No, you can't get your old team back, you will get to pick up your Dragon at Prof.Ivan's lab, they're at their Final Evolutions and at lvl. 30...

It would not be a problem I promise, I think there will be bonus Items or something like that...

[Uzigunner]

So how about it DRG, any intentions of using any DS Roms?

[DarkRisingGirl]

I explained it before. Part 2 will be on a completely different rom on a completely different thread. (Sorry is the main post is mis-leading, I have to edit it.) I've decided about a month or 2 ago that starting on a new rom for Part 2 would be the best idea because then I can add all of the special patches that are not in this rom and too late to add. Such as the Physical/Special split, the day/night, and a patch that will allow me to add as many OWs as I desire(I'm sure you've notice the absence of Pokemon OWs in the hack. This is because I don't have any room for'em and had to go over them for characters I wanted to add.)
The amount of work you're putting in to raise the Pokemon in this rom will not go to waste because the trainers near the end of the hack and the champion Adrian especially are Very Very strong. Don't mean to spoil anything, but their Pokemon kinda cheat the system because Darugis allows them some special power etc etc etc. Basically, the 4 knights and Adrian have some ridiculous advantage over you that I'm not gonna spoil. Not just them, but even trainers like Misty, and some basic trainers on the routes are getting much stronger near the end and requires you to have your Pokemon at very high levels. You Won't get your Pokemon back in Part 2 except your main dragon starter's final evolution at lv30 and along the way, the legendaries from the first such as Victini, Shaymin, etc will re-join you at adjusted levels later on. But at the beginning, you'll only have your dragon starter's evolution at Lv30. I know some expected 2 regions in 1 game, but to put the 2nd region in a new rom is worth it.

@_Uzigunner

I Wish I could put Part 2 on a DS Rom, but I hear their isn't really an easy map maker for it and it's much harder to hack.

EDIT: Really enjoying the ending of the hack. I think it came out pretty good. The Malice Courtyard is ridiculous though. I've never seen so many OW sprites on 1 map. There's like 70 Goons/Goonetes blocking the entrance to the Malice Castle. The player's friends are also there as well facing off against them. It's pretty cool, I can't wait til you guys play and see for yourself.

Forget that this hack will have a sequel, think only about this one.
It's like you are playing "normal" hack, isn't it? So why would the effort be in waste?

DRG, you shouldn't have talked about the second ROM so soon :/ Or you should have just said it's gonna be a sequel and noone would complain that they would "lose" their team.

[NO_obslayer]

still haven't completed hack my laptop broke just got a new one

[lebron]

hellp how we can play with our dragon starter at lvl 30 in the second rom??i say that because its not the same rom its different or when the second rom is ready we will be to do something like patching to obtain the infos from the first rom..and something other i play the beta1 and i defeated pete near the iceland city..is this the end of the beta1??

That'll be a great Idea but It's very hard to do so you have to start all over again...

And yes the BETA ends after defeating PETE.

Yeah, I think you're right. Hopefully, the update coming by the end of the week will get everyone back into This Part and Not interest in the sequel.
Also, when you guys play it, I'd like for you all to interact with all of the player's friends when you reach the new Dark Rising Headquarters. There's some really funny scripting and all of the characters show their different personalities.

Update Friday...

Oh wow, that sounds really interesting. I would be really curious to find out this funny scripting. After all, that's what really brings the charm about Pokémon: Dark Rising.

Btw, have you ever thought about having a sequel on a 4th generation Pokémon ROM? 'Cause that's what I was planning with Pokémon: Dimensions of Time, which is a hack of Emerald which I've put on hold... but in head... I've been thinking of a sequel of Dimensions of Time as a hack of Black Version. But wow, that's way in the future. lol Sorry if I was thinking too ahead of things.

lol No it's fine. I actually have thought of that plenty of times. But I hear hacking the 4th generation is Really difficult and I believe there's not a good, stable map maker tool for it either. If all the tools are available and everything could work steady, I would certainly consider it.

Hm... really? I'm actually typing up a guide on how to edit the maps in generation 5. And for hacking generation 4 and 5 just requires more tools more than anything, and maybe some hex editing.

There's also a tutorial on map editing in generation 4. But I can explain the importing part, which is that once you've exported the model as .imd from either 3ds Max 6 or Maya 7, you can then use the command prompt and then go to the folder with the program g3dcvtr.exe, then type "G3dcvtr.exe [model1].imd [model2].imd -o [outputname].nsbmd". And then import it into the ROM using Spiky's DS Map Editor.

But if you don't feel like doing it, that's ok. ^^ You would be used to hacking generation 3 by now, generation 3 uses one whole binary file as a ROM, where as the NDS ROMs have smaller files separated by a named headers such as "BMD0" or something, which indicate it's file type binary. But having said that, it feels more easier to me do hack NDS ROMs than GBA, but to you... it may feel like a totally different experience, like how it is for me hacking 3rd gen. It's quite hard to get used to a different platform where it's programmed differently from the you're already on once you're already used to the one you're currently on, which I totally understand of course. 'Cause I find hacking 3rd gen quite a nightmare. lol Maybe in the future I might continue my old ROM Hack on the GBA after LavaRuby. ^^

My goal is to make 4th and 5th generation hacking as common as it is with generation 3 hacks. And to do that... the map editing guides will be written, then with my ROM Hack Pokémon LavaRuby and Team Fail's Pokémon AquaSapphire will encourage more 4th and 5th generation hacks.

[alienhunterx]

Who cares with old team. I am pretty much looking forward to start a new game featuring all the awesome work and not missing any thing worth.

U do realize that there is no scripting tool available in Gen 5 right, or ru planning on making a program about this?

[PokémonShinySilver]

I might actually start playing though Pokémon: Dark Rising. It sounds really interesting and I surely would like to play through beta 1, so I'll download it right away and play it.

Edit: I just found little capitalization issue with "Wii U", as it's "WII U" instead of "Wii U" in the script in front of a Nintendo Entertainment System-like tile. I could actually design a Wii U tile for you if you'd like, DRG. Which will indeed replace the Nintendo Entertainment System tile.

To answer your question, there is NPRE... which I think may view or edit the scripts. I'm not sure because I haven't tried out the script editor part for it yet, but it does have the ability to open scripts and maps. But I know it can view and add objects to maps.

When I say script I mean scripting events that's what I mean.

[fourseasonguo]

Why every me I try open my trainer card to check how much money I have and i get a BLACK SCREEN?

Yeah, that's what I mean. Scripting events and where they take place.

Don't worry, you're not the only one that's having this issue in Pokémon: Dark Rising. I just checked it out right after I saw your post. Yep, it definitely crashes with a blank screen and static sound when opening up the trainer card.

Probably has something to do with the sprite data.

Edit: Oh and DRG, I've also included a small Wii U tile in this post. Hope this will do very well for Dark Rising. I'm very honored to contribute at any time.

I don't think that u can script events cus if it had allowed it, other B and W hackers such as Drayano60, would have made custom events and all, and also other hackers would do so. However if u can could u please show a custom event or a legendary pokemon event in B and W if what u say is true?

[DarkRisingGirl]

The Wii U looks great! Thank you so much. ^.^

Hey there DRG this is important, since u r gonna make Adrian have a ridiculous advantage over us which is swell but u better make sure that u don't cross the line cus u see, every time I hear "ridiculous advantage" it reminds me of the insane stats of the all the dragons we fight during our final battle in Ruby Destiny Life of Guardians. I mean srsly, it is impossible to KO the gurdians with the pokemon we have, so if u give him a huge advantage give him that, but please make sure it is nothing we can overcome or nothing that forces us to get rid of most of our team and use uber legendaries please, hope u get this, this is important.

[DarkRisingGirl]

I know. Don't worry, it won't be like that.

[basurakahaup]

awesome hack. id like to see it completed.

That's because you are using brute force strategies. If you were to use stalling strategies or IKO strategies then those dragons wouldn't be a problem =)

Not really, it is actually extremely hard to use the endavour tactic on those dragons, not to mention that they r just starters who cannot reach their final form. They can't even take a hit from them, that's the thing. Trust me I would have used that strategy long time ago, if I had the chance to.
