[Chaos Uxie]

hmmm i dont agree the bright tiles looks good.and thanks for a powerful hybrid as the starter.and u should make every single pokemons available in this game.coz i dont have to trade and the game has a bug.whenever i enter the saren city bus station my hero gos into the balck areas and hangs the game try to fix it.and the bus system sucks and do not replace they fly system coz in the fly way i can go to towns from anywhere.(try to replay my post as soon as possible.)

I'm taking out the bus system in Beta 3 because I feel like nobody even cares about it and is basically useless because of Fly. And thanks for the compliment.

And another thing cant u change the main map????????becoz that u have changed the routes the main map doesnt seem to be working so try to fix that or else try to make the routes accurate to the map.and dont delete the bus system.since u will feature all the regions right????so in order to get to different regions u should make the bus system available to go to different regions.and this hack has won my heart (I usually never support hacks but this hack is kinda different

hey dude i just played beta 2, i must say your mapping and scripting is very smooth, but i personaly dont think that i like the mix of mew/pikachu, type wise electric/psychich its neet but the pokeon itself loooks for lack of better terms ***************. but since youve done well with your mapping and scripting i cant wait to see more, one other thing i didnt like that he gets the legendary right from the beggining and doesnt have to work on getting it. but its different than every other game :D

The bus system will be deleted, and I will use another way of getting to every region.

Mikachu is no longer a legendary Pokémon. It is human-made, so it is one-of-a-kind, but not a legendary.

I shall be updating the screenshots soon. :>

Hey, I was wondering, can I test Beta 3 for you?

I believe you have to apply for team positions at his team thread. :3

Yeah, well, I guess you'll have to sign up here since my team thread will be locked if anybody posts in it...
As soon as I get events in Lake Zigger sorted out, I'll send you the ips.

[Saiba Aisu]

Not too sure if I like the idea of 'Mikachu'...

[myokan]

will it make a diference if I patch it with leafgreen?

Most hacks will have a lot of weird bugs, if they work at all, if you patch them to the wrong game, so yes. Why would you want to anyway?

[diegoisawesome]

Hello, everybody! New update:
Some of the story is (once again) being revamped and will have a fresh new plot.
DeathWish (aka Ray Maverick) helped me insert some new tiles and make some.
I'm using ZodiacDaGreat's RTC clock, so that means that D/N is coming soon! :D
EDIT: Also, more constant updates can be found on my Twitter page: twitter.com/diegoisawesome
Follow me today!

Yes, I haven't yet updated the uberly outdated screenshots yet.

[diegoisawesome]

I'm so sorry for the double post, but I have something HUGE to say:
Shining Opal is being restarted.
Yes, the game you know and love is calling it quits... but it's coming back with a vengeance!
We're having an RTC (interdpth), Day & Night (interdpth and ZodiacDaGreat), and features you may never have seen used before in a Pokémon game (JPAN).

So no worries, folks! Shining Opal will never die, no matter what happens! (unless I die first, lol :D)

[Swimmer Ryan]

Wow, I really have to say that is a great looking game. Probably the best tileset I've ever seen and it's such good quality game at the same time. Please keep going with this game.

Sorry for the double post but I really want to know, is this game still going, hasn't had a post in a month (apart from me)

Sorry about that! I've just had a lot of homework lately, and hacking took up the rest of my time, but I believe that it's finally time for updates!

Updates

Well, ever since the restart, I was working on remaking every script from scratch, importing old stuff into the new ROM, and everything. Now, I'm here to show you a progress report (and maybe some screenies ):

• Almost done with the new Lake Zigger and all of its events.
• Reimported old maps, overworlds, backsprites, sprites, and all that good stuff.
• Spiced up the storyline some and made it awesomer.

And now for the screenies!

My fanbase is as extensive as ever, and that kept me going through the hard times.
Thanks again for all your support!

The screenshots are nice, I'd defiantly want to see more, the only problem I have is with the title screen, the font just doesn't look good.

[simdu68]

it seems you haven't done much in your hack......have you got no maps of the game? because i don't want to download it if its not yet finished or far enough........

[zein]

Look very nice i like it...i played it and are a very nice hack for your free time...

[LightSlei]

Well I finished my replay through of it.

Hope you enjoy.

Diego: If I take something down it means I plan to re-do it because I am confident I can do better.

[effigia777]

dude, how do you justify calling this a beta 2? at this rate you'll be up to beta 37 before we have the full game! still, it may only be one town but it was really good. i like the mew/pikachu hybrid.

[altariaking]

i can't download it. it just comes up random letters when i click the link

[chrunch]

I've never got around to commenting on this before, so i'll do it now.

From the screens, it looks quite good, however, there's not very much to go by.
From the Hacks Showcase forum rules, this shouldn't even be in the Hacks Showcase, as it doesn't have 10 screens, or "signifigant progress"...
But, I've played the previous SO(Before the restart) and it was amazing.
I'll play the beta now, and, good luck!

[Luster]

the mew/pikachu cross is a pretty naff idea, sorry to say. Hybrid pokemon are made just for a laugh, not for actual games.
