[zapht]

Hack name: Pokemon Academy

Hack of: Doesn't Matter, whatever would work

Additional information about the hack:

my idea to mix up the game would be to create some manner of pokemon academy. the main principle of the game would be to graduate from one level of the academy and ascend to the next by completing tasks in your classes and then eventually battling the teacher or some other sort of boss (replacing gym leaders)

2 ideas i had on how to create wild areas for catching pokemon/battling trainers would be either for the academy to have training sections spanning from grasslands, caves, etc for you to train in, as well as having you complete assignments outside of the academy in towns around the region. The region could be an already existing region, or a newly created one. if it were to be already exhisting my personal preference would be Johto (for nostalgic reasons) but whatever would work easiest is fine with me
it would be ideal to incorporate both of these.
you could have perhaps a training hall on the campus which leads to caves, rooms, etc with different landscape inside of them.

your rival would obviously be a neighbor who is also attending the same academy in your class.

these are just starting ideas, clearly the game isn't ENTIRELY thought out yet.
any input/suggestions/criticism are welcome and appreciated.

Finished percentage: 0%

Your hacking skills: none

What help or skill you're looking for: all pretty much

Additional contact information: [email protected]

Additional information:

as mentioned i have no experience with hacking, i dont know how it works really. i would need a hack team to assist me with all aspects of this project. i would need some mentoring in whatever my job would be, but im willing to help wherever possible.
on the flipside if you don't want to deal with a hack noob like myself, you can take full control of the project, as long as i am somehow still associated with it. just as like a "concept supervisor" or something similar that at least lets me have some say in the development of the project.

Hack Name: Pokemon Ruby Multiplayer Testing

Hack of: Pokemon Ruby (or any 3rd gen)

Additional Info: This isn't a specific hack, it's a project I'm working on to help expand multiplayer capabilities in any 3rd gen hack.

Finished Percentage: Tested and gave up long ago. The new one I'm starting is just barely set up. Less than 1%.

My Skills: Mapping, Text editing, and observing and copying to make something new. (my way of getting around the fact that I know nothing else)

Skills Needed: Anyone who understands more than mapping. Preferably someone who can understand the restrictions and changes in multiplayer mode.

Contact: VM or PM. Doesn't really matter.

Description: I'm working on expanding the multiplayer modes in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. (Emerald, Firered, and Leafgreen in the future) I'm doing this by simply editing the mixing records room. That way, 2-4 players can join and do anything! But in this multiplayer mode, I noticed a lot of events are not functional. I need people who can do further testing and maybe experts who know how to fix these restrictions. So far, It is possible to create a vast multiplayer environment where 2-4 players can explore and do things. But I aim to make more possibilities. So I'll need help with people who know and understand how multiplayer modes work because I sure don't!

[darkprince909]

Hack Name: Pokemon Cobalt
Hack Of: FireRed
(No Im not bandwagoning, Im just more comfortable with it than i am with RSE, and all my resources are already in FRLG style)
Additional Information: This game takes place in the brand-new Cobal region,which is directly north of Kanto

I would post pictures, but I havent posted enough here to be able to post URLs . Contact me and I can show you what Ive got

I have the entire region mapped out, and am currently in the process of revamping each area, getting rid of tile errors, making everything flow more smoothly. I really don't need any help here, TBH.

Basic Storyline

Spoiler:

(Okay, just so you know, I havent really taken the time to flesh out the story much at this point. A lot of the events of the game will hinge around new legendaries that I havent designed at this point. I just have a basic timeline in my head. Im sorry if it seems generic at this point.)

You start out in Newtron Town, and Professor Cypress is looking for you. You find him in his lab, where he gives you a Pokemon, and tells you you should go meet a colleague of his in Bromin City.

You go meet him, and he tells you to bring back a message to the Professor. When you get there, Prof. Oak is also at the lab. You give the message to Cypress, Oak gives you the Pokedex.

You set off toward Chloron City and the first gym, and you bump into a member of Team _____ (havent thought of a name yet :/ )

You reach the city, fight the gym,and head west. when you pass the last house, a girl runs out and bumps into you, and her dad follows. They argue, and she runs off, leaving behind the CUT HM. She becomes the Rival.

(it gets a lot less detailed from here)

You head through the next few towns and see evidence of the team doing stuff. You get badges, help with sidequests that I havent mapped out yet, and you start to hear talk of what the team is up to, and of this region's legendaries. You end up fighting the team at Hydron City's lighthouse, (over what I have yet to decide, because the backstories of the new legendaries arent developed yet.)

You go through a few more towns and run into the team again at some ruins. You fight your way through, only to find that the leader has found the answer hes been looking for. They leave, and you have no choice but to get to the next town.

After beating this gym, you get a call from Cypress telling you to check out an area that was previously unnaccessable due to HMs. You go there, and you see the teams leader has caught one of 3 sub-legendary (think the birds, dogs, regis, etc.) He leaves and leaves a couple grunts to fight you. hey let slip where hes going next.

You follow, but get sidetracked by something (again, havent decided.) After solving that, you are able to follow the team to where they were going. Again, youre one step behind, and the leader catches the 2nd sub-legend and tells his admins to fight you.

You fight the 7th gym to get access to the needed HM move and follow to the last shrine, and the leader catches the 3rd, and you fight him with those legends on his team. You find out these 3 legends act as a key to the uber legend. He runs off to get it, and you follow. You battle at the top of a tower, and the legend appears, stuff happens and the 3 sub-legends get released. You catch the uber legend, and the boss b****es about his plans being ruined, and they disappear.

You beat the last gym and the Elite Four, then a new area becomes available that I have put no thought into whatsoever because it is so far off from where I am in the hack's development.

i know, theres a lot of room for improvement, but this is what i have right now. This is one area where I could use some help.

New Pokemon

Spoiler:

Yes, whether you like Fakemon or not, this hack will have them. But unlike Quartz and Topaz, I refuse to half-ass them. If it doesnt seem like a normal Pokemon (i.e. some character from yugioh or something) or if the sprite is badly drawn, I wont put it in.

(I had a picture to put here but it wont let me post the URL. Again, contact me and ill show you what i got)

An example of some of the sprite work Ive done. This is the Grass starter line, Pupleaf, Wolpine, and Canifer. Theyll be grass/dark

And understand that I am still a novice spriter. These are some of the first sprites ive drawn, and i still have room for improvement in this area.

I plan to add 90 to 100 new pokemon in this region, and drawing/ designing/ balancing their stats is something that i will need help on.

This hack has been swimming around in my head since my freshman year in high school. im about to graduate, and i wana get this thing out of my head and into actual game form.

Finished Percentage: 10-12%
I still have a long way to go, but if I have help, I know I can see it through to the end.

Hacking Skills: My most developed skill would probably be mapping. I mapped out all of Johto for the fun of it, and ive re-designed this region 2 or 3 times. I can make and edit tiles and put blocks together, so Id say i got mapping under control
Spritework- Im okay, but a lot of my time is going to be focused on mapping and importing stuff into the rom, so I may not have much time to do actual spritework myself
Scripts- Im still trying to learn. Im not one of those that are like "Pfffft this is too hard ill leave it all to someone else." But te sooner I can get some actual scripts into the game and not just signposts or static people, the better. This is mainly where I need help.
Pokemon design- Ive figured out how to import new sprites, change movepools/stats/etc. But im not the best at actually designing or balancing a pokemon, so ill need help here.

Looking For: Scripters, Artists, Writers, Pokemon designers. Ill help and do what I can where I can, but one head can only do so much.

Sorry for the walls of text, but I wanted this one to kinda stand out from the generic "HE1P M3 PL0X!!!!1!!!111" threads. Hope you guys like what you see, and have enough faith in what Ive presented to think that this will be a worthwhile hack.

See ya

Hack Name: Pokemon Electric Yellow

Hack of: Fire Red

Additional: It's a remake of Yellow, but with anime styling. I want to keep certain elements of the original intact that I haven't seen in other hacks, while throwing in parts of the anime for new matierial (like more than one battle with Mewtwo, difficult revamped gym battles, Indigo League boss battle before the Elite Four). Basically it's an Yellow/Anime mix, but more Yellow in mechanics, without the episode like feel you see in anime hacks.

Finished Percentage: 5%

Your Hacking Skills: Graphics mainly. I have a background with art graphics, so I've done well with altering sprites, making tilesets, character alterations, so forth.

Help or Skills Your Looking For: The problem is everthing else. I know little about scripting, or how to use certain tools correctly. Iwould like learn to how to do this though, so tutoring help/answering questions would be much appreciated.

I also may need help with OW editing, spritework, and more specific graphics work, but tile insertion is the main thing.
