ROM: Pokémon Firered (U)
Creator: Flandre Scarlet
Language: English

▲ Storyline ▲:

1000 years ago, when the region of Exten was one piece of land, ruins on the east side of the region were known as the Darkrai Ruins. Many explorers have been into the ruins, none have returned since. 1000 years after (present), the Exten region is now separated into 4 different islands. The Calco, Sento, Gamma and Forte Islands. Sento Islands is where the Darkrai Ruins are located. The entrance has been tightly sealed, and rumours have it that the seal will be unbroken when the "Hero" is exposed in front of the Darkrai Ruins. Your the son of a Berry Researcher. You bring home one day, a very old and dried up Berry. The Berry is over 1000 years old. Could this be one of the Berries that one of the explorers took when they went exploring into the deep, dark depths of the Darkrai Ruins? Why are the ruins called Darkrai Ruins? It is because Darkrai is rumoured to been spotted on top of the ruins 1000 years ago. When Darkrai got a crowd, he completely vanished and left everyone wondering. Your quest is to discover the myth of the Darkrai Ruins, explore the 4 islands of the Exten region, conquer the Elite Four and become the new champion of Exten.

wow it's great! I love ur story
and nice screens also, not many but good ones, it is promising
and don't forget if you need help for tile(as you already asked me once) just ask again I'll help

so good luck! keep up the good work

[Curt_09]

Uh oh, Scenic Productions--potential alert!
Well, I must say I've never heard of story in which a key element is a berry. Maybe we'll finally get a good Darkrai hack as well. Looking at the features, this looks to be close to a Nintendo-style game--I like. There used to be too many "blah blah get 8 badges beat evil team blah" hacks in Progressing Hacks, but now I feel that there may be too few. I look forward to seeing this make progress and get even better.

that probably has to do with the type of Rom the hack is based on.

FR/LG- has team rocket. Not really on the evil scale with Team MAgma/Aqua who are willing to capture legendary pokemon. In FR it just isn;t a normal part of the story. The main focus is to get the badges. since it is not a main part of the story, so it is easier to not add it when hacking.

for R/S/E the reverse is true

Also thanks for your comment. Really appreciated.

Hah, well the Scenic Productions team has alot of skilled hackers, so this hack might have some cool features.

Also thanks for your comment.

I haven't added much of the evil organisation into the story, as they won't be around as much in the hack. Yes they'll be around in major events, but no they won't be around as much as Team Rocket and Team Aqua/Magma were.

The plot of this Hack is much better than ANY of your Hacks.
So, it's kinda awesome that you wrote that.

Most important of all, the maps and scripts are also nicely made.
Good luck.

[Cynder The Bloody Angel]

will you insert new Pokemon /D/P/P) or your own ?
anyway i subscribe to this i cant wait to see what cames next =D

[agentgeo]

This looks like a really good hack! I can't wait to play it! Man, I wish I could insert tiles, I don't get it. But, it looks to good!

Well, check some tutorials out, maybe they'll help you. Thanks for your comment.

Updates!

I scripted and mapped Route B (the route right of Bloom City) and scripted the people and the Rival Event there.



Also, yes the starters are Dratini and Bagon, so in the end result you'll both get a Dragon/Flying type Pokemon, that is if you decide to keep it. So if you choose Bagon, he gets Dratini and vice-versa.

Thank you guys!

There's a typo in that 4th screenshot. lol


Looks good though.

Wow, I didn't notice that. Thanks.

[Flandre Scarlet]

Hi guys.

Updates!

I've changed the trees and most pallets. But in this screenshot, there are a few errors, because I didn't fix the trees yet. But this is what I mainly want to show you:



Accidentally made the frame speed a bit too fast. It won't be that fast in the hack.

Please people, share your opinions on the trees and palletes and the animation.

Thank you!

[Curt_09]

The trees, flowers, and palettes all look nice. The animation is awesome--was it hard to do?

[Nintendork15]

Looks good
But Are the mountains suppose to be red?

Thanks. Yes, it was hard. It took me... about a good 1 hour or more. I used a tool, and plus I was tired at the time but luckily I got it done in time.

Why do you think the mountains should be red? I haven't changed the mountains palletes yet, though.

[Flandre Scarlet]

An update on the animations:



Also something small:



I've started to remap Bloom City, because I wasn't too satisfied with the current map. Something just looked wrong.

Thanks guys! Please comment and don't hesitate to share your opinions.

Screenshots are looking very well and nicely presented. Map needs more a mazy style but I can see the creativity and the idea within it.

Overall, The updates are wonderful.

Thanks. I'll have some userbars up in a moment.

Updates!



It's the new battle background. It took me a while to insert, since I didn't know how to insert battle backgrounds well on Fire Red. But eventually I got it working.

Thanks!
