And So It Begins
You begin your story the moment you wake up from a dream. The day has finally come, you are have recently found that your big brother left town in search for answer regarding recent rumors about a disorder in the balance of the land. It's been said that every one thousand years, the spirits of the land of Hautson awaken to renew life. These are only myths, no one really takes them seriously, well no one except for you and your best friend; two teenagers who are always getting into trouble.
You sense something is wrong and that is the reason why your oldest brother departed from Zubolo Town. Your first task is to investigate around town for any clues leading to where your older brother left. Since no one in town will give you any information, the only method you have to rely on is between your best friend and the town's professor. You will need to find Prof. Katty and ask her to lend you a hand. She will give you a Pokemon to help you along the way and tell you that from that point on she can't do much so you and your best friend are on your own.
Your main goal, to find what is disturbing the balance in Hautson and find a solution for it. Are you up for the task?

Great! ^_^ But some of the fakemon look a little too small. A bunch of these are amazing, but many are morphs. =/ The fire starter looks like a vulpix with the face of a houndour for example and the pokemon next to the professor is a remoraid with something else. o_o. And the professor is a morph between Oak and some chick. xD Looking forward to this though! xD Best of luck!

EDIT: First post ftw. =p

colcolstyles April 15th, 2009 9:55 PM

I knew that title sounded familiar^^
This looks fabulous! The fakemon, especially the legendary dragon, are incredible! I can't wait for a playable version. Keep up the excellent work!

Tunaboy88 April 15th, 2009 10:04 PM

wow this hack looks awesome i love it

Ninja Caterpie April 15th, 2009 10:19 PM

The Pokemon look...so familiar? Why have I seen that worm before? :O

Good work, though. =P

Wings Don't Cry April 15th, 2009 11:41 PM

Looks awesome but the starters kind of look like bulbasaur, vulpix and dratini

Tropical Sunlight April 16th, 2009 2:45 AM

I remember this! O.o
Good luck!

monkeyboi April 16th, 2009 4:53 AM

ahh cool so it lives again. i was disapointed when i thought you guys had dropped this, when you've been working on it for so long and your website hasn't been updated in so long.

do did you guys finish nature at all? because i went to your website and i only see beta 2.

KoBRe LaiR April 16th, 2009 8:56 AM

Well I've taken the game back on my own, so I'll be doing all the work mostly since I havent been able to get in contact with anyone from the group. But there are a few changes that will be made from what you guys saw on the previous betas. The starters will be getting a new look though the water dragon was done from scratch and that one most likely wont get changed but just revamped. As for the other two the seed will get a new look and I already have a new concept look for the dog.

Nature was completed and it will be for download as soon as the website gets back online. I'm working on all of this during my free time.

gummybarz April 16th, 2009 1:05 PM

Can i help with this hack, I can insert sprites, Insert overworlds, Map, Basic tiles.

KoBRe LaiR April 16th, 2009 3:08 PM

I haven't decided if Im gonna be getting a new team since I still keep in touch with my old one through MSN but if I do decide to recruit I will let you know.
As far as the hack goes, I'm working on the overworld tiles since Ive noticed that there have been new advances to changing it in the past few years so Im gonna ry to implement that into FN.

jaypokemaster April 16th, 2009 4:12 PM

is this a remake of that hack they did for gold because that was a good hack:)

poddish April 16th, 2009 4:37 PM

Well good thing its back, I liked how it looked before, and was dissapointed when I heard it was canceled. Good thing it wasn't! :) So are you going to give a link to the site where we can download it, or is it a rom so you can't? If it is a rom, you could make a .ips or .ups patch of it for us

KoBRe LaiR April 16th, 2009 4:52 PM

Well I have begun hacking again so I'm just doing some editing at the momment for FN. Yeah Nature was a gold hack though Forest nature was supposed to be the remake of Nature but I got caught into it and decided to take it further. I still have Nature and I will be relasing it when my website opens up soon as well as a beta for Forest Nature.

/Circa April 16th, 2009 4:52 PM

Who would've thought :o!
Good luck on finishing it this time round.

Jayster23 April 16th, 2009 10:27 PM

This hack is Awesome. i can't wait for the beta of this to come out

Masterge77 April 17th, 2009 3:43 AM

The fakemon are impressive, they actually have effort put into them, they are not crappy looking like in Quartz, but actually good looking!

Chesu April 17th, 2009 6:52 AM

Blozzed and Zellex are both immensely pillow shaded... which looks kind of bad, when paired with the palette they use. All of the Pokemon under the silhouettes, however, look pretty good.

Here are a few more screenshots and a banner made for the game by brushfire of the team featuring the two trainers and two of the legendary dragons of the game. (four in total). I'm currently working on the storyline to be a bit more indepht then what I had orginally planned but more news on that to come later. i will also be posting a beta for FN soon this or next month depending on how much I have done.

On a side note:
I managed to find an old playable beta for Pokemon Nature. Now this is what I found within my files so Im not sure if its an older or newer beta but you guys are welcome to test it out. Patch it to a Gold version

Conan Edogawa April 17th, 2009 4:29 PM

I'm not sure if anyone has said this but the starters have two different shading styles. Other than that the concept and the hack as itself looks very nice.

PokeMoon April 17th, 2009 5:06 PM

Not bad. Looks pretty sexy :D

Jayster23 April 17th, 2009 11:24 PM

Patch it to a Gold version. Its the original Pokemon Nature though its in its starts. NOT the final version. I will probably release a version of that one later this year and make a thread for it but as for now just that. (since ive been seeing how this game has been asked by people on diff forums and even on youtube lol) i guess I can make it faster ;)

Cartmic April 18th, 2009 12:17 AM

Hey man, it's great to have you back! Also to have a proper Rom hacker return to Pokecommunity.

For Pokemon Nature you might want to pop over to post it where a lot of RBGY GSC hackers have been hanging out recently, Twilight-Hacking, it's in my sig.

KoBRe LaiR April 18th, 2009 12:23 AM

Thanks for the tip I'll check it out soon.
oh and as far as a few updates go. I managed to get a hold of some shots from the last beta.
Since I was going over some suggestions, we had changed the first starter as I last remember into a penguin. Now I know we are still working on a better line, designs have been made but we havent fully finished spriting them, here is what was in the previous demo.

Wow FN is actually back O.o. I've always loved this hack. The sprites are really nice. But hey are you planing on changing more tiles ? Well it really doesn't matter since gameplay must be really nice :P
Keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work.

Tile changes have become boring now, thanks to the countless ROM bases. unless they are truly unique it's not worth putting them in.

I was going to change the way the towns looked and all but Im not sure if I wanna temper with the original idea of what I had for the hack. I mean sure it would look nicer but it would not be what I had intended to do in the first place.
All I'm changing are the sprites (trainers, pkmns, overworld) as well as the events, maps, and working on redoing the intro but I wanna leave Forest Nature to its original plot that I had begun back in 05.

Jayster23 April 18th, 2009 11:11 PM

Hehe I like your fakemon. Penguri looks cute

KoBRe LaiR April 19th, 2009 12:18 AM

Thanks, though I'm still not sure if Im gonna keep it as the starting base or change it as a regular pokemon. =\
Side note: I'm still trying to figure out how the two other dragons will look like, the fire and the electric. I have both the Ice and the grass dragons down, and the grass dragon is the one debuting in the game, even though the storyline deals more with the ice and fire ;) but more on that later hehe
any ideas? i'm taking ideas for now.
So far Zestfrost has no legs just hands and has a long tail with crystal wings and is snakelike.
As far as Naztrak goes, its a dragon like pokemon with six different wings and it has a rock type body.
Im not sure where I wanna go for the other two though... ugh where is Kuru when I need him =\

Andrew McKenzie April 19th, 2009 5:28 AM

Alright, Forest Nature's back!
Good luck and keep up the good work KoBRe LaiR, I luck forward to playing this when it's complete.

KoBRe LaiR April 19th, 2009 10:35 PM

Thanks :)

So im thinking I wanna put out a few shots of what I ended up doing for the maps, I reedited some of the previous maps and how they looked in the game but Im not sure if i will post the images or release a test beta for the maps. If i do it will be sometime this week and it will have also a few other things edited.
