FireRed hack: Pokemon Moonshine

[Ninja Caterpie]

This is my hack, Pokemon Moonshine.
Well, I've watched the threads for a long time so I know what's possible and what isn't.
Anyway, let's get started.



Hack OF: Fire Red (BPRE)
Language: English

Spoiler:

Warning! Cliche!

You are a kid like any other in Rolok. Except for one thing. You are the child of Hitachu, the legendary martial arts master who disappeared a few years ago, around the time that a strange group of fighters appeared.

You want to become a Pokemon Trainer so you take a Pokemon from the Professor, April, to begin your journey. You want to find your father and become a trainer as great as him. You want to get the 8 badges from the gyms across Rolok to enter the prestigious Rolok League and, hopefully, win.

Oh, btw, that was "hopefully". The path to the championship will be a hell of a lot harder and, this time, training level 100's will do nothing in the Tournament. I'll find a way to make their Pokemon the same level as your strongest. :\

New Scenery and mapping
With brand new maps, Pokemon Moonshine will bring the landscape of Rolok to life.

New Fun Events
With a lot of new scripts, Moonshine can bring the people and places to life as well.

Other things?
You can complete the whole National Pokedex by trading Kanto and Hoenn legendaries to Rolok. Everything else you can catch in Rolok or on that island.
Some movesets may be different


Important things
Well, here's a list of the Fact File posts I've made:

The Pokemon Realm
The Enigmatic Fighters


Screenies! Everyone likes a spoiler, right?

Spoiler:

That's right, I've changed the names. No longer "Route 1" or "Route 17", it's now "Greenet Path" or "Hywell Pass"

The new look Bulbun Town.


Deisa Town's new tileset - I inserted it just the same as any other tileset, so I don't care if it looks like a recolour. > It's got working door animations, too.


A river city, Averus. It's got new tiles inserted too - courtesy of Fangking Omega.



I realise you'll kill me for making the climb to Mt. Hywell so difficult to manouevre. 'specially Thrace.


This is the inside area of Mt. Hywell - neatly named "Mt Hywell Interior".


Genimie Town, where you go after passing Mt Hywell. There's no cheap Walk Through Walls shortcut here, unfortunately. You do get Fly early on though, so it's kay.


Does the first one look familiar? If so, darn. Must be getting too much inspiration from Genesis. xD It's the (newly named) Hywell Pass.


It's the Sub-Rolok Tunnels - tunnels that were created by now-extinct digging Pokemon. Namely Armaldo. Dugtrio/Diglett now call the place home, but people wander around in there too.



Falcaaaaarn PUUUNNCH!


Chuck Norris.... ROUNDHOUSE KIIIIICK!


Berry Seeds. =P

Videos, my scripts in action!
Yeah, I need to fix this up. I'm going to insert a brand new one once the scripts get fixed up.

Banners!

No-one's perfect!

Tonnes. Or, well, maybe nothing. :\


What you might not know

- Eevee evolves into Espeon and Umbreon with Sun and Moon Stones respectively
- Maxie (Team Magma Leader) will be in there. But doing what?
- Some gym challenges will have cheap ways around them. Such as the third gym.


The most important part!
Nothing, right now.

[Tropical Sunlight]

It sound pretty cool.
I hope you finish it

[Ninja Caterpie]

Hey, guys! I have a new screenshot up!

[Tropical Sunlight]

Awww... I can't believe that little house would suit Prof. Oak... But, yet he chose it so that must mean he's confident with it

[Ninja Caterpie]

Should I make it bigger?
Well, I created SIDEWAY stairs!
They're in the new screenshot.

[Young Stunna']

You should make it more like something Prof. Oak would live in. This isn't the best hack I've seen... but Pokemon Moonshine? lmao. I love it, its original... Will there be alcohol in this game?

[PokémonShinySilver]

Nice hack, I really hope you create some tiles for this hack. Anyway I hope to see some more screenshots soon, good luck!

[GiantGroudon]

hhmmm, looks nice. wanna play it.

Spoiler:

btw, can you give me the stairway tiles? I really need them.

(gives support)
If you need help, just PM me.

Uh...yeah...I should make it more bigger (xD) and...Oak-ish...xD
What does Moonshine have to do with alcohol?
But...I might have some sorta bar that holds an event...hmmmm...

Nice hack, I really hope you create some tiles for this hack. Anyway I hope to see some more screenshots soon, good luck!

Thanks for the reply
More screens will be up sometime.

hhmmm, looks nice. wanna play it. Content hidden:

(gives support)

Well...sure, go ahead and use them...
I'll tell yu how to edit the pallete properly in a sec, got school now

[Chimchar 9]

hey nice hack man i like them steps where did you get them iv been trying to get them steps for ages can you tell me where you got them anyway good luck on this awsome hack

[DiggorysGremlin]

Hey DL. I've been meaning to check out your hack for a while, never found enough time though. It looks awesome though! I like the storyline too. By the way, moonshine is a type of really strong alcohol I believe.

[Ninja Caterpie]

Okies!
Guys, I'm back, but a little trouble.
My ROM crashed (Now I know to make backups...) so I have to restart.
Dun worry, though! It's getting back on track pretty fast.

As confirmation, the name has nothing to do with alcohol whatsoever.

PS. Stop asking me about those stairs!

EDIT:
I made a banner!
How awesome!
It's on the main page!

[NatureKeeper]

PKMM Moon Shine? I like the moon, as it has a bond for rain... Moonlight raises more HP in Rain Dance... And I like WATER-Types
But u know that i prefer Espeon as my favorite Eevee evolution.

[Ninja Caterpie]

Wha?
What does stuff...?
Well, just something new, Eevee can evolve into Espeon and Umbreon with Sun and Moon Stones respectively.

[Thrace]

Hey dark lakitu! Just giving a bump in case you need it. I really love your mapping in this. Its quite similar to mine (at least the routes are). I'd like to see some more screenshots and maybe some videos on some scripts.

I assume Eevee is the starter? If so can it evolve into its other types? Or is it just Umbreon and Espeon? Well good luck, hopefully you have some updates for us soon!

[Ninja Caterpie]

Whoo!
Thanks for the bump dshayabusa!
*Me*, you've said that to every hack in the scrapbox...xD

Well, if I make Eevee the starter, it's EXTREMELY cliched and badly overused (I don't CARE if i haven't seen it used!)

But...yes, it will be able to evolve into it's other evolutions with the normal stones.

[GKS]

Well good luck, I would recommend you change the tiles.

[Ninja Caterpie]

New Feature!

Feature Fact File - The Pokemon-only Realm

You can go to the Pokemon Realm!
This can be done via a strange nerdy-looking guy in the Spire (a place that you won't be able to go to until maybe beta 3).

There are only Pokemon in this realm and doing quests there can unlock things in the human world. (not telling what)

The area and world are much like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon but...some Pokemon I may not be able to include for my lack of spriting ability .

Well, I have some screenshots for you to wonder over!



There will be a store as well as a healer (that Chansey...I won't reveal too much about it...).

[Thrace]

Hmmm sounds pretty interesting...
Does this mean you are turned into a Pokemon as well?

Will the Pokemon only realm trainer battles as well? Will you change the tiles of the houses? It seems a little strange to me that Pokemon would be living in houses like those.

Anyway, you're mapping is sooo nice! Probably cos its the kinda of mapping that I do as well. But aren't you missing part of the house? Shouldn't there be one last row of tiles at the back?

A store huh? I assume you can only buy berries and such there?

[Ninja Caterpie]

Well, question answer time...
1. No. It doesn't. That's why the pidgey/spearow baby says "He's going to use a Pokey-ball on me!"
Well, the nerd isn't smart enough to do that and neither am I...

2. Eh? The grammar in that first part seems a bit weird but...no...Just wild Pokemon that will be at the lvl of trainers that would be there. I may have Pokemon come up and challenge you...but no trainers.

2.5. Well, I probably will change them to be more Pokemon-esque but...they'll probably look crap. My computer drawing skills are terrible... Well, the houses in PMD look...Pokemon-esque...xD

Scratch what i just said.
Pokemon are only limited in the Pokemon and human world by humans disrupting them! Seriously, in almost everything I see, Human > Pokemon this, Pokemon < Human that. I'm sick of it.
It's not like humans are better. Most Pokemon are stronger than humans and most Psychic types are smarter, too. Alakazam has over 4000% more IQ than an average human!
Without humans disrupting them, Pokemon would flourish wonderfully and probably evolve to be better, just as we evolved from cavemen. They can probably do just what we can do, maybe better.
Pokemon in normal games are just like monkeys and stuff in ours. Primitive.
Pokemon in the realm are just like us. Evolved and sophisticated.

Ahem. Now, that ends my very heated discussion.

3. Argh!
I didn't see those tiles because they were so far apart...Bleh.

4. Huh? Berries? ARGH! Berries! I forgot! TOTALLY! Thanks for the idea though...xD

Well, I'm working on a level script and it's got a million bugs and glitches. I'll attempt to fix that up and get a video up soon

[MugenPlaya]

this looks pretty damn awesome! good luck!

Oh I see, but then shouldn't it be facing the Pokemon next to it, if its scared that the player is going to use a Pokeball?

Lol sorry I meant "Will the Pokemon-only realm have trainer battles as well?" I didn't mean that they should have more primitive houses, just different ones. Aren't the PMD houses huge? I don't think many of them would fit in a town...

Cool! A level script! Can you tell us where in the game it happens?

[Ninja Caterpie]

Level script?
Oh, it's in the first town.

Spoiler:

It's how you get your Pokedex

If it doesn't work (which I doubt it will for a long time), I may resort to a tile script...

[[HoN] Jereziah]

Wow!
A nice hack!
I would like to be your beta tester...

[Ninja Caterpie]

You always want to beta test stuff.
I'll ask for testers once my beta is basically ready.

Anyway, I have news!
I finished a LEVEL SCRIPT!! -SQUEEE-
It's in your house and it's a simple thinking script...but that doesn't matter!
The video is in the first post!

Anyway, it's official, Eevee is the starter. The first battle is against a Mankey...but seeing as it has crap def, you'll easily beat it (I've tried).
Also, the experience is hard to get...ish...but...ah well...
