I've been inactive for nearly 2 years. But I'm back, and I have something to present to you as of my return:
Introduction
Why hello there. Many of you might not exactly remember who I am... so I shall introduce myself again. My name is Flandre Scarlet, and I've been ROM hacking for about 5 years, more or less. However, I've taken breaks, and I've gone through a lot of tough things in life which eventually lead me to the point where I decided to quit ROM hacking in total. But, with school out of the way, a part-time job, and my life back on track, I've decided to start again, basically out of pure boredom! I've seen a lot of new research threads, new tools and some new ideas and such, which I think can be compiled together to form a nice ROM hack. So here's my attempt at that...
Storyline
Jirachi's power is vast, however... in the wrong hands, its power can be used for evil. And that's exactly what's going to happen.
Team Oni, an extremely evil Pokémon Organization, are capturing Pokémon, using them for evil experiments and slaughtering innocent ones. On the other hand, another Pokémon Organization by the name of Team Tenshi, are a small group of people protesting against Oni's actions.
Being completely outnumbered by Oni, Tenshi and its members are seeking talented trainers to aid them in their attempts to bring down Oni. By observing your battles, you are chosen to aid Tenshi in order to birng peace to the Pokémon world.
However, this is not enough. And one of Oni's bigger goals is, to capture the Pokémon, Jirachi, and use its enourmous powers to create a giant meteorite. With the help of Oni's Pokémon and Jirachi, the meteorite will be pulled within the Earth's atmosphere, and the region targeted... Kohoa. Your home, your region. Everything within Kohoa will be absolutely demolished, people, Pokémon, towns and cities, memorials, landmarks. Everything. There will be nothing but a baron wasteland for Pokémon to roam free and go feral.
Will Team Tenshi, you and your friends have enough willpower and strength to stop Team Oni's actions? Will you be able to release the Pokémon captured? And, more importantly, save Jirachi from the hands of evil? There's only one way to find out.
You'll meet new friends, encounter familiar faces, go through some tough times and obstacles, but life goes on and you must pull through.

★ New Pokémon (from Sinnoh and Unova) are implemented. However, not all of them are. Pre-evolutions and evolutions of Pokémon from Gen 1-3 are in this hack, though.
★ Music from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, Pokémon Black and White, and Golden Sun and Golden Sun: TLA.
★ Some new tiles. I've kept some of the original FireRed/LeafGreen tiles to make the game Nintendo-esque. Oh, and some different palettes, too.
★ New evil organisations, and a new plot. Some familiar faces, such as Lucas, Rowan and many other existing characters within the Pokémon franchise.
★ Updated graphics. This includes new battle backgrounds, new text boxes, DPPt/BW sprites and much more.
★ Some new spin-off events, which include battling/capturing Legendary Pokémon and some new Pokémon that were in the series, but not included within games.
★ And many other little new features that aren't really worth mentioning. But you'll figure those out within the game!

Progress Report
★ Game Engine: 90%
Credits- A few more things have to be done. Such as, stats for Pokemon, cries, more sprites, music, graphics...and more. I want to work on the engine as much as possible before I move onto main maps and events.
- (18/9/13) Update. A few more sprites, cries, icons and movesets need to be adjusted.
★ Scripts: 20%- (18/9/13) Update. A few more sprites, cries, icons and movesets need to be adjusted.
- I've scripted the gym of Hayley's, trainers, and her dialogue script. Her team has also been constructed, as well as her puzzle for her gym. The only other scripts I've done are the encounters in the starter town, and a few scripts with your mother.
- (18/9/13) Update. Scripted entirely up to Ebonee City.
★ Maps: 20%- (18/9/13) Update. Scripted entirely up to Ebonee City.
- Two cities have been mapped along with the starter town, and 2 Routes have been mapped. A few caves have been mapped as well, along with the professor's lab, and Hayley's gym. Still a long way to go until 100%, obviously...
- (18/9/13) Update. Mapped up to Ebonee Mine, started on Route 4.
★ Other misc stuff: 25%- (18/9/13) Update. Mapped up to Ebonee Mine, started on Route 4.
- A lot things still have to be done, like spriting OWs and trainers and such. The male has been completely sprited, his OW, front sprite, intro sprite and back sprite, but the female has not. So there is still a lot of things to do.
- (18/9/13) Update. Started female.
★ Bugs?- (18/9/13) Update. Started female.
- Well, no. Not as of yet, only because there are very few things that have been implemented! But I'm sure bugs will arise in the future. I've made plenty of backups after each "major procedure", such as music inserts, Pokemon inserts... And so forth, just so I can guarantee that if I go wrong somewhere, I can just easily start again from where I last backed up.
★ Jambo51 (and DoesntKnowHowToPlay) - For his ASM routines, such as the custom trainer battle music, encounter music, player facing trainer fix and the Move table split, and DoesntKnowHowToPlay for his Move table split patch. Also, Mastermind_X for his "two different music in one event" routine.
★ Darthatron - For many of his contributions to the hacking community, such as his physical/special/status images in the Pokemon status screen, and his repel patch which allows the player to use another one if you run out (if you have another one in your bag).
★ Chaos Rush - For some of his work, like Tiles and his 64x64 sprite resource is amazing, so I've used a few sprites from there.
★ Alistair, Calis Project - For the tiles that are used in this game, namely, the Mushroom and little weeds and from Alistair and the mountain and lake tiles are from Calis Project.
★ Marnic - The base of the GSC hero, from Spriters-Resource, which I heavily modified to make the Hero's backsprite.
★ Tool Makers - For the tools which I've used to make this hack, Lu-Ho, HackMew... The list goes on I just don't want to name them all, but you know who you are!
★ If I have forgotten anybody - Please let me know! I don't like leaving people out, so if you see anything or know anything that I've used that belongs to you or somebody else, please post or PM me and I'll add you here.
