing features added. KBM may always improve his hacks as the time goes. Maybe Prism 2.0 when he found something new in the world of hacking

I hope what i said is right... KBM, enjoy hacking, take your time to have a FINE thing and not just FAST thing. We know we're getting the Final Quest and Prism anytime soon, but may not be this year ;)

[Coolboyman]

Just to let you know, I've started working on this again, and it's looking pretty damn good.

I'll also be working on another game this summer, done in Flash actually. It'll be done for Newgrounds "Power of Three" contest, and of course I'll be the programmer. I got a great musician, as well as a very skilled animator on my team. So keep an eye out for that as well.

[BurstX]

so does that mean im back to a hard spriting schedule cause im pumped!!!!!!!!!

[Ku-Ri-Boh!]

Oh cool!!!.... I can't wait for that! KBM you're the greatest! Will that be something related to Rijon or Naljo or even anything? Greatness XD

[Coolboyman]

so does that mean im back to a hard spriting schedule cause im pumped!!!!!!!!!

Sure you are! Just message me whatever you come up with and I'll see if I can get it in. Although I'm not THAT picky about graphics, so don't worry.

Oh cool!!!.... I can't wait for that! KBM you're the greatest! Will that be something related to Rijon or Naljo or even anything? Greatness XD

Nah, it has nothing to do with Pokemon. It has a plot made from scratch staring brand new characters. It's a completely different territory, although I'm pretty sure I got the job when I showed the project leader Pokemon Brown and Prism. Expect to see references to my hacks there. I'm finishing off another Flash game, which is a solo project based on me experimenting with the picky and fragile Actionscript 3(although it isn't as bad as Red's programming structure). And no that game has nothing to do with Pokemon either, but once again, expect a reference. It'll be in the video game factory level.

[Stalin Malone]

Prism is getting new sprites too?

[GalaxyTurbo]

Prism's back in action? Sweet! I know Brown's awesome and all, but Prism's really the place of pure awesomeness features. So I'm excited for this...

And that Flash sounds pretty exciting.

[Stalin Malone]

Also, will Prism have additional radio stations that didn't exist in gold? It'd be kewl if it did.

[Nicholas lee]

In prism can you fhigt bown(the guy in pokemon bown)?

[Silver0ice7]

Nice game I love it, just got to the second gym. I like the platform like rooms.

[U_Flame]

It's been a long time since he released the first beta, and he's STILL working on it? That can only mean one thing, the next beta's going to be AWESOME! And long! And incredible!

[Ganondork]

You got me really looking forward to this, especially after playing brown for the fifth time :P
Anyways, yeah, I honestly have nothing better to say... I love the concepts, and the new things your going to add.
I'm assuming we'll also be able to fight against brown at the end of this to? xD

[mattattack]

hey coolboyman don't take this the wrong way but is prism still be worked on or is it dead because it's a very could hack game!

[NecromancingSaga]

this game is not dead, is only put on hold because CBM has been working in pokemon brown adding the final quest and fixing bugs

PD. I just started over this hack and I got a shiny larvitar, i didnt notice until i fight a wild rattata. :D

[Coolboyman]

Here is a complete update of what I've done so far:

- Pokemon only quest engine is working perfectly. The scripting of the actual quests is about half done.
- Storyline seems to be done (in my head).
- Another quest is halfway done, but the maps are all done for it.
- Two new crafting skills are put in, and the older ones now have a level up system.
- Palletes have been drastically updated. I have updated every pallet in the game, including all the Pokemons with richer palletes. Look at the difference here for example:
Old:
http://i40.tinypic.com/10nc46p.png
New:
http://i39.tinypic.com/osaow0.png
- New items
- Minigames have been put in
- A few super secret stuff that I expect only 1 or 2 people will find without anyone's help.

I'm getting work done on this as I post this, I'm still finishing up Brown's final quest as well, and working on TWO flash games at the moment (one should be done soon.) I'm also working on a website showcasing off all the games I have worked on for the past ten years. I've worked on more non-Pokemon games than you think, and the website also explains what happened to my long lost project Exertion (Which isn't dead BTW, it just isn't a hack anymore). Mean Mr Mustard isn't doing anymore work on this game either, it's a complete solo project once again (with a few help with the graphics). I care too much about this game to let it die, don't worry.

[NecromancingSaga]

thanks CBM for the updates it really makes me happy, good luck

[BurstX]

so what do you need from the "(with a few help with the graphics)." guy cause im all ready to help once my finals are over...which is soon.

[Ash493]

Prism is back! Awesome news CBM :)
Good luck :)

[larkija33]

Prism's coming back? Cool! I love this game!

[Coolboyman]

Here's a video showing you all how well the Pokemon-only engine is working. Have a look.

Looks awesome, and I love the multiple paths the quest can take. If you can keep that up through a bunch of different areas, this will be an incredible game! Just wondering: What was the reward for that (or what kind of thing would the reward be)? Will doing the quest in different ways result in different rewards?

[U_Flame]

SWEET! I can't WAIT for the next beta! I'm looking forward to it!

[øbliteration]

this is perhaps the best pokémon game ever. certainly the most original. it just never stops, all the amazing things in this game.

is the pokemon only quest a sidequest?

[Exon]

This is inspirational. The fact that the entire game was done nearly from scratch will, hopefully, be a wake up call to others. Looks great btw!

[BlackChocobo]

This is going to be so awesome when it's finished.
Prism is one of the best hacks I've seen (and played).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zxnLClKEBMWow, that's quite interesting, Coolboyman! I really like the idea of playing as a Pokémon.

This is a revolutionary hack. Good luck, I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!

wow my sprites are working really wellMhh... The side frames of the Pokémon really looks off.

[Ash493]

Man! This is totally awesome!
This is HUGE piece of scripting work! Truly awesome :)
I can't wait 'till the next beta comes out :)

[Mudkipable]

I think I found another bug: In the clothes shop in Oxalis if you talk to the woman at the right counter from above and choose brown (when they don't have it in stock) the whole room glitches up.

[BurstX]

Mhh... The side frames of the Pokémon really looks off.

well i guess ill have to work on that then

[snap12]

Hey Coolboyman, Prism is obviously an epic game, but the only thing that has been keeping me from playing it is the 5 new types...

I don't want to discredit your creativity because i respect it and I know your an accomplished hacker... But I have to put a suggestion in the suggestion box. Would it be to much work to make a slightly edited beta with the original nintendo types?

Once again, i respect all of your work and loved brown and rijon adventures sooo much. Thanks!

[Skullz]

umm i was just wondering is there a way to fix the start menu? because sometimes when i start the start menu its all glitchy.

you can fix that talk to another person and order another oneit'll be fixed then warp out.

Coolboyman your hack really inspired me to do a GBC gold
hack. It's called pok'emon Steele but it's in pkmnboard and I didn;'t spell it wrong it's steele.
anyways I like your hack

That boy that ties his shoes gets on my nerves. D=< does he have to do that in front of the door?

[The Exorcist]

First metal gen hack that's actually making sense AND is fun! Great work team! Supporting you guys :D

Yay, Larvitar is your starter Pokemon.

[The Pack]

prism looks tight! im glad, congratz hack of the year.

larvitar is a beast starter, i hated waiting to catch it.

[Aaren]

Ooooh, Larvitar I have to play this!

[DonMoosavi]

how far does the Beta go up to? How many gyms/time of gameplay

I'm just saying b/c this hack looks epic but i want to wait until it's got a substantial amount of play time before i give it a whirl

[Zowayix]

The beta goes up to 2 gyms so far.

[lizardman974]

I know this is stupid question, but I still want an answer: If you make your character a girl, will you be allowed in that other door in the clothes shop in Oxalis?

[~Undefined~]

I know this is stupid question, but I still want an answer: If you make your character a girl, will you be allowed in that other door in the clothes shop in Oxalis?
Yeah, the girl goes in the other door.

[etron-sensei]

it is really awesome. Can't immagine the worktime for doing this . Can't wait for a complete release (i know i can wait X) )

[540howdy]

I try to play but i get a white screen i went to the instructions thread and still white screen

how to fix it?

[NecromancingSaga]

I try to play but i get a white screen i went to the instructions thread and still white screen

how to fix it?

maybe your rom is bad, try an other one.

[Ash493]

I try to play but i get a white screen i went to the instructions thread and still white screen

how to fix it?
Which emulator are ya using?
If VBA what I suggest ya to use then set Save Type on 128k

[540howdy]

i am using VBA

maybe it is the rom

the good rom that i used was already used on pokemon shiny gold

or can i use that one again

btw it is set to 128k already

[NecromancingSaga]

shiny gold?

this is a GBC rom hack you must use Pokemon Gold rom

[540howdy]

OH GOD THATS WHY!

GAMEBOY COLOR?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[Melash]

Hmm, I can't wait until another beta is released for this game. I'll especially look forward to all of the new features that will be added in, such as the playing as a Pokemon, apartments, and more features we don't even know about yet!

Anyway, good luck, I hope you keep up the hacking.

[E3DaMeX]

This is yet another boss hack. Kudos to you for making such awesome shiz. ;)

[Zodrow15]

Does any1 know how to get to Ilk?

[GamerXtreme]

Another excellent hack by Coolboyman! Kudos for the awesomeness =D

-GX

[Napalm]

This is the best Color Gen hack I've ever played, thanks so much for creating this hack! Also, I think this is the best hack overall. Purely original ideas.

[dfairbanks06]

can anybody explain to me whether or not you can take a .sav file from an old beta and use it in a new beta of the same? since its the same game just with more added on would it really make a difference? does it depend on what was changed in the new beta? what sorts of complications can it cause?

[Yusshin]

I did everything in the Read-Me File (patched and everything) but I receive a white screen and the Hack won't launch? Any fix for this?

[Coolboyman]

Some good news/bad news.

Due to some very extreme changes I'm making, you will NOT be able to transfer sav files from the previous Prism beta to the new one. You'll understand it when you see them. However, if you play through it again from the start, you'll notice new things even then, so you won't be playing through the same beta all over again. If you want to save the Pokemon that you have, trade them over to Gold or something, you'll be able to trade some back.

Since the battery that supports the clock can only go up to 2MB and I need more than that, I will be disabling the real time clock. But this will also bring some new events that take up large amounts of memory. Basically, if I get rid of the clock, I can double the size of the ROM.

Since Mean Mr Mustard is gone, I have been looking for a new musician. I have one in mind, and he seems INTERESTED, but I'm still waiting for a final ok from him. He's quite popular on youtube for making songs based on the Pokemon games, but for now I won't reveal his name.

[Wings Don't Cry]

Sounds good, I don't really care how long it takes to finish Beta 3 as long it's before March(hopefully) and I didn't really like my BetaII team anyway.

[IIMarckus]

Since the battery that supports the clock can only go up to 2MB and I need more than that, I will be disabling the real time clock. But this will also bring some new events that take up large amounts of memory. Basically, if I get rid of the clock, I can double the size of the ROM.In fact, even quadruple it. The MBC5 supports ROMs up to 8MiB, although it requires 9 bits to select the ROM bank (done by writing 00 or 01 to $3000).

[GalaxyTurbo]

The sav file thing is no problem. My team in Prsim sucks anyway and I do want to see all the new changes.

As for the real time clock, I am disappointed at its removal since the day/night system was one of my favourite bits of GSC. But if it helps make Prism better, I guess I'd be okay with that (not like my opinion matters anyway =) )

Best of luck anyways

[herr_sebbe]

So, without asking when the beta is due, how far have you progressed on it? Since this has been inactive for so long, it'd be nice to get some small status update. :)

[Melash]

...But this will also bring some new events that take up large amounts of memory.
I actually know of a few, and from what I know, it's more than worth it. The real-time clock was a nice addition, but would you rather have that than an extended storyline, completely new events, and other features? ;)

I can't wait until the next beta is released, and I'm also happy you're going through and improving the overall quality of this hack, not that it needed to be improved.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Coolboyman, I have a question. Is the Pokedex order going to change in later Betas?

[Coolboyman]

Coolboyman, I have a question. Is the Pokedex order going to change in later Betas?

More than the order is going to change in the Pokedex.

[etron-sensei]

More than the order is going to change in the Pokedex.


Interesting.... so we can say you add sove new pokes in the new version (logical for brown/prism compatibility)

[Nastara]

I'm really gonna miss the real time clock, so much. Especially since we got Pokemon pinball in night battles.

Aw, well. It's still Prism!

[Clear]

More than the order is going to change in the Pokedex.

I thought this to be impossible for G/S/C, that is if you are adding pokes.
Unless this post really means you're changing the way the pokedex looks.
Urg, you make so much hype and mystery in your posts.

[pizzakoe]

A new Lay-out for the Pokedex would be nice, adding new Pokés will be nice too, I think we just have to wait and see..!

[Coolboyman]

Lets just say, this "change" is the reason why you all have to start over. Do the math.

[etron-sensei]

so, it might be possible i'm right :)

[Bluelatios*]

Probably the Pokemon obtained early in the game might be changed a bit so that's why a new save is required. I don't know but it will be cool. An approximate game completion percentage would be nice too :). (yeah we are all super eager cause this hack rocks :P)

[edes]

They will disable the clock and change the save file type to be able to expand the ROM more, that's why we need to start again...

[Pat Dude]

KoolBoyMan, I was thinking about a way that you could keep the Day/Night system without it being real-time based; Make it so that the total amount of Play Time (The Play Time saved in the "Profile" Menu) determines what in-game time it is.

Example: If the time is 0-4 minutes, it's daytime, if it's 5-7 minutes then it's nighttime, and 8-9 for morning, or somthing like that. So each day is 10 minutes, similar to a Harvest Moon game.

A: I think that Idea really sucks, a day would be too fast n stuff
B: Please let him doing it his own way, I know Coolboyman knows what he's doing.
C: It'd probably also take lot's of memory (I think)

[Pat Dude]

pizzakoe, that 10 minutes was just an example, KoolBoyMan could make a day as long as he would like if he did it like this, and I doubt it would take a lot of memory to do that 'cause he would only have to tell the game to read time from the Play Time variable that's already in the game instead of the battery, so he could still expand the ROM to 4 or 8 MB.

[Coolboyman]

Just to let you know, I will TRY to get a new version out that will contain 4-5 gyms by the end of the year. I have my priorities in order regarding this game now, I'm no longer adding stuff at random, I am getting done what needs to be done, and if I can add more things, I will, but only after the other things are done. I want Prism to actually tell a story, a story quite different from your typical Pokemon stories. Prism WILL be 100% complete in 2010, in which I will retire from ROM hacking. To tell the truth, I truly want to leave ROM hacking and devote my time to original games, but Prism has so much promise that I cannot leave it behind, which is the reason why I'm trying to make it really different from Pokemon Gold. I already know the rest of the story, what Brown's eggs and key will unlock, and the ending, which is delicious irony.

I will also be learning tougher assembly in the fall, so hopefully I'll be able to take over MMM's ASM duties.

[smexyjuliet]

really awesome so far ^^ i couldn't stop playing it!
cant wait for more to come out :D

[Pokepal17]

I see, well I hope your ASM knowledge improves and I cannot wait to play the next version. If this really is your last ROM Hack, I thank you for all the inspiration you've given me and I hope know that this will be the best of your ROM Hacks. Good luck, Coolboyman, you have my full support.

[Stalin Malone]

How many gyms total will Prism have?

It's good to see you didn't give up on this Game(not hack) good luck I know when this is done it will be epic.

[scienceboy]

This actually is a hack. Look at the thread title - "Hack of the year 2007"

[E3DaMeX]

I think he meant that although it's a hack, it feels like a real Nintendo game. That's how I felt about Brown and the portion of Prism that's been released. =P

[trinity_pt]

The games is kinda of cool :D...

[Coolboyman]

I have finally gotten conformation of a musician being on board. You might know him, but now this guy will be doing the new music for Prism:

http://www.youtube.com/user/cat333pokemon

If you haven't heard of him before, listen to his work, it's quite good.

Two words: Great choice.

I've listened to a lot of his work and this announcement just gets me even more excited for Beta 3.

[cat333pokemon]

Hello everyone, I forgot I had an account here! Yes, I am the Cat333Pokémon that Coolboyman is referring to. I whipped up two original Masuda- and Ichinose-inspired compositions to show you.

Both can be found here: http://floatzel.net/pokemon/prism.htm

[BlackRain]

Awsome game and i like the new type's

[MisoCrazyCup]

Hey Koolboyman!! isnt the wild pokemon battle theme at night for prism a remixed version of the first season of pokemon anime openig theme in Japan?

[herr_sebbe]

Hello everyone, I forgot I had an account here! Yes, I am the Cat333Pokémon that Coolboyman is referring to. I whipped up two original Masuda- and Ichinose-inspired compositions to show you.

http://floatzel.net/midi/CAVE1.MID - A simple cave theme
http://floatzel.net/midi/BATTLE1.MID - I could see this going as the rival battle.

Those are good, well-made and everything, but one thing I don't like about them is that they're too happy-go-lucky for their respective themes. The rival batte should be more action-packed, have a feeling of battle to it; and the cave theme should have a more mysterious theme. I like the music, but imo they don't fit for their themes. They're too happy. :\

[zdude0127]

Eh... I'm not a fan of the battle music. It just doesn't feel right for going in as the rival battle music. Maybe it could be music for another type of battle (Pallet Patrol?) I think the original battle music (except the Kanto trainer and wild themes) should be left in (personal taste and the GSC battle tunes are my all time favorites).

[cat333pokemon]

I've revised the battle theme a bit so it is just a hair more lively.

[Coolboyman]

This guy will also be making music.

http://www.youtube.com/user/PokeRemixStudio

Prism has two great musicians now.

[Chaos Dirge]

Got hooked on the third in the series and so I thought I would give this a try. so far it looks promising.

[GunSaberSeraph]

This guy will also be making music.

http://www.youtube.com/user/PokeRemixStudio

Prism has two great musicians now.

You got Pokemon Remix Studio!? That guy is awesome. The music in this hack will be great.

[cat333pokemon]

Coolboyman told me PokeRemixStudio was originally going to be doing the music, but for some reason decided not to. After he saw my video showing the cave theme, he sent me a PM and decided he wanted to work on it too.

[GRonnoc]

If you need more help with creating the music for the game, I'd be more than happy to take up composing duties alongside cat333pokemon. I'm a good friend of his and he referred me here to ask you about joining the team. I have experience in composing music (you can check out some of my work, a lot of which is pokemon related, on my youtube channel GRonnoc) as well.

Is it possible for me to join the team?

[cat333pokemon]

GRonnoc's "Pokémon RS Symphonic Score", more of his work, can be found here: http://floatzel.net/gronnoc

[Nastara]

We got three great musicians on board for this hack now? Sweet.

[GunSaberSeraph]

I wish all the best for this hack. I can't wait for it's release.

[cat333pokemon]

I've created a page that can be used to show off all original MIDIs created for this game: http://floatzel.net/pokemon/prism.htm

[GRonnoc]

Just finished my first song for the game :D

It's another battle song (I think it'd be best as a Gym Leader battle, but that's ultimately up to coolboyman I guess). You can see it on cat333pokemon's link up above!

[cat333pokemon]

Oh, wow! I really like it! That's easily the best work so far.

[NecromancingSaga]

WOW, that tune is awesome!!! it fits to a gym battle

[Bluelatios*]

...Alright yeah the trainer and cave ones need more work I would say herre sebbe is right, they are a bit to happy sort of. The Gym one is excellent though, that's definitely a keeper. You can still tweak it a bit to however you want, but keep the general part of it for sure!

Edit: another thing I have to say about the rival battle one, is that its very similar to the DP rival. That one is a bit more.. I dunno "a fun battle" sort of feel since he is your buddy. I really think you should consult with CBM and discuss the general personality of the rival in Prism and make the music match his character. Just my opinion :)

[herr_sebbe]

Ok, NOW we're talking. That gym leader battle theme is GREAT!!

It fits perfectly into it's theme and it doesn't strive too far from the original Pokemon soundtrack. Now there's a reason not to mute the sound while playing.

[GRonnoc]

Wow, glad you guys all like it!

[miksy91]

Awesome music :)
It really fits into gym battle/lance or something like that

[cat333pokemon]

I've created a new one, but I'd really like feedback on it because some parts sound (a little) off. It's the Surfing theme. Like before, it can be found at http://floatzel.net/pokemon/prism.htm

[killbeast301]

I think you should make it a little more fast paced.

[cat333pokemon]

Alright, I increased the tempo to 160. You're right; it does sound better now.

[Levus]

I hope you don't mind, but can I try write my own song for this hack? If it's any good, you can decide whether or not you want to use it or not once I'm done. I've gotten 7 seconds done so far though.

[Andrew McKenzie]

He's looking for music, in MIDI format, not actual vocal songs.

[Levus]

Well I sent Cat333Pokemon a MIDI that I wrote in a couple of hours over MSN.

I'm going to go ahead and predict what he's going to do with it now - he's going to upload it onto his website.

[cat333pokemon]

Well I sent Cat333Pokemon a MIDI that I wrote in a couple of hours over MSN.

You have predicted correctly. It is now on the page along with the other MIDIs.

[Pat Dude]

Well, I recommend NOT using download sites but instead sites that are devoted to ROMs (E.g. :"Pokémon Gold ROM") if that what you're looking for. Use Google. (Sorry, illegal to tell you where you can get roms).

As for emulators, you can't go wrong with "Visual Boy Advance". If want to trade Pokémon however, "TGB Dual" might suit you. Again, Google.

[Pkmn-Master]

Levus, I'd have to say that the Wild Pokemon theme you did sounds excellent. But to me it sounds more like a Trainer Battle.

[cat333pokemon]

Coolboyman plugged Cave 1 into the game. A WAV recording of it can be found on the same page as before.

[Pkmn-Master]

It sounds really awesome, but like said before, it's a bit too happy. But it's awesome! :D

[Chaos Dirge]

I can't wait for the other features in this game, cool boy really does amazing work... the problem is I'm not to into trying to collect the tickets. Mostly because of all the pokemon encounters. Though I could just turn off encounters until the next beta, I normally don't use cheats but I really can't do anything but collect tickets now and the running from encounter and encounter would just get boring. XD

[hoebeke]

good hack, it deserves that award for sure

[Coolboyman]

Now on Twitter!

https://twitter.com/FlariusGames

It'll have small tidbits of whatever I do for Prism and my other games, that don't warrant their own post here. Just bits and pieces of "I did this" or "I did that" or "I'm doing this".

[GRonnoc]

Yesterday I took my gym leader battle and made an "Orchestral Remix" of it. Check it out on cat333pokemon's music page (link above), it's REALLY AWESOME!!

[Lord Stalin]

Noice. By "real" you mean the rival sounds gangsta right?

[Coolboyman]

Noice. By "real" you mean the rival sounds gangsta right?

Gangstas aren't people with real personalities, they pretend to be something their not. The rival is who he is, and acts like who he is, and isn't even close to "gangsta". A complicated an disturbed childhood is what made him who he is. And the years he spent in juvenile hall helped too.

[Aurajade]

Pokemon Prizm is one of the best hack's I've seen.
And I've seen a Lot!
(Note to self: Don't remeber quartz, that was excellent, But freaky)

[MexicoolBoy]

really a good work :)
this hack it's really professional to be a G/S bases:D

[theking6]

Awesome hackgreat gameplay and......Power Rangers? Kinda creative my friend.

[Masterge77]

LOL Prism Rangers

GO GO PRISM RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to explore all of Naljo, and the next beta

[meganium14]

are their any new betas to it or has it been complete

[Masterge77]

are their any new betas to it or has it been complete

Well, I once thought he cancelled Prism to make Rijon Adventures, and never finish Prism, but about a week or two ago, he released a few videos on Prism on Youtube (I know because I subscribe to his channel), meaning that he has posibly finished Rijon Adventures (in fact, on his blog, he said that he was near finishing Rijon Adventures), and would start hacking Prism again, he said that Rijon Adventures would be finished around the end of 2009, and Prism to be finished in 2010, so we are only a few months away from the next release of Prism and Rijon Adventures

[UrHedsOnFire]

is the red of brown going to be the final quest like in gold, but fashioned like the palette member at the end of brown with all lvl 100s?
Wow, I just thought of a CRAZY IMPOSSIBLE idea that the first hall of fame of Brown could be accessed from Prism and then you would battle that party!
Of course, it would take at least a year and a couple thousand programmers to do something crazy like that, so I don't expect you--or anybody--to do that.

[Esense]

Awesome I'm gonna play this right now!

[mattman324]

He isn't working on Rijonadventures, though. He finished Brown recently, however.

I'd rather see a finished playthrough than see it in bits and pieces until the final release.

[cat333pokemon]

It's also good to wait until it's complete because with many hacks the old save files won't work with the new version and you'll have to start a new game.

[zdude0127]

It's also good to wait until it's complete because with many hacks the old save files won't work with the new version and you'll have to start a new game.

That, and Koolboyman might make changes in later betas for areas that were accessible in earlier betas.

[insectduel]

Coolboyman sent me his latest game recording of the gym leader battle music. It can be found on the same page as before:


How did you convert the Gameboy music to MIDI?

[zdude0127]

If I could so kindly make a request for music, could you add in the custom music found in Brown? I really liked those music pieces, especially the champion battle music. Will there be any music kept in from GSC also?

[Perry_]

Coolboyman isn't developing Rijon Adventures. (http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=3002) Hiroshi Sotomura is developing it under the careful eye of CBM. Also I read somewhere the Prism will be released either before or simutanously to Rijon Adventures.

[Trigger]

Since goldenrod is part of rijon an johto, and rijon is accesible, could koolboyman duplicate the mobile center from the japanese version of crystal? Just asking...

[Coolboyman]

Since goldenrod is part of rijon an johto, and rijon is accesible, could koolboyman duplicate the mobile center from the japanese version of crystal? Just asking...

Goldenrod will be much different from it's Gold/Silver form, due to a natural disaster that took place during Brown.

If I could so kindly make a request for music, could you add in the custom music found in Brown? I really liked those music pieces, especially the champion battle music. Will there be any music kept in from GSC also?

I do plan to have some of Brown's music remixed into GS's format.

How did you convert the Gameboy music to MIDI?

It was done the other way around. I converted the midi into gameboy music byte by byte.

That, and Koolboyman might make changes in later betas for areas that were accessible in earlier betas.

Yes, plus that many of the characters went through huge personality changes since the last beta, and the story is different as well. It's more of an attempt to make a realistic storyline and characters, except with Pokemon. The storytelling is quite different from any Pokemon game, and is very important since you'll be doing more than collecting badges. There is a reason why your "rival" is the way he is, there is a reason behind the Pallet Patrollers, not just "these characters are here and act that way for no reason".

[Trigger]

Thanks for answering my question, and what national disaster? I wouldn't know because i can't play hacks on my computer.

[mattman324]

Well, in Brown, there was an Earthquake limiting you're Johto journies from just south of the Day Care center to Slowpoke well.

[Trigger]

Thanks for answering that :)

[cat333pokemon]

Speaking of Brown Version, I do live streams periodically and play through various games, my latest being SoulSilver. As I regularily get 30-50 viewers simultaneous (several hundred total), do you think I should play Brown version live, as many of the people who comment on those music videos seem to have absolutely no idea what Brown or Prism are?

[BurstX]

now on to other matters, CBM i know you said youd come to me when you needed sprites, buit that was like forever ago. Do you need anything now?

[Taziik]

can I catch there all 251 pokemons?
BTW: Rly nice game :)

If the pokemon list is gonna be redone so Prism has better Brown compatibility, will baby pokemon be added? It would make sense since breeding was introduced in this generation.
I am also going to assume Team Rocket is gonna be in Prism, since the Black Patroller took command of Team Rocket.

I have been playing this hack for quite a while now and I came to one conclusion when I reached the end of the beta: This is one of the best hacks on the entire community! =D>

[BoomChakalaka]

I hope that we can meet the Pallet control guy again in the last release. It would be awesome :)

[cat333pokemon]

CoolBoyMan's got me working on a new song (and making another song into 8-bit), so hopefully I'll be able to release those soon.

[q_byrd03]

This is going to be an awesome hack too Coolboyman. Very creative!! Love the graphics, custom pokemon, features, etc.

[Masterge77]

Since Cat is working on a new song, I'm guessing that the next release is going to be very soon.... cannot wait.....

[cheatfreak23]

I dont know if anyone has asked, but how do you get into the second gym? I thought that I had to buy burgers and fries for the guy blocking the path, but he hasnt moved...

EDIT: Just realized that gym wasnt actually the second. Still wondering how to move him.

You can't move him. He is blocking the gym because it's not available in the current release. Just the fire and grass gyms are available. @Koolboyman: Do you have all the gyms and the Elite Four planned out already? If you don't, would you mind if I chipped in some ideas?

I think he is re-doing all the hack from scratch

[dragonarche]

I have this hack on my phone its fun.

[Coolboyman]

Yes and no. The beginning has a lot of differences, but some are the same. Maps and dialogue have been redone. Josiah and Rinji are still where they should be though.

I'll have a surprise for everyone on Jan 1st 2010. It isn't a new beta, but it'll help people understand the direction that I'm going with in Prism. I know some people will hate what I've done to a part of Prism, but whatever, it's my hack.

[killbeast301]

If it's not the new Beta, I'm guessing a trailer.

It's cool I'm sure it'll be awesome edit since your ideas are always perfect :)

[Mr. Pokemonman]

Big fan CBM i just started playing Brown and have the latest beta for prism, needless to sat it looks amazing keep it up.

BTW just wondered if you ever thought about making a hack to beat the **** out of chaos black? Srsly didn't like that one at all way too glitchy, plus you couldn't get past mt moon with out the "walk through walls" cheat activated.

[cool boy k]

hey wats up koolboyman i like prism beta and i would realy like to finish it but i need beta 3 and how do u play the game with your sav file:D

[The Corrupt Plague]

Did you even read through the whole thread? He is still working on it, just be patient.

Most likely a trailer for the next beta or final version

[Trigger]

Why'd you choose Larvitar as a starter
(not that larvitar is bad or anything, I personally think Tyranitar is EPIC.)

[Melash]

All right, after all it is your hack, and you can do whatever you want with it. I'm with you all the way, despite how drastic it may be. I may have a general of idea of what you're talking about but I can't be sure. Until then!

[Hokorashiimesuinu]

well hi guys, i just wanna say i just completed pokemon brown, yay me!
oh i completed beta 2 of prism, i'm not gonna bother with beta 3 though :(
thats only because im waiting for the full game woop!

[cat333pokemon]

I just talked with CBM a few days ago. He said progress has slowed a little bit, but he's hoping to be able to release the next beta, if not the completed product, soon.

[Masterge77]

SO that menas that the next beta is coming very soon, sweet!

[Coolboyman]

Sorry I think you misunderstood me. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done before the next release, and the final version.

[cat333pokemon]

Sorry I think you misunderstood me. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done before the next release, and the final version.

By "soon", I meant next year. My post didn't exactly come out right; I do know you still have a lot of work to do. Sorry if I confused anybody.

[killbeast301]

So, um, "next year" is very broad.

Can you be a little more specific?

[mattman324]

So, um, "next year" is very broad.

Alright, between January and December of next year.

Sereosly, NEVER ask when the next release will be. You delay it, because CBM has to spend time responding.

[miksy91]

I thought finishing this would take much more than a year or so :O
Looking forward to beta 3 or final release :D

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Beta 3 will be ready when it is, if you annoy CBM he will have it much much later.

Anyways...I like...the...prog..ress....umm? I subscribed to Cat333Pokemon, and PokeRemixStudio by the way. Is Pupitar evloving earlier? Level 55 seems ridiculous and so high. Good Work, and I like Larvitar now because of the game.

[Chaos Dirge]

I would just like to say, although I like the hacks Coolboy makes, these are much better than his first hake which was nothing but a hack with constant sex jokes. XD to think this series started as a sequel to that game.

But besides that, Prism is absolute Genius from what I've played. I really wish that the people that make the actual games would think outside the box like in the games he makes.

It feels like the days when I first picked up a pokemon game when I played Brown and Prism. Not just because Brown was red either, it had alot to do with his designs.

[pizzakoe]

Say, how's the progres going?
the progres of the application that lets prism know of the 7 items of brown I mean.
I'll also send this message to the brown thread, if you don't mind :P

[XmasterchiefX]

Damn this hack looks pretty good like your others, hope you finish it soon!

You Rock CBM!! =P

Wish the best for you.. ehm, and your hacks!

[pizzakoe]

Happy new year Pokémon Prism/Koolboyman!
So.. what is the big new years news you wanted to reveal about Pokémon Prism today?

[Melash]

He's going to reveal something about Prism? I must have missed him mentioning that. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

[pizzakoe]

Yes he told us, at page 59 (That is, if you let the forum show 25 posts a page)

[Melash]

Yes, there it is. I wonder if he's still going to post that information today.

[Jokoman]

Yes, there it is. I wonder if he's still going to post that information today.
He's online now so he probably will.

[GlitchCity]

kudos on a job well done, akk I havent finished it yet. xD

[Coolboyman]

I didn't get done with what I wanted to show today. Wait a few days and I'll be able to show it.

[HaloSonic]

no problem, take your time.

[cat333pokemon]

Cant wait to see it, Coolboyman! Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be awesome.

[bradenm]

wouldnt an evolution after tyranitar or an alternative evolution from pupitar be cool? just a thought :P

[Armykid]

wouldnt an evolution after tyranitar or an alternative evolution from pupitar be cool? just a thought :P

I would really rather like him working on releasing the next beta or showing us some glimpses of it, rather than creating some weird evolution. Sometimes you should just leave pokemon design to the Pro's. Just saying =/

sorry for thinking out loud....

[Masterge77]

Will there be any Hoenn or Sinnoh pokemon (that are not evolutions to Kanto or Johto pokemon) such as Lucario or Buizel

Also, what's the big announcement?

[Coolboyman]

The announcement is mostly about how the overall nature of the game has changed, and I'm attempting to do some storytelling about topics that the official games would never touch. It'll also show off some new stuff as well.
