FireRed hack: Pokemon Colosseum (for GBA)

[Varion Bluefire]

Keep it like that.
Seems better than deciding wqhere to go on a screen.

Saturnus is right you need work on map :)

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Do you all suggest I add custom tiles?

You don't necessarily need that. Yea, they might give the hack better graphic look but you can also make great maps with default tiles.
The most important thing is fixing all tile errors so your maps won't look amateur.

Best hacks ever? Sorry to disappoint you, but this is my first hack ever, it may be a good idea, but expectations need to be tempered a little XD .

@Varion: How would you propose having a field map anyways? Right now towns are connected by routes as is standard.

Couldn't you manipulate the Fly routine so that it's usable without a HM and accessibly by leaving one of the cities? That's my idea, good luck with actually implementing it. xD

It's not the first Colosseum remake I've seen, but props for having a go at it for your first hack. :) As mentioned, the maps nee d to be improved a little so I'd recommend reading up on some tutorials and looking at pre-existing maps. Best of luck to you! :D

I had recently looked at that when people said my maps sucked, didn't realize that was yours. Its great so far, if I have any questions can I give you a shout? Thanks for both the links!

No problem and yes if you need any help just send me a PM and I'll be glad to help.

 

[Mikazuki]

Great idea! Will definately play if you make some progress. Looking forward to watching the progression of your creation!

Work on the maps is reqired! Good Idea and story! and the hiker in pokemon centre screenshots looks like he is eating the table! Mapping is Terrible! Good Game

Hikers need to provide themselves with nutritious.

Mapping is Terrible! Good Game

Hm... These two statements do not go well together...

 

[BobTheImam]

I have improved the mapping a lot. Will get new screen shots probably by Wednesday.

 

[Coca-Cola]

I think you can never finish this hack. It's too hard to make this hack. Because the Shadow Pokémon, the 3D style in GBA style... But i wish you good luck, and when a bèta version is released, i will play it.


Sorry for my bad english

 

[FrozenInfernoZX]

I like the improvements. It's getting better.

Updated the screenshots again. Shadow starters are up, and new Phenac city screenies as well. Having a friend work on the catching other trainers pokemon, so we can actually nab ourselves a starter. Over Christmas holiday I will be working tirelessly on the game, expect a new city completed as well as a lot of the game mechanics done as well.

 

[Teh Blazer]

The mapping (like Phenac City) still isn't quite up to par, but you're showing progress. The shadow starters seem kinda iffy (they're just the regular Pokemon with a blue-ish outline :/) but I'm sure the hack will improve as time goes by.

Which would you all prefer for the shadow starters.
This

Or This

I think the second look better but I don't like the shadow color try change it to dark~ish purple

The shadow itself doesn't blend with the Pokemon :/ It looks awful, tbh.
I suggest you change the color and texture of the Pokemon too. So it
would blend somehow. Because light color to a dark color is a no go.

Tbh you should try to recolor Pokemon into their shadow forms instead of a dark outline. Gamer2020 has a good version of what I mean in his signature with a shadow Makuhita.

Morning,

I'm trying to start hacking too and I like the idea. Got Colosseum in my house and the needs for gba-hacking (advance-map, advancetext). I'd like to help, though I'm not the perfect partner either (short on time as well, litle experience, pretty old experience as well). I was just wondering if you're gonna add a park as well to catch or train other pokemon, or just snatching pokemon and training them in collosea? Looking forward to hear from you more! :)

 

[BobTheImam]

Will be adding pokespots at the end of the game like in XD:Gale of Darkness. The primary catching will be in snagging, however.
