Pokémon: Sea of Dreams [HairyPandazInc.]
 

Storyline
What is this about?

Chaptered story! Continuously updated currently* MASSIVE SPOILERS
Chapter 1: New Kanto Intro
Chapter 2: The Orange Islands. Step 1
More to come...

Prologue
Kanto, ahh yes the familiar region of that in which you see when ever you may play your dusty old copy of Firered or the newly released rom of HGSS. Well this story mainly relates to the anime series which the original RBY and the new Firered and Leafgreen made a spinoff of. A very special trainer by the name of Ash Ketchum whom in our know timeline was the source of good in a time of corruption and hate through out the Pokemon world. The story of his struggle to become the Pokemon master and defeat whatever evil stands before him. But oh no, this timeline was different. A lot was the same but the trainer from the town of Pallet was not yet what you knew him to be... He was growing a reputation with Rocket and how he defeated them at Mount Moon and such that they devised a plan against him in this world. A plan which would not only take a massive turn in the timeline we know, but also give you the opportunity of greatness. Ash's mother was in a state of pure shock when the news spread and sought the world renowned Professor Oak for guidance. As Oak started Ash off he was one of his biggest fans. As his own grandson was another one of those who disappeared during the path to fame. Those who knew what happened kept silent. Those who kept the secret, well lets say they kept at it. Smuggling trainers and stealing Pokemon were a new thing to the region of Kanto. While other region's such as Hoenn were stricken by it far less then the new powerful force which hit Kanto hard. But how do you play a role in this? What did Oak do about all of this? All of these questions you may find out by reading the chapters which are up thus forth, and/or waiting for the game to be released!

And yes, once you finish the Orange league, you will be able to go through the new fully revamped and remapped Kanto!

Well, the song is really catchy :D
Unfortunately, there's not much to comment on right now. I'll check in again when you get some screenshots/more information up.
One thing I would like to know is what features you're planning on adding using ASM.

Yeah, I understand. With ASM we intend to implement some fun little minigames so we will need ASM to add things like timers etc. Also with ASM it may be needed for some of our big scripts.


Updates
What's Cookin?

*This map is OLD* I bring you "New Vermilion City"! The fully revamped and updated Vermilion. As this is another dimension, towns, cities and routes might look a bit different. (Tiles still need to be inserted.) Click on the "Link." button in the center to go see the map.


Oh yes, forgot to add something! The double building thing on the top left is where you start. One side is your father's shop storage. The other your mother's shop storage. Both of their shops have relocated to Saffron and been put in to the MegaMart. Which is part of the StarLinerMall which replaced SilphCo after it was exposed as a Rocket hideout by Professor Oak who lives in Pallet Town with his world class lab.

Beautiful CSS? Nice appeal

Good luck ;)

This looks great
any idea how long it would take?

Matteron (96) November 2nd, 2009 12:33 PM

0.0 nice CSS, and finally more ASM events, nice story, one thing, TILE ERRORS, I know, I know, you did not insert tiles, but you could at least fix your tile errors, you can even see them in your preview of vermilion.

Thank you very much :). On how long it takes, not really due to all my time restrictions

I inserted a bunch of new tiles and fixed New Vermilion. I will post it in a later update.


Updates
What's Cookin?

Here is the new Route 6. Yes, it is a pretty large change considering the original. But as I stated before it is another dimension. New Kanto will be better then the old! Also notice the new tiles ^^


Also, Route 6 will not be playable until you get your pokemon from Oak. The way you will get to Saffron at first is yet a secret lying within New Vermilion.

we need 2 no

Quest November 4th, 2009 1:24 PM

Very nice hack the storys pretty good and the maps so far are awesome

Matteron (96) November 4th, 2009 4:40 PM

My eyes!...they are healed? Wow nice tiles Panda(can I call you that), major improvement one the tiles, and as always nice map. I can tell this hack has much potential, probably will win hack of the week, or even month, and if you are really lucky...YEAR!!!

Edit: At times I wonder, why can't Nintendo learn from these hacks?

Tropical Sunlight November 5th, 2009 6:17 AM

ooh, tiles... so fresh... so pretty...
Also I like your thinking, using "sea" in the title...
Good luck!

Ray Maverick November 5th, 2009 12:04 PM

Name rocks; awesome hack, Panda.
The map is a little too plain, but the tree/path placement get's 9/10.

Good luck with that, i hope you'll stick with it.

~Teh Panda~ November 7th, 2009 10:52 PM

To Mod: Move me out of the scrappy box :)

Onto post... spoilered for message size!

Spoiler:
First non CSS post :(. Well this is not really an update just a check in and going to say some minor changes which I plan to make.

As of right now the first beta is looking to be posted up around a special day. Now don't get to excited. Planned dates sometimes do not work out but I hope I can deliver on this one. More info will be released at a later update. I have updated Vermilion to fit its new tiles. If you have an account on TPW you may have seen my post of the Route connected to Vermilion. Another thing holding me back from working would be school. I really have set a lot of goals so I could do my best in school and do not want this to come in front of anything. Another thing to state is also I will be busy with other real life things so don't expect me to be hacking everyday (I know, I wish i could simply push this out as fast as possible.). I have some pretty big breaks coming up though on the lighter side^^. I will have a lot of time then to hack and consider real life social events as well with friends etc.

Now for the hack itself...
I plan to implement some new features to Vermilion which will be pretty unique such as some new scripts. A ferry system which has tiers of traveling rights. As you gain respect it opens up more places to visit. At the end of the game you will receive chances to go to some special places which host very rare Pokemon. I may also create a karma system? This would mainly have to do with how you respond to questions from peers. But that is only if I have the time and would definitely not be in the first beta! Also I have some story changes so it will give you a better understanding... Here is a timeline of events which basically summarizes the stories beginning up to the ferry...

Vermilion/Safron beginning

  • Start in Vermilion in your living quarters above parents shops storage
  • You need $3500 to board ferry to Pallet Town for your meeting with Oak, you only have $3000. So you deliever some packages for your parents to the shop
  • You cannot go through the route though due to not having a pokemon
  • You find the secret underground path from Vermilion to Safron.
  • Little did you know this path was really Rockets...
  • You escape Rockets clutches and inform Officer Jenny's sister who works in Safron. Officer Henny... (orginal... or not? XD)
  • She takes care of it and takes you back to Vermilion safely through the passage.
  • You make your way to Pallet via ferry

So what do you think?

Now for Pallet Town. Oak will escort you and the others to his lab on the hillside (yes finally his original anime lab in game and a real size Pallet Town!). You patiently wait to receive your Pokemon as you see everyone else receive theirs. Finally you are the only one there. Oak calls you up and takes you to his backyard which consists of his private Pokemon paradise. He had reserved a special Pokemon for you. But why was this? He saw something in you (for more info on this read post 1). So he introduces you to a level 10 male Laprus. Now you can continue on from post 1 completely!

Thank you for reading :)

Satoshi Ookami November 7th, 2009 11:27 PM

That is really good... it looks as a interesting start...
Nice idea :)

Aljam November 7th, 2009 11:38 PM

:O :O :O cool! I really like this hack panda. but why are the default trees in the vermilion map? is it just old?

Tropical Sunlight November 8th, 2009 10:06 AM

Matteron (96) November 8th, 2009 12:20 PM

Your maps are seriously sexy panda. They work wonderfully with the tiles too, kudos on that. Luck k?

Sarcastic Prince November 9th, 2009 4:46 AM

Your maps are cool, Panda. Wish you the best luck in this as it has potential.

Aljam November 9th, 2009 4:50 AM

Sexy maps are sexy. Would love to see more sexiness.

~Teh Panda~ November 10th, 2009 7:17 PM

Alright, I am going to in the next 4 updates release a chapter by chapter update sequence. In this update I will be releasing chapter 1 which is going to be about your introduction in New Kanto! (It will be known as simply Kanto in the game) Here we go!


"Well now, hello there aspiring trainer! I see you have interest in the world of Pokemon? Please let me introduce myself! I am the famous Professor Oak of Pallet Town. My lab is open in a few days for my annual Pokemon give-a-way for those young trainers whom want a start from the best. Now sorry for sounding so assured of my position but over the years I feel I have earned the right of this reputation here in Kanto and beyond! Thank you for reading this message and I hope to see you all at my lab in those couple of days." Copyrighted by Professor Samuel Oak

"Wow mom, can I go? Can I go???" The young trainer yells
"Fine honey! You will need money for your journey though, as of now you don't have enough to pay the $3500 ferry fee! I will pay you if you help deliver these items" His mom replied

Chapter 1: New Kanto introduction
As you take the packages you remember that their shop resides in Saffron and you must travel through a Pokemon infested route in order to get there. You quickly tell your mother and she informs you your father may know another way there. You quickly go to your father and find out there is a secret underground path from Vermilion (you start in Vermilion) to Saffron. Actually the whole region is full of these. He has not travelled it in years though and warns you to be careful before your embark through it. Rumors of Team Rocket engulfing a region silently had been spreading and a thought races through your mind wandering if they could be using these paths. But that thought quickly slipped out of your mind. As you look around for this place you see a mysterious building which you have never really noticed. You realize this is it. Inside you find an elevator which leads you underground to a path which goes south. You Go up some stairs into what looks like a storage room but has odd some odd inscriptions written on various parts of the wall. Probably just some punk who thought he was cool put them there. You exit the building and find yourself at those storage buildings which you thought were abandoned. You make your way to the second building. Once you enter you find yourself in some sort of conference room. The smell of something you don't quite know was in the air. You continue walking until you find yet another elevator. This time when you exit you find yourself in an underground alleyway with a large amount of noise in it... Who was in there? You step around the corner to see a large gathering of Team Rocket Grunts! you quickly step back and you need to find another way through... An air duct! Ahh, the classic movie get away. You spot one near the elevator. You quickly kick it out and enter the duct... You make your way out on the other side and in relief the grunts have not noticed a thing. You quickly make your way out in to Saffron. Fresh air kicks in and you remember what you set out to do! Deliver a package to the MegaMart in which your mother and father's shop resides. While your there you stop by Officer Henny (whom is Officer Jenny's sister) and tell her of the secret Rocket hideout. She quickly sends her police force to get them (Squirt Squirt XD). So now with a clear path back your head on home to claim your money and get on that ferry. As you receive your money your father tells you he himself is off to the Orange Islands for work. He wishes you luck and goes off. You say bye and then bye to your mother and make your way to the ferry. As you board you pass by a familiar face. A distressed Bill who is now world famous in his extensive studies and inventions which are Pokemon related like the PC! You wander what is the matter with him but you quickly are returned to your main focus! Your first Pokemon! As you reach Pallet Town you notice many of trainers have already received their Pokemon... You rush in and are told to go to the back by an eager Samuel Oak. As the line keeps shrinking you can't help but notice that Oak keeps looking at you with an odd expression. You had never experienced something as awkward as this as you think it is a tad weird. Oh well, at least you are getting your Pokemon soon! As you reach the front of the line. Well you were last so there is no more line. But there are no PokeBalls left? What happened! You were about to say something rude as Oak tells you to step outside to his garden with you. Woah! Look at all those Pokemon! He leads you over to his prized Laprus. What was this for? He reached for a PokeBall and captured in the Laprus. Then he handed you the ball and began to explain what he saw in you. He saw a sparkle, something which he barely saw now a days. One year back a trainer from his home town of Pallet Town by the name of Ash Ketchum had the same thing. But he has now become lost. Oak did not bring this to your attention yet, he needs to test you first. He says to check in after you explore a bit and get used to the Pokemon in which he trusted you with. As you venture out you notice that you did not have money to get back to Vermilion. You go back to Oak and he gives you 4 "nuggets" to sell up north at a mart. Then you will have money to return to Vermilion. On your way to the mart on Route 1 a strange force overcame you and you passed out...

To be continued in detail like this in the next update!
Next update: Chapter 2, the Orange Islands. Step 1

Oh, nice and shinyez Panda.
I love the story and the maps, they have that flair to them.

Chimchar 9 November 11th, 2009 2:03 AM

I guess you did take my little tip in that map.;)
Anyway, everything looks like it's going well.
Good luck! :)

Masterge77 November 11th, 2009 4:30 AM

I love the story, but isn't the Orange islands a little overdone? Either way, Keep up the good work
