Pokemon Zircon - Birth of an Era

Introduction

Hello to all the people out there.
I'm Henry/KakerZone Y, and I've been hacking for a few years now.
This hack is just a re-do of my old hack, Pokemon Zircon, in a whole new region and D/P Pokemon.
I hope you like it!

Story

Spoiler:
You're a young child, and one morning you were looking out of your window and saw kids playing with POKEMON. You thought to yourself "Why don't I have a POKEMON?"

At night, you saw a ad on the television. "We are giving away free POKEMON from the JOGO POKELAB! There is HORSEA, GROWLITHE and MAGBY! You sent the JOGO POKELAB an email with your address, and requesting for a GROWLITHE.

The next morning, a package came in the mail. It was from the JOGO POKELAB INC. Your mum opened it for you, and read the letter.

Dear [name], Thank you for mailing me. It seems like you are a very keen trainer. Inside this POKEBALL, is the POKEMON you chose. Which is a GROWLITHE. I would also like to meet you. Come to the POKELAB in JOGO CITY. Just walk right inside and go to your left. That's my office! I hope to see you soon. From, PROF. KAO. It also came with your requested POKEMON, GROWLITHE.

You were very excited! You said your goodbyes to your mother and brother, and off you went, on your POKEMON adventure, meeting new friends and rivals, Gym Leaders and evil organizations, and the Elite Four. You'll love this version of Zircon!

I don't want to bug you,but theres already a pokemon hack called pokemon Zirco,and a 'n' in the end of the word doesnt make the difference.Please change it.

It looks very good.

Flandre Scarlet May 2nd, 2009 3:35 AM

Hmmm.. actually they stole that name off my old hack.

EDIT: New Screenshots. These include: New bedroom with some new tiles and new downstairs.

i think i just felt pain equivilant to a knife going into my heart with the kyledove tiles (i think they're way too overused) but other than that it should be good :)

I totally agree with you. Kyledove tiles are way too used. But your mapping KakerZone its pretty good. I haven't yet hear the new music that you included but i think it must be pretty good. The only think that i don't like are the tiles as i said before but okay. Good Luck!

I am also disappointed that you went with Kyledove tiles.
But none the less, I support you.
Good luck!

Chimchar 9 May 3rd, 2009 3:15 AM

Wow this look's really good!
As people are saying that them tiles are overused, why don't you do what "~Arcade Star~" did, like start off with the rombase, then add awesome tiles & palettes.;)
Anyway i wish you the best of luck!:)

Curt_09 May 3rd, 2009 12:38 PM

This hack looks nice. I don't think the tilesets are too overused at all. While I see a lot of hacks boasting them, I personally have never played one that used one (although I haven't looked around for one all that hard...)
Interesting start to the story, hope it progresses well.

Flandre Scarlet May 4th, 2009 4:04 AM

Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate it. :)

Screenshot time! These include: WesleyFG tiles and the new Jogo City.

Well I like the new pallets! But the grass is a bit of an eyesore xD

Logan May 4th, 2009 4:35 AM

That's because he didn't post it on PC. And Zircon has more of a chance then Zirco so Henry you should keep the title xD

He has had this name for quite a long time, just not posted a thread.

kingfisher309 May 21st, 2009 7:38 AM

absoloutly fab work on those indoor tiles

brilliant

Flandre Scarlet May 25th, 2009 4:39 AM

Well, it has been along time since I have updated the forum.
Here are some major updates. Lets begin.

------------------------------------------------------------------

After the announcement of HeartGold/SoulSilver, I have got my hands on some good tiles by Zel!x (thanks dude). I have also ripped a tree from one of the screenshots, resized it and inserted it. Here are some screenshots. I will also be seperating the old screenshots and the new screen shots in the first post, so be sure to check them out.

Thanks for looking!

Tropical Sunlight May 25th, 2009 4:45 AM

Well done Flandre!
Though the mountains on the last screen look unnatural...
It's so great!
Good luck!

Flandre Scarlet May 25th, 2009 4:48 AM

Hawhaw... Thanks ~Watermelon, I appreciate your comment. And yeah I do know that, I might change it too, thanks for pointing that out lol :P.

Logan May 25th, 2009 4:49 AM

Henry, I have changed my mind about the new tiles! I love them xD My only dislike is of course the mountains and the house, it looks just a smidge to dark to me :P

Nikkie. May 25th, 2009 4:49 AM

Wow, Kaker.
 
Wow, Kaker, this is better than before (I saw this on GPS long time ago) however, as Watermelon said the mountains don't look nice.

Where do you get the Over Worlds from? They look nice. (In other words, "I want them!!")
