Pokemon Grey: Fatal Fantasy [Blue Hack]
Hack Name:
Pokemon Grey: Fatal Fantasy Hack of: Pokemon Blue Hacker: Hat Progress: 0/10 Download: Release 1 of 10 Introduction I'm Hat, some may know me as a or the Black Phantom, though I doubt it. Anyway... This is a restart of my old hack "Pokemon Grey", a Pokemon Blue hack I started a while ago, then suddenly stopped working on. Credits People I'd like to thank for me being able to make the current release of this hack... Cartmic - Helped me out when I first hacking Pokemon Generation 1 Ashandmisty - Beta Testing Various Structure Information: Cartmic, Coolboyman, DammedMoose, F-Zero, Giegue, Tauwasser, Xeon, various non-Pokemon hackers at places like RHDN for general ROM hacking info... Hacking Utilities: Swampert - Starter Editor Genecyst East Software - WindHex32 Snowbro - Tile Layer Pro Philip Reuben - Pokemap Jigglypuff - Goldmap FuSoYa - Lunar IPS Inspiration All present and past Pokemon ROM hackers, especially the GB/C variety! What's the story? Suddenly a figure appears before you, it's a man in a white coat holding a book. The man starts talking, the first thing you find out is that you're actually dreaming! He says his name is Professor Oak and that he studies creatures called Pokemon. He then goes on to explain that you and him don't live in the same dimension, you live in the region Azula which you already knew, but he says he lives in Kanto, which you've never heard of. After some more weird conversation about Pokemon, you and your best friend amongst other things, he tells you he has alot to do and says he has to "go wake up". Suddenly you wake up, you fell asleep underneath your house! This is the small underground path that you and your neighbour, your best friend had dug together, beneath both of your houses because... well, maybe you had nothing better to do! All you can think about is that strange (even for you!) dream you had, then you suddenly remember something! Today's the day the local professor, Foxy, gives you and your friend your first ever Pokemon! Well, now that stupid dream's over and done with, what's stopping you from going to see her? What may happen to you... * Getting your very first Pokemon, a companion to explore the region of Azula with! * Stopping good guys from making Azula a better place to live in! * Becoming a great Pokemon Trainer by battling others! What's changed? ...Quite a bit! * Both colours and music are horribly mixed! * Some terrible new art! * The whole world is upside down and dark! * Obvious Zelda 4 GFX borrowing... font, text borders, others! * No more gyms and badges! Beat dungeons and collect spells! * Pokemon have a somewhat more different look! * Who cares?!?!?!

I'll now attempt to explain why I chose the original hack name, and then why I extended it... There's two reasons why I chose the colour grey (spelled in UK English, as I'm from England), one related to video games and one related to people who hack computer networks. * Video Games: Alot of people exclusively play or hack games whose hardware they run on allows for more colours, to them nothing else matters. Grey is often associated with being dull and boring but because of that "sacrifice" it is stronger in other areas, in my opinion these other areas are what makes a great game. * Networking: I'm glad networks exist, for many reasons, but... I'm not particularly fond of "black hat" or "white hat" hackers. The large amount of black hats (script kiddies or otherwise), spend their time victimizing individuals who have very little security knowledge and money, it's not exactly challenging. Then there's alot of white hat hackers who (legally or not) do everything for money, by working for large companies, they're also deluded, they think they're making the world a better place. Grey hat hackers, well... not the above. The extension, "Fatal Fantasy" may remind you of the famous Final Fantasy games. The similar sounding name is partly why I chose that extension, because of the Final Fantasys being famous RPGs. Although I don't really play something just because it's an RPG, these games in some ways made Pokemon what it is (whether that's a good or bad thing), along with games like Dragon Warrior. Plus of course, the actual hack is set in a more darker world than the official Pokemon games. I planned everything out better this time around too, but the storyline remains quite similar, so I had no reason to completely change the entire title. } |
Wow, good to see Grey back. Fatal Fantasy sounds a bit too weird so I'll just stick with Grey.
Anyway, seems like you've been improving some tiles. I guess in the end, you wanted us to think as if you're living a terrible nightmare, that's why the colors are a bit weird, am I right? Wishing you luck, it's always good to see some diversity in the hacks posted here. Hope you can get more attention this time :) |
Thanks zel! I temporarily stopped to try some other stuff, plus my computer was smashed to pieces :laugh:. To "normal" people, the region of Azula would seem a bit nightmarish but for most of the people who live there it's actually perfectly normal to them! |
Good Luck with the hack!
|
You're back!! Oh my gosh. I'm loving your hack at the moment. Sorry I havent spoke to you for a while my MSN is buggered up. I like the new name for your hack actually. I love the new tiles! I was wondering how you changed the Pokemon pictures? I wish to do it for my hack...
|
This is kewl. I want to see this completed.

Nice, I'm glad you guys like it! ashandmisty, I'll explain how I changed the pictures (even though it wasn't very economic, space-wise), I basically dumped the ROM banks containing the Pokemon battle pictures from Yellow and also dumped the general Pokemon data. I then inserted the Pokemon pictures where there were totally empty banks and inserted the general Pokemon data over the old general PKMN data. Then I just had to change the ROM bank numbers in the ASM code in the first bank as well as Mew's pointer. That was just to save having to mess around with dumping pictures one at a time and trying to get them to fit without overwriting something important, I doubt I'll need those banks I used for anything else, as this hack isn't so much about adding features. But if you do decide to use this method, you might want to insert the Pokemon Green battle pictures for the benefit of poeple who play both our hacks, :laugh:. |

I'm not particularly good at communicating with people, so don't worry if you fail to understand what I'm going on about... I think the best way is to look at the following bits of code which I commented a bit, and read Duo Dreamer's ASM School tutorials for what some common mnemonics do, it's best to try and understand it yourself because my crappy ways of explaining things will just annoy you!

Finally, you've made another thread for Pokémon Gray.
I hope you continue with it, it looks a lot better. Also, I can see you are a bit more knowledgeable. ^^ |

Nice, I really like GB hacks. Too bad this isn't a Red hack, but I'll play it anyway! Good luck with this one!
|
Cool, a color generation hack, good luck.
Isn't going off topic breaking the rule? So why is a moderator doing it... |
Thanks for the comments guys, I'll see what else I can hack a bit of today, it's a pity I got up late though! |
I see a couple of old generation hack have been posted. This looks really good.
Good luck on it. |
