This is my first hack so i would like to see what you guys think. Story In this game there are two teams one is known as Team Dusk who has found a way to make new Pokémon more powerful than the originals. They are mutating Pokémon to bring out their true potential. As a side effect of the mutations a new Pokémon type is created. This type is Demonic, but in a accident in the facility some of the "Experiments" have escaped. The other is Team Pure, They are trying to eliminate Team Dusk and the easiest way to do that is to destroy their work, but their methods arn't the nicest. You live in the town of Sainar and that is where you start your Journey, but you soon find yourself mixed up in this struggle over power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Features (this is what the end result will have) progress legend Spoiler:
S New region F New starter triangle S New Hero\Heroine sprites (intro and Trainer card images replaced and starting OW insertion) (credit goes to AuroraHearts for her awsome sprites) S All possible battles will be double battles F Evolution Overhaul (all evolutions are extended to remove that endless haul to lvl 100) N New legendaries (preview in screen shots) N New Pokémon type : Light and Demonic F Running inside F Ability to buy Ether’s at the pokemart F Get national dex right away (note this is in < 0.3) S Will catch all 2 gen starters (not nessiraraly in the way you expected) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Screen Shots Spoiler:

Update Arcive 0.3 Spoiler:
0.4 Spoiler:
|
I can help map. Also, I can change the evo. line and moves a pokemon learn and at what level.
|
what can I do with that file (Aps) -> I don't know how to use that beta
|
You use a program by hackmew called A-ptch you can get it from here. You will need a rirered rom to patch and that is it have fun with the teaser. Please tell me if you find any bugs
@sceptile I think i am fine for mapping sorrry but thanks for the offer |
yay! this thread is back ^_^
ive finished one of the sprites, i just need your "ok" on it or i need you to tell me if it needs improving in anyway ^_^ but i have no idea how to send it to ya :3 if you want i can draw em out for you first, like the game art kinda thing.. oh n are you gna have demonic versons of a pokemon? like for example, a normal pikachu, then a demonic pikachu? ps - when you do get the sprites, use a programme called unLZ.gba to import the graphics into the rom :) |
Looks good
exepct the player in a screenshot is on the walls/mountain bit |
@AuroraHearts (man i hope i spelled that right) Great to hear you can send the sprite via PM i think. Demonic? Yes i am going to do that sort of thing. I have a friend who has done a few already. I have already used unlz before so hopefully i can use it properly. Can't wait to see the sprite :) Tell me if you can't send it that way.
|
yup you spelt it right ^_^
mwaha, you should check your emails again i tried to make the guy and girl look similar with each other so that people who play the game wont think that ones better lookin than the other hope your ok with the designs :3 |
Erm... isn't the Dark type already sort-of demonic? Houndour and Houndoom are based on demons, as are Nocil, Lacefer and Malidist in my hack.
|
Quote:
*maybe demonic pokemon are an even stronger version of dark pokemon? we'll never know unless we play it :) |
right now im not going to say anything about the demonic/light but if you make some connections then you might be able to predict somthing from the 1st post.... crud did i really just do that.
@AuroraHearts I am going to try inserting the sprites in now wish me luck @everyone else (and mabye aurora) I have with much medeling finished the first city and GYM expect a new teaser soon! |
The organisation of the first post is a bit messy.. The "bugs" section, it's unclear if you actually still need help fixing them. Therefore, I shall attempt.
It seems the "bugs" lie in the scripts. The pre-made scripts don't know your new professor is called Flint, so you have to change said scripts. The Unlimited-Paralyz-Heal, that's like a flag problem or something. (I haven't spent long enough scripting yet, so I can't give a definate answer). It's the script, anyway, so examine it. Now, my comments. The maps need work, in my opinion. There's far too much blank space around the player's house there. The foresty/routey one, in the second and third screen, is... Poor, frankly. The trees are randomly placed, as is the grass. "Natural mapping" has turned into an excuse for those who don't want to spend much time mapping, for the majority of people. Look, you could barely take two or three steps without walking in tall grass, which would get old fast. Anyway, the screen beneath those is an edit of route 1, I'm willing to bet. If I'm right, my advice is this... When starting a new map, wipe out the original with the black tile, first. That way, you're not inclined to stick to the guidelines of the original map, making yours unique, and new. The starters work. I know this because I've used those exact Pokemon in a previous hack, but I've reverted to the official type-triangle, so you're safe :D Ok, good luck. |
The bugs i have listed are fixed for the next version i left them there so people wouldn't name them. I do actually use the blank tecknique but it is still hard to remove the overall feeling. I don't quite understand what you are saying in most cases you can't take any steps without hiting grass.
|
Awesome you've a story to it now. Good luck~
|
Ok guys teaser 0.2 is up. There are quite a few bug fixes and the first gym has been added once again please report any bugs.
O and btw i am trying to decide which type the next gym leader should be and their name. Do you guys have any suggestions? |
oh i have an idea!
the next gym leader can be ice, and he could be called Kai? coz i like that name, its cool... like ice ;) *and cold... like my jokes... very cold XD |
would you be able to make the beta an attached file please? i can't open spoilers.
|
sounds good i will add it along with my lame name for the first gym leader
@alta no prob one sec um i removed the spoiler tags is that ok |
Hey! If you still need an idea for a gym leader, how about gym leader Iris, a grass type leader? Iris means rainbow in Greece, so I would say her badge would be Rainbow Badge, but Erika stole it :p
|
I like that i will add it to the list. btw is there any pokemon you think they might have
|
I can help in regards of building Pokemon teams for the gym leaders.
|
Quote:
|
I like those they are good suggestions. don't be suprised if they show up in game :D
|
I've finished writing the Gym Leaders teams. I included the Pokemon vietazn654 wanted as well, aside from Roselia. I wanted to give the game a more Kanto/Johto feeling rather then Hoenn. Sorry. >: (
- Oh, and I also changed Gym# 7 to a Water based team if that's okay with you. ^^; |
I played more of this. And, why is the hometown so large? I think you should make it smaller. And you need to fix some grammar... And some places in this hack are larger than it needs to be... I could help if you want :)
|
oh I got a name for the dark gym leader. Kiernan, the name means the dark powerful one.
|
OK good name :) will add it
@vietazn654 I intended the world to be larger to have moe to do. That is why i gave the character the running shoes at the start. As for grammar If it wouldn't be too much trouble that would help. For maps I am mapping out the region first and will go back after to change anything. I also have a friend who is going to review the maps and change things if they need changing. If you have any suggestion fire away. If you want to help that would be great what aspect where you thinking of helping with? EDIT: scripting totidile event. Will release a new teaser when done. Still looking for gym leader names. EDIT: saving room so i don't double post XD add names EDIT: @Rozen I don't know.... It might take away the feel of the game. I will think about it and there are always the posibility of "Elite 4" Edit: Important! I have got the Totodile event up and running! I just have to do a few OW and insert them. Will be done within the weekend! |
Quote:
|
You should name the 8th Gym Leader "Neon". D:< You deserve some credit!
|
Hi, everyone I decided to play a bit of my own game and found that in MT. Shadow the warps don't work XD I have fixed it and release it once i have inserted the Totodile OW. For team dusk they willl remain Team rocket OW for a while as i haven't made ones yet. If no one else posts i will edit the tread with the link without posting again so check back.
|
Hi everyone I have uploaded teaser 0.3 along with that i have uploaded some pictures previewing the update.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=41767http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=41768http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=41774 This update comes with the Totodile event. Demon TOTODILE is a fully functioning character with Front and Back sprites, his own stats, new pokemon menu icon and dex entry. I have also made Over World sprites for the event so i hope you all like it :) I have also fixed the warps in MT. Shadow so you can actually get through it :) btw i am also looking for ideas for the Elite 4 so please make your suggestions. If you have an idea please put it in this format Name: Type: POKEMON: I am also looking for an OW spriter so if you want to help please post here or PM me |
I kinda like the story and how you mix up in the fight between two teams, and from the looks of it, this hack do have some potential.
I'm looking forward to more updates, and I totally love that demon Totodile xD Best of luck! |
rlly... i'll play it when i have enough time. :) i cant wait to play it. good luck on teaser 0.4... btw...
Name: Bust Type: Steel Pokemon: Steelix, Magneton, Skarmory... Most of them are Hoenn, but I know you only want Kanto/Johto pokemon :p ~ |
actually that was rozen and now that you get national dex straight away all pokemon are fair game. btw i like that one down 3-4 to go XD
btw I have been having this problem where in certain areas having wild battles\pokemon menu will cause you to swap sprites with certain characters and make you unable to move more than 2 steps. I really need to fix this. do you know what the problem is? |
Cool! I'll play the game when I get the time! And I'll support this hack also! :)
|
Ah, Neon I've been meaning to ask you if you'd like me to write the Elite 4 members. O:
I can make them extra challenging, just PM me. |
Rozen that would be great!
and thanks guys for the help and support i really apreciate it :) |
I'll start it soon; it'll be sent to you by tomorrow [I've work to do today]
EDIT: @vietazn: What Pokemon didja want? Remember only 5. :] |
Quote:
|
Yeah, I've already added those Pokemon to the team, but what other 2 does he want?
BTW. You should add a poll asking whether or not all battles should be double battles. |
I would if i could but it won't let me create a new one :(
also he didn't say anymore so i would go ahead and make some up |
Ah, sorry I won't have the Elite 4 done today, I have like 2 pages of math problems for tomorrow. ;w;
|
That's fine It's not like i will need them for a while :)
|
your starters are like mine exept machop is tyrogue
|
Ya tyrogue is probably better as his stats arn't as high because i had to boost ralts stats to make him able to stand a chance, but it doesn't matter now.
btw I am close to being done the second city but waiting on blindbommer for the inbettween route so it might be a while |
Update!
Aurora hearts has finished a few of the OW for the female character.. thought i would show you guys. The default name for the female character is Siren. http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=42014 Currently you can walk forward, back (sort of) and sideways (sprite changes every step) but will soon have it working properly. I have finnished mapping the town and gym just have to do a few scripts and stuff and will probably have 0.4 this weekend :) I might wait until i get all the female OW so don't be suprised if it is a little late |
Really its hack has excellent spriters, scripts seems well also to be made, waits some newness soon, tiles is good, I did not only like very them colors red it totodile, and this mini of the heroine can be improved.(very litle)
|
hey this hack looks great! i was just wondering im new to roms and hacking and all this and do i have to rename the aps file to gba to play it? ( i just downloaded the .3 beta )
|
@warmachine that is a patching file like .ips if you have heard of it. you need to patch a clean firered rom the use it. Use A-ptch to patch it. you can get a-ptch from here http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=85025
@wesley Thanks glad you like it... You can thank aurora hearts for the sprites :) Yes!!!!!! I fixed the sprite swap glitch with the help of a fellow hacker! Now i don't have to worry about that. This will be fixed for 0.4 so keep checking back! |
Yay i finally got to play teaser 3. Keep up the good work Neon!
|
Thanks :) Did you see any bugs?
btw i have created and inserted the sprite for KAI thew second gym leader here it is: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=42062 please comment because i think it is ok but if somthing needs changing now is the best time. |
this games looks like it has a lot of potential. now, are these teasers equal to alphas or are they different? anyways, looking forward to playing it
|
Scripting and Grammar is fine as well as the storyline and features except for mapping. You need to improve more and play around with it while having fun.
No offense but the maps are boring. Anyway. I'm sure that this is going to be a good hack you just really need to improve and I'm sure you'll get what it is. :> Good luck and I'm hoping to see more. |
Your maps need work, alot of them are too empty.
Also, the Demon Totodile, I recognise from another hack: Pokemon Shrouded Chaos: Your Hack: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/786ba55d70.png http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=41774 |
this is one of the hardest hack ive played so far, there are many trainers in mt shadow.. and all towns and places are large. this hack has a lot of potential, i cant wait for the next versions..
|
I agree my mapping isn't the best... I need to work on it.
The demon totodile i had never seen before I really didn't know about that. I got the idea because my friend started re-coulouring sprites to demon forms. Where did you get the picture from? I don't see it in the thread. Teasers are like demos of what i have done so far... They are fully playable. use a-ptch to patch the game wiith the .aps file um is the game being hard a good thing? |
I had to take the screenshot myself, If you play the alpha, You'll see it's an event near the of of the alpha.
|
hey, i just finished the final teaser you have and it looks very promising.
i really like the story line and i love the demon totodile. i think you should have more special events like the demon pokemon but also good pokemon from the light team. theres only one thing you need to improve on and that is your maps. add some flowers or a few more buildings and i think you will be good. |
I will be adding light pokemon too. Cyndaquil is next and he won't be demon i assure you... but you won't see him/her for a while. I also agree that my maps need work. They really arn't that good i probably need somone to do mapping.
Ok, in the future i will try to avoid that... Is there any other demon pokemon in the game? 0.4 progress: text editing and one script and i am done Kairain Town... I still need to get route 5 from BlindBommer and the OW from AuroraHearts. The OW can wait but i kinda need the route so please be pacient everyone. |
Hey I saw the picture of the legendary Pokemon! Looks awesome, is it a light Pokemon? :)
|
ya it is :) That is rough tho i am not the best suited for spriting
|
So I started playing through the teaser again looking for bugs and found some text errors. When you first go to the poke mart in Drainair town the clerk says pallet town instead of Sainar town professor oak instead of flint. Also, the team dusk grunt in the room with the star piece and dusk admin Jake both say team rocket in their lines instead of team dusk. This is all that I've found so far but i'm still looking. Other than this, I really like your hack and it has a lot of potential. I can't wait for teaser 0.4! :)
|
It is those things i am looking for. Thanks for pointing these out :)
Banner is up! I do not take credit for the background or umbreon render. The links to the sites are beneath the banner. fixed the text errors for next version! |
Demon TOTODILE look's like a groudon pre-evo 0.0
|
Looking at everyones comments, either there is something wrong with my patch or i missed a part in the game 'cause I never got the demon totodile event. Where is it?
|
cool name for an hack
the new ledgendary doesn't look that bad, your story reminds me of mewtwo, Dexoys (will they be in it,) and Proygon which were man-made pokemon, (Dexoys is in a way in has human DNA) will Totildile under-go evolotion? I wonder what will happen if they tryed to make a Mutated Ditto...... or magikarp good luck with the hack |
@sunman If you downloaded the newes version then after beating the first gym you should be able to head south where the event it otherwise it isn't the newest version check first post to see.
Yes totodile will evolve. I just haven't inserted the evo sprites yet so at level 25ish he will evolve to a sealo...... no comment Demon ditto? really ok i will think about it XD I have almost finnished but i have to wait for the OW from AuroraHearts so it might be a while.... unless you guys prefer the sprite changing every second step :) anyways sorry for the delays |
Lol demon Ditto? You should do a Demon Spoink! That would be freaky!
|
mabye i will lol.... ok i will wait till friday for OW otherwise i will try to make them :)
|
i think you should do a light ghastly haunter and gengar, since their ghost their known to be "demon"
|
Good idea i will write a list....
ok one sec EDIT: I am now looking for an OW spriter because AuroraHearts hasn't responded for a week or signed on for that matter.... I tried doing them myself but they looked horrible. So if you would like to help please don't hesitate to PM or post here -Neon Hydra |
Quote:
i have sent you what ive done already but sorry about the huge delay :S |
That's fine. btw i tryed but failed so guys please don't make me do sprites again...
I don't want to be responsible for anyones death XD EDIT I will insert the female OW and release the update... The guy one will have to wait. |
Update ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry guys I have been a bit busy and had a few delays. In most cases they were because of me.... but let's get on with the update! Features: Second gym badge obtainable! New Siren OW! (female hero OverWorlds) New route and Town! Second rival encounter! (sorry no battle yet) Sprite swap bug fixed! (you might not have noticed it but it was bugging the crud out of me XD) I have yet to swap the leaders OW so don't point that out. Still looking for a mapper... don't hesitate to vollenteer! Screen Shots: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=42366http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=42368http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5643&pictureid=42062 btw the siren pics are from the first town so those aren't new areas. I want you to see them for yourself :) In the update there is sort of a teaser for future updates... Enough said Patch is here! |
this is looking really good, especially the demonmons. what about a demon Eevee and demon Eeveelutions?
|
um im pretty sure its impossible to get out of the gym without walk through walls, but otherwise good.
also, a sugestion, maybe for demon pokemon some could evolve through happiness and could turn into light pokemon. like if you had a demon pidgey who evolved into pidgeoto based on hapiness, once it evolved it turns into light pidgeoto |
By the walk through walls what do you mean? Which gym and the happiness thing is a good idea thanks :)
I just checked both gyms without the walk through walls cheat and it worked fine... Unless you are talking about somthing else i will asume it is fine. |
I just started playing teaser 0.4 and now I know something is wrong with the way I'm patching this. The first time I went in the grass after getting my starter I got attacked by a level 75 sunflora. I can't get through any of the grass because every time I take a step I get attacked by crazy high level sunfloras. Does anyone know how to fix this??? :s
|
um what are you patching the file with?
and mabye try another rom... |
In the second gym, i might just be really stupid, but i can't find a way out once you battle the gym leader. But your welcome for the idea
|
o you mean you can't come back the way you came?
ok i will fix that... EDIT: Sunman it isn't you just checked and it is the game i am going to fix it momentarally... removed the wild data for that area... It had goten corupted some how. The encounder rate was -1 |
...Thats messed up...
-1 means no pokemon show up, no? |
well lots of things happen when somthing messes up.....
even if they don't make sense... btw I fixed the bugs and will release the new bug fxed one asap after i finish my home work :) Thanks for pointing the bugs out guys |
ok guys I have uploaded the bug fixes patch.... You can get it here or on the first post by clicking teaser 0.4
I fixed the corrupt data on the first grass and put a hole in the second gym that takes you back to the front. Please post any bugs so I can fix them... -Neon Hydra |
umm maybe i patched wrong but i think this is a problem. i downloaded the lastest bugfix patch and this is what i got. i got my trainer next to the 2nd gym leader and up on the top of the gym were 2 trainers and a pokeball. i would sent it to you but i dont know how to upload without a photobucket account, which i dont have...
|
I would recommend leaving the gym and returning...
otherwise try repatching because i tested all of it.. btw you can uplaod images onto PC under your profile please send me an image |
i uploaded the picture to my profile
|
I saw it...... I double checked and there are no event there on the game... I suggest trying to patch another rom and if the problem continues i will make a new patch (try .ips)
|
alright, and if the new patch doesnt work ill just use walkthrough walls to get out. really good game though
|
so the teleport doesn't show up? There should be a hole right beside him in the new patch
|
I'm just going to start over when the next beta/alpha comes out. I re-patched but it didn't work, so I'll just wait. You know the cave you go through to get to the first gym? There is a sign in there that says something about cerulean city. i would take a screenshot but i cant get out of the gym...
|
Thanks I will fix the sign. You don't have to start over. Just start the version before the bug fixes and leave the gym using the walk through walk code. save and start up the new version. It will work then. That way you keep your save file.
|
I tried using walk through walls, but it wouldnt even let me leave the gym. As i walked up to the door, it just kept an arrow showing the direction out, even witb walkthrough walls off. it might just be a bad rom, i dont know
|
i finished my school essay early so i redownloaded. i encountered one problem from the first time, when going to Peatrin City(or town, im not sure) i had to use walkthrough walls to get into the town right after i got out of the cave...also, this time, i wasnt able to pick up dropped pokeballs and go through a path...ill put the pictures on my profile
|
Fixed the not able to enter city part....
what pokeballs do you mean? EDIT: just checked.... They got corupted some how.... I have no clue what might be causeing these problems. I removed them for the time being |
also, its not a bug, but it is talking about oak. when you go to the first town besides your homo and go to the store, the shopkeeper says "Oak's parcel" not "Flint's parcel" and when you bring the parcel back to professor flint it says " *Character* gave Oak's Parcel" instead of Flint's...just a suggestion
|
Ya those texts don't show up in A-text and i'm afraid to use a decompiler to edit them as the new text would be larger than the old one....
This would overwrite data and I think it is from me doing simmilar stuff that messed up the pokeball items. I will put them back in later with new scripts. |
alright no problem. the only other suggestion i would have is fill your home town in a little bit more. maybe add some flowers or something, i mean unless you purposely put it like that which wouldnt be bad
|
Ya once again currently i am setting up the plot/main walkthrough. I will go back after and add details, ect, ect
I am thinking of replacing the pokeballs with hidden items as they don't need scripts to avoid corruption ect |
alright i understand. how are you progressing on the main story? its personally one of my favorite hacks
