Pokémon Crimson
Hack Of:
Anyone who can make a CSS will be credited and be greatly appreciated.
Introduction
Um, hi. You may or may not know me, but my name is Destiny Demon, known as Soul in other forums. I've been hacking for about one whole year now maybe, and well, you might know my hack 'Destiny', which I said I would never give up on. And I'm not, but that saga is going to come later, after this one. Pokemon Crimson is NOT a remake of Johto. It's like the Second Saga of the Johto region.Story
Approximately two years after the saga of a boy named Ethan, a new hero is about to be born in the Johto region. You are the younger sibling of the champion Ethan's best friend, Lyra, who is the current gym leader of New Bark Town. You decide to set off on your own journey, but collecting the badges of Johto isn't your first priority. You find out the legends of the mythical Pokemon of Johto, stop the infamous Team Rocket from their evil plots to take over the Pokemon world, and travel to other regions such as Kanto and Sinnoh to learn about their secret legends. While traveling throughout the region, you meet special people who too are discovering the myths that link the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions to Johto, such as the former champion Cynthia and the current holder of Suicune, Kris.But what is Team Rocket's motive? What are they doing again in the Johto region, after Ethan stopped Giovanni at Tohjo Falls and Silver helped defeat Team Rocket at the Goldenrod Radio Tower (due to Celebi's time travel), and Archer disbanded the team? The lowly grunt Ethan stopped in Kanto who stole the Machine Part has brewed up a plan to take over the regions of the Pokemon world. But the grunt alone did not revive Team Rocket. You again will meet the executives of this organization, such as Ariana and Proton. And they together have created the ultimate legendary, although artificial, that can destroy the regions. The Scarlet Pokemon, Scarleture. And you, but not just you alone, will help prevent the continuing madness that Team Rocket has brought to not just your home region, but the regions around it.
Features
- Play as either Marvel (hero) or Cecelia (heroine).- Meet old favorite characters (such as Steven and Will) and new ones (like Rokya and Cryce).
- Experience the Day & Night system introduced in Gen. II.
- Notice the changes that has occurred in the Johto region (see list below).
- Catch Sinnoh and Unova Pokemon!

- Travel to other regions for certain reasons (Kanto, Sinnoh, etc.).
As said above, there are changes here in the Johto region just like Kanto had in Gen. II/IV:
- Some gym leaders have been replaced or moved.
- Blackthorn City was blown up and is now Blackthorn Valley, due to Scarlecture's signature move Atomic Light.
- Union Cave has collapsed due to an unknown reason (play to find out why).
- There are new Frontier Brains in the new Battle Frontiers (will implement later on).
- The Burned Tower has now been burned to crisp due to Team Rocket's manipulation upon Ho-Oh, which revives Lugia from Whirl Island without the use of the Tidal Bell/Silver Wing.
- The fountain at National Park is destroyed because of Team Rocket's motives underground.
Characters
Main Characters
Sprites Needed.Marvel and Cecelia
You play as either Marvel or Cecelia, Lyra's younger sibling. You long to become a Pokemon Gym Leader like your sister, but start to get second thoughts when meeting strong trainers like Kris and Steven who aren't associated with the Pokemon League in any way (or anymore). Instead you decide that your first priority is to learn and understand the legends of Johto while fighting Team Rocket, instead of collecting gym badges.
Cynthia
The former Champion of the Sinnoh region, Cynthia is a Pokemon trainer who is interested in legends and myths of Pokemon. Whether it be in the Sinnoh region or Hoenn region, she will be there to learn their ancient secrets. About two years after she witnessed the reborn egg from one of the legendaries of the Creation trio that Arceus created for Ethan, she decides to return to the Johto region to explore more of the Ruins of Alph and how it is connected to the Sinjoh Ruins and Arceus.
Steven Stone
The Champion of Hoenn. About five years ago he resigned his position to Wallace so that he can explore different regions and learn about their Pokemon and the myths that the regions hold. He also resigned to follow the Eon duo, Latias and Latios, for a certain unknown reason. The duo eventually led him to Kanto two years ago, where he met Ethan who held the Enigma Stone which was extracted to the Soul Dew, whereas he caught one of the Eon Pokemon, but later set it free to be with its other. Steven now travels to the Johto region in search of three Hoenn legendaries that are resting beneath the region - the Weather Trio, hoping it connects to the Embedded Tower.
Sprite Needed
Kris
A former resident of New Bark Town, Kris has collected all of the Johto and Kanto badges like Ethan. But she doesn't wish to be Champion, as she feels strong enough since she captured Suicune at the Bell Tower two years ago. After hearing the return of Team Rocket, she comes back ready to fight them with her new legendary partner.
Karen
The former Elite Four member of the Indigo Plateau, Karen was one of the children along with Will kidnapped by Team Rocket long ago, when their plans were just starting. She and Will were accepted as members of the Elite Four, before Team Rocket's second revival. Once that happened, they couldn't drop out of the Elite Four to stop Team Rocket's plans. But now that they are revived a third time, Karen and Will dropped out to stop them, not taking the chances of them being defeated like they were before.
Will
The former Elite Four member of the Indigo Plateau, Will was one of the children along with Karen kidnapped by Team Rocket long ago, when their plans were just starting. He and Karen were accepted as Elite Four members once they both escaped from Team Rocket's evil clutches when Red disbanded the team. They truly despised the evil organization, willing to drop out of the Elite Four after hearing of Team Rocket's third revival, since they weren't able to when their second revival took place.
Gym Leaders
Sprite NeededCryce
Holder of the Glacier Badge
Specializing in Dark types, Cryce was once a resident of Cherrygrove City, his longing dream of becoming a Gym Leader becoming true after his great-grandfather Pryce died and he inherited his position as Mahogany Town's Gym Leader. Because he is still young and is learning the ways of becoming a strong gym leader, his Pokemon aren't as ready as the majority of leaders. His signature Pokemon is Glalie.
Bugsy
Holder of the Hive Badge
A Bug type Gym Leader who knows lots of experience, strategies, and knowledge. Because most of his Pokemon on his primary team were stolen by Team Rocket, the player is able to defeat Bugsy who has had years of experience. After they defeat Team Rocket at Slowpoke Well the player can re-battle Bugsy for an official rematch. His signature Pokemon is Scizor.
Falkner
Holder of the Zephyr Badge
The Gym Leader who specializes in Flying-type Bird Pokemon. About three years ago when his dad passed his position to him, he wasn't as strong. But after a couple years of practice and training, he has became very strong. Someone who has just became a trainer and challenges is most likely to lose. His signature Pokemon is Pidgeot.
Lyra
Holder of the Rising Badge
The older sister of the player. She doesn't specialize in a certain type, so her team is varied. One must be prepared to beat her, who has had lots of years of training. She was offered the position of Gym Leader by her best friend Ethan, so she was allowed to transfer the Blackthorn Gym to her hometown of New Bark Town. Her signature Pokemon is Azumarill.
