BerserkPaladin April 30th, 2008 7:47 AM

BerserkPaladin presents... a Pokemon hack of massive proportions, new lands, new trainers, (almost) new leaders, new everything!

BIO:
I do have experience in hacking ROMs and I also have a hack up and running called Mario World X- Bowsers revenge! but It seems that the community and I have lost interest in it (for now), so I will attempt to hack Pokemon once more.

Now introducing a hack of FireRed
Welcome to the official Scrapbook Thread for...

http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/1981/pokemondarklightversionrr3.png
(name will probably change if poll results show it)

Story:
It is said in a prophecy that Lord Lucian, himself, shall climb the highest mountain with his companions and slay the creatures who defaced the beloved lands he once helped shaped. "If you wish to slay me, go ahead, but it won't be my fault when your lands fall apart!" So using the combined forces of all of his companions, they created a sacred seal, powerful enough to withstand the unholy forces of Lord Lucian's twisted twin sister, who's name is not known. If the seal is broken then all hell will break lose and the lands shall be under the darkest lord.

Intro (GamePlay):
Pokemon DarkLight takes you to the large land mass above THOJO Falls. Welcome to the THOJO region. In the town known as REEDCROSS, you are living with your 18 year old sister as your parents both passed away in a tragic accident while transporting some things from OLIVINE PORT to REEDCROSS TOWN. The local Professor is seen roaming around the ROUTE just a bit north of town, but one day you get a call to meet him at his lab, you go to his lab, but only to find your rival is waiting too. He says that DAD went out to do some more research. So you make a risky move, you start to head out to the route to the north of the town. Then out of nowhere, here comes Prof. Oak (It is a completely different generation) saying that he totally forgot about you and your Best Friends Pokemon. So he leads you to his lab. You enter and notice that there is 1 Pokeball on the desk, It contains a houndour that belonged to your Dad before he passed away. You take it and your RIVAL see's one on the floor below, so he takes that one. So you fight each other and head out to start your adventure.

You reach the next town and look around, you decide to get some supplies and the person at the counter asks you if you could deliver a package to Prof. Oak. You accept it (by force) and walk back home. When you get back and you deliver the heavy package, the Professor's face has an evil look on it, like he could be plotting something. But just as he gives something to you in return, your rival appears asking why he needed you. then he hides the package gives both you and your rival a package and tells you to go now.
But there is more to the story than just this.

It may seem to sound like the original game, but it isn't.

I am a pretty decent mapper/spriter, but I do need assistance in creating scripts, music editing, OW map and title screen changing. If anyone is willing to offer their assistance please either post here or PM. Then I will give you my MSN so we can discuss a few more things.

Features:
-New Hero/Heroine
-New Rival
-New "Fakemon's" and Evo's and pre-evo's of some 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Pokemon!
-New Palettes
-Trainers
-Some Pokemon will have a 4th evolution line. But this form of evolution is different.

PRE ALPHA RELEASE

New Pokemon and their descriptions (Some may not be placed in, It is just a list)

Spoiler:
O.Charziard
When Charziards power level goes past max, it evolves into it's O. State. It's rough skin and massive body makes it a hard foe to fight.

O.Blastoise
When a Blastoise's power level goes past max, it evolves into it's O. State. It's huge cannons make it a slow, but powerful water type.

O.Venusaur
When a Venusaur power level goes past max, it evolves into it's O. State. The Pokemon's power raises so high that it becomes part fire type.

O.Typhlosion
When a Typhlosion engulfs itself in extreme heat for a long period of time it reaches it's O. State. This state is still under investigation.

O.Meganium
When a Meganium engulfs itself in a thick coat of it's own vines for a long period of time it reaches it's O. State. This state is still under investigation.

O.Feralagator
When a Feralagator stays in sub-zero temp's for a long period of time, it reaches it's O. State. In this state it becomes part Ice as it's blood is brozen.

O.Blaziken
When a Blaziken is badly damaged, but enraged, it activates it's O. gene. In this form, it's speed is so high that no one could see it.

O.Swampert
When a Swampert is badly damaged, but enraged, it activates it's O. gene. In this form, it turns into the Ice/Rock type due to the frozen remains of it's blood.

O.Sceptile
When a Sceptile is on fire, it usually activates the O. Gene. In this form, It becomes the fire type as the Sceptile was burned badly from the fire.

O. Raichu
Struck by lightning somehow triggered the non-existent gene found in a Raichu. This form is dangerous to a trainer as it continues to discharge high voltage electricity.

Houndar->Houndour->Houndoom->O.Houndoom

Houndar
Houndar are usually weak and rely on a heat source to keep alive, It can't do much unless it was bred by a trainer.

O.Houndoom
The non-existant O. Gene in Houndoom is activated when in a place of Unholiness and heat. It is said to bear the powers of the Tri Demons.

Sandcrush is the evolved form of Sandslash. It uses it's massive claws to attack it's prey.

Demios (Form 1)
http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6825/demioslx9.png(Only a rough scratched version of Demios for the title screen).
Demios is the mythical demon of the otherworld. It caused chaos years ago by releasing powers of darkness to the land.

Demios (Form 2)-item
When enraged, Demios releases a massive amount of dark energy that it's O. Gene activates. This form represents the ancient Pokemon "Groudon".

Ladyli (Form 1)
Ladyli is the otherworld lord of light. Her peaceful ways shines pure energy to all who need it. It saved people from disasters created by Demios.

Ladyli (Form 2)-item
When Ladyli stores a massive amount of light energy, it's O. Gene activates. In this form it represents Kyogre, the ancient pokemon.

Lucian (Form 2)-item

Changes:
Added male sprite. still need to fix the bag but that's alright for now.
I changed the green hp bar to a blue hp bar! I thought it would be good for a blue one, not the boring old green one.

Banners:
Thanks to yunghove for the banner!

Aquila April 30th, 2008 9:00 AM

Can't you put in a crazy plot or somehthing.. Would make the story much more interesting.. else it's a decent begining

simplynaruto April 30th, 2008 12:05 PM

first of all: There is a tohjo region?! I thought it was the name of the waterfalls and thats it. I mean if there was it would be loooong strip of land and thats it. The tohjo region would be north in the middle not inbetween.

BerserkPaladin May 2nd, 2008 12:26 AM

Yes THOJO was the waterfall that divided the Kanto Region and the Jhoto Region. and no it ain't going to be a skinny map. It is going to be different.

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 12:33 AM

Well it would be above both regions right? Cause there is no land between the 2. Also I would leave a hack like this alone. If nintendo make a 5th region it would be tohjo. So you know the pokemon might be copied by nintendo if there desperate.

BerserkPaladin May 2nd, 2008 12:38 AM

lol nintendo won't be that desperate to steal from me. and also the hack isn't copyrighted by me so technically if Nintendo makes a 5th region and they use thojo as a name... I don't care as long as my hack is different from their game.

simplynaruto May 2nd, 2008 1:13 AM

You nver know. I mean have you seen the lameness of the D/P pokemon. I wouldnt be surprised if half of the 5th generation pokemon are fan-made pokemon through a contest.

BerserkPaladin May 2nd, 2008 6:11 PM

yea you are right about how lame d/p pokemon are, but they won't resort to fan made ones unless they are really desperate.

Mitchman May 3rd, 2008 12:42 AM

Wow you got this and mario x uner your belt. I am impressed berserk very impressed. Also goood luck!

BerserkPaladin May 4th, 2008 12:49 AM

If you read my first post I have put it on hold for awile. but thanks for the support.

Update! I have added 12 screenshots of the hack that I have been working on.

a new killer, ramoteh May 4th, 2008 1:22 AM

Maybe you should work on those pallette's.
They need to macth the other tiles too.

BerserkPaladin May 4th, 2008 6:16 AM

yes i think i know that, I'm just trying to get the right blend of colours.

Chimchar 9 May 13th, 2008 11:34 AM

nice tiles this hack looks really good any way good luck

Platinum Lucario May 14th, 2008 3:48 AM

This hack is very interesting... like with the O. type Pokémon,
it's a very interesting hack with a palette change and some new tiles.
Good luck!

BerserkPaladin May 15th, 2008 3:37 AM

lol for some reason i thought this thread was dead.

Thanks for the support!

*Gets back to the hacking*

One Winged Angel May 15th, 2008 10:51 AM

Hey, since i saw that this had no banner, and it seems cool,
Here you go!

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll300/yunghove/Darkpaladin.png
Code:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll300/yunghove/Darkpaladin.png



BerserkPaladin May 18th, 2008 5:27 AM

Thanks man, I was going to make one but u beat me to it :P.

UPDATE: Fixed the palette up, It is a bit lighter now so you won't strain your eyes when playing.
Also a strange bug in the ROM forced me to start again, but I had saved the individual maps so i was lucky that time.

UPDATE 2: Video of the hack is being prepared, in this video it will not show any scripts but some good things (what i don't want to spoil it for you). hopefully it will be up in a couple of hours. It will only show the first town and first route.

Zeikku™ May 18th, 2008 6:57 AM

Good work so far, but one thing, is to make your pallettes lighter, maybe work on some new color sets fro your sprites, I'm a spriter, so just ask me for opinions and idea's :)

BerserkPaladin May 18th, 2008 7:11 AM

The new video already shows that :P
I did think to myself that the palettes were too dark, so i lightened them. well like them?

Mitchman May 18th, 2008 7:16 AM

I know its a test vid but I had to comment on how cool it would be to go through an invisble door into an invisble lab. Dont take that though. I need it for my hack and for the millionth tim good luck.

BerserkPaladin May 19th, 2008 12:41 AM

Eh... why would i want that to happen... I will just edit the professors movements then done.

Mitchman May 19th, 2008 1:46 AM

I dunno like the proffoser is being hunted?!

Sarcastic Prince May 19th, 2008 3:05 AM

Cool, the HP is now blue instead of green.
And the Rival battle music is a slow version of battling the Champion.
Now all you need is to insert the backsprite of the hero.

BerserkPaladin May 20th, 2008 6:47 AM

I still need to construct the back sprite of the hero and i still haven't started with the heroine, or the rivals, but that ain't important right now.

also the battle music is actually for all trainer battles. I like it anyway.

I have got up to route 903 but I still need to fix a few things with warping. Will keep updated.

One Winged Angel May 20th, 2008 9:47 AM

Hey whats up, I like the pallets, but I just don't think that the Trees compliment them.
