FireRed hack: [Hack of the Year 2010] Pokémon Sienna - Complete Version Released

[Logan]

​

I'm happy to see that this is still around since I left, and it looks like your still maintaining that very clean, professional look. But if I can ask, what really seperates this hack from all the others out there? (despite the fact this one is still posting regular updates) I mean, the story may sound a little different, but it's been tried so many times, evil team going around while some legendary stuff is going on in the background.

I'm just trying to provide a little constructive criticism, so don't take this so harshly, but is there some sort of real spark that you're planning to add into this hack? It would be really nice to see something extremely outlandish and original that just puts a hack above another, if you get where I'm coming from. Considering the professionalism of this hack already, I think it would be a real step up.

I don't want to do anything outlandish and original. Many and tried and failed with this style; with this game at its seventh gym it's already one of, if not the, most developed games in this style.

I'm not gonna lie, my hack isn't "original" or "unique" but it does what it says on the tin. It provides a whole new experience for a person to play through and if that isn't enough for you then so be it. All in all, I'm making this hack for something that I'd like to play not to cater to the whims of people who wish to be "unique" or "original" so if you don't want to play it that way that's your decision. I'm going to be playing this hack multiple times and that's all that matters to me.

Real spark? Have you actually played the game yet? Not trying to seem overly egotistical but I've received raving compliments on how good the gameplay is and how this game could be taken as an official one. Now, that may not be enough of a spark for some people; but, for me, it is.

Pretty nice sprites. They bug me on this black background though they look great.

Thanks.

Wow, those gym leaders sprite are very good. It would be better if there were no shadow but still very good.

Well, the shadows are just for show and aren't to be used in the actual game.

I gotta say that mapping I see on these screens isn't very good, nor logical!
I don't see the point in putting two paths the way they're put!
Also, what's the point in that rock outside of that house in the first screen? It's standing in the middle of the bricked path, wich doesn't make any sence! O.o

>implying Pokémon is logical. I always see six foot monsters with cannons on their backs running around, don't you?

Just putting it out there that two paths has been done by Nintendo (Saffron City) before and this style is in fact very eye-pleasing in my opinion. Also, have you ever heard of a road and pavement? The rock is no problem and not blocking anything. I can't see where you got "middle of the path" from; it's right at the edge, and most probably has an item or something.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to beta testing after school Harry, I'm sure it'll be awesome. n_n

Thanks.

Anyway, the beta is, in fact, finished in gameplay and storywise and is just getting tested ready for its release. For now, here's screenshots of the last event in the beta. Yep, the last event is, in fact, the battle with Sophie the seventh gym leader. Anybody care to guess what type she uses?

Yes, the gym is void of life except her and she explains why in-game. Enjoy!

 

[Poke_a_Dialga!]

Let me guess... are those Rhydon statues? So it's a ground or rock type gym!
So far no bad ^^
Wish you good luck and never give up!

Yes, they are. Anyways, thanks for answering my question and nice screens you've got there.

I have a question, though: Will the Gym Leaders get their own OW Sprites?

Hey, am new & Ive been stalking around this site for a while. want to say your hack is amazing, haven't got in to a pokémon game like this in a while. keep it up the great work :D

For Christ's sake, you guys, give him a break. You don't need to get so uptight just because he harbors a different opinion than you. Sure, he didn't phrase his criticism in the most effective manner but jeez, lighten up a bit.

As for the updates, I think they look nice. Unlike dragoniteuser, I think the "double-path" technique looks nice (not as good as Pearl City though :P). I personally think that it looks better when the "outer" path is more of a city floor, if you will. I do have to agree with dragoniteuser, however, that the rock next to that one house looks a little out of place. I think it's the fact that it's so close to the door of the house.

I like Sophie's sprite, though I think it might be a little hard to beat her with zero pokémon. ;)
Hopefully we'll get to see her Overworld sprite soon. Keep up the good work!

Pokémon Sienna Beta 3 release notes

That's right I'm releasing beta 3 after seven hard and long months working on it. This game is way more developed then before and will require you to restart your saves because of the sheer amount of re-done maps and new variables/flags used. Anyway, without further adieu let me get on to listing some things I haven't fixed.

Bugs

• Colt Forest's entrance image is messed up. It doesn't harm the game in any way it just looks weird.
• Not all fakemon icons have been changed.
• Fly is messed up. DON'T USE IT :).
• After catching a pokémon and stuff a bit of the battle background circle seeps into the screen.
  

Other notes

The end point of the beta is after you beat the seventh gym leader Sophie. This beta is located on the first post for downloading at your discretion. I hope you enjoy it! I've probably forgotten something else but I really can't remember if I have.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

I can't save my beta 3 game. How are the saving settings supposed to be?
Btw awesome hack! Gonna play the beat 3 through, and I will surely love every playing second

 

[monkeybard]

The leave area and talk to free potion guy to get infinite free potion thing is still present in my game. This was in the previous version too. And loving the Fakemon so far (I've seen what? 5 O: ) and the music is very much the love. I'll report more as I play on [still on first path pssssh]
EDIT: Allow me to elaborate as I just realised how incomprehensible I am. If you leave the area after getting the free potion on the first route, you can go back, talk to him, and get more. I abused this last beta and went through the forest fully stocked on [free] potions ohoho.

-♪

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

It's out?
I''ll definetely take some time to play it :P
And this time, hopefully, I'll finish the entire beta.

 

[Crimson Stardust]

Like the guy said before,just started this hack anyway,
i can get potion as many times as i want..
i don't noe whether this is suppose to be or not..lol
amd also when i catch folain,when it says give nickname,the image behind shws bit of the grass form the pokemon battle,i will show a pic when i see another.

edit heres the pic:
don't know if it suppose to be this way or not..lol

Spoiler:

Maybe i was just reporting something not important

 

[Logan]

I can't see your image so I don't know what it is. Mind uploading it somewhere else? Anyway, I've fixed the potion guy and I'll release a fix patch later on after I await other bug reports.

PS. That thing after catching stuff is already known from previous betas and I forgot to put it on the release notes.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Found out by myself what was wrong with the saving game thing.
Had a bug when I talked with the trainer number 3 in the 3rd gym. I talked with the trainer, and then a lot of symbols came onto the screen and the game froze. Will continue playing the game.
Another thing, is it possible to get a dawn stone to Murkrow in this beta version?

hahax,since you said that stuff is already know,i don't think i will upload it somewhere else..
anyway,this is my first time playing the beta so i don't really noe about past bug and also you did not put down, so i was not aware of it.

Edit:
Do you want me to put the other bugs/errors i found?I don't know if you already noe it and it was in the past beta also..

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

I can't save my beta 3 game. How are the saving settings supposed to be?
Btw awesome hack! Gonna play the beat 3 through, and I will surely love every playing second

All you have to do is to change the Save Settings from 64k to 128k and you'll be fine. There's another way to save - use savestates!

Press the Shift + F1 button to make a savestate.
To go back to the state, just press F1 again.

 

[Lugiaz Soul]

It's funny how the second trainer in the game says that her pokemon (which is male) can pack a great punch but when she sends out her Seedot, it's a female!
And this guys says, "Come here" when I'm already next to him!
And the guy in the Mart says "aren't" when it should be "isn't".
The light poles have some bugs!

 

[Tomackze]

I do not think I have been this excited in a while...

and also... may I ask where the tickets are in Richie's gym? I can't seem to find them at all

 

[chrunch]

Yay, the beta's out! :3
I hope there's Treecko in this beta, it took me hours to find it last time >:o
Anyways, here's the first bug I've found, I'll post more while I play the beta:

Movement permission error.

 

[Logan]

Thanks for all the bug reports, guys, I really appreciate it! I'll be releasing a bug fix at the end of today when I've got reports for later in the game too.

 

[canadian_idiot702]

I'm playing beta 3 and when ever I go through the nile city entrance to colt forest the game crashes and I get an error message rom-image crashed, is that known bug if so how to I proceed through the game?

edit: I'm playing on a no$gba emulator

 

[AimayBee]

I tried to use Focus Punch on the big tree and I became frozen on the spot.
Also... Something is bugging me about the female sprite... I think her walking ands running is a bit weird... But I can't figure out what's wrong with it...
