I actually started working on this about a week ago, and since now I know how to insert/replace Pok?mon and trainer pictures, I decided I'd post something about it. It's a hack of Silver.
Here's what I'm planning to do so far (in order of what'll probably be done first, to what will take forever... heh):
1: Change many of the Pok?mon to new ones. Some of these are ones I've invented myself, others are from Telefang (though many of these had to be edited to fit into 40x40, 48x48, and 56x56, so they're not direct rips), still others were grabbed from R/S, and a few are going to be based on the "Beta" Pok?mon whose pictures were released before G/S, but who never showed up in the games, like Kurusu (the baby Seel thing) and Honouguma (that firey Raichu-lookin' thingie).
...and of course, some are going to be left alone.
So far, I have 23 Pok?mon's sprites changed, and around 80-ish with names and stats changed. Some of those have attacks and stuff changed too, but I'm doing pictures, types, base stats, etc. first.
Here's one of the new critters (this one comes from Telefang). I don't know how to edit the height/weight in the Pok?dex, or the footprints. I also can't do TM/egg move compatibility yet, but other than that (and a back picture, since I blow at drawing those...) he's 100% done.
2: A lot of map sprites will get changed around, since the hack takes place in a completely new region (currently unnamed) which is far, far south of the known Pok?mon world, including Hoenn and the islands.
Here you can see the new, tropical-looking trees, and also a different-looking sign and a changed house roof.
3: New trainers, gym leaders, etc... because it'd be dumb to shove the Johto/Kanto guys on some big island they've never heard of before.
4: Changed around plot, since obviously Team Rocket just isn't l33t enough to be a worldwide group of criminals... so there's some new bad guys. Mr. Rival Guy will also be much more important to the plot than before.
5: New region. Well, it's sorta like 2 regions since it takes up the maps of both Johto and Kanto. This, of course, will take the longest, because not only do I have to actually change the maps, but I have to do the Town Map graphic and redo the locations/connections of routes, towns, caves, and so on. I'll probably save most of this for until after I've got all the basic stuff 100% done.
I'm probably not going to worry about the complicated things (changing the locations of routes and towns, changing what connects to what) yet, though I definitely wouldn't mind if someone could tell me exactly how I'd go about doing that... so I'd know how to do it when I get to that point.
