Pokémon: Next Generation
Things have changed. You are about to find out.
Before we start...
LOOK at the updates in this post regularly. One big update is currently showcased.
Introduction
Good way to say hi?
Hello and welcome to the PokéCommunity thread of ROMhack Pokémon: Next Generation.
I'm about to tell you some technical details, so here I go...
Technical details
Oh, I can't play the game! Help! I used Emerald ROM to patch...
Base ROM: Pokémon FireRed (not provided)
Distribution format: IPS
Beta availability: None yet
Stage of completion: 15% (but beta 1 is enough for now, isn't it?)
That's all folks!
Development
And this was the beginning...
So the ROMhack was first time introduced in early 2006 and had some hiatuses. I thought that FireRed, the original base for the ROMhack, was too hard to hack, but as my hacking skills grew up, I developed it quietly and then asked for thread reopening. But in the last quarter of 2006, the time of expected release, I experienced some glitches and fatal errors while hacking and I was forced to reset the development. I've started with less common base, LeafGreen and started to think more global. Now I have new ideas for whole region design and new concept of beginning. My good friend Christos helped me with making the script. I had an idea, he has excellent scripting skills and so. Now, we stand here and read this thread. Current stage of development is under a secret but don't worry, I'll inform you about any cool new stuff I and all good folks in RHAInc. put in.
Storyline
What all this is about?
You're a kid from Kanto. You think now: Ahh, again boring Pallet town. No, no. It became important national research center. You will be able to find out.
Kanto has changed. A few years before, all evil teams from the Pokémon nation - Aqua, Magma, Rocket - united into one team - Team Shade. They distorted whole Kanto and first two cities of Johto were connected to the destroyed region. Yeah, two of Johto. You'll be able to explore them. Some citizens of Kanto, Newbark town and Port Cherrygrove created the National Guard Union and started to fight the villains. Now, Kanto has whole new look, new set of islands (not Sevii ones, those sank into the cold waters of Blue sea) appeared and new cities were built. You can look forward ;)
Features
At least one interesting thing :D

Screenshots
We're bored. Show us some stuff!
First I want to thank Christos for one very nice tile you will see in second screenshot.
Then I want to announce a noticeable change: PALLETE COLOURS are CHANGED.
Be nice, be more natural, be GREEN! So I added more green-ish look and more natural colours. The old screenshots, only for reference, are in spoiler under the new ones.
Remember that those screenshots don't show full potential of the game. Don't forget that everything there has some reason.
A little present for you all
I'm glad that I could present this hack to people on PokéCommunity and I want to give you a present: A couple of userbars.
One for supporters, one for players - use recommended when beta or full game will be available and one for certified beta testers. I'm preparing a competition for testers so I'll certify more testers as it will be over.
So, here they are:
NG Beta Tester Bar Deleted. Cannot be used by public, you'll need permission - beta tester certification. Certified people are: Christos, Zak1392 and Don Patch. For more information about testing wait a week-two and then try to apply in the competition.
This is the end. I'll appreciate any comment. So have fun. See ya!
