Pokemon Island Mystery
 
Pokemon Island Mystery

Hack of: Firered or Ruby (depends if I get Kyledove's Tiles into Ruby by my birthday, which is going well)

Story: A tournament is happening within the many islands. You want to be part of the action and get your starter - a choice between Chinchou, Sunkern and Hoothoot. People have reported sights of Magma and Aqua troops, but these rumors aren't that frequent. However, as you progress and get badge after badge, you stumble upon plans to that involve awakening the 3 guardians of the Sea by Team Aqua, and the 3 controllers of the Earth by Team Magma for a war that raged thousands of years previously...

Main 6 legendaries are:
Sea: Lugia, Manaphy (this isn't a violent pokemon, but as the story goes on, you see it has a "dark side" thanks to Aqua) and Kyogre
Earth: Groudon, Shaymin (due to change, doesn't have violent side, but does thanks to Magma) and Regirock (might change... Not many Earth legendary's...)
All 386 Kanto - Hoenn pokemon available, and 24 D/P pokemon too.
Battle both teams, as well as a hidden team that is lying in wait for the fusion of Earth and Water...
A new, hidden Fakemon legendary- don't worry, might not occur!

Team:
Me.
Mac_mini
HFI

List of D/P pokemon:
1. Manaphy
2. Phione
3. Shaymin (might change.... Definately Land Forme)
4. Weavile
5. Gallade
6. Magnezone
7. Electivire
8. Magmortar
9. Dialga*
10. Palkia*
11. Giratina*
12. Rhyperior
13. Mismagius
14. Yanmega
15. Turtwig
16. Grotle
17. Torterra
18. Chimchar
19. Monferno
20. Infernape
21. Piplup
22. Prinplup
23. Empoleon
24. Rotom**
All * pokemon are hopefully going to be tied together in a Side Quest involving the hero and what happens after the E4, as well as the main legendaries.

A little spoil if possible to achieve, it will be in:

Spoiler:
This story reveals the wars in various stages. The beginning, the interfering of the teams and the aftermath, which all affect the hero and make him stop it. These scenes include (if possible):
The past (shown by Dialga, the first war between Land and Sea, and how it was stopped)

An alternate present (Palkia, where everything is different, and the war is still occuring ie the pokemon were never sealed away, with Aqua and Magma leading both sides. This isn't what will lead to Gira's. Gira's is your dimension. This dimension's fate will be unknown, but is assumed that it will be stopped by the alternate you. You do talk to the alternate you, and tells you about Shaymin and Manaphy, and why they became dark. You do visit the alternate present before, but only for 1 cutscene, and for receiving something that is vital)

The Earth, in a horrific future (Giratina, showing the future that would occur if Magma and Aqua had awakened the 6 legendaries in your dimension without you stopping them. A wasteland and little life, apart from Ghosts. War is finished with everything in patches - a few mountains, a lot of swamps and a few lakes.)...
After this will be the revelation of a hidden team, as well as the chance to battle these 3 at the end of each part, however as they will take up Unown space, DON'T CATCH THEM IF THIS IS MADE! I will try a new approach on collecting these 3.


Rotom will be essential, along with Celebi to reveal the Old Chateau's past, and its importance to Red, the 1st hero...

Anyway, a few rules:

No trying to tell me Firered is better. I don't care.
No asking for betas
No asking to be a team member unless I put a notice about it here.

Anyway, thanks to the poll, I have a Gym and E4 list now:

1. Dark
2. Fire - charizard19
3. Normal
4. Bug (might switch Bug and Fire though) - Me (I love Bugs, alright?!)
5. Grass
6. Water/Electric - Vrai
7. Ground/Rock
8. Psychic

E4
1. Steel - DragPyre94
2. Dragon - RukarioX
3. Water/Ice
4. Chaos (Psychic and Dark, like Espeon and Umbreon)

Also, I have decided that I will let people be Gym leaders. HOWEVER, you can only be 1 of the types listed, and it is first come, first served. Also, you need 20 posts at least to ask. I have decided on a few of them.

I have decided too that the Chaos of the E4 will be a Double Battle, so I need 2 people for that, as well as Water and Electric.

Surf December 22nd, 2008 4:01 AM

Oh cool it got posted
Well your Island Mystery looks is better than mine
Remember I'm still willing to help

Vrai December 22nd, 2008 4:44 AM

Wow. This looks pretty cool. It's all in-depth and everything. ^^

Good luck, and if I can help out with anything, just send me a buzz!

Banjora Marxvile December 22nd, 2008 10:22 AM

I need someone to sprite me a fakemon. They need to be a good spriter. I need proof of work, so PM me. It is only 1 sprite, but I may ask for more!

UPDATE: I don't know if this can be classed as an update, but I'm allowing a poll. It will be the type of the first Gym. The poll will have all types to be voted on. The one that is highest will be 1st Gym.

Also, if anyone cares, I've decided to stick to Ruby. No arguing with me about it, as nothing will change that.

1st Starter Map. It may be a little... rubbish, but it is draft one, and took 5 minutes.

http://i42.tinypic.com/24fmro9.png

Heart's Soul December 22nd, 2008 1:01 PM

Darn, no Dragon type. I was going for that. Dragons rule and is a challenge.

Banjora Marxvile December 23rd, 2008 2:23 AM

As a first Gym? Come on. A Turtwig and probably a Pidgey against a Dratini and a Bagon? No. Dragon's I'm saving for a reason.

I also need a limit on the 1st beta. I'm thinking up to 2nd Gym.

~Darklight~ December 23rd, 2008 3:22 AM

TT i got an idea again : D
1: Can i be a spriter (not an idea)
2:maybe the three starters should be : Bagon , Trapinch and Larvitar ?
3: Thats all (not an idea again !)

Banjora Marxvile December 23rd, 2008 3:24 AM

Too late. Starter is Turtwig, Chimchar or Piplup. Or maybe just Turtwig...

Anyway, I only need 1 sprite. You had an idea, you said in a VM, so tell me it.

~Darklight~ December 23rd, 2008 3:27 AM

The idea was that the fakemon is going to be a dark looking snake pokemon ...
I posted an Example sprite in my sprite album ..............................................

Banjora Marxvile December 23rd, 2008 3:30 AM

Doesn't anyone get the thing in the 1st post about Fusion of Earth and Sea? Its got to be:

Spoiler:
Either a fusion of Groudon and Kyogre or a pokemon that is Earth and Sea, a pokemon that is in legend a God of the World

Naruto Uzumaki The Nine Tailed Fox December 23rd, 2008 6:43 PM

This game has great tiles, Is it alright if I beta Test Your game. Oh and the storyline is amazing.

Banjora Marxvile December 24th, 2008 1:48 AM

Thanks, and I put a notice saying no asking for team members. I will be asking for them when the beta is nearly done, so keep looking.

UPDATE: The first route is here! Please comment!

dragpyre December 24th, 2008 3:56 AM

i think it is small and a bit too filled

but of course, that is rich coming from me :D

Banjora Marxvile December 24th, 2008 4:00 AM

Too filled? Elaborate.

Oh and I don't need a spriter anymore.

We have a new fakemon. This is it:

dragpyre December 24th, 2008 11:13 AM

i think that there is too many trees not enough grass

sorry for being honest

Banjora Marxvile December 24th, 2008 11:19 AM

What? That was the total opposite of what you last said.

Heart's Soul December 24th, 2008 11:38 AM

Not bad for a first route. I can help you get midi's for the game, like the new VS. Regi file. You may want to edit it as it may have a few unneded instruments (VS. Regi does not, luckily, out my several hundred midi files ripped from Platinum)

Banjora Marxvile December 24th, 2008 11:54 AM

I'll be fine with current music, and I prefer the old Regi theme. The only theme will be the legendary and the wild battles, they will be changed hopefully by the final release, if this gets that far.

Surf December 26th, 2008 6:05 AM

BUMP
Wow I should have checked up on this
well it looks like the prgress is great and nice Fakemon

Visible Light December 26th, 2008 9:29 PM

People actually want the first gym to be steel? They have few weaknesses. Anyway, this looks like a decent hack, but I would like to see some proof of work (screens).

i voted for steel
anyway, got any new members, turt?

Banjora Marxvile December 27th, 2008 3:04 AM

How can I show proof when I have only just started mapping, and had a holiday (Christmas). I've not had time to work much on this as it was Christmas, but I will be mapping again today hopefully.

Dragpyre: Steel? Who votes steel?

Vrai December 27th, 2008 6:52 AM

I'd laugh if Steel won :D

Anyways, it looks like Dark is winning. Steel, Fire, and Normal are all down by a few votes.

Put your votes in, everybody! :P

Banjora Marxvile December 27th, 2008 8:16 AM

I agree, VOTE! The 1st Gym will be that type, and there will be no arguements.

Hiche.. December 27th, 2008 9:03 AM

I think for a 1st gym, bug, rock, or normal, are reasonable. Anyways, this sounds interesting. Good luck on this.

Banjora Marxvile December 27th, 2008 12:46 PM

Ooh! I have a new little message! New starters. Seeing as D/P starters are too unoriginal, I've got an original triangle. It is unique in the way that instead of having a pokemon that evolves twice, it only evolves once. This is because my triangle only has 1 pokemon that fits in with 1 part. Here are the starters:

Chinchou, Sunkern, Taillow/Spearow/Hoothoot
Water/Electric < Grass < Flying < Water/Electric... etc

I will edit the stats and moves and evos to fit a starter pokemon.

Good Idea TWT that adds some origionality to the hack
Hope to see updates soon!

Banjora Marxvile December 27th, 2008 1:00 PM

I've been meaning to use that triangle for ages. I think it may be the first (and probably last) hack that uses it.

Surf December 27th, 2008 1:06 PM

Probably seeing as all hacks go with the starter that evoles twice
But origional is better

THESPIRIT December 27th, 2008 3:04 PM

nice, i hope it will work out right

Surf December 28th, 2008 3:41 AM

So TWT any updates?
just wondering *cough*bump*cough*

Banjora Marxvile December 28th, 2008 3:43 AM

Well, I'm currently inserting the D/P pokemons data. After that the pics, then I'll work more on mapping. I just wanted to get the pokemon inserting over, as that is semi-crucial, especially Rotom, and the dragon trio.

Cheesymitten December 28th, 2008 7:30 AM

Very nice ;) i like the choice of starter pokemon because....I think it's original O.o

Banjora Marxvile December 30th, 2008 4:01 AM

Thanks. This starter triangle was the only one I can think of that hasn't been overused.

sab January 1st, 2009 1:42 PM

looks good, can't wait for screen's to get up. I love the new tree tile. I think tha you don't have to insert all knew tiles... but you should insert some so that it looks good.

I think you need less grass and a spot you can use Cut to get an item.

Check out my Splice showcase, you can use any thing you like.

Jordy San January 3rd, 2009 5:10 AM

Hey TT, Just taking a look on your hack. It's pretty good, but You could narrow the poll with the gym types down. Steel is possible if you get the oppertunity of catching a fire pokémon before that, but come on! DARK?! I would scrap that one out f the list!

*EDIT* Ghot and Physich, sme thing. You need to get an oppertunity to get there weeknesses before the gym, and being able to catch a psychich, ghost pokémon before one of those, and I don't like the idea of getting 1 of the strongest types at the beginning of the game. :\

*EDIT 2* LOVE THE STORY AND THE STARTERS! ;)

I intend to add a cut tree, and the grass is too much, I know that, but it is the 1st route I've mapped. I already have the sprite I need, thanks.

Dark is the winner most probably. I will actually say that depending on the Gym types, the Wild Pokemon will be different. There will be a rare chance of probably getting a Fighting (or Torchic) in Route 1.

~DarkAchu~ January 3rd, 2009 5:33 AM

Nice TT, You should update your first post with the screeny, looks good. GL with this

agurcsik January 3rd, 2009 5:50 AM

The story reminds of the story of Scrouge, especially since Giratina is the "Ghost of Christmas Future."

I know. I was studying it in English, and it kind of fits with the Legendary battle and the consequences between Earth and Sea that you were told about in RSE. Also, I find a bleak future shown by a bleak pokemon great. If it was a happy future, I'd make a Celebi show it.

agurcsik January 3rd, 2009 7:51 AM

I need practice with making Fakemon, but I could help you make some, just ask me what you need and I can help, and you might need the evolution tone too.

There is something you can sprite for me that is optional. I need 8 Gym Leader sprites, and 4 Elite 4 sprites.

agurcsik January 3rd, 2009 7:59 AM

That would be easier to do if I knew the types you were definitely going to use.
What about recoloring (ie emerald, dark, gold, light, crystal)
Dark would be pretty usefull for Manaphy and Shaymin

Banjora Marxvile January 3rd, 2009 8:08 AM

Right, everybody, Steel is now a member of the E4. If it is 1st in the vote, I will pick the 2nd choice.

The "dark" Manaphy and Shaymin are not obtainable. They are only mentioned in the future.

Surf January 11th, 2009 3:33 AM

Nice Marxvile
I love the stor and how it involves dark shaymin and dark manaphy

Banjora Marxvile January 11th, 2009 4:21 AM

Great! Poll's done! Also, it is now a Firered hack, as I have a ROM Base ready... kind of... that is better. Dark is the 1st Gym type!

Well, Dark is certainly better as a first gym than Steel. :D

And you made a ROM base? I hope it looks good. ;)

Banjora Marxvile January 11th, 2009 9:54 AM

Well, it does in a way. I have a habit of making ROM Bases that I don't release. It only is tiles though.

Anyway, thanks to the poll, I have a Gym and E4 list now:

1. Dark
2. Fire
3. Normal
4. Bug (might switch Bug and Fire though) - Me (I love Bugs, alright?!)
5. Grass
6. Water/Electric
7. Ground/Rock
8. Psychic

E4
1. Steel - DragPyre94
2. Dragon
3. Water/Ice
4. Chaos (Psychic and Dark, like Espeon and Umbreon)

Also, I have decided that I will let people be Gym leaders. HOWEVER, you can only be 1 of the types listed, and it is first come, first served. Also, you need 20 posts at least to ask. I have decided on a few of them.

I have decided too that the Chaos of the E4 will be a Double Battle, so I need 2 people for that, as well as Water and Electric.

NarutoActor January 11th, 2009 9:58 AM

its essayer to start fresh insted of basing the game off of other nintendo releases

Umm... I only meant the ROM Base is of tiles. The hack will have new scripts and maps.

Jordy San January 11th, 2009 10:33 AM

Hey T, uhhhhh 'Marxville':P (Can't get used to it :P)
If it's okay with you, i want to be the Fire Type Leader. (Guess who my favorite is :P)
And Dark as first gym leader, at least it's tougher then the original ones ;)

Banjora Marxvile January 11th, 2009 10:46 AM

True. OK, I'm adding you.

Vrai January 11th, 2009 10:51 AM

I would love to have a role as the Water/Electric guy. :D

Banjora Marxvile January 11th, 2009 11:53 AM

Seeing as it is a Double, I'll add you.

Anyone else want that part too?

Banjora Marxvile January 18th, 2009 3:31 AM

*Update!*

I have moved this to Firered (as you know). I was planning on using a ROM base that I made myself, but I decided to use tiles that were kindly donated to me by HFI. I need opinion on these:

http://i40.tinypic.com/oum549.png

I am using these as of today.

Make your own jump edge thing to make it fit in with the other tiles, but good job.

Banjora Marxvile January 18th, 2009 3:52 AM

We have, but I didn't have time to edit it. I like the old one, to be honest, but I am going to edit it.

http://i44.tinypic.com/zwcifs.png

New tiles.

~DarkAchu~ January 18th, 2009 4:49 AM

WOOT turtwi.... i mean marxvile your hack is looking awsome :)

Banjora Marxvile January 18th, 2009 4:51 AM

Thanks Shado... I mean ~DarkAchu~. I am not to take credit for the new look. Thank HFI for it, as he offered them.

Heart's Soul January 18th, 2009 10:48 AM

All right if I be the Dragon master of the E4, please? Yeah, I have a only-Dragon team in my game featuring a Red Gyarados, Dragonite, Salamence, Charizard, and Kingdra as my team of 5. Yeah, good team.

Banjora Marxvile January 18th, 2009 11:39 AM

There. Added. More new tiles, but no screenshot until a major addition.

Banjora Marxvile January 29th, 2009 9:30 AM

I haven't given up on this yet, and I have a mini update.

A... New Map!

http://i39.tinypic.com/e19po1.png

The Gym is going to change, but the structure of the town isn't. Please comment!

Heart's Soul January 29th, 2009 9:43 AM

Preety nice for a map. Really, I feel like I want to help by contributing map ideas.

Banjora Marxvile January 29th, 2009 10:23 AM

Thanks. The only thing I get map ideas from is... well, how I am feeling.
