Pokémon Ferrum
 
Get ready for a big wall of text...


Introduction
Everything starts from the beginning...



Hello people! I'm Zeffy and I bring to you my hack, Pokémon Ferrum. Pokémon Ferrum is a hack based on Pokémon FireRed. I'm trying to make this hack playable and enjoyable as I can. Anyways, more information about me:

  • I've started many hacks from before, Eon Legends and Obsidian being two of the most successful of all of them.
  • I was a noob hacker way before, so I learned a lot of things in order to make a successful hack.
Anyways, onto the main parts of the hack.

Story
Though shall not pass!



Your Pokemon knowledge will be put to test. . .

Ferrum Brigade has accepted your enrollment letter, and have been admitted to Ferrum Brigade Training System. This training system trains your Pokemon knowledge and how to interact with Pokemon. After the test, the trainee will be put into a test. What test, to be exact? A personality test. A test that determines what Pokémon is best for him/her.

After the test, the trainee will now be a Ferrum Ranger Grunt! A full pledged Pokemon trainer who also solves problems in Ferro by doing missions. Each mission, when successfully finished, will give rewards. These rewards maybe money, an item, berries, or maybe TMs. These missions are located in the Ferrum Headquarters that can be found in almost every town or city throughout Ferro. Completing a certain amount of missions in one Ferrum Headquarters will promote you to a higher Ferrum Ranger Position. Only few have attained the highest Ferrum Ranger Position, will you be one of them?

Besides being a Ferrum Ranger, you still can battle Gym Leaders and obtain badges to unlock special missions. These special missions will reward you with special items, and completing all badges will give you access to the Pokemon League!

So, will you be the champion?


Features
You treat me like a rose...



  • 15 Starters
Isn't that great? Well, you don't choose your starter but the game does. :P

  • Transportation Vehicles
Replacing the HMs Fly and Surf, Transportation Vehicles are essential in a Ranger's work. Since Ferro is divided into 2 major islands, you'll need to ride an airplane in order to travel between the islands.

  • No HMs
No more HMs are going to be used, although some items will replace some HMs.

  • Plot Twists
Although Ferrum has a main storyline, there are some twist. Like your mom being a Pokémon Researcher. ;)

  • No Official Rival
Since you're a Ranger, you won't need an official rival. Although, you'll have a rival team who's objective is really different from the Ferrum Brigade.

  • Examinations, and lots of it!
Although you've passed the test before being an official Ferrum Ranger, there'll still be lots of test throughout the game.

  • Mission System
This is a feature I've been thoroughly planning and implementing.

  • Recurring Pokémon Animé Characters
You heard it. ;)

  • Gym Leaders are completely OPTIONAL
Since you're a Ranger, battling the Gyms will be very optional. Although you can still battle them, but its up to you if you want to. :)
  • A Few More...
There's still a few more features that I'm currently working on, like sidequests. But the Mission system is my priority right now.

Media
:P

This hack looks promising :) And there is a grammar error in the picture with that guy. Instead of saying "I wonder if she have a boyfriend", it should be "I wonder if she has a boyfriend"... But thats not too important :p. Anyways, cant wait to play it.

Xela April 25th, 2010 8:20 AM

Yay, Zeffy's hack thread is up! xD

I like the story and the screenshots so far. Can't wait to see how it will turn out. :3
Best of luck!!

Neon Hydra April 25th, 2010 8:57 AM

Looks great. I like the idea with the game choosing starters but i have a fealling some people will have to start 15 + if they don't like the one they got XD

chimchar8 April 25th, 2010 10:26 AM

there is a mistake at the 11th picture when it says i wonder if she have a boyfriend when it should be i wonder if she has a boyfriend.

I'm aware of that, but I noticed it after I posted the thread so I'm just editing it later. xD

I don't want to spoil until later of how you're getting your starter, so wait until later and you'll see. ;)

zein April 25th, 2010 3:44 PM

Thank you. :)

I'm not a fan of inserting tiles, so that will not change. I'm not much of a mapper, more like a struggling mapper ;)

I'm currently inserting something, so I may update later. :D

Godlytion April 25th, 2010 6:31 PM

Egg Sandwich? i like it, too :x
This is a great hack!

Zeffy April 25th, 2010 7:58 PM

Not much of an update



If anyone wants to help with this hack, then please post in this thread.

Also, here's Turtwig inserted:

Actually, I already have them inserted but I screwed up. Good thing I have backups. :D

Zeffy April 26th, 2010 4:50 PM

Its time for an...

Update
She's so nice!



I'm barely getting responses >.> So, I'm bringing you the way of how you will obtain your starter!

A few questions from the test itself, mystery dungeon anyone? xD

A few more explaining, and the Pokemon I got was a Pikachu xD

A little sneakpeak of Windstone Path where an event happens. ;)

Ok, so here's how the test works. You answer a few questions, the number of questions depends on your answers. You'll most likely to get a Pikachu :P Although, if you're lucky you might get a few rares or a Rattata xD

Neon Hydra April 26th, 2010 5:18 PM

Have you read the storyline yet? It says that you're having a personality test. Anyways, what do you guys think about the new banner on the top of the first post?

Neon Hydra April 26th, 2010 5:36 PM

Ok, I'm progressing xD
Currently: Mapping Shinite City.
Getting Ready to: Script the events in Windstone Path and Shinite City.

I don't give out release dates, but it'll sometime next week. Not sure, though. :P

Mana April 26th, 2010 10:56 PM

Looks interesting, even though at first I was like waaahh due to some weird correlations with my hack XD but its bound to happen haha.

In the screenshots I noticed some shading errors in the buildings (with the darker tiles). Generally walls create a full square or shadow but everything else gives half a square (like the desk).

Also I think "What a cute and adoring Pokémon" should be Adorable.

And please don't just use that speckled grass tile the whole way through D: It seems people use it too much these days and it's just weird :P Make good use of all the different grass tiles FR has to offer.

Well, I've had this idea even before you posted your thread. I started developing the story, characters etc last December so I'm sorry 'bout that. xD

Actually, I'm not a great mapper. Don't get me wrong, my maps aren't that good. I'm looking for mappers that could fix up my crappy maps.

Actually, the adoring Pokemon part was a random text to be filled in later. That girl has a crucial part on the story. ;)

About the shading errors on the buildings, I completely forgot about those. xD I mostly did the walls and other that that..... xD

Thanks for the feedback! ^^

Going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure Zeffy said there wasn't a release yet

Looks great, I like the idea of 15 different starters, and the whole aspect of Gym Battles being optional is a great idea as well.

dragoniteuser April 28th, 2010 11:21 AM

Love the whole idea of this hack. One thing, maybe a reminder, but i see you put P/D/Pt starters (and other pokemon i suppose) in a Fire Red ROM which is great, but i've seen other hacks with the same thing and there were BIG mistakes like:
1) sprites were terrible;
2) graphic errors;
3) they were overwritten over other pokemon like rattatta or pidgey, so they kept abbilities and PokeDex texts of those pokemon;
4)And they had a HUGE error, cause they didn't add P/D/Pt moves so that pokemon had big gaps in their movesets and would just skip that moves, so sometimes you could lvl. them up for over 15 lvls. before they learn new moves!!!
Hope you had that in mind and worked on it. anyway I wish you best of luck on this hack and hope you know we all anticipate this hack!

1.) No u
2.) What are you talking about?
3.) :P
4.) uhh, what?

Those are NOT my problems, I can handle everything just fine and I can edit stuff like Pokedex and new moves are not important. It just ruins the game. :/ Are you talking like I'm some noob who can't even do anything?

Umbreon_ May 2nd, 2010 3:36 AM

The hacks looking good Zeffy.

Your hack is presented in a clean way and is very simple.

As for the storyline, features and screenshots all I can say is that it looks good still need some further improvements but I believe you'll get better soon enough.

I'm also impressed with your scripting. Grammar is good.

Good luck ...

Hack Update

Ferrum has been restarted, not because I was lazy, but because the last one had a major bug in it. Anyways, a lot of things will be different in the new Ferrum :D
Here are a some info about the new Ferrum:
  • New Tiles
  • New Scripts, so those old scripts will be different.
I hope you can bear with me, progress will be slow 'cause I'm going solo in this hack. Anyways, I'm currently doing the title screen. :D

Neon Hydra May 2nd, 2010 3:01 PM

That is fine... not to be nossy but what type of big bug? I just have found that when a bug happens restarting tends to not fix it. If it is somthing huge then i understand but i have had my fair share of bugs and have been able you fix them via experimentaion. Anyways good luck and i hope the new Ferrum is even better than the original :)
