So, here I go! :D I hope my four hour writing session is worth to see. :)
Hack name: Pokémon - The story of Mewto
Hack of: Pokémon FireRed
Story:
It is late in the night when you wake up. It is cold on the floor you layed on. You don't know what happened and how you came here. You didn't drink any alcohol, you are only 14, but you feel pain and anger. There are other men, obviously older than you who are also laying on the cold floor and use an old potato bag as a planket. You are too afraid to wake them up, so you decide to walk around alone. Two men are standing in front of the doors. No escape. You talk to them, they claim that Giovanni should give them more money and better places to sleep, but thanks to him, they have work, so that was reason for joining Team Rocket. Team Rocket?! The thief and terror organisation? There is a sign on the wall: "Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket." You are about to start an adventure full of crime, robery and revenge.
Main plot:
- In this game you start as a grunt of Team Rocket and you may ascend to a high rank (the right hand of Giovanni)
- You get your first Pokémon; it's a Lickitung!
- You need to earn the eight 'Rocket badges' to become a full member of Team Rocket
- You soon find out that your parents are Jessie&James (Giovanni sends them to accomplish "the mission", but they are too weak, so they need your help!) Later on, you find out that you are the result of an experiment!
- You remember, that you were defeated by youngsters and they took your once loved Pokémon (Evee) as a prize trophy.
- Ash Ketchum, Misty and Brock are young trainers who cause Team Rocket big trouble and you should stop them!
- While you turn to crime more and more, Ash is becoming a great trainer of Kanto
- After blasting off Jessie&James again and again, you start taking revenge for them and support them in fights
- In the beginning you lose against Ash too, but you become stronger by visiting the 'Rocket Fight Club'
- You need to do a lot of jobs and you will be rewarded by Giovanni
- After you earned the fifth badge you were told that there is a project of Team Rocket. Giovanni inducts you to "the story of Mewtwo"
- You need to find the three starters of Kanto (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle) and bring them to the 'Rocket Research Center'
- Because of the destruction Mewtwo causes you need to defeat it and bring it back to Giovanni
- Mewtwo is too strong and defeats you in its powerful 'Mecha Mewtwo' version, after the fight it flees
- Mewtwo is on the island of the first Pokemon movie and you only see what happened there, but you are not presently there. After the self-sacrifire of Ash and the disappearance of Mew, Mewtwo and the clone Pokemon, the main plot ends here.
Subplot
- You wake up at the same place where the story begins and you need to talk to Giovanni
- You need to discover new areas of Kanto and complete missions (e.g. 'Where did Siegfried&Roy hide Arcanine? Team Rocket knows!' or 'Don't shoot films about Ghost Pokémon, Team Rocket is creepier than ever!' or 'Between poverty, sadness and a lot of Jynx you can always find a Rocket grunt' or 'Grunts need to make the household; so please remove the Muks' or 'Mission to moon - We have the knowledge' or 'The last Uri-Geller' or 'Grunts better have no past' or ...
- The main plot includes five of the eight 'Rocket badges', it is time to earn the other three!
- Giovanni finds the diary of Mewtwo and he wants you once again to find it and catch it for him
- After you found it and caught it with a special Pokéball you need to give it to Giovanni
- Giovanni goes to the 'Rocket Research Laboratory' and releases all his Pokémon to boost the power of Mewtwo
- Giovanni is proud of his new strong and pure evil Pokémon and wants to battle you
- The final fight between you and Giovanni is the end of the subplot (Mewto uses Selfdestruct after it defeated four of your six Pokémon)
- There is a long epilog after the fight, Giovanni doesn't want to see you again
- You need to go to Jessie&James and they say: 'It's finally over, we can start a new life together as family...'
- Credites
- if you want to continue, you can travel around Kanto and catch some Pokémon
Features:
- Display replaces the Pokédex (it is the pretty much the same thing, but it collects the data of a Pokémon no matter if it is caught or not!)
- Less encountering Pokémon: wild Pokémon appear at different places than normal*
- Rocket Ball is as good as an ordinary Pokéball. It is one of the products made by Team Rocket.
- There are sequences (e.g. you can see Ash winning a gym battle or something else...)
- Only 1st Generation Pokemon are in the game (not all of them!)*
- Motorcycle replaces Bike and it can only used on the 'Kanto Street', you only can fly with Jessie&James with the Meowth Hot Air Balloon or with a pilot with one of the Team R Helicopter to get to the mission place
- New fake Pokémon: Mecha Mewtwo
- Cleaning system: wastebins** are more common in every city.
- Eight more or less official 'Rocket badges'*
- New outfits: For some missions you'll need special clothing
- New buildings, new areas: 'Rocket Head Quarter', 'Rocket Fight Club'
'Rocket Research Center', ' Rocket Mart' 'Secret Island', 'Rocket Research Laboratory',
'Ponds of Kanto', 'Grainfields of Kanto'*, 'Jungle', 'PokéBank'*, 'Pokécafé', 'Pokémon Hotel'*, 'Kanto Street', 'Pokéball Factory' 'Pokémon National Park' 'The Dunegon'* The Sewage System of Kanto (Route 1-50)*
'Industrial Area' (that includes two sub areas): 'Peripheral Area' and 'Abandoned Area'
- Remapping of the 'old' FireRed towns, routes, areas and caves
- Rocket Membercard replaces Trainercard: Every Team Rocket member needs one to identify as a member, it also shows you how many badges you have.
- Jeff, the shop owner of the 'Rocket Head Quarter'
- Emily Oak, a young cousin of Gary who tries to protect the three starters of Kanto
- Amber, the deceased daughter of Dr.Fuji
- Nurse Joy, she is still the lovely Pokénurse and heals your Pokémon for free
- Gary, Ash, Misty, Brock, Prof. Oak, Delia Officer Rocky and many other trainers...
- Team Rocket member: Grunts, Professors, Scientists, Assistants, Jessie&James, Giovanni
- Special guests (appear in Subplot): Ghostbusters, Siegfried&Roy, Uri Geller, David Copperfield
Finished percentage:
- 0% (I've finished the storyline and I gave thoughts to the features!)
My hacking skills:
To be honest, I can map a little bit and I could learn scripting as well, but I am a beginner of this.
What help or skill I am looking for:
I need help for scripting/texting and mapping. Beta players would be nice too, but at first there is a lot of work to be done.
Additional contact information:
So you like my hack and want to help me with it? Really? You are not joking? Okay, fine then you can contact me via E-Mail:
[email protected]
If you prefer, I'd send you my facebook link, so we could chat more easily. I got Skype too, but I use it rarely KrebornSchmidt (Daniel). You have WhatsApp? I'd give you my number if you like to.
Additional information:
As you may have noticed, there are some words which have one or two stars next to them. I will explain why:
1) Less encountering Pokémon: There are obviously less Pokémon in the game, they appear at specific places in the game, to make the game a little more realistic. Here are some examples: Pidgey is a small bird and it would be nice if it can be found on public places in cities. Spearow is also a small bird and I think you can find it on the 'Grainfields of Kanto'. By defeating a Spearow a Fearow comes to attack you, because you defeated one of the Spearows. Koffings are reason for pollution, so why not putting them to the 'Industrial Area'?
2) There are also Rocket Marts which are selling special objects that can only be bought there and not in normal Poké Marts. Jeff, one Team Rocket member owns his own shop, but he gives you objects you need for missions and the special clothing (e.g. The Rocket clothes for Grunts)
3) PokéBank: You can create a bank account and withdraw and deposit money. (Limit: 999.999$) You don't get any interest for the money you have on your bank account.
4) Wastebins: You don't need an object you just found? Your computer is full with items? Here's the solution! You just throw away the objects you don't need anymore in one of the many wastebins, but be careful, there could be Rattatas in there and they could attack you. (The limit of objects per bin is 15 objects)
5) 1st Generation: There are 151 Pokémon in the first generation, I think that is already very much for Team Rocket, so I decreased the number of catchable Pokémon to about 100 (a list of all will come soon). Plus Display, a remake of the Pokédex is not as good as the original one, so there are some missing entries and they can't be filled.
6) The eight 'Rocket badges: There are the eight badges that a grunt need to collect to become a full member of Team Rocket. You will get each one of them by Giovanni. So do the jobs he wants you to do for him!
7) Rocket Membercard: To identify yourself as a member of Team Rocket you need a Rocket Membercard. Understood? Fine!
8) You need to steal some Pokémon for Giovanni, unfortunately you can't use them in a battle.
I was inspired by the hack of "Pokemon Apollo" and "Pokemon Ash Gray", so I wanted to create an alternate version of the TV show. I really liked the idea of being the "bad guy" in the story, I liked the idea of an anime-based hack, so I thought, how cool would it be to combine this? In the end, it is not that evil, just because it is Pokémon.
