FireRed hack: Pokemon Zircon - Birth of an Era

[Flandre Scarlet]

Introduction

Hello to all the people out there.
I'm Henry/KakerZone Y, and I've been hacking for a few years now.
This hack is just a re-do of my old hack, Pokemon Zircon, in a whole new region and D/P Pokemon.
I hope you like it!

Story

Spoiler:

You're a young child, and one morning you were looking out of your window and saw kids playing with POKEMON. You thought to yourself "Why don't I have a POKEMON?"

At night, you saw a ad on the television. "We are giving away free POKEMON from the JOGO POKELAB! There is HORSEA, GROWLITHE and MAGBY! You sent the JOGO POKELAB an email with your address, and requesting for a GROWLITHE.

The next morning, a package came in the mail. It was from the JOGO POKELAB INC. Your mum opened it for you, and read the letter.

Dear [name], Thank you for mailing me. It seems like you are a very keen trainer. Inside this POKEBALL, is the POKEMON you chose. Which is a GROWLITHE. I would also like to meet you. Come to the POKELAB in JOGO CITY. Just walk right inside and go to your left. That's my office! I hope to see you soon. From, PROF. KAO. It also came with your requested POKEMON, GROWLITHE.

You were very excited! You said your goodbyes to your mother and brother, and off you went, on your POKEMON adventure, meeting new friends and rivals, Gym Leaders and evil organizations, and the Elite Four. You'll love this version of Zircon!

I don't want to bug you,but theres already a pokemon hack called pokemon Zirco,and a 'n' in the end of the word doesnt make the difference.Please change it.

It looks very good.

 

[Flandre Scarlet]

Hmmm.. actually they stole that name off my old hack.

EDIT: New Screenshots. These include: New bedroom with some new tiles and new downstairs.

i think i just felt pain equivilant to a knife going into my heart with the kyledove tiles (i think they're way too overused) but other than that it should be good :)

I totally agree with you. Kyledove tiles are way too used. But your mapping KakerZone its pretty good. I haven't yet hear the new music that you included but i think it must be pretty good. The only think that i don't like are the tiles as i said before but okay. Good Luck!

Looks nice Kaker
I am also disappointed that you went with Kyledove tiles.
But none the less, I support you.
Good luck!

 

[Chimchar 9]

Wow this look's really good!
As people are saying that them tiles are overused, why don't you do what "~Arcade Star~" did, like start off with the rombase, then add awesome tiles & palettes.;)
Anyway i wish you the best of luck!:)

 

[Curt_09]

This hack looks nice. I don't think the tilesets are too overused at all. While I see a lot of hacks boasting them, I personally have never played one that used one (although I haven't looked around for one all that hard...)
Interesting start to the story, hope it progresses well.

 

[Flandre Scarlet]

Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate it. :)

Screenshot time! These include: WesleyFG tiles and the new Jogo City.

Thank you!

 

[Logan]

Well I like the new pallets! But the grass is a bit of an eyesore xD

Spoiler:

I don't see any of your hacks named Zirco,and i don't think they stole it.

 

[Logan]

That's because he didn't post it on PC. And Zircon has more of a chance then Zirco so Henry you should keep the title xD

 

[~Teh Panda~]

I don't see any of your hacks named Zirco,and i don't think they stole it.

He has had this name for quite a long time, just not posted a thread.

 

[emokitty]
