    Hack Name
    Pokémon Underground

    Hack of
    Pokémon Ruby


    Introduction
    Hello there! I'm MechaJoseph, and after a long break of inactivity on PC, I decided, "What the heck?" And I decided to start a hack. For the first time in.... awhile.

    THis is more ofa Me getting back into the groove of things, than an actual game, but who knows? Let's just watch what develops!

    Story
    It's 20 years after Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, and Houenn Is... divided. There were catastrophes. Total Towns were abandonned, and areas were blocked off.

    And then, 'they' came. The region was turned into nothingness, and the citizens became uneasy of each other.

    They say the leader of 'them' is hidden on a place called "Corruption Isle".

    Who are 'they'? And what exactly IS this, Corruption isle? It's time to brush off the Pokéballs, and find some answers!

    Features

    * New Pokemon
    * New Maps
    * 35 new "Glitch" Pokemon, including... Nah, you can wait...
    * A new storyline.
    * A New Girl/Boy Trainer, but isn't that the standard nowadays?


    Team

    * Mapper: Mechajoseph/Aaron
    * Scripter: Mechajoseph
    * Hex Editor: Aaron?

    Current Releases

    There are none. I plan to have at least a beta by 7/7/07, but i'm not to promise anything.

    Please tell me your thoughts, as I'm not sure if I'm going in the right direction or not...

    The tone of the game seems rather ... apocalyptic (well obviously). Well, from looking at the screens, the place looks rather 'empty'...mayeb perhaps adding a few more things. but to keep to the feel of the hack have ruined buildings, cut-down trees etc. Other than that, the plot will be worth trying out. ;) However, 'glitch' Pokemon...I hate 'glitches'...

    Hope that your hack is genuine - meaning that you altered everything other than the overworld map and the what the people say.

    The game it self has a good plot but i dont like the emptiness in the maps but you can fix that.

    35 glitch pokemon, is there enough room? Are you removing some other pokemon?

    So many questions... All in all doesnt look that bad. Good luck mate!

    Well, it seems geniune enough I guess...but most definately it will be worth trying...but if Mechajoseph will take that long (and if he contineus to hack the hack), then the end result maybe good after all...! :D

    Umm...am I the only one that thinks it's odd that he chose 7/7/07? I mean, all three days...if it was 6/6/06. that would make the game twice as eerie as it looks now.

    I like dwelling on things like 7/7/07, that's a part. ANother, is I'm grounded for a while, so I have very limited time on here.

    Anyway, I know everything's vwery empty, I recently started, I'm changing the order you go to the cities, and everything. Yes, I am replacing older pokemon to make room for the "Glitches" and a few made by aaron.

    Anyway, expect more screens when aaron finishes Route 102.

    Current Finished: Littleroot-Route103-Dash City-Petalburg-Route102-Rustborro-Verdanturf.

    You take underground Paths to get from place to place, you have to surf, or cut down trees to progress further. More on the form of the game later.

    An underground system...interesting...maybe you could create 'underground' communities in you hack. It works out really.

    I presume you're learning things along the way, jah? Well the screens are okay, but still rather empty. However, you still have a long way to go until you finish this right, so I guess anything can happen. Good luck with the hack, and don't give up. Do take your time and try to make the screens 'less-empty'. ;)

    I am sorry, if I act a little harsh, but it looks a little plain. Great hacks do start from humble beginnings, though, so I guess I can bear with it :P

    On the picture of this should look familiar, there's a bad tile in there. I'll post the bad tile later, because I'm so lazy :P

    Anyways, this hack is looking promising, besides the obvious tileset needs to be improved and add more detail, all that stuff. Just don't quit on it, and don't go overboard. Those are the last things you may think of now, but you'll probably go through those situations later. :P

    Hahaha, 777~ Sounds like that winning number used in those Pokemon Rocket Casinos.

    But why put it in Hoenn? A new region may be more suitable.

    And good grammar counts in hacks :D

    Well, I wish you good luck in your hack, and good fortune upon your hacking skills.
