Emerald hack: Pokémon Orion Version (Beta 1 Released)

[Danny0317]

Pokémon Orion Version, an Emerald hack

Introduction​

Hey guys, I'm Dark Sneasel, you guys may know me from my other hack Pokémon Fluorite, which I'm taking a break from, but if you don't, here it goes!
I'm a 14-year old (almost 15!), and I've been hacking since the summer of 2013, but I'd say that I became "good" in the summer of 2014. Anyways, here's my second hack, which at first I thought was just going to be a side hack, but is becoming a lot more! It's a hack of Pokémon Emerald, which is my favorite Pokémon game. It's called Pokémon Orion Version (the story will involve Jirachi. Jirachi is the "Wish Pokémon," people wish upon a star, and well, Orion is a constellation with a cool name.)
But anyways, into more important things...

Story​

I would like to start off by saying that it is still being worked on, but here are the basics of it!
One day, in the region of Senra (thanks Tyranitar50 for the name ;) or was it Tcoppy?) a young trainer wakes up, like every other day. After (s)he heads downstairs, and is about to go outside, his/her mom tell him/her that his/her friends are waiting outside, ready to battle him/her, and then heals the player's party. When the player goes outside, his/her friends, Jonathan and Kiara, are waiting for the player to battle, and they do. His/her friends eventually leave, after telling the player that they're gonna go on a quest to beat all the gym leaders in the region, and that the player should too. The player looks around a little in his/her hometown of Greenleaf Town, only to see some scientists having trouble calming down some Zigzagoons, and then the player goes and tells Professor Acacia, the professor of the Senra region, which catches the Zigzagoon, and eventually gives the player and his/her friends a Pokédex and some Pokéballs. The player then goes on a journey, like his/her friends suggested..
Now, that's just the intro, and what I have so far, but if you want some of dem spoilers, and stuff that is to come, go ahead, and click the spoiler.

Spoiler:

So, as for the evil team that is necessary for every hack, here it is..
The team, which I have no name for yet, will at first just start out as a group of thugs, whose motives are unclear, but eventually the player notices that they have a strong distaste for society, because it apparently treats them like trash. Eventually, they grow bigger, and their leader, a power-hungry narcissist, recruits more and more people to help him with his evil plans. As their first major mission, they choose to destroy one town in the region: Greenleaf. The player, his/her friends, and the professor fight back, but ultimately, fail. The player and his/her friends, furious, decide to join an organization whose sole purpose is to fight against the evil team. There's also rumors of Jirachi being awoken, which is a rare occurrence, which leaves many people, including the organization the player joined, and the evil team, looking for it.
What will happen next?

Region

That is the region of Senra, where Pokémon Orion will take place!

If you quit Fluorite because of this, I swear I'll ... um ... uhhh ... do something!
:D

Anyway, nice screenies :D

Well I wouldn't call the hack "poorly-made" at all. In fact it looks pretty nice. It seems to have good grammer (which is actually pretty huge in my book :P) and it looks like you've thrown in a couple of jokes into the hack. Also I like your world map. It looks clean and not super cluttered with a bunch of towns in one area if you know what I mean. My only question to you is when do we choose our Pokemon? In your story you say we wake up, our mom does what a mom does, and then we go outside and are thrown into a rival battle and I'm confused as to when we actually get our starter.

 

[Sniper]

I'm confuse as well. Hope you put in good and balanced starters. So what good features will you add in your hack? As of now, I rarely see people who hack with R/S/E. Good taste. Well, obviously you'll add more in your post so hope to see more once I look into your hack again and good luck as well! c:

 

[Raiimeister]

So your taking a break on fluorite. well another sweet hack expecting from you. i like Jirachi being a part of the story. this will turn out great, good luck on this :)

 

[Ocular Stratus]

I have a bit of a bias against good hacker carrying multiple active projects because of LaZ. I will keep this hack in my sights but will remain hesitant.

 

[Danny0317]

Well, turns out that there was a hack with that name already, so I went ahead and changed it. Here's the titlescreen in action!

Thanks Nex, for helping me out with fixing the N!

Now, I'll answer some things here :)

Well, not to sound like a dick or anything, but I said the thread was poorly made, but thanks, haha.. XD As or the starters, it's explained in the hack, but you were a trainer already, and the Professor had given you Charmander and Treecko (because, tropical Pokémon).

I'm confuse as well. Hope you put in good and balanced starters. So what good features will you add in your hack? As of now, I rarely see people who hack with R/S/E. Good taste.

Thank you, but as of the features, I'm not too sure yet, I know it's gonna have decapitalization (thanks Le Pug!), PS split, and more things I'll eventually remember, haha.

I see why you'd be saying that, and I don't blame you.. (Laz is gonna make a comeback, btw)

Now, even though it's in the other thread, I have made some Fluorite progress, (past the fifth gym) but I'm not sure if I wanna release it yet, but if you guys want it, just send me a PM.

Why not Pokemon Oreo Version? xD

You're funny as always, Nex. xD

 

[Jukai]

I'm kinda interested in the screen with the Scientists and Zigzagoon.. I'll check up on this. :D

 

[Danny0317]

So, uh I got this done today.



Treecko won't always show, it'll be the first Pokémon in your party, and the music won't change so suddenly, it will fade. (Also, the aqua logo will be changed)

 

[Fun Size]

Shouldn't it be "Off to Forlorn Woods!"? Also sorry about misreading the OP, I was reading it at around 3 A.M. my time and I must have been woozy or something.

I'll help out if you need another tester :)

 

[Benedict87]

Awesome! Can't wait to test this game!!!

Dunno if you want to take suggestions for the evil team name, but I just want to throw out "Apollo". My reasoning would be the myth of Orion and Artemis. In one version, it was Apollo who schemed to kill Orion, so I thought that this was fitting.
