Pokemon AncientEmerald
 
-INFORMATION-
Hack of:
Silver


Hack Name:
AncientEmerald


Introduction:
Hello, my name is Melash. You may remember me from Awakened Legends. After that project was cancelled, I’ve been practicing hacking Gold and Silver, and I now believe I’m ready to publish my second official hack. It seems many people have forgotten what a “Hack” should be. It should not be a few map changes, a several tile edits, and a new script or two. It should be much, much more than that. This hack will be an actual “Hack”, if not more. In fact, you may not even be able to recognize the original Silver Version I started out with. Now then, welcome to AncientEmerald.


Storyline:
Many of you have played Emerald, and enjoyed an adventure throughout the Hoenn region. If you have, then prepare to relive it again, but this time in a Second Generation game. This hack, in simple terms, is a devamp of Emerald onto Silver. You will be able to play through Emerald again, but this time on the GBC, with an extended storyline and more features. You will be able to save Prof. Birch, defeat team Magma and Aqua, defeat Wally in Victory Road, and continue the story after Emerald is over.

Features:
New Graphics -Every tileset redone from scratch. All sprites are new also
New Maps -Yes, prepare to relive the Hoenn region.
New Pokemon -All Hoenn Pokemon, and some Sinnoh Pokemon added in.
Completely new scripts -Everything will be rescripted from scratch.
New HM’s -DIVE will be making an appearance to this hack.
New TM’s -A brand new TM set that resembles Emerald's.
New Items -Many new items, replacing old and unused ones.
New Attacks -Many new attacks have been added in.
New Music -Several tracks have been imported from various games.
Two regions -Hoenn, and part of another region.

....and much, MUCH more!

Screenshots:

Here we go, proof that I’m actually doing work until I release a beta. Please note that the graphics are still a work in progress.

-Q&A-
This hack is a very big project, so I’ve realized that many people will be asking questions. Here is a list I’ve complied of questions that have been asked, or questions that will probably be asked.


Spoiler:
Q: So, will this hack have all the same maps as the original Emerald did?
A: Yes, you will have the WHOLE Hoenn experience.

Q:Will all the Hoenn Pokemon be added in?
A: Yes. There will also be other Pokemon added in, including some from Sinnoh.

Q: Okay, so you’re adding Hoenn Pokemon in. Are all their stats, and other stuff also be correct?
A: Of course.

Q: Will all the legendary Pokemon events still be in?
A: Yes. Several other legendary events will also be added in.

Q: Will there be a gender choice in this hack?
A: As for now, no. However, if an experienced coder will help me out, it could become a reality.

Q: Can we still expect a return of all the Emerald Characters?
A: Yes, and a few new faces.

Q: Is HM08, Dive, added in?
A: Of course. Wait until you see what it looks like underwater....

Q: Wait, there’s two regions in Gold! Will there be two regions in this hack?
A: Yes, and no. Hoenn will be divided into East and West Hoenn. However, the East side of Hoenn seems a bit empty, so you will be able to travel to part of another region.

Q: Will there be new music tracks added into this hack?
A: Eventually, yes. If someone would like to give me the tracks from the original Ruby, I will insert them.

Q: What about Secret Bases?
A: It'll be awhile until the beta reaches that. However, it's something I'm looking into right now.

Q: When will you release a beta?
A: Read the Beta Section.

Q: Can I become a Beta Tester?
A: Read the Beta Section


-BETA SECTION-
Beta Releases:

As of right now, I have not released a beta. I will release one soon, but I cannot make a definitive date, yet. I can tell you that I will release a short Demo before the Beta, so you won’t have to wait as long for a full beta release. When will that be released? You won’t have to wait too much longer.....

Beta Progresses:
Okay, here I’m going to show about how far each beta will most likely go to. These may change, and they may already be changed.
Demo: Littleroot Town – Route 102
Beta 1: Littleroot Town – Dewford Town
Beta 2: Granite Cave – Lavaridge Town
Beta 3: Route 113 – Team Magma Hideout
Beta 4: Route 124 – Ever Grande City
Beta 5: Second Region
Beta 6: Cleanup and Easter Eggs
Final Version: Everything

Beta Testers:
Before you ask, no, you cannot become a beta tester. The only way you can become a beta testers is if you either become a team member, or if I actually know you. Even then, no guarantees. Here is the list of beta testers:

Kage-X
Cooley
Mateo
Redstar
Vednix

If I have asked you before, and you are not on this list, please send me a PM.

Here are the banners that have been made for this hack. I will accept banners from anyone:

Closing:

Well, I’ve done my part, so now it’s your turn. Please post here about this hack. You could post ideas, comments, or just tell me if you’re going to play this. Please though, no spam.

Vednix June 24th, 2009 9:44 AM

Woot, first post.

Anyway, onto the matter at hand, this looks to be a promising hack. And I though I was a beta tester? :/

ALso, you appear to have posted the same screenshot twice.

Melash June 24th, 2009 9:47 AM

Yes, I see that I did double post a screenshot. I'll have to take that down. And yes, I did ask you to become a beta tester. I'll update the thread shortly.

Vednix June 24th, 2009 9:49 AM

^o^ yay. I'll be waiting in the shadows for the beta...

MASTEROFPUPPETS93 June 24th, 2009 11:16 AM

Yeah, another GBC-hack!
I like how you inserted the r/s tiles :P
Looks like a ruby rom with a silver-ow xD I'm looking forward to beta ;)
Hope you'll finish it... Good luck :P

//edit: YEEEEAAAAHH! 70th post xD

Melash June 24th, 2009 12:43 PM

Okay, it's official. I am now going to be using Emerald Tiles, not Ruby tiles for this hack. I will get out some screenshots later.

Sleepwalker June 24th, 2009 12:53 PM

Wow. A silver hack. I haven't seen a Silver hack. This game looks good.

Are you gonna have RSE attacks in it?

I'm glad to see I have someone making banners for me. However, I would like you to hold off, as I might just change this thread to AncientEmerald, not AncientRuby. I'll attach a poll and see what I get...but I'm pretty sure I already know the result.

øbliteration June 24th, 2009 3:27 PM

Yeah, I can redo userbars later.
I voted emerald, as I'd like to see the battle frontier. however, it seems like it would be really hard to script.

I'm pretty sure I could do it, it would just take time. That will be very far into the future for this hack, so I really won't work on it at all yet.

øbliteration June 24th, 2009 3:34 PM

well, I figured that. really, i meant all of the added scripts such as scott, and trainer tower and the like. do you think trick house will be in this?

SonicBlazePlatinum June 24th, 2009 3:36 PM

Pokemon Emerald is one of my favorite Pokemon games so I voted for it.

Yes, I'm planning on it, it shouldn't be too hard to add in. I'm currently devamping some Emerald tiles, and I'll insert them later today and update some of the screenshots.

NecroFlame June 24th, 2009 4:00 PM

This looks simply amazing. I haven't seen a silver hack before... I wish you best of luck with this. I'll keep an eye on this hack.

Danno June 24th, 2009 4:13 PM

So, which Pokemon are being left out to make room for the RSE ones? all the old ones?

I thought the GBC Hacks can make room for all 493 Pokemon. So there's no need to remove any.

I was wondering, how will you do the Red Orb animation?

Lin June 24th, 2009 4:50 PM

I truly hope this gets finished. It looks great and I personally hate the Pokemon Advance+ engines, and stick to Red/Blue and Gold/Silver. Good job and don't give up :D

Ahh, that's awesome :D I can't wait. :)

giradialkia June 24th, 2009 6:04 PM

YES this is finally up, and everything i expected. I'd seen a single pic about it, and finally the thread is up. Brilliant idea, a de-make, or whatever you'll call it. Kudos! Well done!

Vednix June 24th, 2009 10:47 PM

Ah. that looks better. you still have two screenshots the same though :P

and perhaps putting the last 5 screenshots on a new line?

Alec_ June 25th, 2009 1:13 AM

I admire this hack!. The graphics are amazing, :PP. Love it. :DDDD Great job by the way. XD;;. Hope that you would sucess in this hack!. Good-luck!

.com June 25th, 2009 1:16 AM

Will you be including a worthless cameraman in Slateport that follows you? JK

But, what are you doing for the clock and bag scenes? I could see the time set from gsc being for that, but the bag, idk.

DoodleZ June 25th, 2009 1:22 AM

looks cool
il play the beta when its up

Tropical Sunlight June 25th, 2009 3:04 AM

Ahahahahahahahah!
I like the idea!
Good luck with this!

giradialkia June 25th, 2009 4:57 AM

Eh, i'm not sure, but did you mis-spell Poochyena?
Oh, yeah, there, you put in an extra ''e''.
''POOCHEYENA''. That bold ''e'' shouldn't be there. Minor flaw, but everything else is great. :D.

Melash June 25th, 2009 7:16 AM

All right, still glad I'm getting a lot of support. Here are some useless bits of information...

1. The original G/S/C game only had 251 Pokemon in it. It is possible to add in one more (According to Coolboyman), so you actually could have 252. You can only catch 200 Pokemon in Ruby/Sapphire, so I'm just going to leave it that way. However, the other 51/52 slots will be used, I can tell you that much.
2. Emerald is the most popular choice, so far anyway, so I will insert the Emerald graphics, instead of the Ruby graphics. I will also change the name of this thread sometime soon.

New screenshots will be released soon.

Vednix June 25th, 2009 8:14 AM

Hmm? Yes, 200 catchable, but what about Jirahci and Deoxys?

Melash June 25th, 2009 7:04 PM

Yes, Jirahci and Deoxys will be added in. You will be able to get the Eon Ticket in this hack, and be able to catch any Pokemon that you could only get through trading, and whatnot. As soon as the votes get up to 20 for Emerald, this WILL officially be a devamp of Emerald, not Ruby.

bobthebutler June 26th, 2009 6:59 AM

Will you be able to implement running shoes into this hack?
and btw, i'm really looking forward to this, great job so far!!

cooley June 26th, 2009 9:04 AM

Hey Melash, this is beautiful! You've really progressed from before! Can't wait to try this out ;)

P.S. Since this is a Ruby hack, have you found a way to edit the connections?

poddish June 26th, 2009 10:33 AM

uhh... actually without asm, there is only room for 255 pokemon. And one of them is the egg. I guess it COULD be possible to somehow use slot 00 (the trainer back sprite) for an additional pokemon, but maybe not...

Anyway, is the rollette in the game corner in? Are you going to finish the 3rd game corner game (the one that was unfinished in gsc)? Are you going to make the teru-sami that used to be the pokeflute (in rby) into the flute that wakes pokemon up? Why not just add more cities and routes in hoenn instead of a new region, I'd think it'd be hard to cram a new region into the same map as half of hoenn.

By the way, the ruby tiles look better then they did in ruby. Weird huh?

I heard cbm was using all 3 glitch pokemon, but then again, he may have had to use asm, like he did to add the new pokemon in brown.

How will you make wynaut and azuril obtainable? Are you going to make azuril only obtainable in the wild somewhere, and wynaut only catchable on mirage isle?

Check it out, I made a user bar.
http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6959/rsgs.png

how do you like it?

Melash June 26th, 2009 7:22 PM

Okay, time for some responses to some questions....
1. I really would like to add in the running shoes, and have it possible to hold down "B" to use it, just like in Ruby, however, I'd need someone to help me out with some ASM...
2. Cooley, this is a Silver hack!
3. I'm not sure about the unfinished card game in Gold, but I really haven't taken a look at it yet.
4. Once again, I haven't looked at the Teru-Sama that functions as a Pokegear, or the one that functions as a Town Map.
5. It won't be a full region, you'll be able to take a ship-ride to a part of a region. No more information for now...
Thanks for the support!

ShyRayq June 26th, 2009 9:44 PM

wow this is great Melash!
hope you can get this finished so we can relive Ruby...Silver style!

Pokemon12345678901 June 28th, 2009 8:12 AM

I have never seen a Prequel for R/S/E. It will be a good hack. Good luck! :)

Malkner June 28th, 2009 9:19 AM

Double battles sound like they would be difficult to program, but cross that bridge when etc. etc.

Jesus of Suburbia June 28th, 2009 9:31 AM

As soon as zI saw that it was a silver hack I knew it'd be a prequel. I'd like to help with most anything you need help with.

I meant poke-FLUTE. you know from rby.

Anyway,

I'd think the hardest parts would be the contests, how certain pkmn evolve
(nincada/feebass are examples)

A thing you should change is slaking's stats. It would be way too powerful for a regular pokemon without it's terrible ability.

About the sinnoh pokemon you're adding, are they going to be the evolved formes of hoenn pokemon (Roserade is an example) and possibly regigigas (the 4th regi)

Sleepwalker June 28th, 2009 12:05 PM

If this is now AncientEmerald, then you should edit the trainer card to show Juan instead of Wallace.

minchan June 28th, 2009 12:16 PM

Hey just wanted to say I like this hack's idea and I wish you good luck! Need any banners/graphics that don't have to do with the actual hack itself you can ask me. I make banners and userbars in photoshop.

I also do spriting but I kinda fail at that. XD

Anyway, good luck again, and hope this project succeeds!!

Melash July 1st, 2009 8:38 AM

Yes, I will edit the trainer card sometime soon, but it might be awhile before I post it up. Also, I've run into a slight roadblock. I've repointed some text blocks in the introduction, and now I continue to get errors when I reach certain points in the introduction. Basically put, there's ASM involved, and I really don't know any ASM. If anyone out there knows ASM, please contact me via PM, so the introduction can be fixed.

00kmilo00 July 1st, 2009 8:19 PM

hey, im checking all the days to see the beta because it looks very cool because i maybe can play it in my phone
but, did this hack will have double battles (4 example in liza&tate, u will battle solrock an lunatone together of one by one?)
anyway great job man

Satoshi Ookami July 1st, 2009 10:36 PM

This is very interesting idea... remake 3rd gen into 2nd gen game... I never thought that could be possible xD
I have to say you're great graphic since ya were able to put sprites like that :)

Melash July 2nd, 2009 8:59 PM

Hmm...I have a question for all of you. That is, should I release a Demo before I release an actual Beta? A Demo would probably only go up until the end of Route 102, but it would still give everyone a taste of what this hack will be like. To tell you the truth, you've still got a while before a demo, but I'm just asking.

Sleepwalker July 2nd, 2009 10:14 PM

A demo sounds good. You should release one.

Yeah Demo sounds like a good idea ;)

RyomaUchiha July 6th, 2009 9:44 AM

Well, an hack with the same idea of my hack, but my hack its a devamp of Pokemon Platinum.In the future I will make a thread of my hack here.Hey, I see your tree in Littleroot and it is equal of real tree, you use the cut tree tile too for this?

Melash July 7th, 2009 8:53 PM

Okay, I have decided that I will be releasing a short Demo before I release an actual Beta. In the Demo, you will be able to travel from Littleroot Town up until the Route Gate at Petalburg City. (Yes, I added a Route Gate in because of problems with map connections....)

However, in Beta One, you will be able to travel up until Dewford Town. When will the Demo or Beta One be released? Keep watching this thread....

Satoshi Ookami July 8th, 2009 3:56 AM

Great idea but I suggest that ya might do the first beta up to third gym :)

Melash July 8th, 2009 7:07 AM

If I was to do all the the first Beta all the way up until Mauville City, it would take MUCH longer. That's two very large towns that would have to be added in, plus several Routes, and other stuff, including the Trick House. Also, just as a side note, I finished working on a script that will allow you to travel underneath the Cycling Road on Route 110. G/S/C never had the ability to allow tiles to be overlayed on top of sprites through a regular script, but it was possible to do. Maybe I should post a video of it...

Sleepwalker July 8th, 2009 4:42 PM

Well thats cool that you found out how to walk over and under stuff in Silver. Good work figuring that out!

Melash July 8th, 2009 4:55 PM

Actually, if you must know, you're technically not walking over or under everything. I actually have to have two maps for that Route, the first one for going on the Cycling Road, and the other for taking the land Route. Through ASM, you probably could have a more direct method, but I really don't know any ASM....

Sleepwalker July 8th, 2009 7:28 PM

Oh, I think I understand. So when you enter the houses on that route that enter and exit the cycling road, you enter a different map for the bike ride, and if you don't enter those houses, your in a walking map?

BurstX July 9th, 2009 3:06 PM

wow im slow, melash im really happy to see the thread finally up, also i just got my computer back (it broke right when finals were over...just my luck) so im ready to start spriting whatever it is you need!

Yep, that's basically how I'm doing it. Seems to be the quickest and easiest way.

All right, I'll get to you as soon as I need some sprites done.

00kmilo00 July 9th, 2009 7:57 PM

Hey dude
i have a big doubt, will this game have double battles or just singles (because i dont know anything about hacking), and it have the cries of the hoenn or johto pokemon???

Imo it's impossible to put double battles, thing that was presented in 3rd generation, to 2nd generation game... but cries should be working.
But it's my opinion and it doesn't have to be right one

But it's my opinion and it doesn't have to be right one

The cries will be correct, but it will take some time to do that. As for double battles...at this point...no. Unless someone steps forward that knows quite a bit of ASM, it won't be happening.

I'm assuming your just gonna have the regular bike because it seems impossible to have the mach bike or the acro bike.

ill answer your stupid question lol. um no there probably wont be animations considering this is a hack of silver not crystal.

lucariofan July 11th, 2009 5:07 AM

Ill describe your hack in three words: Oh My God.

I totally NEVER knew a Silver hack could be hacked like that, It's just amazing O.o

Ah, you should make it a devamp of Ruby/Sapphire. Emerald has got things like animations and that.

But anyway, good luck with this hack!

PS: Melash, do you only have Littleroot town, or have you already done Oldale town, and the routes to Petalburg city?

Probably just the regular bike. However, that will be released in Beta Two, so who knows what could happen by then.

Thanks. I really think people shouldn't put down any older games, just because of their 'graphics.' Anyway, I actually decided to make this a devamp of Emerald and not Ruby/Sapphire, because Emerald has better graphics, more areas, and several more features that will be added in. Trust me, you'll be glad it's an Emerald devamp.

Also, I've finished the mapping up to Oldale Town, but I haven't done the events. Right now I'm working on fixing up problems with the introduction, and then doing the map connections.

And finally...
I really haven't released very many screenshots, mainly because all the graphics are getting a complete overhaul, and the screens would look retarded with the wrong palletes and whatnot. Anyway, here are two new screenshots:
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/test21.png http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/test22.jpg
The first is part of the introduction, and the second is what the titlescreen was going to look like. Yes, I know it says "Gold Version"

SonicBlazePlatinum July 12th, 2009 3:36 AM

Shouldn't the Pokemon be Rayquaza? This is an Emerald devamp.

If I could guess he just tried how it could look since that was Gold's title screen

Vrai July 12th, 2009 9:11 AM

As much as it is an Emerald devamp, I think the name AncientRuby sounds better than AncientEmerald. ;3

lucariofan July 12th, 2009 11:50 AM

Even if it's a Emerald devamp, it looks good. Also, the titlescreens looks just amazing, just like Ruby's one O.o

But, you should make the devamp in Crystal, I think it'll be better, but maybe there aren't so many tools for it.

And are you sure what Pokémons you're going to insert?

Anyway, good luck! :)

Let's see...I have a few reasons this isn't a Crystal hack. Mainly because Coolboyman told me before that the compression is much harder to work with. I also just feel more comfortable with Gold/Silver. Also, you could only catch 200 Pokemon in Emerald, so I'll insert those Pokemon, plus a few Sinnoh Pokemon. Please note that you will not be able to catch the Sinnoh Pokemon in Hoenn region.

00kmilo00 July 12th, 2009 9:00 PM

hey melash congrats 4 ur award of your hack
and another question (hahahahaha)
did the game have pokemon shiny????

Outlander July 13th, 2009 4:39 AM

woah this looks soo awesome =) I can't wait till a beta is released (if you plan to release one).

Megatron61 July 13th, 2009 1:13 PM

I will play this for sure I have played many red and blue hacks only some are good. But for silver and gold hacks I have only played two they were good but this looks spectacular :) good luck and I can not wait until it is up for download

Do you mean, "Will this game have shiny Pokemon implemented into it?" If so, then yes. I am planning on having at least one old legendary become shiny, (sorry no hints) and possibly adding in a new Pokemon that will be Shiny. No hints there also.

Thanks. There aren't many Silver/Gold hacks around here.

Anyway...I don't have any updates for you right now, but I'm working on fixing up the introduction to this game. I'll probably release a picture of the new titlescreen tomorrow. Possibly some other screenshots, but I don't know.

PokemonMasterX July 13th, 2009 7:49 PM

Interesting idea. Not that im against it, but why? I don't see a lot of people doing this. Then again, you said you can modify it to have all the pokemon AND have Sinnoh pokemon, and as such, that would be better since you said you can fix the cries, which you can't do in later games (alright, i think you can, but it's quite a bit harder)

Silver is definitely a better choice than Crystal in this case (much as I love Crystal). I haven’t compared the compression between them—though I would be surprised if they differ—but Crystal has less free space as well as more unused data that is difficult to decipher. Pokémon animations are also a pain to deal with, although they can be edited. Of course, your comfort level is the most important factor.

Satoshi Ookami July 13th, 2009 11:14 PM

Congrats on wining HotW :) Hope we can play it soon :)

ℜªℳ July 14th, 2009 8:52 AM

I thought KageX was doing trainer sprites. It seems the hero and heroine sprites are complete along with birch's sprite. Why was I asked to do those? o.0
Oyea- the pokemon sprites will be a little different, some of them will r/s/e devamps, others will be d/p/pt devamps (NOT d/p/pt exclusive pkmn, just r/s/e sprites from d/p/pt) and not just pallette changes but actual change in style to make the sprites look 2nd gen bringing back some good ol nostalgia ;]

Gratz on the Award too man ^^

Melash July 14th, 2009 9:32 AM

Darn, I don't have the titlescreen completely finished, so I won't be able to show you it today. I may possibly be able to release the picture later tonight, but I'm not sure.

Satoshi Ookami July 14th, 2009 10:04 AM

Hey no prob :) We can wait.
As for me I'm glad that that's last thing what has to be done :)

I actually meant release the picture of the new titlescreen, not the hack itself. Anyway, I have an explanation. I've been very busy with my new job, so I really haven't had time to do much hacking. However, I'm now going to have a 10-day vacation, starting today, so I'm going to have a lot more free time to hack. Will the demo be released in 10-days? Possibly, it just depends how things go. Don't 'expect' me to release a demo during this vacation, but I might.

Oh I see... I hope ya release it :) And I understand that job is very exacting on free time

Thanks for the banner, I'll add it to the first post in a bit. Also, time for some more information about my hack:

This hack will not be a 100% demake. In fact, many more features and events will be added in. Even in the Demo, there will be several easter eggs, and a handful of new events that you will be able to easily spot. There are some things that will be in the Demo that many of you will not be able to find without my help. Here are some examples of things I will be adding in:
Route gates (To help reduce the time it takes to make this hack, map connections are a pain)
Timed events (Yes, weekday events, and events that take place at only certain times)
Sinnoh Pokemon (You will be able to obtain two to three in Hoenn. They will NOT be wild Pokemon)
Those are just a few of the examples that will even be in the Demo. I hope you look forward to it.

No, there WILL be some Generation IV Pokemon inserted. There are 50 open slots, but some will be some Kanto and Johto Pokemon that will be included.

Kyo Wolf July 21st, 2009 9:11 AM

Wow this hack looks amazing. I can't wait to play this. Also, I didnt see this in the FAQ but, is there going to be new music inserted or normal GSC music?

ℜªℳ July 21st, 2009 11:06 AM

Emerald remix music would be so awesome-i wanna know too :o

Bloodmoon July 21st, 2009 2:27 PM

If I get anyone to get me the notes and tracks for Ruby, I can insert them. Maybe not in the Demo, but I'll probably also have some music from Pokemon Red ported over.
