FireRed hack: [Beta 2 Released] Pokemon Infernal Legend

[Pokepal17]

Storyline

10,000 years ago, a single, solitary legend known simply as "Mew" created the universe and the world we live in. Besides creating mankind, Mew made another set of creatures, to balance out mankind's power. These beings are known today as Pokemon. Pokemon are scatterd all over the world and are as common as humans. They are often used for battling or as pets. Or even to help out around the house. However as well as making the common Pokemon we all see, Mew made "legendary" Pokemon to balance out the events in the world. After the creation of the world and the Pokemon, Mew went to hibernate and is still hibernating.

One of the "legendary" Pokemon was Ho-oh. Ho-oh held great power, amazing agility and was as fast as a jet. It was known as the "Infernal Legend", a legend of fire so powerful, it could wipe out the entire human race if it desired. But Ho-oh never attempted to, because Mew made it in the genetics of Pokemon that they would never take the life of a living soul. Ho-oh had an adversary called Lugia, who it hated with all it's heart. Ho-oh and Lugia waged a war which lasted 5000 years. During that time, Ho-oh, using it's God-like power, created 3 warriors - Entei, Suicune and Raikou.

The 3 legendary dogs fought against Lugia alongside Ho-oh. To match the power of Entei, Suicune and Raikou, Lugia made an alliance with the 3 winged mirages - Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno. They fought and fought until almost everything Mew had worked so hard to create was destroyed. The other legendary Pokemon stood to the side and let the war happen because they feared that if they got involved, they would be destroyed. After another 500 years, Mew intervened and repaired all the damage. Ho-oh was imprisoned in the sky; Lugia was imprisoned in the sea and the 3 dogs fled across the world, only to be side a couple of times. Mew went back to hibernation. Now to present day.

You've been overshadowed by your brother Lance, the champion of the Midao region, ever since you were born. But now the time has come and today may just be the day you've waited for all your life - the day you get a Pokemon. Which Pokemon will you choose? What will happen during your journey? Will you become a professor like your dad or maybe the champion like your brother? But that's not important right now. There has been a lot of Team Rocket activity around Midao, revolving around a source of great power and your dad! As you leave your little town of Silver Town, your Pokemon adventure begins...

[~Teh Panda~]

Wow, u have really outdone yourself Haseeb ^.^. Although I may prefer the tiles of the old I.L., I love the new I.L.! You are a wonderful scripter and I am sure this hack will go far.

[panthers4091]

I like the back story and I'm interested in the events during the game. Good luck making this.

[Ray Maverick]

Great, new thread. Good luck with this, PokePal, and finish it.

[dragonface]

Thanks, well it's now a Fire Red style theme.
Am I a wonderul scripter? Well, when you see the minigame, that's what I call scripting (with ASM >.<)

Thank you, although I wish I could show of some better scripting with the screenshots, but I'm leaving that for the beta.

In an old ROM of Infernal Legend I have.
Fire Red tiles make my maps look better.

Thanks :D
I plan to

And with that I post my last set of gameplay screenies (there's a cave in the beta but I'm not showing screenies of it because I want to leave it as a surprise).

[NarutoActor]

wow you realy keep your hack updated but why in the city of snow the gym leader is wearing shorts he is going to freezs. and new tiles dont make maps look worse or dose fr tiles make a map look better. the events look exsiting (exspecial the pizza dilvery) but I have another concer the maps dont look that great they look okay but I think you can do better. The hack is looking very nice so far, this is going one of the hacks that I will play the beta for my in-joyment.

[third93]

Why complain? Nobody in GSC complained about Pryce, why start now?

Thank you.

Updates, beta is done and here is the minigame.



So basically it's like D/P but the different kinds of rock contain different items and have different strength. Strengths also are affected by the type of tool used but I would say that hammer is generally better (although it's basically luck). The tiles have got 4 formations and 1 is randomly chosen. Also, the event is timed so after a game, you'll have to wait a while to do another game. Hope you like the music, it's from D/P.

Enjoy on Monday.

Tomorrow I will post the screenies of the sidequest. Right now I'm mapping something special that something in beta 1 leads to but becomes available in beta 2.

[dragonface]

I like your updates, the title screen is beautiful. The mini game script is amazing. Good job on your progress.
I see a lot taken from Shiny gold version though?

[TB Pro]

Kudos on that script Pokepal. Anyways, nice work. Can't wait to play it.

Thanks. Those aren't Shiny Gold's sprites because the beta with them hasn't been released yet. And that is the same song that Zel used but from my own midi and it has less tracks and different instruments and a quicker loop.

Last set of screenies. The sidequest.





Monday will be my next post along with the beta, which will be in .ups format.

[NarutoActor]

ups eh so you did expand the rom.

also I always woundered it while playing gold. why is he wering shorts when the gym is an ice gym and theres ice every were, and he is old so his amunie system is not what it used to be. he is going to get sick real quick hopefully he has heath insurence.

[fallkitten]

Title screen is amazing*__*
Screnshoots are cool.
Why starters are Torchic.bulbasaur and totodole?

[Alpha`s Arceus.]

Arceus created the Universe,not Mew,Mew created life.And the date of the creation Is wrong.It`s 4,000,000,000 Years ago,not 10,000.

Lol, you don't get sick from the cold, you get sick from viruses.

Well, to start off with you’ve done a very good job on getting everything into place. I like that you’ve switched to FireRed default tiles, mixed in with tiles from FangkingOmega and Emerald. But, despite the good work you’ve done so far, a lot of things displease me. Well, the maps, they look exactly like maps from Liquid Ocean, by Cirno. I know that you’re just taking inspiration from it, but its way too similar. Your starter town tileset, is the exact one from Liquid Ocean, hereby only emphasising my point. But still, your scripting is solid and well done, including your mini-game, well done. Keep up the good work.

[Sarcastic Prince]

You're awesome, Pokepal!
The Minigame is nice!

But, I prefer the old Gold and Crystal's OWs in the old IL.
I think they're nicely sprited OWs.

And woot!
My 2000th post!

Hey, it's my hack, I can have whatever story I want. But if you want I can change the story to you're a 10 year old boy and prof Oak gives you a Pokemon and you eat some pie...

Congrats on the post.
And this time I want a custom Hero/Heroine.

Right, I said tomorrow would be the beta release date, but since it's Monday 26th October in GMT (not GMT - 5 which is my time zone), I'll be nice and I'll give you a present.

The beta :D with a .ups patcher

In the attachment on the first post and this post.

[Nikkie.]

Looks like Liquid Ocean, eh? Same tiles, eh? Well, I think you're stealing tilesets from Liquid Ocean; because it's someone elses tiles, she can't really say anything about your doing.. Manipulation is right.. Sorry to say. Come up with your own tile combinations. But good luck, eh?

[Tropical Sunlight]

Eh, what gives?
The Crystal Cave is blocked by some rock.
