    Introduction
    chikorita.png

    This will be the second version of Ruby Destiny. However, unlike the first version, which was Reign of Legends, where I only did almost all the stuff solo, this time, I wanna have a hack team to help me. So, my team and I introduces to you, POKéMON Ruby Destiny - Rescue Rangers!

    Story
    pikachu-2.png

    You're just a simple and average kid living in the real world. The day has come, yes! It's your 12th birthday. To celebrate it, you invited 4 of your friends who, like you, loves POKéMON as well. But then, when you were about to begin, a strange aura came in the room and made you loose your consciousness.
    Once you woke up, you found yourself deep in the forest which you aren't familiar with, and then you heard strange cries of animals. You checked it out and to your surprise, you found a Torchic and a Chikorita for real, or, they found you.
    A dream come true, or a nightmare? They told you that you're a POKéMON as well, a Pikachu! Shocked and confused, they offered you to join their Rescue Team. Having nowhere else to go, you agreed. And so your journey, as a new being, begins.

    Bugs And Glitches
    pikachu-2.png

    Fixed Minor Deadly
    1. Seen the video? If you have, then don't choose 'No'...
    2. Torchic's OverWorld in the third mission is a tree...
    3. Some text error/typo...
    4. After reaching Garden Field from Veronica Town, save your game, for there's a script which doesn't work properly...
    5. Heading towards Mt. Krystal again will cause the Angeallen script again...
    6. Heading to Vapid Swamp will trap you there...
    7. Do not lose to Regirock...
    8. Do not lose to either Rayquaza and Angeallen in Mt. Krystal...
    9. Don't lose to Aquadine...
    10. Losing to any battles inside the Tower of Fate will cause some major glitches for unknown reasons...

    Ending Message

    Well, the reason for me to do this hack with my team is to create an enjoyable hack for you all. Knowing that there are lots of other excellent hacks around, I only wish to hack for fun, and not to compete with anyone here on the forum. Though we can't guarantee a perfect hack with no errors, I just hope you find this one a worthwhile ROM-hack to play.

    Before playing the hack, be sure to read the rules on how to apply patches, and make sure that your Ruby ROM has the MUGS intro, as what you can see inside the spoiler in the screenshots.

    If you found some bugs or errors in the game, please post them in the thread entitled POKéMON Ruby Destiny Help Thread located in the Scrapbox.

    If you wish to post some feedback about this hack, please remember to read the rules, the POKéCommunity Global rules and as well as the Hack Showcase rules.

    Also, always remember to have fun while playing the hack game. ;)

    this hack is defintiely reminiscent of that of mystery dungeon. Im not really a fan of that kind of game, but im still very much looking forward to this one. the overworld is good, and...what is with that zelda-esque (or is it not, or wat?) room in the third last screenie lol ? anyway gd luck to the team on this hack!

  • Congratulations on getting it up :).
    It looks good so far, The best thing I liked about it were the three Pokemon?
    I don't know how you did it, (wouldn't the palettes be too small for three pokemon)?

    I also recommend changing the tree, maybe using one of the threes from Fr or Emerald.
    I'll see if I can find it for you, it looks farely similiar, and would do a good job.
    I'll have it up in a few minutes.

    Edit:
    Here ya go!, I think it's from emerald, not too sure.

  • .....I never thought you would include meh in the team when I helped you. Oh well. Nice outcome...(even though I see you hack EVERYDAY...). Still good luck. You'll need it. :P

    Anyways, everything seems to be ok...for now.
    I will be expecting some of your "demands" in making you some sprites. Well....,

    Au Revoir...

    Yo DJG! Your hacck finally got into the show case! Good Luck! Oh and I got first post.

    Lucky you to be the first one to post! :P
    Anyways, yeah, I'm glad it's up... :)
    That means we'll be working harder to give everyone a nice hack. ^^

    Thanks and I don't get you with your comment about the third-to-the-last screeny... :\
    I ain't no Zelda fan, though.., but thanks.
    Also, this ain't no remake of Mystery DUngeon, but it's like those games. ;)

    Congratulations on getting it up :).

    Er, well, thanks, but I spent 5 days just to work on one tree tile.., so I think I'll be keeping the old tree.
    Thanks anyways.

    The Three Main Characters(Pikachu, Torchic, Chikorita) Won't Evolve

    Can't they evolve after completing the main story? You know like in the Mystery Dungeon games?

    Be nice to have stronger pokemon unless there is a reason why they won't evolve.

    the main reason why they won't evolve is because it could ruin the balance of the game... For instance, the overworlds... and the back sprite... :\

  • Looks very good, but 1 thing:
    WHY???????? WHY PIKACHU????
    I know it´s THE Pokémon, but really, I don´t like it^^ (It´s just me, I think lol)
    Why don´t you let the player choose? Like in Mystery Dungeon, without the questions...

    And hey, did you make these Overworlds?

    Anyways, good luck,
    Bombah!

  • First, good luck on this new project.
    And, I know it's still a bit early to give a rushed opinion, so I'll wait till this takes a bit more of shape. An interesting idea, but... it's really weird to see the oversized Pikachu OW talking with real people (O.O), and I'm curious about how the three Pokémon will battle...(:S) That's all I'll say.

    But I'll check it out often. It'll improve, I'm sure of that.
