Pokemon: DarkGrey

Hack of Ruby


Story:
October 15th, 2000
It was my Birthday that day. I was 5 years old, at the park with my Father, when a creature attacked us. It was Grey, with a Purple tail. It attacked us without warning, until I fell to the ground. It prepared it's final attack, but my Father...he intervened and was struck down. A group of people then appeared, all wearing a Red letter R on their tops. They ignored me and my father, and proceeded to attack the Creature. They followed after it, leaving me and my father, injured. I awoke to find myself in a hospital bed, fully recovered. My father, however, was not so lucky.

October 15th 2010
I turn 15 today, meaning I am now old enough to leave home for my Pokemon journey. I will get revenge, revenge on the Pokemon that killed my father. Well, my Mum is calling me. It's time to go.

I love the tiles and i like it because its an emerald hack too well but you can change the hero's OW sprite anyways keep up the good work and gud luck in this hack!

garg_priyansh June 26th, 2010 6:50 AM

i love your story!! GOOD LUCK!!

vietazn654 June 26th, 2010 6:58 AM

It's good to see your hack is up. ;] I love the tiles. Did you make them yourselves or did you insert them?

Update!
http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/altariaking/DarkGrey_01-4.png
the mart really didn't go well with the tiles, and neither did the pokemon centre. So I decided to use one building for both, and inserted the new pokemon centre/mart. There are a few errors on the top right but I'm working on fixing those (just parts I didn't recolour properly).

@Poke_MO
thanks ^^
Yes, the hero, as well as every other overworld is going to be changed ^^

@garg_priyansh
You liked the story about a dad dying!? xD, thanks!

@vietazn654
thanks! I just inserted them, but if I get better at tile spriting I may add custom ones too.

Could you tell me where you got the tiles? Unless they're private I understand. =p

Al3x June 26th, 2010 7:13 AM

Dude this looks awesome! I love the tiles! :D

Mana June 26th, 2010 8:10 AM

Story seems a bit cliché (Oh look the player has no father XD) but at least you explained it I guess. I do find it a bit weird how a 16 year old is so angry o_o, also what purpose does Mew have in this hack as its shown in the screenshots.

The mapping, from the screenshots, looks quite awkward. Your paths in the town is too thick and your ledges in the route are annoying - jumping off the top ledge to the right lands you on a tree, ouch.

The palettes are a touch too bright, taking them down just slightly will make it easier on the eye.

Aside from the hack itself this CSS is bad for the eyes. Center it all and stop the background image showing through the screenshots, then maybe make the text a bit bigger and brighter to make it easier to read.

Good luck ^^

Did you ask MetalFlygon to use his sprites?

Lightning Zapper June 26th, 2010 5:52 PM

Nice storyline and tilesets!

This hack is good.

15 year old :P

Yes, my mapping is not good, but I fixed the ledge so thanks for saying :)

People from WAH said it was too dark, so that's why it's like that

I've centered it now, but, in all honesty, I don't know how to stop it being transparent at the screenshots XD
Good luck ^^
Thanks :D

Shining Platinum is on hold because of a really big bug that has forced me into restarting 5 times

Sarcastic Prince June 27th, 2010 9:41 PM

Ok.... I don't really care about the story and whether it's cliché or not,
'cause that's not the most important thing about a Hack.

The problem is that you mixed R/S/E OWs and D/P/P OWs in your Hack.
That's not good. You should only use one style (Or two, if it's FR OWs).

Compared to R/S/E OWs, D/P/P OWs are giants. Giants are not good.
You don't see a giant in town everyday, right?

Aha, I hope that's a joke XD the story is the MOST important thing.

The CSS is much easier to read now thanks XD

@SwiftSign: I think the bolded is what SP meant- the story is definitely the most important part of a hack, but whether the story is cliche or not does not matter, providing it is good either way.
Also, Altariaking does plan to change all OWs to the DPPt style. Very few people use RSE Overworlds in hacks, so if you see a hack with only one of them changed, you should expect the rest of them to change, too.

[center]Update!

Edited the speech bubble thing so that it actually looks like...a speech bubble.
http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/altariaking/DarkGrey_02-2.png
PokemonCentre? I wonder what's happening there?

@Sarcastic Prince
I'm going to be replacing all overworlds, some just haven't been sprited yet.

Good luck.

PS: Isn't the term, "Pokemon Center" supposed to be 2 words instead of a word?
I think it will be better if it's typed like "PC" or "Pokemon Center".

Yes, mainly because RSE OWs aren't very appealing...
Still, the idea of havin' D/P/P OWs in hacks are good, 'cause
D/P/P OWs are more stylish.

Really? Well, I don't think so, I usually just skip the story part, and
just look at screenshots and stuff like that.

altariaking June 29th, 2010 1:00 PM

Added a poll to the first post, and I've started on the starter script. expect an update tommorow
