that doesn't answer my question as you have 2 sets of starter pokemon.

[teejermiester]

The first nine pokemon in the dex. I don't mean to sound like a jerk haha

[Boghy12]

Will it be harder than leaf green/ruby? I'd like a challenge :D

Difficulty will be relatively high, yes. Not Dark Rising hard, but a challenge.

[rpg man]

I was thinking that you should make a Temple for the Birds (Maybe Ho-Oh and Lugia)

[Boghy12]

There are some "bad boys"? Like Team Aqua/Magma/Rocket/Plasma/Galactic?
And which is the "special" legendary pokemon? like in light platinum(Arceus) or Black(Zeckrom)?
And Lugia isn't looking so god with the eyes black like in fire red in this version will they be blue? (Sorry for my bad english:D)

The graphics and most of the mapping looks solid and nice. On the other hand, I can't really judge how great this will be without any script evidence. Once we see some scripts I'll drop right back and give you the full layout of what I think. Keep up the good work though!

I'll figure something out haha. The trio have temples (well, ruins technically)

1. The Lyst is an organization following some unknown leader. They'll be the "bad guys" most of the time.
2. The Legendary Trio of Birds are the main legendaries
3. I think Lugia's eyes are the least of our problems (especially cuz his eyes are blue in the Pokedex and he doesn't show up anywhere else in the thread...)

Thanks, I have a little bit of scripting done. Like I said, I'm very busy. I really should get some screenshots up... I assure you, I'm impeccable with grammar and story-writing.

[Boghy12]

There will be events like fighting red/brendan/silver
I see there are 2 sets of starters , will the player get to chose from both of them?
(sorry for my bad english :D)

I'm super super serial right now, this looks SO much better than some of the hacks on the Progressing hacks right now. This deserves so much more popularity but I can't get off topic

The Lyst is an organization following some unknown leader. They'll be the "bad guys" most of the time.

So um, is this unknown leader Demitri? and did I just ruin your story?

Thanks, I feel really bad for not being able to release any sooner, haha.

No, haha. I would be disappointed in myself if my story was that easy to see through.

[teejermiester]

It's been a long time since any updates, so I thought I might throw this your way:



Proof of scripting, haha. Also, this is the new indoor look. Thoughts? The bookshelf, sink, etc. will probably all eventually be changed.

[Mario Famous]

This hack looks impressive so far...Somewhat disappointed that Zorua isn't obtainable though.

Everyone has a favorite pokemon, huh? Haha. I'm not including it in this hack for reasons;

1: Technical limitations with Zorua/Zoroark's abilities, moves, etc.
2: I was trying not to add so many gen v or favorites to the pokedex
3: Frankly, I just don't really like Zorua that much.

Thanks very much for the comment though!

EDIT: Ugh, people, I'm not as much of a jerk as I seem to be! Haha. The ugh was more for myself... But seriously, I just don't like the one-or-two-posters commenting on my hack and then never looking at it again.

The indoor tiles have a really good look .

Oh a proof of scripting...wait... that just a short phrase ( that a cheap trick) :D


Continue the good work teejermiester and good luck

Yeah Teejer it's just a lame level script

Just kidding XD I love the HG/SS Tiles. I use them in my hack, but I use the D/P/PT ones for the lab-style tiled floor cause I think they have a better look

They're actually kinda styled off of Wesley's indoor floor tiles. I sprite pretty much everything myself now so I don't get nailed haha. They aren't ripped from HG/SS, but I'm proud that you think so.

[Critx]

Nice HACK! Good tiles too(=

Sorry, I couldn't help myself from the pun.

[PokemonMasters]

even though muddy water will replace surf, i still think its a bad idea. Another useless hm and another Pokemon slave. Since the region is mostly water we will be using that Pokemon alot and i dont really like carrying Pokemon with HMS except surf , waterfall, dive & fly since its power is high.

[Pinkish Purple]

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is there any updates? progress seems to have stopped :'(

It kinda has. I don't have the time that I need to work on this hack anymore. Between AP classes, java and my social life I really don't have much free space. If I start feeling it again, I'll start working on this hack again. Maybe I'll do a little bit over MEA, I don't really know. It still requires about 40% more work until the beta, and almost all of that is scripting. I'm sorry to all my supporters, but a beta is a long ways off, if it's even going to happen. I would be glad to have someone work with me to try and get this done, but I understand that isn't fun and you all have your lives too haha. So, I won't as Fuji to lock this thread, but don't expect any updates soon.

[PokémonShinySilver]

Crimson does indeed have a nice storyline to it, it also has such a nice creative tileset that is made for the ROM hack as well, it gives a good feel to the ROM hack. It would be such a shame if the progress had completely stopped. 'Cause I would really love to play Pokémon Crimson.

Oh I see. I'm sorry to hear that you no longer have much time to continue on with the ROM Hack, I understand that you've got other things to do. But hey, if you'd like to see your ROM Hack continue but feel like you don't have the time to work on it, you can always give your ROM Hack project to someone who would actually help finish it off for you. You can also list down all the ideas you were going to implement and tell whoever you're giving Pokémon Crimson to, it would be such a shame to see this ROM Hack becoming dead and falling into it's grave. 'Cause there's nothing more worse than ROM Hacks discontinuing and never finish.

But of course, it's your decision. If you wish to not let anyone finish it for you, that's ok... I understand.

I could help! I don't really mind >.>

The storyline is so incredibly vague, haha. I'm surprised you got anything out of that! I really should update that... Or possibly make a characters list. After all, there are a few major characters in Crimson that are vital to the story and are, in my opinion, very interesting.

I don't have much time, but I'll probably work on it occasionally. There's something that just feels... wrong about giving this hack to someone else, even if they work by my guidelines. I dunno, maybe that's just me.

Haha, thanks, I'll be sure to call on you if I decide I need anything.
Actually, scripting help would be nice. It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I don't have the time to. So, if you can do that, and really don't mind, and want to help, then I would love it.

I've decided, despite the poll result and all of you guys wanting a longer Beta, to release a 1-gym instead of a 2-gym. It's now completely mapped, and I would just need to script it. I have no idea when a release will be or if I will get it done. So, now you actually might get a Beta. Yay.
