Introduction
Well, after trying out RMXP, I realized it really wasn't for me. Distant's storyline also didn't suit me either, so I felt like I needed one good storyline that people would enjoy, and that I would also enjoy, which is why I quit Distant. Anyone can continue it if they so please. Now, I bring you the idea thread for my newest project, Pokémon Gray Version!

Storyline
Kamon, the infamous character who took place in Gold, Silver and Crystal. After being defeated by you numerous times, he finally realized... 'Being strict, and evil to my Pokémon got me nowhere.' He felt guilt from all the sinister deeds he's done to his fellow companions. Regrettably, he released them into the wild. His plan was to start fresh, and be a kinder, gentler Pokémon Trainer, just like all the rest of them. He decided to take the next boat to the large region of Kypra, which was his home region.
The region on Kypra is well known for its well kept secrets, too. When traveling in Kypra, you will uncover great mysterious, battle through a ferocious line of gym leaders and elite four, and repay your dues from your actions performed in the past.

Team Haze
Team Haze has been around for a couple of years before your arrival in Kypra. Team Haze's main priority is to balance the ever so magical sea, with the land that everyone is familiar with. This means, their goal is to create a world with the same amount of sea as land. There are two leaders to this team, one of them is known as Maxie, the other known as Archie. With this information, what is Team Haze going to turn into in 4 or so years? That's right. Team Magma and Aqua used to be a joined team. But, why did they seperate from Haze?

Features
-Play as the infamous Kamon
-Travel new lengths in a brand new region
-Battle through a raging string of gym leaders
-Dominate over the notorious Elite Four
-Visit bits and pieces of a well known region, Johto
-Visit massive and beautiful maps
-Experience exquisite scripts and events
-Uncover hidden secrets and mysteries within the region
-Have eye candy to new palettes, and some brilliant tiles from Fangking Omega

It sounds like a good idea. Good luck with this! :D

First post! :D

¦Next Pro February 8th, 2009 4:11 PM

Nice
 
Liking the Story line, Also the Mini Detain in the features. Hope this goes.
Good luck!

Tyrantrum February 8th, 2009 4:34 PM

Great story Jake.

This seems nice.

Good luck~

Disturbed February 8th, 2009 4:55 PM

Here's a quick screen, just so my thread isn't super boring :D

Tyrantrum February 8th, 2009 4:57 PM

Cool. :D

Lets just hope those clouds don't look like they're in the water ON the dock! XD

Good luck~

Nah, they go under the dock. I just wanted to get a quick screen so the title of the map was there ;)

Bigboy February 8th, 2009 5:14 PM

I loved the font you use for the title. It just works in bring in the eye.

But I also like where you are coming from on the storyline point of veiw.

Disturbed February 9th, 2009 3:45 PM

Well dudes, I think I got all the planning out of the way, and I'm now going to officially start Gray, most likely with the titlescreen. :D

Surf February 16th, 2009 1:51 PM

Nice Jake I always wondered what happend to Kamon after the Johto Cronicles
Olivine Docks, hey?

Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch February 16th, 2009 4:34 PM

Cool. Bad guy turned hero. Actually, you know, that makes Gray a pretty good name... I don't know if that was the reasoning behind it? Anyway, good luck with this.

I'm pretty sure he just thought of a random color. ^^

Can't wait to see work on this, Jake! :)

Yes, it was a completely random name. I was originally going to go with Purple, but I thought Gray would fit a bit more :D

I guess I can post some news...

I'm converting to Ruby, and using Colcolstyles' prototype rombase, which has enough FireRed tiles in it to keep me happy.

I have 3 completed maps, and scripting will soon start, so updates will come later this week, finally!

Disturbed February 19th, 2009 1:28 PM

Update!
 
Finally, a big update. What I have to show is 10 screens from 5 maps. I have yet to add NPCs, but I thought these screens would spice up the thread a little bit :D

:D Gray does fit better. *remembers my earlier post*

...

Screenshots, yay!
Nice names you got there. lol @ more route #'s. :D
(I may have to actually name my routes, just to be different... XD)

Chimchar 9 February 19th, 2009 1:42 PM

Cool hack you got there, is that why you gave Distant away ?
Well good luck !

Tyrantrum February 19th, 2009 3:01 PM

When did you get this far without me? D:

Looks great though, Jake! :3
Good Luck~

colcolstyles February 19th, 2009 5:43 PM

Nice maps ya got there. Although I spotted some tile errors with the tree shadows at the base of some trees ;)
Well good luck with GREY Version :D

Vrai February 19th, 2009 5:56 PM

Remember, Styles:

1.) Gray is a color.
2.) Grey is a colour.

/ontopic/
Looks like you've gotten a nice hold on this, Jake. I can't wait to see some scripts, though. ^_^

destinedjagold February 19th, 2009 6:46 PM

At first I thought it was an Emerald hack. :P

Anyways, the presentation's really nice. :)
I like the maps and as well as the story.
Kamon is Silver, right? :\

Anyways, I spotted a tile error on those screeny~

You'll get some scripts as soon as Disturbed gets an idea for a script and sends me the info *nudges Jake to get moving*

I'm not sure if this is a tile error but could you show me the block data for the bridge tile that has the mountain underneath it? It looks a little weird although is may just be me. Also, there's a tile error with the bridge over the ledge over the water (which is fixable ;)).

Hiche.. February 20th, 2009 6:19 AM

I'm very impressed with this, Jake. The mapping is looking just great. I hope to see some scripting soon. I wish you the best of luck on this. :]

As I told you before, I like how they look without the shading on the bottom. It's a personal preference.

Well, I don't see why I can't do those corners, seeing as Nintendo did them when making Meteor Falls. It's a nice way for me being lazy and also being fully capable of getting away with it. And yes, Kamon is Silver. I might as well specify that in the front post.

I don't need you for everything. I can work with my own skills until something goes really wrong and I need assistance. xD

Actually, that's as close as I can get it to perfect (talking about the water's ledge thing part), although I can try tinkering around with it some, so I can try and get a better result.

Vrai February 20th, 2009 4:23 PM

Your maps are multiplying like little rabbits.. :0
I must learn to make mine do that.

Well, hope for some updates soon! ^^

That's all for now. I'll start a haunted forest now, for one of the gym areas.

Map Count: 15 Mapped, still need to start scripting :D

Chimchar 9 February 20th, 2009 6:19 PM

Nice updates you got there, btw your maps look weird because your using ruby.
(or is that just me ?)
Well good luck ~

Hm, there are some tile errors at the corners of the stone path. I believe I included the corners in the patch I gave you. If not, I'll send you one that does. On top of that, I also believe I created a tile to be used in front of a door to a house (which should be used in both of your screenshots from Mizia City).
I also spotted a couple of tree shadow errors at the base of some trees.

Yes, he is using Ruby.
I don't see how the fact that he's using Ruby makes his maps weird-looking :\

Disturbed February 23rd, 2009 11:57 AM

Well good luck!

Yeah. 15/24 maps (if I counted correctly)
I try not to start mapping anything that I won't be using for a long time (even if it's on the current beta). I've been trying to map in order.

Progress will surely go slower when I get to the scripting part, eventually. :(

hi sir tomato my password is syvniti February 23rd, 2009 1:45 PM

I don't really like the story line, you'll need some work there.. And at the mini detain features too...
Hope this goes!
Good lick, I mean good luck...

30'th post...

plaidboxerss February 25th, 2009 4:08 PM

yo this sounds like it could turn out sick.

just out of curiosity were you thinking of editing the sprite of the main character at all so he looks more like kamon?

Masterge77 February 25th, 2009 4:34 PM

This hack sounds intresting, I always wondered wht Team Magma and Aqua hated each other so much......

RetroGamer379 February 25th, 2009 6:08 PM

Like the idea. Good luck with this.

paperpichu February 25th, 2009 6:22 PM

Sounds good. New screenshots please.

Disturbed February 27th, 2009 6:22 PM

Well, here is a small new thing for Gray. A user bar made by <~Flood~>
:D
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg19/Mecharatchet/grayversion.png
Also, if you look in my sig, you will see potential tiles for a haunted tileset for Gray! w00t

<~F.M.P~> February 28th, 2009 1:50 AM

Ha! mapping looks fantastic as always. It's good to stick with one part of the hack rather than being all over the place, this is going to be a great hack :P

dark charmander March 1st, 2009 5:14 AM

looking good if this was really coming out on DS i would way buy it

Disturbed March 10th, 2009 10:17 AM

Sorry there haven't been any updates lately. Gray had a crash, sadly. D:
That means, I had to redo everything, which is being a pain. Well, hopefully there will be more updates later this month.

Tropical Sunlight March 10th, 2009 12:25 PM

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that.
I hope it won't take too much time.

Zychronos April 7th, 2009 10:00 PM

so if this game really gets made, would you be using kamon's sprites like these ? =)

img24.imageshack.us/img24/287/3868727774a7226490127l.jpg

Anyway, I hope this really gets going, sounds a great idea not to mention im a big fan of Silver ^^ he is my fav character. I read the manga and he is a good guy =), the bad guy part of him ended really soon heh ^^
