That's your opinion, but okay.

Go play Pokemon Yellow Version and then get back to me on that one.

Fun fact: you can change the overworlds through AdvanceMap. Though I don't see what this has to do with anything.

lol, Chesu. That's one of the best posts in this thread.

[EDIT] Update: New screenshot

Also, thank you for registering just to tell me this :D I feel special.

Nah, I joined so I could play Sacred Fire and some of the other games, but I guess I could see if you get better at hacking?...

It's gonna take more than hundreds of pikachu's before I take a couple of seconds of my time to download and patch this to clean rom, that's fer sure.

Maybe after moar story is added or something.

Gary, the Magic Fairy October 25th, 2009 5:25 PM

Update!

New screenshots!
Beta 3 Uploaded - You may now play as Pikachu!

Wow...all I can say is, is that this is the most epic hack ever. XD I've always dreamed of exploring a world as amazingly awesome as the Pikachu land of PikaKanto, and now...here it is! It takes a very unique sort of genius to come up with such a wonderfully creative idea =P

Seriously, though...it's clear that this hack is intended as satire, and I think it really is amazing how disingeniously you're going about it (and how seriously some people are taking this, lol ^^' ). If this were a genuinely serious hack, it wouldn't be anything to write home about - after all, if one were to judge solely from the surface without looking any deeper it's about as clever as those old graphical hacks from the mid-90's of Super Mario Brothers that replaced all the sprites with crude drawings of penises. But your tongue seems firmly in your cheek, and that's how I think this game, and this thread, succeeds - as a statement about the general poor state of the Scrapbox in general and about lack of innovation in hacking at large in particular (I saw that "hack Ruby to remake Ruby" thread too, and thought it was ridiculous ^^' ). By going so over the top in putting a Pikachu label on everything, and by presenting yourself as so very...earnest...it is truly clever. Even if it doesn't deserve Hack of the Year, it certainly deserves something for making us think about how we hack - and why we hack.

Massive kudos to you and I wish to see the epic levels of Pikachuness you can really bring this to. XD (Would you even go so far to replace all the dialogue with "pikapikapikachu?").

Well... Celadon Department Store sells evolution stones. I suggest you see what happens when you use them. Though for Fly... you should probably try looking around the power plant. Finding a Sun stone probably wouldn't hurt, either.

trebornosliw October 26th, 2009 3:46 AM

...This...is massively retarded.
But in a good way :)
I have to wonder though what kind of person sits up one day and goes "I know! I'll turn everything into a Pikachu!
Anyway, don't give up! This hack is a win through sheer monumental weirdness.

Hana~ October 26th, 2009 5:48 AM

This is officially the best hack EVER. I am absolutely AMAZED at the inutivity, creativity and humor!

I'll be waiting with suspense for the next Beta! ^_^

Besj08 October 26th, 2009 11:40 AM

looks good, really lovin the Pikachu lol

Gary, the Magic Fairy October 26th, 2009 2:09 PM

Update: Final Beta will be released by Wednesday, Final Game will be released by Friday. Possibly sooner.

Chesu October 26th, 2009 4:20 PM

Are you able to edit the Gengar/Nidorino intro? If so, I could probably make sprites for it.

Eh... I don't think I will. No one watches that anyways, so it seems like a lot of work for nothing. Thanks for offering, though :3

SharpPoint October 26th, 2009 5:17 PM

I seriously don't get it, at all. I won't even go into detail, because I'll just get a thousand blind people screaming 'This is the best hack ever' and 'You have no taste'.

I might as well take a clean FireRed, replace every sprite in the game with a mudkip, and create the second best hack ever.

NarutoActor October 26th, 2009 5:32 PM

wait so all you are doing is swamping overworld sprites? you need to change the maps and add some scripts if not I wouldent even consider this a "hack"

→goon October 26th, 2009 6:00 PM

THIS HACK IS TOO AMAZING K?
HOW BOUT ADD IN BALONN PIKACHU AND SRUFBROAD PIKACHU?
I CAN KNOT WAIT 4 MOAR.
KTHXBAI.

I don't particularly care what you consider a hack. I'm using hacking tools to modify a game, so I don't see how it isn't. And I'm not going to arbitrarily change the maps or scripts just to comply to your specifications of what a hack should be.

btw, I recommend both of you read this post: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=5260853&postcount=80

SharpPoint October 26th, 2009 6:18 PM

Why should I read a post of one of your fans, especially when she was obsessed with Pikachu before you even made this hack?

You obviously have nothing better to do than to replace sprites to attempt to make a hack. I actually respect newcomers who do more than replace sprites.

If you're trying to become a ROM hacker, that's great, but this isn't the way. Take that for whatever it's worth.

I'm not going to continue arguing over a hack anyone with a couple minutes of free time can do. Good luck with your slight edit of FireRed.

I totally agree sharp, this is a total insult to all hacks. I have been working hard on a actual hack that is doing okay the this thing comes along and pow!!! thousands of views and everyone's like: OMG HACK OF THE YEAR!, THIS IS THA BEST HACK EVA....etc. I mean no disrespect but cmon... any one with a few minutes of spare time can make this... unless you have like 300-400 different types of pikachu that replace all the other pokemon i will have to look away from this.

Because she understands what this is and what it's trying to accomplish, whereas you... clearly don't.

You guys are clearly missing the point. And who are you to say what people do like and don't like? And hey, this hack delivers exactly what it says. It's probably done more professionally than three quarters of the hacks in these forums.

Thank you. I guess some people are just... oblivious?

Also lol @ this being an "insult" to anything.

@Its probably done more professionally than three quarters of the hacks in these forums.
are you serious or are you pulling my leg? like all this person did was change a few minor parts of the game. though it is considered a hack it should not be. a professional hack includes : a original story, new feature, new region...etc. and if this hack becomes hack of the year... i cant even say it.... there is no skill needed for this hack is what im getting at.

heck i bet i could create a pokemon blue totodile : special totodile edition in the same amount of time this hack has been going on (though i wont i have a actual hack to work on)

Triverske October 26th, 2009 6:57 PM

Whelp, I might as well cancel all my hacks. You can't beat this.
