FireRed hack: Pokemon Garnet

[Alpha Bass]

This looks very interesting....definitally something that I would play for hours on end.

 

[flickso]

Brilliant love the idea cant wait to play it

 

[06s23]

This is looking brilliant!
i love seeing all the different rom hacks people come up with, especially when its not just :"ash, go get a starter pokemon from the professor, and beat the elite four and gym leaders". A very interesting plot. in the ice cave i think you could use a little more variation in the way of colour palette and scenery,but its up to you.
Anyways good luck.

I forgot to ask, do you automatically get a Sneasel?? Sorry I didn' do the other OWs, I've been real busy.

 

[Shaymew]

if that's the masked mans hideout i think it looks good. (design anyway i'm no good at technical stuff)

:O OMG THE MASKED MAN IS GOING TO BE IN THIS GAME?!?!

Spoiler:

I just hope claus doesnt kill himself through you this time

YAY FOR MOTHER 3 REFERENCES WHERE THEY DONT BELONG ^.^

Anyway this hack looks awesome!!!
Nice screen shots and story, and of course I like how you are doing manga references.
The only problem I have found with it so far is that in one screen shot it has Karen and will, but Karen was spelled with two R's

I am looking forward to this hack, and cannot wait till the first beta is released...

Hey thank you everyone for all of your support but I wanted to point out that the pictures will represent what's expected to be in the hack, but do not resemble the hack itself. Basically, I'm just too lazy to update the pictures, if you go back a few pages though, you'll see the new Mask of Ice HQ, which in my opinion looks a lot better, has been posted.

I wanted to note something about the tent system. The player will sadly not be able to place his/her own tent down in given areas, but instead you may see people camping out whether in a tent, around a fire, or just hitch hiking with a sleeping bag, that will invite you to have a rest and access their laptop giving you access to the PC. I thought this would be better and most of all, more realistic. Tell me what you think :D.

Another update, the Rival in the game will be Gold, obviously, but now he will be the person you name at the beginning of the game. I noted this just to avoid some confusion.

Another small detail is that the intro WILL be Professor Oak speaking, I'll have him say some stuff about how Red's the Battler,Gold's the Breeder, etc.

Let's see what else...oh yeah, after Garnet has been finished, (don't assume I'm anywhere even remotely close to it being finished) I will be making a similiar hack revolving around Green's story (Green's the guy who looks like Gary) taking place in Kanto and Johto. That hack won't be worried about until Garnet's completion, but I can tell you the name will be Pokemon: Covellite, consider it Garnet's sequel.

Now I'll answer a few questions...

Yes, the option to have your own trainer put into the game is now forbidden, so stop asking XD.

Yes, Blue will tell you that you left Sneasel and Horsea in the Training Wing of the Mask of Ice HQ and will give you them at the beginning of the game.

Sorry about the spelling errors on Karen*'s name, it will be corrected.

As I said before, the HQ has changed so don't worry about the Ice looking weird, because now it is non-existent.

Spoiler:

Finally, in regards to the Poll above, don't worry about the votes because Silver WILL be taking Totodile and there's no way around it. But don't fret! You can get a Charmander in Violet City so now you only have to worry about getting a Grass-Type. Note, you'll have to beat the first Gym before you can get the Charmander, which is Ironic because he has a Skarmory, so how do you plan to beat that with no Fire-Type?

I hope I've resolved most, if not all, of the confusion regarding this hack, but if there's anymore questions about it feel free to ask.

BUT because I just KNOW somebody's going to ask this, the first Alpha will go up to Violet City,as for it's release date, nobody can predict the future, so I'm not making any promises, but assume around the end of August.

 

[monkeyboi]

yes charmander is my favorite starter. Awsome to hear that you've made some serrious proggress and can't wait for the sequel.

Xatoku, I just thought about something. For Blue's overworld, why don't you use the heroine of Pokemon Leaf Grean and Fire Red? Considering her overworld and what not seems awfully like her. It is just a small suggestion considering we can't choose to be female.

Very good suggestion, the problem is that Blue wears a completely different outfit in the Manga, so it wouldn't be correct. But I've said this already, Blue's OW is already made, but I haven't updated the pictures.

 

[PhoenixMan]

So are you accepting anymore trainers?
i have a pretty good one

And i really love what your doing.
ive always wanted to play a game like this.

 

[Xatoku]

Hey thanks but sadly no, the trainer accepting has come to an end.

 

[PhoenixMan]

that sux, but its all good. =)
i figured i was a little late, lol

so does the game
follow the complete manga?

 

[Nof56]

Seet! I look foreword to it!

 

[Xatoku]

so does the game
follow the complete manga?

It follows the complete GSC Manga, but only Silver's side.

 

[Xatoku]

Alright this is getting annoying now, so anybody who posts or sends me a message asking to have their trainer put into the game will be ignored.

 

[Napalm]

Very interesting creation here... Looking forward to future updates. I think Totodile should the generic starter, but then again, not much choice there. Just do what you feel is good!

Ah I see. I haven't seen a post like that from you but either way, you do make a valued point that the overworld is totally different then the PokeSpe Blue.

 

[PhoenixMan]

Im looking forward to this game.
sounds very interesting.
and i agree that tododile should be the starter.
but maybe like yellow there should be a way to get others.

 

[Zhues]

Hey can I ask why my Sprite wasnt Accepted

 

[PhoenixMan]

and i was wondering if you still needed
a map for Goldenrod City. because ive been
working on one that you could use.
It may need a few tweaks to it still
but its mostly finished.

There is my Goldenrod City map.
and im also pretty good at spriting.
theres a tiny preview of some of my sprites.
