Pokemon: Nautical Requiem
Forward: The inspiration for this hack is the great 20th Century Horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Who wrote hundreds of short stories on Horror, most notably the stories about Cthulhu and the great old ones. This hack will contain some adult themes such as death, language, and some parts might actually scare some people, fairly rare for Pokemon Hacks being made in a professional way.
Hack of: Firered Story: You are the child of a legendary sailor who wrote many books about the sea and the evils lurking beneath. Some looked at your father as a madman, others looked at him as a person who only wanted attention, more tragically others looked at him and found inspiration. Your Father had always talked about these dark things with you, and your mother would always stop him in the middle out of fear that you would end up just like him. You live on the Island known as Virgo Island. One night, your father disappears, leaving you and your Mother alone in the world. Going into his study, you find a note stating that he has left the island on a journey to find the "old one". On his desk, you see a Pokeball that he left for you as a parting gift, which contains the Pokemon Horsea. When you go downstairs to tell your mother of this journey you're about to take, you both hear a crash upstairs and your Mother remarks that your Father's Journal is missing. After receiving a ticket for a boat, and receiving a farewell from your Mother, you ride the boat on its way to Orion Island, you find a missing page to your fathers Journal, which is then put into his journal, maybe someday you can find all of the pages and return them to his journal... Somewhere under the ocean, a large dark being crawls slowly at the bottom of an underwater trench... New Features: - New Scripts - New Darker Storyline - New Character Sprites - New set of 10 Islands - 5 Gym Leaders, but they are extremely hard, forcing people to get every chance at training they can get. - One New Legendary Pokemon ( Water/Dragon ) What I need: - Sprite for the New Legendary Pokemon - Backsprite for the Legendary Pokemon - Character Overworlds - Character Sprites - 1 - 2 Scripters Staff List: Virtual Chatot - Mapping, Scripting, Storyboard Megiddo - Scripting Furizaa - Beta testing Kebbles - Beta testing Scripter Wanted Spriter Wanted Credits: Aviator Maz - Legendary Spriter Jake - Overworlds Screenshots: Spoiler:

i like the dark storyline ... kinda reminds me of something =p ... sounds good tho im really interested to see what will come of it =) ... first post btw
|
Hmm good story but i think the starter should be a horsey with a kingdra evolution at lvl. 40.
Mantine is kinda weak if you see its stats on serebii. Sorry if i'm spamming. |
Quote:
Although Kingdra won't evolve at level 40, I have another idea for that |
???
what do you mean by ? Quote:

Maybe :classic: |
This game looks wicked so far. The story line is nice, i looked up "Cthulhu" and saw a picture, hopefully the new legendary looks like him, coz he looks awesome. I cant wait 2 see some screenies. Best of luck! |
Wow, the Storyline is AWESOME!
I hope this hack comes out soon! |
Cool story line. I'm a bit confused....What will happened when you complete the diary? Will you be able to find the location of the new legendary Pokémon? Well anyways, the story line is great. Can't wait to see some screens.
|
Wow....Just wow!
You are amazing VC! I think This looks very nice! I hope you keep the ideas flowing and STAY WITH IT!!! Lol Well anyway, BOL! |

Hope it all goes well bud! |
Thanks for clearing things up! This is very well planned. Good luck with this.
|
Since I joined this is one of the best hacks I've seen. I'm a great lover of mythology and dark storylines so I will definitely play this.
|

Right now i'm searching for some good trees and also making sure they can go in the Fog Weather Effect without looking horrid. -Edit- I've finished writing up the stats for the New Legendary |
This looks pretty nice man. It wil be awesome if like you said you find your father, a bearded half naked man crawling around like he has 'devolved' in some cave. Lol xD
|
I am pleased to announce Megiddo will be another scripter besides myself for NR.
The first screenshots to be released won't contain any Platlette Color Changes, they'll just show some of the added tiles. |
If your looking for a spriter for the legendary, I'm available.
|
I've found a pretty good tree tile that I like, and it works with the Fog Effect without looking bad.
I'll have some screenshots up soon -3- |
Cool, I can't wait to see them.
|
wow VC.. lovecraft huh? interesting.... sounds quite cool
this is deffinatly one of the better hacks i've even heard about. Unique basis for adventure (finding father) darker theme off the bat, this is one worth watching out for, deffinatly a classic in the making :) |
Hmm, sounds like you've got something interesting going on here. I've been longing for a pokemon story that isn't as happy and innocent as all of the others (Johto was about as dark as it got), and will be quite interested in how things go on. I wish there was a way I could help you out here, but my scriptng isn't as strong as I want it to be.
|
Quote:
I'm changing the platelettes right now, and The "Old One" Has been successfully inserted in the game. I'm inserting its base stats and attacks right now. |
epic.... old one..in game... oh boi!
any pics of teh sprite would ruin surprise though lol ;) cant wait my friend! |
This is going to be great, I can feel it. Can't wait to see some screen shots.
|
since the story revolves around the disapearence of you father .... how r u going to add the elite 4 in...or r u removing it.. or maybe the elite 4 and your dad r hooked up sum how???
|
Quote:
All I have to do is edit the trainer card to only hold 5 badges. Why would I take out the E4 in the first place? Screenshots are on my other computers folks, I'll upload them later! |
Cool, hope they are really good!
|
I finally got around to forcing myself to take some screenshots
New Screenshots: http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9959/25607029ih1.pnghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/222/68007171pr4.png http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2435/83879838lf9.pnghttp://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7608/75848188wc0.png http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/1874/1635pokemonfireredusquivk1.png Enjoy! Asking a mod to move this to the Hack's Showcase |
Looks nice, it looks very nice.
|
Blazikenbud will be changing the Pallete and tiles around, so it won't resemble FM's DP Rombase as much.
Just a little bit of info, that area outside is only your house area, the rest of the island/town is to the east. |
You think it looks like the D/P base? I don't really think so. It looks more like the R/S base with a twist.
|
It is the DP Rombase made by Forgotten Memory
|
it looks really good so far vc. loving every morsel of the screenies.
where did u find that rombase? on wah? I'm just curious here...for my own hacks sake, nt shure what to do bout graphics is all.... anyway... can't wait for more updates |
Oh lol, my bad. Well It looks good anyways.
|
this sounds awesome i will play it to death!!! lol i'll have lvl 100's by the second town trying to unearth things :p *darkfurby is crazy* fully support it... u want a support banner? i can make one.... but ill be a few days i have school.... damn school....
|
Well, by the end of the game you'll have to.
The first gym leader will have Pokemon in the Low 30's xD I want this game to be hard, no cutting corners in this hack <_< Some Support banners would be nice though :3 ( The banner on the first post contains a silhouette image of the Old one ) |
Yes. That's my style of training. I battle every single trainer with my starter and train my others against wild pokemon until they are around or equal to my starter's level.

Just a tiny notice, my new name is Heatran, Lest there be any confusion.
|
I got confused at first. I saw a strange user in control of this hack. Nice to know its the same person.
|
The new screenies look nice, just the tile error with the double story house, but of course you already know that and your going to fix it lol. We are using the same rom base :D It looks the exact same as mine so I'm guessing you have the Premium one? I can insert D/P Pokemon for you if you like? Best of luck buddy. |
Quote:
I'm getting Blazikenbud to change some tiles and colors, so it won't look the same as your game :3 ( and yes, I know about the house, I was just to lazy to fix it ) Not that much progress today, I've started on another hacking project. I won't stop this one though :3 |
This story looks amazing cant wait for the release
And im not liking the idea of having horsea as your starter, you should have Larvitar or Elekid or Beldum |
Quote:
It will only include the beginning of the story, and half of the starting island. |
How big is the starting island?
|
Quote:
Well the Main Town is about the size of Viridian, and includes a beach. The Area with your house is about the size of Route 1 The Forest ( Spoiler ) is the size of Pewter. |
Quote:
|
Well Elekid can beat a water type
A tyranitar can learn water type moves A beldum is useless So im saying a horsea isnt all great you cant have a kingdra on this for one You should start with Chinchou or a Poliwag and that would be cool |
Quote:

Quote:
|
wow, this is definitely gonna be played by me when the beta comes out!
good job! |
Oh then thats cool Heatran i thought u cant get kingdra now im excited
|
Hmmm, very nice story line. Can't wait for the first release....
|
Cool! But how will it scare people?
Can't wait for this game to come out! |
The storyline is very well done. Good job on writing it!
And the palletes flow well together. The only thing that I'm disappointed about is the lack of well...stuff. I'm not sure how to word it...you left me wondering a lot about the hack. Just hoping you post a bit more information or screenshots or somethings... :) Ciao~ |
Exciting storyline! I'm looking forward to see progress on this hack. But Horsea as a starter?! Wouldn't it be better with a Pokemon that evolves by level or by a Stone?
|
As a big fan of Lovecraft, I'll be really looking foward towards this. What Lovecraft stories inspired you to write the plot/hack?
It sounds...well, attractive (is all I can say)! It's just a matter of wanting to die to play. And I simply can't wait (gosh, already?). :D |
i like this hack. original and sinister. i realy love a game with a good storyline, it just makes everything worthwhile. like KOTOR or sumfin
Ps maybe if ppl arnt happy with horsea you could have some other starters to find later in the game. like what happened with yellow or sumfin, where you get charmader, squirtle and bulbthingy later. maybe you find another of your father's pokemon while you're folliwing his tracks. just a thought... |
I can feel the force is in this one hahahahahaha........ha I can feel it
|
Quote:
--- I'll put a poll up for the Starter Pokemon, since so many people are complaining about it :/ |
Can I be a beta tester? Also, a suggestion for a starter is an Eevee that can change forms at will!
|
Quote:

|
Quote:
It has? Wow... never knew that. But could I be a beta tester |
Some suggestions for starters: Azurill - Evolves 2 times, just make him abit stringer using PEP and change attacks. Spheal - Meh? I think you wanted a Water starter so thats all I can think of. I like the Poliwag idea, cause you pick to evolve to either Poliwrath or Politoad. |
Sure xD
The Pre-Beta will only get as far as you getting the first Journal page, about 30 minutes of playtime |
Okay, Mister Heatran! XD
When will the pre Beta come out? |
Do you think I could be assistant beta-tester? I wanna be involved with this hack and you can do everything I can do, so I might aswell help the only way I can lol. |
Quote:
I'll add the two of you into the first post, and as for a Pre-Beta...Maybe 3 weeks? I'll post a Userbar, too http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/4374/24916527vi5.png I'll try and have some screenshots of the main town up by next week. You can blame the slow progress on the fact that I have some social obligations that I need to fulfill ( Girlfriend, friends, ect ). |
Evil story line :)
Okay screenies :) Pokemon hack :) This hack sounds cool. The old one....hmmmmm.... Anyway this hack is looking..... Super awesome. |
Can't belive I didn't see this.
It looks awesome! Good job! |
You should use a less conventional Pokémon. Poliwag and Horsea are sort of generic in a way. I would use either Staryu or Corphish. Note that these Pokémon all bear three things in common: Water-type, two-stage evolution and they all gain a second type. I would personally choose these two for their stats, which are comparable with ON starters.
|
i would put a support banner up but
i dont know how |
Heattran your screenies are good but you need to change the tiles because the top part of the house has grass on it.
And people are going to have a lot of trouble on the water starter thing. My best bet would probably be on corphish krabby and maybe carvhana. |
Quote:
I really don't know why people have such a problem with Horsea as the starter. So far 19 people have voted for it, so that's what I'm going to go for. |
Yeh guys, what's wrong with Horsea? Personally, Heatran, I think Horsea is the best choice of starters I have seen so far. I like Horsea, and why don't you guys?
Anyway, Looks very nice man! BOL! |
Horsea makes for an excellent starter. Stick with it Heatran.
|
Just to say, I wasn't even thinking about changing the starter. I was really just confused why the heck people didn't want it...
Kingdra, ftw |
Horsea makes sense to me. I couldn't see Poliwag because I picture it more as a pokemon found in lakes and rivers, not near the sea. Stick with Horsea, okay? ;)
|
Well i thought either carvhana or horsea but horsea is definitely a better starter.
I just like carvhana more because sharpedo is stronger than kingdra. you can even see it on serebii. but its your game and i'm not helping with anything so do whatever you want. |
Horsea just works, it has a three way evolution after all.
I didn't do much today, the Old One's data ( Attacks, Stats, ect ) was finished today. All your Father's Journal entries were completed as well. |
cool.
I'm going to get a banner when there are more banners. And if i may suggest,you should make a banner with kingdra or its minisprite on the side |
Eh, I'll probably get around to doing it when I get bored with Hacking
|
Okay as kebbles said on another thread(hey that rhymed.sweet!):Best of luck!
|
Though visually speaking there's still a lot to be done till it starts to look interesting to me, at least you have a nice storyline thought. Keep working on it.
Wasn't it obvious that Horsea would win? >o< |
Quote:
Sorry for the lack of updates, I've haven't worked on the Hack all week due to the fact that I've been having alot of homework. |
Yeah, I am going to be needing some help :P
|
Not in the story department, apparently. The storyline is captivating. Dark secrets, ancient evil (that's actually scary-sounding), mystery galore. With nice dark palettes, things can look just as interesting as they sound. As of right now, the hack's name itself is absolutely striking. :)
|
So heatran the deal is sealed.
It will be horsea as the starter. And the storyline just makes you want to read more of the story. And how did you get the name nautical requiem? Its an odd name for a hack but i've seen stranger. Anyways good luck and can you post updates when you can? Don't rush and take your time w/ the game because rushing makes a lot of glitches. I like the palletes because the grass palletes are dark shade of green where in the real FR/LG the grass palletes are too bright. Anyways Horsea FTW and bye! |
Yeah it was always going to be the starter, I would have rigged the poll one way or another :P
|
i think the starter should be a rare Sinoh pokemon
|

|
hope you can add electivire and magmortar in your hack :D gudluck to ur hack and more power :D
|
Quote:
|
Heatran, I don't have a problem with Horsea as a starter, but what is the planned method to evolve Seadra?
Also will Cyndaquil be obtainable early or in the middle of the game? |
That Storyline makes me shudder. Anyways, I love the Pallets, so cool:D
|
Heatran, what scripting language is it? If I can do it, I will.

I've planned the Johto starters to be availible after you've beated the E4. Quote:
