Pokemon Redemption
 
1 Attachment(s)

Introduction


Hello all! This thread is for the hack Pokemon Redemption. I'm josh354 (You can call me Sully.) My co-owner is adamb241. (You have to ask him what he wants to be called.) I came up with this idea some time ago, but I never had much time to work on it until recently. I started scripting and mapping (very, very, poorly), and I liked the outcome enough to get some others to help work on it with me. This is what we have now.


Technical Stuff:
Hack Name: Pokemon Redemption
ROM Base: Fire Red BPRE
Creator: Sully
Co-Owner: Adamb241



Story




Prelude (Contains Some Spoilers)

Spoiler:
60 years ago a scientist lost his wife in a tragic accident. Unwilling to let her go he decided to try and do the unthinkable, bring back the dead. After years of intense study, he finally discovered how he could acomplish his goal. There existed a single Pokemon whose power could be used to restore his lost wife, however, this Pokemon had not been seen in decades and many regarded it simply as myth. In order to capture this creature the scientist gathered an elite team of trainers and named them Team Aevum. Word spread throughout the region of the scientist's goal and the people did not like the idea of tampering with death, but the scientist refused to let the people stop him. What started as a harmless mission soon turned into a war as Team Aevum began to mow down whoever tried to get in their way. One day the champion of the region decided to take action. Instead of facing Team Aevum he devised a way to spoil their plan. He found this legendary pokemon and captured it. Knowing that Team Aevum would come after him next he made the ultimate sacrifice. He left everything behind and made his way to a nearby region. Once there he found a hiding place for the Pokemon and released him, then he settled down in the saftey of a small town. Team Aevum's plot was foiled and so they withdrew from the region and into the shadows, plotting their revenge against the heroic champion.

Present Day

Spoiler:
"Breaking news out of the ESTILLE region. Team Aevum has resurfaced with an unknown new scheme! Leading them is the current champion who mysteriously disappeared months ago. His followers each have unusually powerful Pokemon and are making their way through towns kidnapping the strongers trainers. Most gym leaders had time to find a safe place to hide but a couple weren't as fourtunate. As of now there are no further details on what they want or why."

Spoiler:



The news reporter broadcasts this to the MAIESTAS region, located across the sea from the ESTILLE region. You are safe in your home, or so you think. One day after running an errand for your grandfather you are attacked by a member of Team Aevum. You are saved by your friend, the local gym leader, and rush home to check on your rival and grandfather. Both are missing. Your friend shows up and tells you that they are headed toward ESTILLE, but you can't go because you don't have a Pokemon for protection. Luckily, your grandfather had picked one out for you, and so you make your way to ESTILLE. Once there you try and find clues on the whereabouts on your grandfather and rival. Your investigation leads you to a gym leader hiding from Team Aevum. You talk to him and agree to fight Team Aevum as you look for your grandfather and rival!

Become a trainer,
Fight for their lives,
Fight for your survival!

Bugs & Glitches

(In order from most needed to least needed)

That's all I have for now :D.

I was asked to be assigned as a spriter. I WAS the spriter of the older project, after all.

Oh, and if you're including beta testers on the credits list, I should be in there, too, right?

I agree with DG, this is better than shiny gold.
But I'm stuck, I've got the password for the cave, "start".
But the guard says "INCORRECT!".
Is it the end of the alpha?

At this point, I don't know if I should spoil that to you or let you find out on your own, but this is NOT the end of alpha. The password's name is "start" for a reason.

Thanks for the compliment, but you have to remember that Shiny Gold is a remake. That makes it hard to compare the two because they are two different types of hacks.

And like NiKa said, that isn't the end of the alpha. Be creative with your thinking and you will figure it out eventually :D.

orly? shiny gold is nothing near the quality of this. Also you can compare it, who gives if its a remake? it's still a PKMN game :)

But on the other hand I played redemtion the entire alpha...and found quite the amount of gliches ^^'
I'll post em on our sercret place k *hint hint nudge nudge, umbreon*
they are all minor script typos, script you forgot to write in stuff :D
Maps were excellent :) but that route where you meet nadia, in my opinion, was way too long thats one huge map u had there ^^'

thats all

PS. PKMN 4EVA!!!

I'm glad you liked all of the maps, most of them were mapped by me. The Nadia one really isn't that long, but thanks for the comments.

your welcome, And it is very long in game play particularly because sully decided to put in cut trees to block our way making us go the long way :P

zein February 3rd, 2010 6:07 PM

Mmmm...the hack are really good,but i dont like the palettes,the maps are great! i like the history...in general is very good looking, although I think you might try changing some pallets.

Hmm.. What in particular don't you like about the pallets? The colors? Glad you like everything else.

Well I believe the pallettes are just fine. If we change the pallette on anything, the tree for example, it wouldn't "go" with the rest of the pallettes. On the other hand I think master of puppets WANTED to make the pallettes abit dark :/

Zein was probably referring to the livingness of the palettes. If you ask me, looking at a screen that is taken out in the open, the only lively thing that I see is the overworlds. The rest seem dead green or dead brown. So, as palettes they're great, but imo don't fit with the overworlds 'n' stuff.

So we have 3 options,
1) Change the pallettes to be more "lively"
2) Change the OW to be less lively
3) which is where you come in and make some :P

DrFuji February 5th, 2010 3:58 PM

Huzzah! I spy a small part of my map :D

I'm not really a fan of the No-Gyms-Until-You've-Finished-The-Game idea unless you've changed it since we last talked about it, but I guess its just me. Also, that kid who says "Are you crazy" in the Screenshots doesn't have blue text like all of the other manly men in the game :S

Anyways, I wish you luck with this, and I am always standing by ready to help, if needed.

Nice eyes in spying your map. Yeah, I understand not liking that certain part. Trust me though, just because there aren't "gym battles" doesn't mean there won't be plenty of tough challenges to overcome on your way through the story. Thanks for the feedback :D

chrunch February 6th, 2010 3:04 AM

Finished the alpha...
Very clever password...
I wont mention why here, so I don't spoil it for others, but maybe you should change the password to 'Enter'.;)
