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! -MEDIA- 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. http://i38.tinypic.com/2mfaidx.jpg http://i38.tinypic.com/20tp5rq.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/25sbwd2.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/b3pqhl.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/2hgxz4l.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/2duilvk.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/210leer.jpg Please note that these screenshots are outdated, but may be somewhat valid: http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/battle1.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/root1.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/truck.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/trainercard.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/lab.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/battle-1.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/Dewford.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/truck2.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/GoldenRuby/truck3.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm92/Melash59/test21.png Movies: Here's a short preview of the introduction: Awards: This hack received Hack of the Week 71. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh139/oddigem/AncientEmeraldaward.png?t=1247432645 -THE TEAM- Spoiler:
-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:
-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. -SUPPORT- Banners: Here are the banners that have been made for this hack. I will accept banners from anyone: http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/2742/ubd5321.png HTML Code:

-FIN- 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. |
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. |
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.
|
^o^ yay. I'll be waiting in the shadows for the beta...
|
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 |
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.
|
Wow. A silver hack. I haven't seen a Silver hack. This game looks good.
Are you gonna have RSE attacks in it? |

clickable userbar, links to thread. HTML Code:
|
Yeah, it's finally up! I've seen this around on one other forum and in your sig, and have been waiting for a PC thread :P. It looks really promising ;)

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. |
Quote:
|
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?
|
Pokemon Emerald is one of my favorite Pokemon games so I voted for it.
|
Quote:
|
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.
|
So, which Pokemon are being left out to make room for the RSE ones? all the old ones?
|
Quote:
I was wondering, how will you do the Red Orb animation? |
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
|
did someone say they need a Need a banner???

|
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!
|
Ah. that looks better. you still have two screenshots the same though :P
and perhaps putting the last 5 screenshots on a new line? |
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!
~Fairytales. |
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. |
looks cool
il play the beta when its up |
Ahahahahahahahah!
I like the idea! Good luck with this! |
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. |
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. |
Quote:
Hmm? Yes, 200 catchable, but what about Jirahci and Deoxys? |
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.
|
Will you be able to implement running shoes into this hack?
and btw, i'm really looking forward to this, great job so far!! |
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? |
Quote:
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? Quote:
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? |
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! |
wow this is great Melash!
hope you can get this finished so we can relive Ruby...Silver style! |
I have never seen a Prequel for R/S/E. It will be a good hack. Good luck! :)
|
Double battles sound like they would be difficult to program, but cross that bridge when etc. etc.
|
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.
|
Quote:
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) |
If this is now AncientEmerald, then you should edit the trainer card to show Juan instead of Wallace.
|
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!! |
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.
|
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 |
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 :) |
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.
|
A demo sounds good. You should release one.
|
Quote:
|
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?
|
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.... |
Great idea but I suggest that ya might do the first beta up to third gym :)
|
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...
|
Well thats cool that you found out how to walk over and under stuff in Silver. Good work figuring that out!
|
Quote:
|
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?
|
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!

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??? |
Quote:
But it's my opinion and it doesn't have to be right one |
Quote:
|
Quote:
|
I'm assuming your just gonna have the regular bike because it seems impossible to have the mach bike or the acro bike.
|
mmmm, ok, now i haev another stupid question
pokemon crystal and emerald have pokemon's animations right??? the hack will have animations??? (i know that is an syupid question) xD |
Quote:
|
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? |
Quote:
thnx dude |
Quote:
Quote:
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" |
Shouldn't the Pokemon be Rayquaza? This is an Emerald devamp.

As much as it is an Emerald devamp, I think the name AncientRuby sounds better than AncientEmerald. ;3
|
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! :) |
Congratulations on winning hack of the week number 71. Here is your award.

hey melash congrats 4 ur award of your hack
and another question (hahahahaha) did the game have pokemon shiny???? |
woah this looks soo awesome =) I can't wait till a beta is released (if you plan to release one).
|
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

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. |
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)

Congrats on wining HotW :) Hope we can play it soon :)
|
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 ^^ |
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.
|
Hey no prob :) We can wait.
As for me I'm glad that that's last thing what has to be done :) |

Infact I love your hack so much... i made you a banner :) http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee268/07harris/bannerforemerald.png?t=1247914476 Keep Hacking! :D |
Quote:
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. |
Are there Arceus in this game?

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?
|
Emerald remix music would be so awesome-i wanna know too :o
|
Are you gonna have secret bases? It seems hard to place those in Silver.
