But, whyyyyy change the starters to the ones from Gen I-V? They seem to be kinda.. redundant. XD
Starting with a Zorua was good. And Lucario is not really a threat with Zoroark learning Flamethrower right? So whyyyy??

Or.. we could start with a legendary Poke (An underpowered one of course, to maintain the balance of the difficulty of the game)?

Maybee.. Mew?

A starter that no other trainer could get would be really sweeet.. :D

I want the battle experience to be the most awesome as possible so I'm adding everything that would make the battles much awesome.

It seems having Zorua with you won't go that well with the story. What if the player releases it? I need it in my future scripts. But rival still get's to keep Riolu :P I guess you'll have to stick to fire types... :3

So my plan now is you get to have a random starter then you'll be able to get Zoroark after you get your 7th Gym Badge in a huge event where you get to fight a lot of Legendary Pokemon... :3

No, but you will be able to catch it in a Jungle in the game. :)

[4thGenAce:D]

Okayyy. As you say so..

Jungle? Hmm.. kinda reminds me of Pokemon Emerald. XD

[Ash493]

Tajaros: Oh no... plz no normal starters :/ I'm so sick of them having appearance everytime...
Zorua was a good idea... And if you are just worried about players releasing it, then make every script involving Zorua(rk) check party pokemon Zorua(rk)'s number and if it's not present do a game reset xD

Haha lol. Well there's a thrill of having a random one this time. :)

And that would be a pain having a checkscript in every script you have, my only concern is also Team Jazz's goal is to capture a Zoroark/Zorua so what if you lose to one of the members/squad leaders? It would lead to some people being confused the grunt say I'll take your Zorua and you lose but you still have it lol.

[blazerj13]

aah u want to add a touch of practicality to the game, make it make sense. great idea on randomized starters, i suspect that they will be first form pokemon right? it'd be wierd if someone starts playing a game and they get a lvl 5 dragonite right?

You'll get a random starter from the 1st to 5th gen. Why would I give a lvl. 5 Dragonite lol.

Haha, yeah you can do that, there's no stopping you... xD

[Uzigunner]

First of all congratulations Tajoros on your first ever hack and I hope u will deliver an awesome storyline and gameplay.Good luck, but for some reason, I am not getting an evil feeling when I hear the name Team Jazz.

Yes, I know what you mean I named it like that cause Now I'm spoiling... xD the leaders are mainly jazz lovers. Remember Go Rock Squad in Pokemon Ranger? Doesn't sound evil to me either... xD And you'll know more about Team Jazz in the game just you wait.

[4thGenAce:D]

Oooo.. Go Rock Squad.. AHAHA.. Ahhh.. Touch-screen massacre for my DS days. :DD

References are great for the evil team's dialogues.. Like the Deadly Seven from Pokemon Snakewood, would you add some? Just for a little spark. XD

[tajaros]

I haven't played Snakewood yet but, we'll see... :)

Anyways here's an update. :)

I was working with battle backgrounds this past few days and I finally have them to work properly yesterday... xD

Here's the look for the Grass and Water Background.





I also finished doing the Indoor and Field Backgrounds but I'm still working on a way to fix something up.

You may say that this hack is dying but it's not I am working on this on my free time, I don't post updates much but I have more in store for you guys once the mapping is done then it will be to scripting! :)

But references shouldn't be visible =D References should be tiny so only the selected ones can see them =D

This seems to be a very interesting hack i love the story so far. I'm looking forward to playing the live beta when it comes out. And as for the Reign name why not call it the "Lorion Reign" :p
p.s. I'm new :x

Thanks... :)

You mean Region Name...

Nah, I'll go with Crown... xD

Also we have just got the animation for the lava tiles working so it won't be long till I start scripting and posting more updates.

Also the Battle Backgrounds are subjected to change. :D

[Ultimate PKMN Trainer Red]

Wow, this hack looks interesting...and the evil squad leaders are jazz lovers? Yeah, very smiliar with Go rock squad from Pokemon Ranger xD. I have a question...can we obligatory have Zorua in this game? I mean, there's a guy who gives Zorua to you when you reach a city, or PKMN center...coome on, please, I want a Zorua, that would be interesting with the storyline, haha... Oh, and Good luck too

You'll get one don't worry... :)

Ok, now it's time for a huge update!

I got a lot in store for you guys but sadly I don't have any scripting done.

Screenies!

Spoiler:

Ok, New TextBox and Font (which is from Emerald)


Here's a look for the first town and the Hero's OW. You can only pick Male as your gender here.


Yeah, the sink smells delicious.


Here's Route One.


Yay, for berries!


Inside Prof.Nara's Lab.


Here's the first city Flameheart City.


The Three Layer tile hack at work.


Flameheart City Gym...

And that concludes our huge update. xD Also thanks to NarutoActor for assisting me in the Mapping Field I owe him a lot.

[ForeverDash]

Hmm, you're missing Trevor/Zeikaro in your credits for tiles. The gym tile was made by him.

My Bad, I forgot to add him...

*added to the first post.

[NarutoActor]

The screen shots are really cool, I would think though for would chose grey instead of blue. ?

[Piplup - Hacker]

This looks great! I love how the tiles actually kept a FR style even though you changed them. You don't see that very often. Good job c:
I also like what you've done with the battle backgrounds!

[ForeverDash]

Nice Update bro! I love how you merged Emerald Tiles with Firered Tiles, they go well together. I also really love the mapping. So, I see theres gonna be berries right?

Yeah, there are going to be a berry system in the game so I'll remove that tiles and change those to OW's in emerald. One of the reasons why I'll be adding more OW's... xD
