FireRed hack: Pokémon Normal (Build 3.0 RC 2.73 Live Update)

[FrozenInfernoZX]

so RC1 and RC 2 has lot of differences? if not many then i will play RC1 now, and then later wait for whatever comes after RC2, but if lot of differences i will wait for RC2

There will be lots of differences and graphical updates. Mostly internally to make the game run better. Might as well wait for RC 2. It'll practically be a full region game with some legends, but without the post game content.

I'm stuck man. I'm reslly stuck in that route 55 cave. There is no Hmmm.. Text message (I thought i saw it but it never came) i followed the youtube video and ran 50-60 circles for 5 mins and it didn't work. No Hmmm message, no nothing. I'm stuck. :|

Are you staying within the area where the text is? Unfortunately it may be your emulator that's causing the problem?
-----Edit 1-----
And by the way, did anybody do the Bug Catching Contest? It's today! On Wednesdays at the Route 50 entrance. It's an oddly interesting bug catching contest as you will find out yourself... hahahaha.

Okay I am really stuck. I just got out of murk cave and got back to seaview and beat joey but after that I have no idea what to do. I tried going back to the starting town but again nothing happened. Also the bar is still closed.
edit: nm I totally missed having to battle tizzle in the cave XD

 

[mmyy212]

Just finished beta 3. This hack is amazing. Cant wait for next update.
This game is so good that I will gladly start over for the third time.

In the next build, there will be a script that makes you auto walk towards Tizzle in order to prevent trainers from having this issue.

Thanks for the support!

I just realized something. The "evolution problem" when it says "huh" while trying to evolve a Pokemon through a stone: For instance: Minccino, turned out to be an unintentional feature. It is not a "glitch" per se. It actually works out well.
The real reason some Pokemon cannot evolve, is due to the sketchy lady in Pokewood not unlocking your full evolutionary (mainly Eevee) powers yet [Secretly the national dex lol]. Although she does not state that other Pokemon's evolutionary powers are unlocked. It's also done like that so players won't have a lvl 5 evolved Minccino tearing things down haha.

This hack is amazing so far! I absolutely Love it! OMG when you're going through the Seijo Cavern, and there's that winding path where the karate guy block you... I was stuck there for ages and didn't realize I could talk to Frozen from up the ledge. :P Damn you!!!!

 

[osterzone]

This looks like it might be good. I mainly commenting so I'll get email notifications on this.

Since there is a Prequel to this, what order should I play these in, when I play them?

 

[smokey1221]

is this a completed hack .. if not how far does it go

 

[Crazyboy423]

Hi, i'm on mobile and i don't think i have access to UPS patcher. Is it possible to download the patched rom somewhere?

Is your phone an Android phone? On the Play Store there's an app called ROM Patcher and it works fine

 

[Wilkins1997]

Where can I download this, it looks awesome!

[lucairo123]

Hahahaha! That's funny! Glad you enjoyed the game!

This game is being created before the presequel. That game is being slightly worked on in the undergrounds on an Emerald rom base. A thread on that may be released during Normal Version's beta 4/5 release.

is this a completed hack .. if not how far does it go

It goes as far as 65% of the region with 5 badges and you get to visit a town of the 2nd region.

What do.you do after the whole gang battle in aqualight city

It depends on what you did so far. Go get your 3rd badge in Aqualight, but you have to stop the fight first. Once you get your 3rd badge, go to Route 56 Desert.

You need to enable RTC and Flash 128 on your emulator bro.

So I decided to give Seijo the Hoenn wild battle music! And there is also a nighttime version of it too!
The HP boxes are a patch from LeiAlcantara025, his great work has been credited.

The Introduction
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The noble and quite popular Professor Oak has made a national announcement on television stating that he will be visting the Taejo region. Excitement rained upon the local Taejo residents, but none other than Javyer Quau. Professor Oak has stated that he will be moving to Brighton Town, a town located on the western border of the Taejo and neighbor of the undeveloped Seijo region. Javyer's son Zaquar Quau who is 19 at the time is also excited to hear this wonderful news. The Quau family patiently awaits for Oak's arrival...

​

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Storyline
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pokémon Normal Version will be based on the theory of continental drift which will correlate to the legendary Pokémon Regigigas. Hence the title, "Normal Version." In order to add a little twist to the capturing of Regigigas, the legendary will be in the quite popular fan made "Sky Forme." (I will try to sprite a sky form Regigigas based on a few awesome fan made images I've seen on the internet). Also, the starter of the game will be Eevee with Professor Oak doing research on what makes Normal Pokémon so diverse. (Meaning that they are able to learn elemental attacks like ice beam, volt bolt, flamethower all in one moveset). An Eevee is given to indulge in his research. Some Pokemon from every region will be included in the game in a custom made Region Dex, with an "Extended" Dex later on in the story. The game will take place in the Taejo and Seijo region (with historic references to a historic region called Uiyto). Region names were based on the similarities between Kanto's and Johto's names (One letter before the K, J. T and S and similar endings) since these were my favorite regions. In addition, players will get to battle my counterparts "Frozen" (user of Ice and Steel) and "Inferno" (user of Fire and Rock) as they will be deeply involved in the story. Frozen wants to wipe out all life forms on the planet with the "Ice Age" and Inferno wants to build landmass in order to create his "New World." My third counterpart is hinted, but I'll leave it a secret.

The Progression and Download Center
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please Note (Please Read): As per Build 3.0 RC 1 basis.
These are not bugs. They just have not been implemented yet.
- The hero has NO TRAINER BACKSPRITE YET.
- The Pokédex Pokémon data locations have NOT BEEN DONE YET.
- Water tile animations have NOT BEEN DONE YET.
- Some OW/trainer sprites have not been inserted yet.
- The hero and his younger brother's introduction sprites have not been inserted yet.
Professor Oak may get a new intro sprite.
- New item graphics have been replaced with a nice black question mark.
I'm still making item graphics for most things.
- Lastly, those lines that appear before the titlescreen appears are supposed to be there.
They are there because it is needed to conceal the original animation.
- The O in Oak's name in the introduction text changed to another letter. This happens WHEN I EDIT THE INTRO text. Since I am not completely done with the intro, his name will remain like that for now.
- IMPORTANT. Using the bike will turn you into the original hero with correct palattes. Zaquar's bike sprites are not completed YET. I left that in, cause I thought it was funny.
- This game is meant to be CHALLENGING.

This is an Extended Rom:
The link is being weird... for now.
but please use UPS Patcher.

Closing Words
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Alpha 1 was just a small self beta tested version of what I have made so far.
* Beta 1 will progress up to the third town of West Taejo, Silversky Town.
* Beta 2 will complete the continental land (excluding northeast) of Taejo.
* Beta 3 will complete the oceanic land of Taejo, Taejo League, and Post Taejo League.
Beta 4 Plus will contain Seijo and newly accessible areas of Taejo.
* Also when playing rom hacks, don't sneak peek through Advance Map
because it ruins your fun of the game and finding its secrets!
* The goal of my hack is to strive for simplicity, quality, and consistency.
It will emulate the unique style of what the Johto region presented in Pokémon
Crystal and in inclusion that it was my most memorable nostalgic region.
