It has been a while since I last replied/ updated this thread, so I'm sorry to those people who thought this hack (or I) was dead. I just haven't been working on Lilac for the past month or so which explains my lack of updates because I felt like I needed to take some time off. But now I've recharged my hacking batteries and I'm ready to continue work once again :D


Here are some pics of Routes 7 and 8; they are extremely mountainous and pockmarked terrains with enormous boulders along with both small and large chasms.


Granlan Town is a small mountain-side town with the third Gym of Lowen. It is notable for having a Shard collector, where you can trade in your red, blue, green and yellow shards for rare TMs. You'll have navigate the town's Gym in darkness in order to restore the power, allowing your match to played out safely.


That's it for this update. There are a few more generic NPCs I have to script in Granlan Town, but other than that everything is going well :D



I'm very sorry for not responding to you guys earlier, but I really, really don't like to reply when I'm not working on Lilac for an extended period of time. It makes me feel like I'm cheating or something :x

Anyways, I've always loved what you've done with this hack graphically. And if your scripting is anywhere near as good as your mapping, I'm sure I'll thoroughly enjoy this game. With that said, I'm going to go play it right now. :)

"Beta 1 Released" had been in the title for nearly two months colcol :P

Thanks, I really want to make this a visuably beautiful and playable hack. While I don't see scripting being as fun as mapping or tile inserting, I hope what I did was marginally acceptable to you.

i don't get much of a chance to play hacks anymore but i decided to play this one for no reason, it looks and is great, so keep up the good work, oh btw when i went to the kid who wants to catch a pokemon, and in the battle the old man popped out, i started lol'ing, you might want to take that off no?

Yeah, the old man backsprite was mentioned in the notes that were provided with the download. I just don't have a spriter to help, and I'm terrible at spriting stuff by myself :x

Thanks, Zeikku. I'm always on the lookout for new tiles and such because like I said earlier, I can't draw/sprite to save my life.



As always, be one of the cool kids and comment or something.

Awesome update is awesome! Along with Stardrop this is one of my favorite hacks! I love the Gym Puzzle, especially since it's fairly original. The tiles look great as usual and I love the route with the stairs. Hope to see more =3

This hack is really good, especially your mapping skill.
It seems you can manage to finish it alone. But if you need, you can ask me...
Good luck!

Meta Paradox May 25th, 2011 5:48 AM

I luuuuurrrve the guy in Poliberg which gives you an arsenal of Lv 100 Kadabras! Cool!

Thanks, QM :3

I don't think that the idea itself is too original (e.g. Dewford's Gym), but in terms of navigation it will function more like Lost Cave in FRLG. Also, I've made the player field of vision larger than what is shown in the screenshot.

That was accidently left in while I was making Beta 1.1 so I could have some strong Pokemon with which to test. You must have been playing an older version of the game as that event was deleted in the current downloadable patch quite a while ago.

Is that the only thing you love? :<

NTA May 29th, 2011 8:29 PM

Love the graphics and tiles!

Not sure why but it looks like something got screwed up in the code lol...
Keep up the great work!

SuckBoot May 30th, 2011 6:35 AM

Wow this game looks really awesome. May I do a walkthrough of it? I'll post the videos in Let's Play so other people can see your game!

ChaosJester083 June 2nd, 2011 7:41 PM

Just a quick hello I am glad to see the progress and cant wait to start LP the next beta as soon as it comes out.

Kyrios1992 June 4th, 2011 7:03 PM

I just found one thing~ Kaplan says in his little introductory speech that he's "never valued the life of his citizens over petty battles." I think he's got that backwards, unless he's implying that he'd shirk his duties just to fight a Pokemon battle. xP

Anyways, really great game so far. Tiles are beautiful; the events are all great and really well choreographed. I also have to add that I LOVE the selection of pokemon you can catch in the first part of the game. And thanks for shiny Grimer~ <3

DrFuji June 4th, 2011 7:48 PM

I've only got a small update on what I've done today becuase there are no screenies ;_;. I've finished mapping and scripting a very small and insignifcant route (It is actually pretty large, but the majority can only be accessed by Surf). I have also started on tiling and mapping the next city, which is the second largest in the region. There will be a very important event there and you will meet some new allies and come into contact with someone you've fought with before...

Haha! How could I not see that before? :P

Thanks for that mate.

Sure, man.

At this point I'm going to be releasing Beta 2 once I've finished the game up to the fifth gym. In essence that will be three more cities/ towns, a few routes and the Safari Zone. I'm afraid it is going to be a while, but hopefully everything will meet your expectations when it is done :D

I don't even know what I thinking when I wrote Kaplan's line. I'll alter it a bit later if it is similar to how you phrased it :3

I'm glad you've enjoyed the game thus far and congratulations on the shiny Grimer!

ChaosJester083 June 5th, 2011 6:00 PM

Im sure It will. Everything looks great so far from the tiles to the mapping.

Poke2011 June 5th, 2011 10:05 PM

haha.. I see a new tree! and it's blending to the other tree is perfect..:) will it be in the earlier maps?

Bish0ujo June 7th, 2011 12:10 AM

Hi! This hack is really fun! Anyways, I thiiink I found a problem.
After playing hide and seek with that girl in Poliberg the camera randomly floated away from my character and now its stuck!
I checked the map and it says I'm in route 18, but I'm definitely in Poliberg still, haha.

RetroPokemon June 8th, 2011 4:02 AM

So far, I have really enjoyed this hack.
I'm not a big fan of 3rd Gen+ Pokemon in Fire Red hacks, but that's just a personal opinion.
Your tileset's are very simple on one side, and on the other side, they are just amazing.
I have found some small issues however, which may or not have been mentioned before.
-Whenever you faint, the Nurse at the pokémon center will have mom's script
-While battling room 2 in the Poliberg gym, I fainted, and I "respawned" in Bolderville, while I visited the pokémon center in Poliberg

Those glitches are old news and you should have seen them on the first post as things Fuji is working on.

PaulGR June 16th, 2011 9:26 AM

I love this lovely bell....... o i will try to put is on my rom to..

DrFuji June 19th, 2011 2:59 AM


Hello again, everybody. Recently I've had a lot of time to hack and do other things that interest me, so it is only natural that I've been making a lot of progress on Lilac. This update is showing Sebrene City, the second largest city in Lowen which has the region's fourth Gym and also plays host to the headquarters of Ryde Corp, the largest and most powerful corporation in the region. It also has a bicycle shop where you can actually buy a bike (that's right, no cheesy vouchers here). In the gym you will be able to Surf (even without the fifth badge) in order to navigate through dangerous rapids, swirling whirlpools and hope to not get trapped between the two of them. While everything seems peaceful within the town, Ryde Corp has been experiencing difficulties with Team Rocket's return. From what you can gather, Ryde Corp and Team Rocket once came into conflict in the past... But why?


DrFudgey's Mister Fuji's OW is just a placeholder for the Chairman's which is currently being made. Apart from that, everything scripting/ mapping/ tiling/ awesome-related in Sebrene City has been completed :D

Wow, you've got a sharp eye :P

Unfortunately the tiles will only be around for four routes and two cities. I had just enough extra room to insert it in the tileset I was using and just felt like mixing it up a bit.

Hmm... There is nothing in that script that should be causing the camera to move in any possible way. I'm not sure what has happened, so sorry. :<

I've tinkered with the World Map.

They haven't been mentioned in this thread before if my memory is any good but I was aware of and have fixed them on the ROM I'm working on right now. I'm glad that you enjoyed the game, even if it isn't your general style :D

This looks awesome, and a hell of a lot of fun to play. It should be "too," though, not "to."

As for the newest update, it all looks awesome. Isn't the Bicycle a bit overpriced though?

Akk. Spelling, my mortal enemy...

I don't think the bicycle is overpriced. Considering that it was $1,000,000 in the original games, now it is only slightly more expensive than two Protein/ Iron/ Zinc etc.

Tropical Sunlight June 19th, 2011 5:35 AM

The Water-type Gym looks just great, and I honestly want a new beta soon :D :D :D

ChaosJester083 June 20th, 2011 7:16 AM

Everything looks great and I am really geting excited to LP the next beta.

Quilava's Master June 20th, 2011 8:53 AM

And with each and every passing update you inspire you me a little more. Seriously good job on that gym. It looks beautiful!

Al3x June 25th, 2011 10:09 PM

oh i cant wait for next beta, ill have to save up my money for the bike, id normally spend it on potions and stuff

Chimchar 9 June 29th, 2011 4:51 PM

Everything looks amazing! Good job! I especially like the gym. <3

Also, can you put about 5 nuggets next too the bike shop? xD

Good luck!

marcc5m July 1st, 2011 6:25 AM

Tiles in the Water Gym look amazing. Actually all of the tiles look amazing. Also lol expensive bike. Looks like I'll have to find a money cheat :P
