If only I voted for this hack instead of that turquoise nonsense. Seriously I just played the demo the whole night, I have even beaten team rocket btw the storyline is so amazing but the clifhanger at the end killed me :(

tjwilliams24 April 26th, 2010 2:13 PM

is this game dead? just wondering it had a lot of potential

VGAura April 26th, 2010 5:36 PM

Of course not.

I just don't want to show anything until I have the entire next demo completed. That way, everything will be a surprise.

But, I will show a small preview once I finish spriting every main character.

ChrisTom April 27th, 2010 8:25 AM

Firstly Vrai, I was asking the creator of the game, not a fan.

Secondly, I'm aware that it is okay to step outside of the box for things. But stepping out of the box, stomping it, and then driving out into the middle on nevada before shooting the box with an grade 1-19 missile is NOT ok.

You've got to realize that there is a fine line between unique and rediculous. This is coming from a Lewis Carroll fan, so you know I think that your work is incredibly far fetched.

Also the characters in Koolboyman's and Zel's hacks were much more believable. I'm not saying you have to be perfect, but try a bit better.

The whole Twins thing should just go. I understand that him being a Cyborg is a very big part of your hack now, and that's okay. But I think it would make more sense if he was a clone or something. That would get me interested (but that's just me). I know you're busy enough as it is, but I thought you would like to hear my complaints to improve upon this. Thank you for your time again.

With all regards,

-ChrisTom

RuRuBell April 27th, 2010 8:41 AM

When I downloaded this, I was getting a bit tired of Pokemon hacks that were so similar. I really wanted something different and unique. Your hack was really a breath of fresh air, and it's really well done!

Keep up the good work! Eagerly awaiting to play more. :)

trebornosliw April 27th, 2010 9:39 AM

This sounds really good, and I very much like plot-intensive hacks; I'll try it out tonight.

tjwilliams24 April 27th, 2010 12:35 PM

well thats good it isnt dead. one thing i like about the hack is how it brings a twist into games not seen in other hacks

Sarcastic Prince April 29th, 2010 5:30 AM

It's awesome that this Hack's based off as a Cyborg, and stepping out of the box just makes
this Hack better, as it's unique. And what's wrong with the Ghost Twins?
They're perfectly fine. At least it has something to do with the plot.

Try to think of that, Chris Tom.

VGAura April 29th, 2010 8:17 PM

The cyborg thing is more of a byproduct of the story than a main plot point. (I hope that makes sense)

I'll admit, the story makes little sense in the context of just the first two chapters but trust me when I say that everything will come together in the second half of the story. (Chapter 5+)

Imagine if you played something like Chrono Cross or The World Ends w/ You only a quarter of the way through. The story wouldn't make a whole lot of sense that way. Not that Chrono Cross makes much sense after playing through the whole game either.


Now for the small preview since I FINALLY got done with all the character OW sprites.

You will be the ones to choose what you want to see.
You may vote between Aster, Kaius, Lilah, Sadie, the mysterious woman, or the Chapter 3 character Vivi.

Here are the front, back, and side silhouettes for each of those characters:
http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r414/llxarcxll/PkmnID/Sprites/Silhouette.png
I'll reveal the sprite for the one that gets the most votes in two weeks.

Dano_ April 29th, 2010 9:26 PM

Hmm, tough choice...

I'd have to go with Aster, as he seems to have the most interesting design.

shinbot April 30th, 2010 5:34 AM

where can i get pokemon aster and is it complete? atleast to the last gym

This is the wrong thread to ask this question.
There's no such thing as "Pokemon Aster".

If you ask me, I think you should reveal Aster's OW.
His design looks kinda interesting.

Ivysaur May 1st, 2010 4:17 AM

I'm going to vote for Three Question Marks, mysterious characters are always more interesting to see!

SonicBlazePlatinum May 1st, 2010 4:20 AM

I'm voting to see Aster's sprite, his looks interesting to me. Is the person with ???, the girl with Erika's overworld?

VGAura May 1st, 2010 7:29 AM

Yep, she's the one that pops up from time to time.

big NATE alpha May 1st, 2010 8:36 AM

I'm interested in seeing ???'s sprite, she's a very intriguing character, despite the fact that we know nothing about her. Second for me goes to Aster, and then Kaius.

Lati-Fan95 May 1st, 2010 12:00 PM

First, I couldn´t decide between Kaius and the mysterious woman. But I took her because I like her role and her character which is full of mysteries!^^ I actually found the Erica OW pretty siuting so I was very curious on whether the new one will do so, too, so I just picked the woman!^^´

violentiris777 May 1st, 2010 5:08 PM

This is a cool idea, having people vote. It keeps interest up, at least.

Kip May 2nd, 2010 7:40 AM

So here I an casually glancing at this thread for about a week and thinking 'That looks mildly interesting, I must give it a try'. Finally I had some free time, so I downloaded the first demo last night. When I first started it was about 10ish, and I thought I would play it for a about half and hour just to get a feel for it.

Fast forward to 1 in the morning and I'm still going. Absolutely hooked by the story - I just had to find out what happened to this guy. Everything about this game has been thought through very carefully (unlike most hacks) and you can really tell when playing it that a lot of hard work went into it. Very well done :) I love how it's not just the standard Pokémon story (i.e. battle, collect badges, fight league, complete dex), and it more character driven than developing your party and whatnot - in fact, it goes beyond that in that your character is watching someone else do that traditional quest from an outsider's perspective, which I have never seen before in a Pokémon hack and is a very nice touch.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love this game and am waiting on tenterhooks for the next instalment (no pressure!).

And now the inevitable constructive criticism. Mwhahaha! One thing that strikes me that this hack could have is some more emotional-evoking music - in some situations the standard FR music doesn't quite cut it. Have you considered some tracks from the Mystery Dungeon series (is that even possible? I don't know)? I know that music tracks are fairly low on the priority list but it's something you could look at when you've finished :)

Finally, I like this game so much I've had a go at a logo (which could double as a support banner).


I've tried to go for a different approach to most hack logos because this hack is so different, so the Pokémon logo has been dulled and has some lighting effects thrown in. Hope you like :) . It's fairly minimalistic at the moment, so any suggestions anyone has would be nice.

One more question: do you know yet if I will be able to use my current save file in the next demo or would I have to start again? Thanks. :D

Anyways, nice work. :)

conorizacorpse May 2nd, 2010 2:36 PM

I loved how your hack is more dialog based. It gives it a better RPG feel. Just wondering if you have a rough estimate how long it'll be till the next demo, the cliffhanger is killing me.

ChrisTom May 4th, 2010 11:03 PM

I've never heard of Chrono Cross or the other one.

Also if the Cyborg is a byproduct of the story then what is the point of keeping it in there?

Again, I think your hacking skills are superb and the way you tell the story is fantastic. But in my opinion none of that matters if It is too complicated.

*COUGH COUGH*J.J. Abrams*COUGH COUGH*Lost*COUGH COUGH*Cloverfield was okay but...*COUGH COUGH *

Esp1222 May 6th, 2010 5:20 PM

This is an awesome game! I hope the next Demo will be out really soon. The scripting is fantastic along with the mapping!

Good Luck on this. :D

You keep it in to keep it believable, sir. Think of something this way... say you have a purpose. A purpose to, uh, go to places really fast. So, what do you do? You go buy some crazy-fast sports car, yes? That likens to this 'overall story' we have here.

However, because you have that awesome hot rod, all of the ladies are attracted to you. It's a byproduct of having the hot rod. Even if your intention was just to get places really fast, the lady-lovin' is a byproduct and, no matter how much you don't want it to, it still exists. See, the thing is, you can't really make a point on removing the cyborg part of the story because you don't know the whole story yet. There's still much to be learned.

And sometimes complicated things are nice. To be completely honest with you, I love complicated things in a sense that I like to try to wrap my mind around them. Some other people are like that. Some people, presumably those akin to yourself, would think otherwise. It's all opinion, and opinion doesn't change things.

Also, I can probably assume you "weren't speaking to a fan", you were speaking to "the creator" or whatever you said in your last post. But, same as you do, I have the rights to express my own opinion. :>

VGAura May 13th, 2010 10:08 PM

It seems that the sprite that people wants to see is the mysterious woman.
Since you guys asked for it, here she is:
http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r414/llxarcxll/PkmnID/Sprites/PollResults.png


And a bonus, here's a single frame of Aster for getting second:


Edit: I made the sprites 4x larger before uploading it to photobucket so they could be seen much easier but for some reason, the forums shrinks them down

Well the mysterious woman's sprite is pretty plain but that of course adds to the mystery of her.

Aster so far looks awesome! I especially like the pokeball bandana and it would be wonderful if someone did concept art for him (I can't as I'm graphically useless).

Look forward, as ever, to Beta 3.

SonicBlazePlatinum May 14th, 2010 4:54 PM

A beta hasn't been released for Identity yet, I'm guessing you meant to say Demo 2 or something like that. I like the mystery woman's overworld! It reminds me of Sabrina's overworld somewhat.

chrunch May 14th, 2010 4:57 PM

Asters OW looks really interesting.
I really can't wait to see that.
And, like The Cynic said, the Mysterious women looks abit plain.

SkyAngel May 15th, 2010 1:29 PM

I think the mysterious woman's plainness just adds to the mystery :3 I do love aster's OW, tho. I was curious to see Kaius, however, just because it reminded me of Cyrus when i saw it. Oh well. Oh, and Pokemon Identity is, so far and for whatever it is worth, the best hack I've ever played. I absolutely loved it and hated the cliff hanger ending. Ah well, I can't wait to play the next part of it. :)

RuRuBell May 16th, 2010 6:47 AM

I voted for Sadie, but I love the mysterious woman's sprite. I think it suits her perfectly, from what I've played.

The Cynic May 16th, 2010 6:53 AM

Next up, if possible, I'd like to see Sadie's overworld. She'll be more cop-ified by now I presume.

LikeUberHackFan May 18th, 2010 8:23 AM

This Is the most Epic hack ever !!
how long till The whole thing will be done a dusted the total 10 chapters?
Hopefully not something obserd like 2012 :(

I love the game WAY more than most silly pokemon games and if your fixing things up could you put a fire stone somewhere so you can Evolve Vixie when you get him =D I wanted a Ninetails ♥

Also I'm not a fan of the helmets on the Female and male characters. Would you mind a little rethink of the sprites. I love drawing sprites and stuff so if you need any help/inspiration I would help you.
I seriously hope this is not dead :S I've played the Demo like 4 times now its so EPIC at my best my pokemon were like in their 30's at the time of my characters 'death'

Well I think VGAura would probably not make a Fire Stone available later than mid-way through the game rather than in the first few chapters. Besides, Ninetales dosn't learn any moves via level-up.

LikeUberHackFan May 18th, 2010 8:58 AM

Yeah Vixie did not learn much moves anyway, Maybe more TM's would be great. Or move tutors :)

The main's name is Id? Like Id from Xenogears? Or am I totally off the mark?

More likely named after the mind: The Id, the Ego, and the Superego.

Well that's what Xenogears' Id was named after, since he was a manifestation of Fei's Id :P

http://xenosaga.wikia.com/wiki/Id

VGAura May 20th, 2010 4:32 PM

I love Xenogears <3
But Id isn't named after the Xenogears character.

I just named him/her the way that Pokemon protagonists are usually named.

DoodleZ May 21st, 2010 8:07 AM

Aura I love the mysterious woman's sprite! It kinda reminded me of one of the sprites from Pokemon Red in the ghost tower
I cant wait for the new version to come out T_T, any unofficial basic date? Like November or something?

Chaos Rush May 21st, 2010 2:59 PM

I have to say, this hack is quite interesting. It doesn't feel like a FR hack, even though most graphics have been unchanged. I love how the plot is different from average Pokemon games, rather than, "Hi, I'm Professor Tree! Welcome to the world of Pokemon!" we get (I'm reciting from memory) "OHMYGOD UR GONNA DIE!!!!".

Also, some of the dialogue is funny. Like the one where it says something like, "To become a member, you need to see the president. In order to see the president, you have to be a member."

Do we ever find out why the protagonist was in critical condition during the intro, and why he/she's part cyborg?

VGAura May 21st, 2010 5:17 PM

Plot holes are the last thing I want in my story so you can count on everything "mysterious" being explained in one way or another.

About the release date for the next demo, I thought I already mentioned it at the end of the current demo. :\
December 31 at the LATEST.

Well I didnt remember since I tried it a long time ago [If you remember me - Ori]

SonicBlazePlatinum May 24th, 2010 2:29 PM

Are you going to update the screenshots on the first post with the new overworlds? I am just wondering...

VGAura May 24th, 2010 9:18 PM

I'll update the screenshots and the world map once I release the second demo.

Sarcastic Prince May 25th, 2010 12:39 AM

The Mysterious Woman's OWs and Aster's left frame OW is very awesome.
But does the Hero ever get a chance to know the Mysterious Woman's
name?

xDaisuke0 May 26th, 2010 1:55 AM

Up to the sewers and a bit confused, the Map doesnt really match the sewers, or is it just me? Where is the old man's store? None of the doors unlock ~_~
Or I cant read maps, and im stupid... ADDED: NVM, Figured it out x_x

Also, Amazing Hack, Love the original storyline and how the Character can finally talk :3
The new Starters are awesome and I just like the style and feel of it all. <3
Keep it up!

*Just finished the first Demo and it's awesome!!~ Can't wait for the next and is there anyway where you can start off where you left off? O.o

Scathe May 30th, 2010 4:49 PM

I tried to make a video playthrough of this for youtube, except I got too hooked and forgot to record some of it! This game is so great, the storyline, character depth, and everything! Hopefully my video coverage will shed more light on it and bring more people to play this amazing game! I can't wait until the next demo so I can see the overworlds, etc!

PS - If you need any sprites or anything I can try. I used to sprite and I know a bit about ROM hacking in general, so I can do some of that.

Kip May 31st, 2010 12:53 PM

More graphics!! :) I thought the logo I did before was a bit small, so I've bumped it up a few notches for you to see some more detail. I've also tried to make it look a lot darker (more stormy than overcast), and added a slogan - please tell me if it's too cheesy :P


I've also done some corresponding userbars for you lot too. The first one is still:

I just finished Identity a few hours ago, and I may be exaggerating a bit, but this hack is the best thing since sliced bread. Seriously, this is the best Pokemon game I've played since I brought SoulSilver. Keep up the good work!

Cool hack! but maybe you should need some new tiles, that would be great!

flavios June 2nd, 2010 4:58 AM

I have to say this hack is the greatest pokemon game i have played so far. After Platinum, SS and HG where a great disapointment and i thought that pokemon would go down hill from there. But after playing your hack, gotta say the future looking bright. Awesome hack, cant wait for the next release. :)

VGAura June 2nd, 2010 8:46 AM

Thanks for the new logo.

And I know I don't say this enough but thanks everyone for the comments and support.

LassLaura June 19th, 2010 1:14 AM

I'm not sure if this is really worth mentioning, but Suzie keeps referring to Vixie as a she but when you trade the Hoppip for it it's a he :\

Also, if Id has this super cool robo-body, he should be able to download HM data to it like he downloaded the Pokedex and running shoes upgrades instead of having to teach it to Pokemon like usual. I think it would be a pretty neat touch and not because I hate HMs or anything >.>.

VGAura June 21st, 2010 7:40 AM

You're right, Vixie is a she
I forgot to set the Vulpix gender ratio to 100% female.

Still, you must've been pretty unlucky (or really lucky) to get male Vulpix.


Something will be done when it comes to HMs since I absolutely hate HMs too (who doesn't)

Well it wasn't from lack of trying... I saved right before the trade and reloaded like 10 times and got a male each time. Now I just pretend that Suzie never checked Vixie's gender when she got it, lol.

I'd hate HMs less if the rocks/trees/boulders stayed cut/destroyed/moved so I didn't have to lug around Pokemon that know the HM moves to get around, but hardly any hackers do that. So I think having Id download them to himself as "upgrades" would be a good idea since it eliminates the need to carry around weak Pokemon, plus Id's wanderings may take him to places were it might be illogical/inconvenient to place a Pokemon Center or pc just to allow him to withdraw his HM-taught Pokes so he can progress.

[EDIT] I almost forgot, I found a glitch right at the end of the beta. I picked up the Dig TM after the rockslide was cleared, saved & quit, reloaded my file and the TM was back. I picked it up again, saved & quit to see if I could use this glitch to get infinite TMs and the emulator froze up as my file was loading. Luckily I save-stated before I picked it the second time up or I'd have lost my file D:

Orinjmate June 21st, 2010 2:56 PM

nice starters! I'm guessing you'll make it so ralts has an attacking attack by level 5.

ShinxO_O June 23rd, 2010 5:23 AM

I'm not sure if this has been hit on, but if you white out during the sewer part, or leave for any reason, then come back, then the bridge is stuck at the other side. Happens in a couple places.

Other than that, really great game. I love the character development that other Pokemon games seem to lack. That's why I always liked PMD.:cheeky:

VGAura June 23rd, 2010 9:14 AM

Sorry, the Dig TM is definitely a glitch, it's one of the things I forgot to take out before the launch of the demo.


Can you tell me where you got stuck in the sewers and whether it was before or after getting the warehouse key.
I thought I made sure you wouldn't get stuck when whiting out in the sewers.


The banners are in the front page.
Just copy the HTML code into your signature and it should work.

Chaos Rush June 24th, 2010 8:28 AM

I found a glitch in the beta, but I encountered it and had to restart a while ago, so I'm gonna try to remember it best I can:

In that one city where there's all those slums, plus the underground sewer with all the crazy people, after you find a certain key (I think) and enter a certain room (can't remember which) where you see that Lorelei look-alike telling you're too slow or something, if you press one of those circle thingies that changes tiles AND lose to one of those crazy people in the sewer after you get the key, you'll be unable to progress further since you pressed that circle thing that changes tiles.

It's hard to explain, but if I have the patience to get that far again, I'll take pictures.

this is a AWESOME hack i love the story i like the geneticaly changed starters who know tackle at level 5 (for ralts) and learn magical leaf.... love the backstabbing librarian looking girl idea...but for demo 2 do i have to go through it all over again because i saved in silver town after beating it........?
again awsome hack

Yuukihime July 9th, 2010 1:42 PM

This is a brilliant hack, I love the storyline and I especially loved going through the sewers. They had a very dark and sad feel to it and I felt so sorry for some of the people living in there. The plot twists also kept me interested in the game.

Keep up the good work. :D~

Jeez dude, have you ever made a hack before? Have you ever made a popular hack? If you have you would know how annoying it is to have someone breathing down your neck about progress. Relax.

I never would have thought that no one else would find that infinite masterball glitch for that long. In the southern part of Marine Harbor, use the walk through walls code until you see a sailor standing by a piece of old amber. Pick it up and you will get one masterball! The amber "regenerates" after one step and you can get another one every time.

I wish I can complete this hack faster, I really do but the problem with making such a story centered hack is the amount of dialogue I have to come up with in the main story along with the trainer and npc dialogues that every hacker has to deal with.

Not to mention planning and scripting story events and sidequests. I don't want them to be a wall of text, so the sprites onscreen has to be doing something while they're talking.

And I do everything by myself but I'm not complaining because that means I get full control over everything in the hack.

At least I'm pretty much done with spriting up to chapter 4 so that only leaves mapping, writing, and scripting.

I absolutely LOVE the Nostalgia Critic reference. "Change! You got change?" "Bum Chester would like to battle." I literally lol'd at that. I have one problem, though. I lost to Deputy Sadie, and when the pokemon center teleported me back in front of the house (where you get the key), I went downstairs into the sewers, but there wasn't a way for me to cross!

VGAura July 16th, 2010 3:09 PM

I think you can cross the bridge by going the other way around through the refugee area.

I know its troublesome so I'll be sure to change the respawn point next release.

lizardman974 July 16th, 2010 3:35 PM

Thanks! One question, though. Is the heracross supposed to be extremely difficult? I couldn't even get its HP down halfway!

tetrix1993 July 16th, 2010 11:17 PM

Your ROM is fantastic! I like the idea that people living in sewers, good one.

Tomackze July 17th, 2010 6:46 AM

How far does the demo go?

lizardman974 July 17th, 2010 11:20 AM

CRUD! I lost to Deputy Sadie a second time, and this time, when I tried to go back through the refugee area, this screen came up after going through the cave-area:

I can't even go back the long way! It is literally impossible for me to continue!

Until an Unown named "VGAura" within the game tells you you've reached the end.

...Stop losing?

Also VGAura, have you thought any more about what you're gonna do with Id and HMs?

lizardman974 July 17th, 2010 3:43 PM

When you say stop losing, you sound like it's possible for me to battle her again. Also, the only reason I lost the second time was because my Vulpix fainted halfway through the battle and I had already used the revive.

Flagella114 July 18th, 2010 4:58 PM

I just finished and it was great. i can't wait for the next one.

Outbreak July 19th, 2010 3:48 AM

incredible hack...i ove the story so mush
can't wait for the next update...:)

conorcorpse July 19th, 2010 2:45 PM

In the first pokemon center, if you walk to the right of the cushions on the right, you walk into the blackness and you can walk down a little ways. Kinda surprised no one saw that xD

The Shiny Psyduck July 21st, 2010 1:32 PM

Amazing hack! I downloaded the demo late last night, thinking I would play through the intro and continue in the morning, but I couldn't put it down! The scripted events are flawless, the plot amazing, and the game itself is fairly challenging, too. Can't wait for the next release!

MiniM00se July 21st, 2010 1:50 PM

I watched Scathe's LP of this, and it was awesome! I loved the plot.

I'm trying to download it, and I did. It comes as an IPS file. But whenever I try to open it in No$GBA, it gives me this:
http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af262/MiniM00se/417ce59c-1.png
And when I try on VBA, it says unsupported file type. D:

Is there any way I can get it so it's a GBA file?

The point of it being an IPS file is so you can use Lunar IPS and patch it to an actual ROM.

michelleiswell July 21st, 2010 3:53 PM

this hack is awesome! but just letting you know if you lose a battle on the last part of the sewers, the part where you have to fight the police officer, you cant get back to where you were. i had to use the walkthrough walls to get back over there.

Um... *Googles Lunar IPS*

I got the program, but I don't understand how to patch it >.<

EDIT: Nevermind. I got it.

I'm playing right now, and it is epic!

But I ran in to one Poocyena, and decided to catch it. But I accidentally killed it. And I can't find another. IS THERE ONLY ONE POOCHYENA OR SOMETHING? (Sorry, I've been trying for a while)

cipE July 22nd, 2010 3:09 AM

Amazing, just beat it a while ago. The story plotwise is amazing.
I haven't played any hacks like this even though I haven't tried that many hacks before.
The dialogue is great, the hero's character is great and I don't really have a bad thing to say about this.
This is probably the first hack that has compelled me to beat it just because of the story. It's even challenging, but maybe that's because I chose Machop in the beginning.

I don't know why you're losing, maybe your Vulpix is not at a high enough level. Honestly she was the easiest match up in the Sewer Chapter. I just used Vulpix to get rid of Heracross and my Machoke for her Aipom.

I really wish there was more, but I'll just wait until you release the next Beta.

burger29 July 25th, 2010 3:15 AM

How will the machoke evolve?

Pachikip July 25th, 2010 9:39 PM

I can say that I've never been mad to complete something before now.
That was amazing! I love the story breaking from the general Pokemon theme and it's just fun to play. Silent protag speaks! That's even better!
I can't wait for the next release-- I'll probably be playing with this one for awhile too!

Levelling up, maybe?

By the way, I hope it doesn't ends up like Pokémon Naranja (cancelled).

It evolves at level 36. All of them evolve like normal starters at 18 and 36. I tested this before I even started to actually play the game.

minime010 July 29th, 2010 5:28 PM

do you need a spriter? ill just do it for the fun of it if wanted. i just really want to see the completed Pokemon: IDENTITY. im replaying it right now i just have it minimized though.

chrunch July 30th, 2010 4:09 PM

I really can't wait for Beta 2. :3
Although I played it in back in January,
I think I'll play it again. :D

skyeatshelicopter August 1st, 2010 11:43 AM

So yeah this is like my first post. But anways, i thoroughly enjoyed this hack. The storyline and plot was incredible. I really liked how the intro flowed with character creation and all. There were really no flaws on this hack, it honestly kept me on the edge of my seat. I really hope for this hack to be completed. Rats off to ya! hahaha
