FireRed hack: Unnamed FireRed 721 Project

Would definitely play a FR hack with 721 Pokémon. Probably over and over again. Pokémon already has a replay potential through the psyducking roof. A 721 Gen 3 hack would be incredible. I do have a few questions though...

• Do you have a story concept yet? Or is it sort of a FR Omega deal where everything's the same but the trainers' teams have been given special attention?
• What about Fairy type? The addition of it would make this so much better
• Do you plan on making all 721 obtainable? How?

Well, this is your hack but just as like said few times - shoving all pokemon into small region like Kanto is a terrible idea. And remember - Mrdollsteak's rombase is pretty buggy so you should use it with attention.

Thanks for the early comments, but I think you guys don't understand what I try to do.

This is not a hack itself (technically it is, but logic aside) but a base for hackers to create hacks with. As such, all trainer teams would remain the same, and so do all wild Pokémon.

I'm happy that you're all fired up, but as I mentioned above, this is a base for hacks like that. Then on to your questions (sorry, this may spam your notifications box...)

Since Fairy type is included in the latest versions of MrDollsteak's patch, that's all inserted already! I'll add in the OP soon.

I hope you understand now. And for ItWasABadDream, don't stop dreaming, this is totally meant for hacks like that!
So anyways, I'll try to make the first post more clear. Thanks for your opinion on it!

Well it would definitely take a lot of time and effort, but I could see myself using this as a base to create Omega-like rom hacks. Of course, 721 Pokémon is a buttload, so it'd probably be easier if each generation's Pokémon were used for a different version. I'm not sure if I'd ever release it. All my rom hacking exploits have been for personal use, but if & when you do end up releasing this as a base, I'll probably spend a lot of time tinkering with it. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this. You seem to have made good progress so far if you're up to PokéDex #419. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! And you've got all time in the world, nobody expects a release of something you don't tell them about in the first place ;)

Glad to see you may be using this though, it would be nice if I could really help people by making this.

I think this should go into the resource section. Could one of admins move the thread there?

Once this project is completely complete I will so work on a personal project using this.

is this a resource? i dunno whypeople are jumping to conclusions

Did you read the first post? It says that it's not a hack, but a resource, and he said a few posts up that it's a resource/base. So since it's a resource, it's in the wrong section.

Probably missing where it's at,but will this include the physical and special split?

Yeah, since it's a ROM base of MrDollSteak's ROM base.

Glad to hear! I hope this project will be finished soon.

Yep, this is a resource. I know I posted it in the wrong section, but it is a side project after all...

test.gba is just your ROM named test. Nothing special to it, all you have to do is makes sure where it inserts is empty space in your ROM.

And as the First post states its completed to Bidoof.

Help me out
Of course, I cannot manage this project alone. That's why I ask you guys to help! Any help is welcome of course, but specifically we need

• Someone that knows how to fix palettes of icon sprites.

You know, I've always wondered how a Gen 3 hack using the overworld sprites from Gen 4 in place of the icon sprites of Gen 3 would look...

So, instead of opening the menu and seeing these:
You'd open the menu and see these instead:


I think it's possible... I mean, both of the examples are 32x32 and consist of 2 frames, which is what's required to be an icon sprite. Thoughts?

I think that's actually a pretty good idea!

However, this project sticks to the original sprites, stats and movesets everything, so you have to insert it yourself when it's completed. I like the idea though!

You can find the current progress under 'Live Changelog' in the OP.

For as far as I know, you can insert the code whenever you want as long as you got free space. So for now I'm sorry, I wouldn't be making use of your skills.

What exactly do you need help with regarding icon sprite palettes? I've played some other Gen 3 hacks that have included Electivire, Magmortar, Magnezone, etc. and their sprites were fine, but their icon sprite palettes were messed up. The icon sprites themselves were accurate but the palettes messed up. Is that what you mean? You need the coloring fixed? Because that's not too hard, it's just very boring :|
