FAQ

Spoiler:

Q: Will you be doing 3D?
A: No.
Q: Will you add shadows to the buildings?
A: Well there's a catch to doing so. Even though I added the new tile system, shadows are going to take a lot of space/time/work. It takes extra palettes (that I don't have), extra tiles (that I may use for other structures), and extra blocks (that I need for making the map). So if all of these inspections pass when I'm done mapping once and for all, I will add shadows. But now, it's just a wall in the road to progress.
Q: How about fake 3D?
A: Don't think so.
Q: When is the next update/release?

I'm a full-time student. Platinum Red & Blue are not my priorities, and when I do have free time, I don't always go straight to them. It has been a long time since I've been able to consistently make them, and that's why a few years have passed without any substantial work to show. However, I am on the Romhackers' chat if you want to contact me or the team. I post stuff there before here, and it's also nice to get to know people.

I'm a very busy person outside of Platinum Red & Blue, so please consider that. On another note, thanks for taking the time to check them out!

Yay GoGo it got accepted! Anyways it's really cool... why not put the screenshot of Barry and his big mugshot when he bumps into you? And like what type of stuff does Blue have that red doesn't? Is it like just side quests or more extra cool stuff?

 

[Zen-senpai]

Nice! Haven't seen a day/night music system yet in a GBA hack, that's really cool! :)

Good luck with your hack.

I did say that it isn't a demake, but it uses the characters and region. :D It includes sidequests and different stories.

Good luck with your hack.

I made a video about it a few months ago showing it off, but I didn't share who did it till now so he doesn't get bombarded with questions. I specifically said to not run to him ^_^

Yeah, that took a lot of research and work, especially not getting help :D

 

[esperance]

Well, it certainly has a nice list of features.

However, to be honest, the text palette and grass tiles look awful. Especially the grass, it's too undefined, and the palette is awkward.

On the other hand, 493 Pokemon is quite impressive, so good work.

The text and grass are things that aren't finished yet :D
Kinda procrastinating from fixing them. The grass is native FR grass using tree tile palette on a pixel filter, lel :)

Thanks, also looking forward to your Advance Song ;)

 

[Patrickz22]

cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, really bad :S
hahahahaha xD

All of the info you asked is in the thread lol
Don't worry, it will be completed ;)

 

[Le pug]

You should post a screenie of the textbox with the sprite in the corner ... I thought that looked nice {:3} about time you posted a thread! Good luck.

 

[ThePoTaterSalad]

I am very excited to try out these hacks! I have been waiting a while for a GBA hack that is very similar to the Generation 4 games, that I never played through completion. Although I look forward to it, I do have some concerns.

Usually, I am not one to knock somebody on the palette they choose, but this one does seem very plain and vibrant. Maybe I am misremembering how the original Platinum looked, but it does seem really bright.

Tile colours aside, this looks very fantastic and am interested in getting my hands on it as soon as I can.

Oh, the transparent mugshot. I'll include it in Platinum Blue since Pl didn't have those.

It's really bright due to DNS making day time yellowish, and night blueish. Kinda annoying, waiting for a new type of D/N system. The tiles are Platinum ripped, so they can't get more real than that, but buildings and such are more edited. Environment:Platinum, Man-made:redone.
Simple.

 

[PkmnTrainerElio]

This, I would give a 10/10, are you sure you're not using screenies from the real Platinum, because this bugger is a really well sprited and well tiled game, you could fool someone, with this. I'll be looking forward to a release.

 

[Yuuki_Asura]

Platinum on GBA?!?!? WOW Just Wow...No wait Interesting,Amazing & Inpressive Hack ^^

 

[Astraea]

Yo! NDS remake in GBA. I was always looking for a gba game for sinnoh region. Hope you complete it.

 

[Anrin Deo Avis]

Platinum for Gba Amazi....My Heart

 

[ShyRayq]

Wow, I was wondering when you were going to release this. Excellent job!
I'm sure that these will become one of the greater hacks on this forum, so keep it up!

 

[raghavendraxxx]

dont cancel it like other remakes pls finish it
