Who knows? (Well, I know but I'm not telling )

As for updates, I'm currently making the OW sprites for Aster, Lilah, ??? (a.k.a. Mysterious Woman), Kaius, and Vivi.

I should finish their sprites in a week or two.

Vulpix yes, but only Kirlia if Larvitar knows bite (can't remember). Remember, it's not dark type yet. But yeah, all you need to do is catch a few more Pokemon and it's all good.

This hack is very cool, yet, it's quite creepy......

[Konekodemon]

If this was one of the hacks I could vote for, for Hack of the Month I'd vote for it.

I think I found a bug.. Very early in the beginning when you come out of the genetics lab, and you walk down the stairs I suddenly get an exclamation mark above my head and run to a nearby truck. But then nothign happens.. I keep pressing buttons but I just stand there, presumably looking at something that won't come.
It looks very promising though, so I hope you can give me a hint or maybe fix it.

Below is a picture of where I stand..

I like the Lighthouse at the beginning of the game! Is it important in later on in the game? Also does it seem like the Lighthouse in Marine Harbor is embedded into the mountain?

[Jirachi-Fan]

It's like I am watching a movie, so much excitment =D
Really, I love this hack, for some reason it really makes me feel like it's the best hack I ever played. I often say yea very good hack but this one is for real. The plot makes you wanna play more, and I read every single sentence thats being said. Really I love it =] Don't give this hack up =D
I wish you good luck with making the next chapter ^^

[GamerXtreme]

OMFG, this hack is phenomenal!! The game plot is very thorough, and I really like the starter set on this one (Ralts FTW!) Haven't played a really good hack in a big while! I definitely can't wait for the next release!! This is worthy of being Hack of The Year =D Keep it going!

I just started playing this game and I've got to say, it's been really well put together, I'm loving the unusual story and you clearly put a lot of effort into it.

One thing I have to ask though, how will Machoke evolve into Machamp if there is nobody to trade with him?

[HaloSonic]

wow, i just finished beating the hack (as the female character), and honestly, this is one of my favourite hacks ive played. a great story, a nice mix of pokemon to catch and train, and a good challenge too! i wish the release date wasnt so far off, but i will be waiting in anticipation for it!

Pros:
- Great & Original Story
- Good Challenging Level range
- Nice mix of wild and available pokemon
- you left the some of the original scripts in the game, giving even more replay value

Cons:
-Why'd it have to end already!?

9.5/10

Although at the end... i somehow have a feeling that those cybernetic implants may have saved her(or him) at the end, so the story seems even more interesting now.

[The Corrupt Plague]

There was a useful little glitch that I have kept to myself for long enough, it's about time I shared it because I saw no one mention this. You can get infinite master balls and all you need to do is use the walk through walls code in Marine Harbor. Just search around the area east of the southern Lighthouse entrance in Marine Harbor until you find a sailor standing next to what looks like an old Amber. Take it and it will give you a masterball, and to make things better, it regenerates after one step! Repeat and profit.

Is strange...the game keeps freezing when I leave the lab. =|

Does it freeze right when you enter a map or when you step on a specific tile?

Has anyone else come across that problem?

Or maybe you the FRed ROM you used wasn't a clean one.

[Blackberry]

I believe that the ROM that you used was already hacked or something then you patched the game into it. xD

[Sarcastic Prince]

Maybe you should change from IPS to APS.
You see, APS causes less trouble and it's also more stable.

If that happens i can't play it! Don't do that, please. Or do both!

[VGAura]

From now on, I'll upload both APS and IPS.

Do you guys want the APS for demo 1?

[xJordan360]

This looks amazing so far, I'm impressed. :D

Now, first off. The intro needs a bit of work. Obviously, it's not the most important aspect of gameplay, yet the FR title screen and Obviously male Sister bugged me. X.x
However, I do love that my character actually gets dialogue.

Beginners package is possibly the greatest new idea I have ever seen. :D
Nintendo should take a hint from you.
ON TO BUGS:

Spoiler:

Her name was 'Jennie' in the battle.

Kanto towns?

Notice the outer edges of the text box do not disappear.

I don't recall ever meeting an 'OAK' in this game...

Most of the doors in the sewers do not lead anywhere, despite the misleading arrows indicating a new map...

Should be 'were', not 'was'.

The storyline was rather entrancing, and I can't wait for the next installment.
Keep up the good work.

[white_amithy]

This game looks fun to play. I'll try it out tomorrow and I'll tell you if i like/hate it okay

I think you should do that, i know a few people who can't play IPS pathches.
That would help some people.

I am sorry to say this, but I did not like this hack. I'm not saying this to belittle you or make you feel bad, but I am saying this to help you for later on. This is constructive critisicm and if I offend you I'm sorry.

Here are my following complaints:

1. What does a Cyborg have to do anything with Pokemon?

2. What do ghost twins have anything to do with Pokemon?

3. The characters weren't believable. They didn't seem to have any real emotion.

4. The Plot seems to be more based off of a Sci-Fi movie than with Pokemon. You need to watch out for that. Pokemon games have to be primarily based around Pokemon.

5. I like what you did with putting yourself as an NPC. People always like that.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my complaints.


With all regards,

-ChrisTom

Here are my comments on your criticism. Nothing personal, though. :>

1 (oh, and 2): Who said this was strictly enforced to stay true-and-blue to the Pokemon generics? If someone wants to step out of the box, they're perfectly welcome to. ):

3: They're more believable than pretty much any other hack, sir. :D

4: No, they don't. :> Seriously, if he invests his time on making a hack, he can make it however and do whatever he wants it to do. Perhaps you don't like it that way, but there's no 'guideline' that one must follow when making a hack.

5: Sure dude. :D

[Itz Spadezz]

First time trying out this hack and I absolutely loved it... Keep up the great work.
