FireRed hack: POKEMON: Dark Rising

[tajaros]

@DarkRisingGirl
So that means we won't get to capture GIRATINA? :0

[MidnightShine]

@ DRG: Hey, sorry if this is rude but I think the Ash sprite is screwed up.

[DarkRisingGirl]

The Trainer sprite? Yeah I may have resized it & messed it up abit. I'll get to fixing it or a better one. But the OW is the exact one from the website you and atif addressed me too.

No, you won't be able to catch Giratina. The only Legendaries you'll be able to catch are these:

The Good Legendaries on this list are the only catchable ones. Keldeo is your rival's legendary but he will give it to you later on in the game.
These are the Bad Legendaries who are mostly mentioned and being mind-controlled. They will not be catchable.

I decided to use this little present box for items laying around on the floor in the hack lol. So stuff likes Potions/TMs/etc in random areas can be found in these.


Repost: BTW, does Anyone know how to recreate the double battle in G/S/C when the player & Lance team up in a double battle? I could really use a script event like that. If anyone knows how & willing to help, Pls PM me. I have a Really cool idea with the player & your friend rival in a double battle against Tornadus/Thunderus.

[tajaros]

Great job on the POKéMON sprites,but I think everyone would totally love it if they are able to catch the every POKéMON.
I'll send you updates tommorow

[NO_obslayer]

I agree with everyone thats saying we should be able to catch ever pokemon

I like the idea of the presents around the map

[tajaros]

@DRG
have you already have the PALKIA and DIALGA sprites?

[DarkRisingGirl]

@ Tajaros- Yeah I already have'em.

Awhile ago, Tajaros brought up something when he was playing through my hack to add more updated events to my scripts. He said "Why does Salamence learn Hydro Pump?". I forgot to mention that every pokemon in this hack will learn some of their best egg moves from gen 3-5 by leveling up. I feel this adds more fun to the game and you don't have to breed(Do ppl even breed in hack games?) to get a certain attack. Some few examples of this are:

Salamence learning Hydro Pump when normally you'd have to breed to get this move.

Tyranitar/Feraligator learning Dragon Dance

Swellow learning Heat Wave

I used the pokedex on Serebii.net

And yes...Speed Boost Torchic is in the hack...Smh(Can't stand going up against that thing in B/W wifi battles.) Updated pictures will be posted this week.

The Mind-Control doesn't work on Arceus.

[MidnightShine]

Hey DRG, can this hack have more obtainable legends?

[SkyIsDarkBlue]

I notice something about almost ALL the Pokemon games and hacks. That the Pokemon are ALWAYS highly overleveled. When they reach the elite 4 or something. Please don't make that so in ur hack :D I'm highly anticipating this hack!!!

[DarkRisingGirl]

@ SkyIsDarkBlue- Sorry to tell ya, but this hack will be difficult, at least from the start of things. The first gym leader's Heatmor is very hard to beat going by my personal experiences playing through. However, I feel it depends on teambuilding. If you build an all-around balance team, you should be alright. The difficulty is another reason why I gave Pokemon their eggs moves. So they can learn a wide variety of different attacks and support moves. In the case of Heatmor, if you catch a Gligar that commonly pops up near Tiki Village/Lavaburn Forest(Which is before the first gym), it knows Dig & Roost(May have to lv up some before it learns Roost I think). Which should make your battle against Heatmor alot easier. Also, Gible learns a ground type attack pretty quickly & it is a starter.

@MidnightShine- I don't know, we'll see. A new trainer catching all these legendaries in his/her 40+ hr long journey is kind of a slap to the face to Ash, who's seen every legendary & never caught any lol. I just feel a 16yr old should not be able to catch any legendary pokemon unless it Wants to join his/her team on it's own free will. But this is a hack based on fun, so we'll see. I may add more to be obtainable by special events.

Question: Is it possible for Stealth Rocks to be added to a hack by simply puting Spikes effect & changing the type to Rock in the A-tack program? I mean, Scald was pretty easy. Give it it's original atk power from B/W, the burn effect, pp, type, and that's it.

[MidnightShine]

Yeah, more legendary's should be obtainable rather than 3 only.

[DarkRisingGirl]

Question: Is it possible to create your own weather & it's own custom effect?

You shouldn't ask questions in your own thread
That's what Simple Questions/Scripting Threads are for
And I believe it is possible since LaZ made Acid Rain in LC.

[DarkRisingGirl]

Alrighty, thanks. Yeah I figured it out earlier today.

[NO_obslayer]

I think giritina should be catchable coz its awesome

[tajaros]

We would really need tilers and music inserters....

@No_obslayer
Well there are other cool LEGENDARIES claimable without catching them...
And we will make changes through every beta so expect some legendaries added from time to time...

[pilyongprinxipe]

wow! I will support this hack! but can I request something? can the sprites be animated?? :D I am very attractive to animated sprites, it makes me feel more excited while playing the game.. Thank you DarkRisingGirl!!

BIG UPDATE:

Sorry Everyone, I've been out with my hack for a very long time. I had to focus alot on college studies and passing my exams. But, finally, the semister's over & I can get back into this. Another reason why there hasen't been Any updates or posts from me is because the rom I've been working on was too corrupted. There were errors from all the previous inserting and the tiles didn't look good to me. So, along with my partner, Tajaros, we started the hack over on a completely new fire red rom. We're still working on it, and a beta will possibly be out by this month, (No later then next month) but I wouldn't get my hopes up too much because all the pokemon/tiles/scripts/etc has to be inserted All Over Again.

So far, we've maped & scripted up til the 2nd gym. Here's some screenshots and information on everything so far:

The Main Characters: (These will be the images for the beta. They are not perfect as of right now, but will be once the final version is released.)
Oren. The Hero of the Game.
Orena. The Heroine of the Game.
Kaz. Your best friend and main rival of the Game.
Pete. Another friend of the Hero/Heroine.
Sydney. The mysterious trainer who has a past with Kayo & a connection to the legendary dragon, KYUREM. Her dragon, AXEW, is only seen in the 2nd region of the Game.
Kayo. A mysterious trainer who has a past with Sydney & the leader of the Grunts/Goons/Goonetes. His dragon, DEINO, is only seen in the 2nd region of the Game.
Dray. He proclaims himself as the "Number 1 Trainer in the World". To prove this, he's gone on a search to battle the pokemon champion, Ash Ketchum. He is also the winner of the Sinnoh League and the boyfriend of Florina.
Florina. She's an expert at computers and the girlfriend of Dray. She's the winner of the Unova League, defeating Dray in the final battle of the competition.

Gameplay Screenshots: (No, there's not a wild Blaziken in the game. This is just to show off DW Abilities.)










(The pictures are side by side, not together.)

Battle Screenshots: (The battle backgrounds have not been inserted yet.)









All Legendary Pokemon in the hack Will be obtainable & there will be more pokemon to catch now with 16 badges across 2 regions(CORE & OMNI). I understand this will be alot of work. However, I won't give up on the hack.

[Gold011]

this hack seems good, looking forward to it's release, but i have a question, there will be 4th and 5th gen pokemon with their original cries or just random cries (ex: when luxio enters in battle and makes beedrill's cry, or it will have it's ds original cry?)

[MidnightShine]

To all people, not to brag or anything but the boss of this game will use Darugis, a fusion of three Pokemon & that fusion was created by yours truly, me.

Sneak-peek:

[DarkRisingGirl]

@ Gold011

The 4th & 5th generation pokemon Will have their actual cries, although I am having trouble inserting them at the moment. The final version will have the exact cries, but the beta probably won't have them.

@ MidnightShine

Yes, Darugis will be the final boss battle at the end of the game. It's your 6 pokemon(or however much you want to use) against it. It has no trainer, it's too powerful. I advise the players who'll play this hack to gather up the legendary pokemon near the end of the game, you'll need it against Darugis. It's stats are all Very High.

@ Pilyongprinxipe

I apprciate the support. I don't know how to insert any animated sprites though, sorry. All of the pokemon will have updated sprites(as seen in the recent pictures I've uploaded) with better graphics as well as their own personal icon sprite in the menu.



Also, if anyone's intrested, please have a look at my Team Thread & join in to contribute to the hack and getting it out to the public faster. I recently posted the few things that are needed.

Wow, this hack has done a 360 lol it looks really good, im guessing you decided to use a rombase? The screens are nice, maybe abit bare, but nice and the new move animations all i can say is, Awesome!!! It must of been time comsuming. Good work darkrising girl, this hack is turning out to be great.

[MidnightShine]

Hey DRG, do you want me to do a redo for Darugis using Shadow Lugia's wings? I can do a recolor if you want but I already have a decent Shadow Lugia sprite so do you want a redo? Just for the wings.

[DarkRisingGirl]

@Midnightshine

I like the Darugis that you gave me with the white wings, but you can recolor the wings and insert the shadow Luigia wings. I'll see which one I like best.

[qaz015393]

Great job on the sprites & tiles guys *& gals*. They look great. Don't worry Dark I was also busy with college as well. The characters are great. Can't wait to see more & what else the team did on the hack. Keep up the great work.
