Crystal hack: Pokemon Black and White 3: Genesis (COMPLETE!)

[jastolze007]

I haven't played the game yet due to the new upcoming release not being compatible. But are abilities present in game? I didn't see them mentioned on the OP. If not, are you planning on adding them in eventually?

Your hack is so amazing regardless. It's legit my favorite Crystal hack, and I haven't even played it yet. Looking forward to its release!

Thanks! The current version won't have abilities, though after I finish this build, I'm planning a port to the Polished Crystal engine. This will include a lot of new features, including abilities, as well as things like a larger Pokedex, larger pool of available moves, Gen 3 style box system, HGSS style Pokedex menus, as well as other smaller things.

This won't be doable yet, since the folks at Polished Crystal are still working on adding some of these things to their own engine, so I'm working on finishing up this version in the meantime.

Do you have any new map updates? Loving the design so far! What's the last map you designed?

Hey, sorry for the delay, I always forget to update this thread since I'm usually browsing on my phone, but all the hack stuff is on my PC, lol.

Most recent maps have been the Dragonspiral Tower interiors.

A question would give us a clue as would be the new Badges

Here's the source image for all of the badges, there are only 2 that weren't in the previous Unova games.

From top to bottom:

Spoiler:

Wave Badge, Spooky Badge, Insect Badge, Toxic Badge, Garnish Badge, Basic Badge, Jet Badge, Legend Badge

Don't forget to keep this thread updated! ;)

Also, is there another place I can follow this hack? Would you consider making a discord for BW3?

Whoops, I forgot again...
Most recently, I've been scripting out some of the big climax cutscenes, and working on a big overhaul of the trainers to remove a lot of the Johto-style sprites/classes, and make it more Unova feeling.

I've also been working on mapping the last few areas, most recently the Victory Road entrance. It's not finished yet, but here's where I am so far.

That looks so amazing. Love what you've done with this!

The past few weeks, I've been working on an overhaul of the trainer classes. The goal is to replace the Johto specific classes with ones from Unova, and update the sprites for the classes that are shared to better fit with Unova's look. Here's the new trainer sprites I've been working on so far. A good bit of them are from JaceDeane's sprite sheet, which he's allowed me to use. Some were unfinished sprites from his sheet that I've edited further. Others are done by myself from scratch, and the 2 scientist sprites specifically are from Internet Goblin, who designed them for this hack.

Oh my goodness! These are all so awesome! :D

This is still in development so just stay tuned. I really want to play this in full once completed, though.

Yes, this game is still in development. Most recently, I've been working on overhauling the trainer classes to remove the Johto specific classes and add more of the ones from Unova. I posted some of the new trainer sprites last week, but I've made more since then. After the trainer update, I'll also be updating all of the trainer/npc text, so it's not a lot of copy/paste from Crystal anymore.

At the same time, I've been mapping out the last few overworld areas. Currently, I've been working on the entrance to Victory Road (I posted a work in progress pic a couple of weeks ago), and I'm now nearly done with that map.

I've been playing the demo for a while and I can only say, beautiful romhack. I'm not exaggerating when I say it looks better than several GBA ROM hacks. As I said before, this game is the dream I once had, but I could never fulfill because of limitations of the early romhacking era and I wasn't talented enough to do something like this.

I'm pretty eager to see this project completed. Keep it up!

Will Ingo and Emmet be in this game?

Thanks! I know the feeling, I first tried to get into ROM hacking back when there were only binary tools available, and never got anywhere. The pokecrystal disassembly has really made things so much easier!
