Pokemon Black Shadow
 
Yep, I'm starting another hack. I still don't know a lot though, so don't expect too much.

Pokemon Black Shadow
Hack of Ruby(U)

Story:
Your father has been offered a position in the Elite Four in the Sho Region, and he accepts. This forces your family to move to the entirely new region. You have just arrived at your new home in Emerald Town, and you've recently turned 13. In the Sho Region, you must be at least 13 years of age to become a Pokemon trainer. So you talk to Emerald Town's Pokemon Professor, Prof. Pine. He asks you to choose 1 of 3 Pokemon to use in a wild Pokemon battle. If you win, he gives you the Pokemon used, as well as a Pokedex. He then asks you to go meet his son, Ken, who has recently started his Pokemon journey. As soon as you do meet him in the next town, he challenges you to a battle and quickly becomes your rival. Throughout your travels, you run into the mysterious Nova Organization multiple times. All you know about them is that they plan to reshape the Sho Region, and their intentions are bad...

Features:

- The new and diverse Sho Region
- Region includes Pokemon from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.
- All Pokemon obtainable
- New tiles
- Many different areas, including mountain, volcano, desert, swamp, and snowy areas.
- Headbutt system from G/S/C returns, replacing wild Pokemon found by Rock Smash
- A new team called the Nova Organization
- New towns, gyms, and rivals (obviously)
- Not just anyone with all 8 badges can face the Elite Four. You must go through a tournament first.

Progress:
Finished Emerald Town, Route 301, Hillside Town, Hikari Hills, and Route 302. Currently mapping Centra City.

Credit for the tree tiles goes to whoever contributed the custom sinnoh tiles in the Pokemon DP section of The Spriter's Resource. (There was no name)

So let me hear your comments, positive or negative, and suggestions. I may need scripter(s), someone to make support bars, and eventually beta tester(s), so if anyone wants to help (with anything really. It doesn't have to be anything I mentioned above), just PM me. I would really appreciate it.

lukeh July 8th, 2008 11:14 AM

Hey I had the name pokemon Shadows for a while now and I have had it announced for a while now too. Could you change your title?

Blaziken626 July 8th, 2008 11:33 AM

Sorry, I had no idea anyone else was using this for a title. I don't mind changing it if it matters that much to you.

his hack isnt pokemon shadow its pokemon black shadow as it says on the thread anyway you need a mod to change the name for you anyway good luck

lukeh July 8th, 2008 1:26 PM

He just changed that.... Well anyways, thanks for changing that. That was nice of you.

Blaziken626 July 9th, 2008 9:04 AM

I've updated the first post with some screenshots and maps. I'm hoping to finish the scripts for those areas soon.

lukeh July 9th, 2008 12:46 PM

Hey, you can have the name back, cause im doing something different now, okay?

Chimchar 9 July 9th, 2008 12:52 PM

wow i love the screenshots and the maps where did you get them tiles please tell me

[K]evin "The Last Eeveon" July 9th, 2008 12:54 PM

Well I Wish You Luck If Need Help With Mapping Or Sprite Just Ask Ok?

Blaziken626 July 9th, 2008 6:31 PM

Actually, Kevin, I may need someone to resize DP battle sprites to fit the 64x64 limit. I just don't know which DP Pokemon I want in the game. (for sure the evos/prevos) If you want to help PM me an example of your work, and I'll see if you can help. ^_^ I guess that basically goes for anyone who wants to contribute.

And about the tiles, I forgot to mention in the first post that I got the trees from the Spriter's Resource. And the grass tiles were custom made by me, as well as the palette.

And I'll keep the name Black Shadow, since I already inserted the title into the game.

BTW, I think this thread now fits the requirements for the Hacks Showcase. You think I should PM a mod and ask to move it? (and change the name)

lukeh July 10th, 2008 5:46 AM

Sorry i was too late.... But keep only the new pre and evos cause they were the only good things about Sinnoh. But thats just my opinion....

Jayster23 July 10th, 2008 5:53 AM

This looks like a really good hack i can't wait to play it and it looks that your an ok mapper

Platinum Lucario July 10th, 2008 12:21 PM

Nice hack, I like the grass tiles and the sprite, anyway the name Prof. Pine is already being used in Pokémon Green Diamond which is riolu 9's hack. Good luck anyway.

Blaziken626 July 11th, 2008 12:19 PM

Thanks for the comments, everyone! :)

I've added more screenshots. And lukeh, as you can tell by them, I'm using more than just the evos/prevos in the hack, obviously the starters and Darkrai.

Silver Riolu: I guess it doesn't matter if the Professors have the same name. I'm sure there are plenty of other hacks that use that name.

Blaziken626 July 15th, 2008 5:19 PM

Just double-posting for an update.

I've added more screenshots. They include the first encounter with your rival, Ken. And Hikari Hills will play an important part in the story later on.
I've pretty much finished scripting and mapping for the first three areas. I'm planning on release the first beta once I finish work on the next city and the route after it. The beta most likely WON'T have the National Dex, since I don't think anyone knows the flag for it yet.

BTW, I'm still in need of beta testers, support bars, probably some scripters, and probably some spriters, so if someone wants to be a part of this hack, it would be a great help.

I might be able to beta test.
This hack looks great so far.
I wish I could help with anything else, but I'm horrible at spriting scripting, etc.

Blaziken626 July 15th, 2008 6:40 PM

Sure, you can beta test! :) That would be a great help! Thanks if you can!

[HoN] Jereziah July 16th, 2008 12:45 AM

Wow!
Good luck on your hack!

Yeah, unfortunately, that is just for FR. Maybe I could just edit the Hoenn Dex.

Blaziken626 July 17th, 2008 2:43 PM

Updated the first post with a map of Route 302. So far, the hack's coming along pretty well. Thanks for your support! The first beta should be up soon.
