[HotM Feb. 2011] Pokémon Grey [Beta 1 Released]
 


A missing person always has a family.
You just never expect that family to be yours.
Six years ago was the day you lost your Sister forever...
She was in our world one minute and gone the next.

Six years later and it's time to put the past to rest.
You've got a job working as one of Professor. Cedar's Aides.
However things are not what you'd expect them to be.
Your surrounded by lies and chaos and every time you get
close to the truth it slips further out of reach.


* A whole new adventure set in the Vayne region.
* A brand new Hero to play as. (Trainer Grey).
* New tiles to give the game more beauty.
* Unusual starter Pokémon to make the game more difficult.
* ASM features such as time based events.

And much more!

How to patch Pokémon Grey:
  1. Download a clean FireRed Rom.
  2. Open that Rom in the latest version of XSE.
  3. At the top of XSE select tools and click 'Rom resizer'.
  4. Now click 'Expand'.
  5. Download a tool called 'A-Ptch'.
  6. Open it up, make sure you applying a Patch.
  7. Select the original file as that Rom.
  8. Select the Patch as the Patch you've downloaded.
  9. Click 'run' and that's it.
  10. You should now be able to play it in Visualboy Advance.
Now if the patching fails it's because you've downloaded the wrong region code of the FireRed rom. I'm not sure which region code I started on, It's either (E) or (U).



JPAN: For making an awesome engine!
ZodiacDaGreat & Intrdpth: For their fantastic D/N system.
Shiny Quagsire/Sparkles: For making ASM routines for me.
Colcolstyles: For all his help with ASM.
Leachim_Paloyz15: Allowing me to use the region name 'Vayne'.
~Red~: For making my cool userbar, please use it!
Cilerba: Thread CSS Logo.
NiKaNoRoU: For making the Rival's Overworld.


If I've missed you off this list please PM me and I will edit it.

Wow, pretty amazing, I'm surprised nobody has posted yet!
The tiles, scripts, story all look pretty good. :3

I did notice some grammar errors, though. Anyway, good luck, this is a great looking hack!

negative September 8th, 2010 11:09 PM

I love the graphics of this hack. The story is also interesting, somewhat psychological. And a scripting error: "Tig, your it" should be "Tag, you're it"

scizor_xd September 9th, 2010 12:43 AM

is the sixth screen shot a flashback?
I want to learn how did you the pallet all gray...

anyways awesome hack! keep it up. :)

Thank you, If your refering to the 'Tig' thing, that is now fixed due to public demand. If you've found more which I'm guessing you have from 'errors', can you list them so I can fix them ASAP. I hate Grammar errors but sometimes I make stupid mistakes...

I'm glad you like the story, It took me a while.

The grey palettes are created through ASM.
I myself only know how to activate it,
It's Colcolstyles that actually made it and gave me permission to use it.

Anyway in other news. :)


Mini-Update #1:

Trainer Grey Backsprite done. :)

Now I've got the Overworld, Trainer Sprite and Backsprite made I thought I'd ask for some general feedback.

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5513/trainergrey2.png

So what do you think?

Mini-Update #2:

I didn't think the Trainer Sprite went 100% with the backsprite or the Overworld so I did a bit of editing.
I have a new Trainer Sprite to show you:

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3311/greyy.png

The choice is yours to which one I use.
Depending on your views will change what Grey looks like.

Next task:

-Insert Pokémon Platinum Male bag.
-Add checkgender command to all scripts to allow Male/Female differences.
-Insert the freshly made Backsprite.

Orinjmate September 9th, 2010 5:49 AM

Wow this is pretty decent, also loving the english-ness (and not american!) grey not gray and it not tag. Although I think some more FR tiles could be changed though.

Tiles are dynamic currently meaning if I see something I like, it's going in! :D
Thanks for the comment.
I'm happy all the feedback so far is positive!

Trust me when I say, you will love it!

Anyway...

Mini-Update:

I've fixed/added new images to the Media on the first post.

Make sure you check them out. :D

solarowl September 10th, 2010 6:39 AM

The story is pretty cool and are you taking this project solo? I mean because it seems you're the only one hacking :3.

Binary September 10th, 2010 8:40 AM

Very interesting hack. ;D

The story is very intriguing; You make me want to know more and sort of attracts me. I don't really like the idea of unusual starter pokémon though. I think it should be an average kind of pokémon. You could always change other things for the difficulty.

The time based events sound nice. The Real Time Clock in the screens look nice. The Grey flashback screen looks awesome XD. The text alignment on the bootscreen looks nice. I really hope you progress far.

Good luck.

Thank you, the story is definitely different and more serious to any other Pokémon hack/game.

Currently I am the only person working on this hack. I like to be in charge of everything but that doesn't mean I'm against team work.
A team member must have something I really like for me to accept them because as you can see I can handle pretty much everything myself.

Everybody is posting really great comments.
I've never ever shown any of my work off until now because I didn't think it was any good.
I would always stop Rom Hacking due to me losing interest but this time I feel different as I have the support of the community.

As for all the ASM features you mentioned, I have some great people to thank for helping me. The starters in the game are Shroomish, Corphish and Numel. They follow the typical triangle, they all have 1 evolution and their all from Hoenn.

How are they for Starters?

Mini-Update:

Today I inserted scripts from my spare rom to my final rom.
That mean's I'm getting closer to an Alpha/Beta for you folks. ;)
Anyway fingers crossed if all goes to plan I may have some more screens for tomorrow. :D

Satoshi Ookami September 10th, 2010 11:43 PM

This is really beautiful looking hack.
Concepts are very nice and I like player's OW.
Good luck with it =)

Thank you, I've put a lot of work into this as I want people to enjoy playing it. :)

Mini-Update:

I have a Map shot of a route I made yesterday.

The place it features is known as Hartshill Path and is the first route the Player reaches.



The trees with the pink berries on will contain an event. :)

Credit to Dewitty for making those trees.

esperance September 11th, 2010 9:32 AM

Sweet hack! The titlescreen is really good. :pink_laugh: I can't wait to play this!

sir.euge September 11th, 2010 10:15 AM

Really nicely done map. takes a while to get through it but then getting back down is a lot easier. Id suggest adding a cut tree or rock smash rock so that later it will be a lot easier to et back up instead of fighting low lvl pokemon.

That's not a bad suggestion.
I will have a mess around and find the best place to add some cut trees. :)

Milk September 11th, 2010 10:45 AM

Wow this game looks great, and i really like the story. And your CSS isn't half bad either.

XElectro September 11th, 2010 1:21 PM

I just took a look at the screens and they are pretty good. That's what makes me want to play your hack so badly

But...

I'd like to make a suggestion as for the starters. My suggestion is to put in Magikarp, Slugma and Shroomish as the starters. They all have one evolution, there is one from each generation and all of the evolved forms have a 4x weakness (Gyarados - Electric; Magcargo - Ground; Breloom - Flying). Probably you'd have to change the stats and learnsets of some of the starters (*cough*Magikarp*cough*), change the wild appearences and remove the fish from actually being able to fish.

Tell me what you think about the suggestion and I understand if you don't use it.

Don't worry, you will be able to get your hands on it soon.
As for your suggestion, I'm afraid I'm keeping the starters as they are.
It's not that it's a bad suggestion as technically the starters would all be equal however I feel nobody would choose Magikarp.

Marowak10 September 11th, 2010 3:00 PM

I would play, and I agree, I don't think anyone would choose Magikarp. And as for another question, I like Grey with pants, not shorts.

In that case you will be happy to know Grey has shed the shorts and is wearing pants!

astar_01 September 12th, 2010 2:34 PM

What a day I've had...
I've had tonnes of homework, I had to go see my Granddad in hospital and I still managed to do some Rom Hacking to bring you an update.

So here it is:



It's just a new battle background.
It's similar to the firered background but features the D/P/PT grass.
I'm sure it's something you've seen before. :)

Anyway that's it, more coming soon!

xenion September 12th, 2010 3:36 PM

This looks to be a very good hack! keep up the good work. If you need any help Ill help you with your hack. Anyways Good luck with finishing this hack

astar_01 September 13th, 2010 12:30 PM

So it's been a day or so since my last update so I think its time for another!

Today my update is:

The Berry Tree:

This idea was inspired by the headbutt tree but it has a twist... Berries.

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6981/pokemongreyimage19.pnghttp://img836.imageshack.us/img836/5646/pokemongreyimage22.png
http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/1706/pokemongreyimage23.pnghttp://img185.imageshack.us/img185/3342/pokemongreyimage24.png
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6937/pokemongreyimage21.pnghttp://img72.imageshack.us/img72/4223/pokemongreyimage20.png

How does it work?

It works randomly.
There is a 5/20 chance of obtaining a type of berry.
There is a 5/20 chance of being attacked by a Pokémon.
Leaving a 10/20 chance of you not getting anything at all.

The script sets a flag (similar to that of the CUT TREE) meaning the script can not be used again until the Player has left the map.

You might ask, what if someone milks it for items?
Well due to the 1/4 chance of even recieving an item, it will take the Player a long time to rack up multiple items.

This Tree is merely an extra feature and a bit of fun. :)

nasonex September 13th, 2010 6:37 PM

Hehehe.... Nice Idea you got there. It'll stop the greedy ones from
picking in the berry trees again and again. :D

Exactly, It will make the game more balanced.

News:

I've recently chosen my Beta Testers!
There are 10 of them in total to make sure my hack is checked thoroughly.
They are:

Solarowl
Cross Ryan Zero2
Shiny Quagsire/Sparkles
Leachim_Paloyz15
Flygon
Ageangel
zZJoennZz
Cilerba
White
JollyJH


It will down to these people to make sure all my grammar and scripts are correct.

That's all for now, I just wanted to let the Hack's fans know a Beta will be given to my testers soon, edited if nessecary, then distributed to you lot!

lars131 September 14th, 2010 3:40 PM

I love this story, its diffrent and it reminds me of how original the Gamecube games were made. I also can't wait to try this out, somthing says to me this hack will be awesome, atleast for my likes!

Lugiaz Soul September 14th, 2010 6:57 PM

You're missing a period somewhere in your third screenie. Love the first route, although you could add a better way to get back up.

I've already added Cut Trees into the first route to make it easier for the Player to get back up.
I can't spot the missed period? Can you be a little bit more descriptive, please?

NiKaNoRoU September 15th, 2010 11:32 AM

This hack along with Lilac are the most admirable active hacks in the Progressing section right now (imo). Everything about it seems to be going smoothly, and you are going solo on this, so I like it. Good luck, and keep the updates coming!

I agree with your opinion! :)
Although there are some other hacks which are equally as good (Chrome and Darkgrey).

I have currently just finished the last story event in the first beta.
I'm afraid the beta isn't that long, but I think quality is better than quantity.
Don't you agree?

You bet! as far as quality goes, your hack excels, that's why I chose to praise it along with Lilac. I'll be around for some slave work slight spriting help if you need me (although you don't, that's what I'm best at helping others at).

drew6464 September 15th, 2010 6:40 PM

Either the hacks here are getting better, or I was viewing the wrong one. One of the best I've seen so far. Great, great work. And KEEP IT UP! XD

Shiny Quagsire September 16th, 2010 6:14 AM

I will admit, I'm a bit jealous of your hack. :)
But, with this, plus some of my ASM magic, will make wonders :3

When I was a lurker here, I always saw the hacks you put up and was really impressed with them.

As for updates, I'm just coding the NPC, so tedious and there is so many of them, especially when they all saw something different at night time!
I'm also getting distracting by the news of a potential B/W Rom dump.

nasonex September 16th, 2010 6:57 PM

Hope you finish the scripting well astar_01!

I'm sure it'll be a surprise to everyone!

Good Luck on the development of Pokemon Grey!

Ben. September 17th, 2010 12:26 PM

Looking at your over world, I have noticed that it is and heavily edited version of: Pokemon Sienna's hero.
I have informed Manipulation about this, and you should remove the screenshots, fairly sharpish.
I'm doing this as Manipulation has a broken his finger.
Thanks.

If there is one thing I hate above all things in the Rom Hacking universe it is people that claim something that is an absolute LIE!

If you actually have eyes, which I doubt you do, you would blatently see it look's nothing like Sienna's Overworld!
Also if you looked closer you may even notice it is actually a heavy edit of the Original FIRERED Overworld. (Which comes with the Rom).
My Overworld is the Firered Hero with a different hairstyle and a different Palette. The last time I checked that's what most hero Overworlds are based on.

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5719/prooflew.png

Well fancy that? Doesn't it look like an edit of Firered Hero upon closer inspection!

You should actually make sure you have proof before you try to mini-mod for Manipulation!
You should also not slander my work off to other people and claim it was stolen. E.G. Kid nino!

I'm a sucker for story lines that go past the basic story of trying to be the champion and go into the person's back story. Like I believe you've done with the flash backs. :D (Gray screenshot)

And Ben, isn't it that if it's heavily edited then it wouldn't look that similar. If it does, couldn't it be that he just came up with a similar design? o.o;

I'm afraid your going to have to wait a bit for a download.
It's coming soon, I promise.
I think a Pokémon Hack works with almost any story, so you shouldn't be worried to try something new. :)

DuoRyan September 17th, 2010 2:57 PM

Hey [it me cross]
I just notice your overworld was an edit.
I can't wait to test this soon, I promise you a bug free hack.
Well every ten of are.

Yep it's a very good edit of the FireRed Hero too. :)
I looked at the D/P/Pt rich boy overworld's hair to help me sprite the style.

There has been some delays with the hack, as I'm letting Ray Maverick edit my maps!
He's done a fantastic job if I say so myself. :)

Well as both of the o/ws seem like eachother, it seems like both were edits of the FR one (at least the pants/shoes), so they are kinda the same, but you can't blame him for that.

I looked at the D/P/Pt rich boy overworld's hair to help me sprite the style.

There has been some delays with the hack, as I'm letting Ray Maverick edit my maps!
He's done a fantastic job if I say so myself. :)

Thanks mate ;)
Just say mapping is done. I mapped that thing in one hour.
(Also fixed some palettes and tiles, added some new tiles and made thousands of new blocks XD)

off-topic: Ray,if you're reading this,im gonna surpassed you in mapping one of these days,grab that..hahax

Yeah, too right for the quality thing. I hope owner agrees :D

And we'll see that! (I can help you with a thing or two)

Wow, Astar, that is the best boot screen I've ever seen in a hack.
Great work :)

Great work :)

Thank you, I'd just let to say that that is all my own work too!

News:

As some of you may know, I've been accused by Ben. as stealing and heavily editing the Pokémon Sienna Overworld.

I am here to show my defence and prove that his accusation is an absolute lie.

The image below is the first image I made when making my overworld. (So it's a Prototype).

http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/9899/customtrainer.png

This image clearly shows all the components I used to make my overworld.
The Palette is from my fusion Trainer Sprite.
The hairstyle is from the Rich Boy Overworld.
And the base is based of the FIRERED Overworld.

As you can see, there is NO Pokémon Sienna Overworld in there.
If you still don't believe me after this proof then please will you NEVER post in my thread, play my Hack, or talk to me.

Job done, Trainer Grey is staying! :D

Xela September 18th, 2010 2:30 AM

Holy crap. This is one of the best progressing hacks I've ever seen!
I really can't wait to play it, it looks so promising. :D

If you ever need any help (Which I'll doubt you'll do), send me a PM or VM and I'll try to help you out. :)

Currently I have no need for any more help, but thank you for offering.

Update:

I bring you the newly mapped Thornhill Cove:



I know there are some palette and tile errors which are going to be fixed.
I'm just waiting for the patch off Ray Maverick. :)

The map is a big improvement from what it use to be:



I apologise for the grid...

Anyway in other news, I haven proven that my Overworld is my own, so the matter shall be laid to rest.

I told ya,ray is one good mapper isn't he..he can turn a normal map into a nice looking map.hahax

Lugiaz Soul September 18th, 2010 9:08 AM

Wow, there is really nothing that can be done to make this map even better! Love the little cove with the cave. Maybe, A rocksmash Pokemon on the beach?

And dude, this is the old version of the map, I'm afraid. When you were away, after I sent the mapshot to you, I took the liberty of making some other tiles/pals: the shading between the trees, FR style. Mapping will be a little more difficult, and you need to get used to my blocks, but it's definitely worth it.

(also, add yourself on the team, people would think you're doing nothing for the hack XD)

Nope, I disagree. Check this thread later to see the improved version of the map I made. ;)

astar_01 September 19th, 2010 3:07 PM

After a very slow Rom Hacking weekend, I bring you updates!
I have some screenshots of the begining script where the Player is introduced to Professor Cedar.
I've also have a random screenshot of Grey admiring the view...



As some of you may have noticed the maps & palettes have been changed due to Ray Maverick joining the team.
I'm personally a hugh fan of his work so I hope you like it too.

Things to do:

- I currently waiting for some requests to be completed by certain members.
- I'm in the middle of spriting a new evil team! They are a Mafia styled team...

Nice stuff man. I like your scripting. But what about the new maps and blocks I made? It's kinda dangerous to transfer them.

I wouldn't worry about it.
I have plenty of back ups and if an error does happen I can just re-add all the stuff to a new rom.
The 3rd house is Thornhill cove belongs to a mysterious character named Ray. :)

Aww, looks like someone already took "Pokemon Gray" as a name.
Anyway, those screenshots are cool.

Yes, it's seems I've beaten you and Nintendo. :)
It is very predictable that the next Nintendo game which is a mix of Black and White will be called Grey...

Anyway thank you for the feedback.

nasonex September 20th, 2010 4:52 PM

Nice Mapping there Ray Maverick! Looking good
as always! What more can I say? Nice tiles,
graphics.. What more could you look for? :P

Btw, the sprite of the prof., is it originally from
prof. oak's aide? It looks kinda like him..

Maybe I'll look forward more on scripting cause
generally, It's the most hard thing to do... xD

Well anyways, Good Luck astar_01! Gonna wait
for the next Update! :D

I guess I am gonna have to go with Ghost Gray instead of just Gray.:18:
Anyway, do you have a Beta up yet?

colcolstyles September 20th, 2010 5:06 PM

Hey, that flashback thing sure looks nifty! ;D

Lookin' good. I like the choice of tiles and the sprite-work looks great, especially the hero front-sprite. I can't wait to see what the heroine looks like. I also like starter selection. Everything in general looks very professional. Keep up the excellent work! :)

The Beta was coming soon, but it's been extending for more goodies.
I do some work on it everyday...

Why thank you. :)
I told you I wouldn't let you down!
I'm going to use the ASM you gave me in wonderful ways.
As for the Heroine, I'm not sure what she's going to look like yet, but we both know she'll be awesome. :D

Yeah, I think Ghost Gray would be better than just Grey. But it's up to you mate. Also, Richie beat Nintendo with his hack, Black&White, he made it ages before they even announced the other games.

Thanks dude. It's my job. I am mapping/tiling (graphics in general) and he's the brain. XD

You won't wait till the next update, I'm close to finishing all the maps of beta 1 left. After the maps, scripts come, and then o/ws-sprites. And then guess what. You playing it. ;)

Oakwood Town - 70%
Verona Peak - 30%

then we chat chat,then you said Ray is much better saying thats why you chose it,so then i said,i will use the name ray and gold o/w you use for your hack in my hack..does this rings a bell?..hahax

astar_01 September 21st, 2010 12:31 PM

I know how much you love updates, so here's another one.

Update:

In this update I have 2 things to show you.

The first is a new map made by the talented Ray Maverick.
All the older maps have also been remapped into wonderlands like this.

I introduce to you, Verona Canyon!



The second update I have to show you is not as big.



The image shows how the NPC in Pokémon Grey will say different things depending on what time of day it is.
This is an example of time based events. :)
I have more indepth time based events that will be unveiled further down the line.

I hope you like the progress.

nasonex September 21st, 2010 1:08 PM

I'm sure lovin the Updates Astar! ^^

About the map, its really good but I noticed something,
it feels like the color of the mountains or the graphics
of the grass and trees don't contrast each other...

Maybe it's just my eyes...

In the Time based events, It's good to know you've been
able to implement it. I know it takes a lot of time and hard
work but hey, these are the ones that make a great
quality hack!

I wish you good luck on scripting! For all I know is its
the hardest and tiring part to do.. :P

Nice map you got there,but imo the palletes of the others doesn't match with the mountains,its like the others are bright,but then the mountains are dull..

and how did you make the time based event..it is awesome,gonna learn how to do it..loving the updates astar.

This applies to both quotes...
I shall have a work with my mapper and see what we can do about the mountains. :)
We are also looking into a new wild grass.

I agree with the palette thing, but I thought you wanted to keep it FR style, like the paths and the houses. Also, the HGSS grass you picked may not look that good with the other tiles, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.

Lugiaz Soul September 22nd, 2010 2:54 PM

How about adding a backdoor to the building that can lead to a cave? Would be awesome!

The cave is only accessible through an event the Mafia takes you too later on in the game. :)

astar_01 September 27th, 2010 1:10 PM

This weekend I sent out Beta 0.5 to the Beta Testers.
The feedback I have recieved was positive and there is yet to be a bug discovered.
I might do a bit more to the hack before I release it to the public as Beta 0.5 is a bit short, yet brilliant in my opinion...

Anyway here's some images...
It's basically Beta 0.5 compressed into images.
(There going in the first thread).

Some of them you may of seen before however the maps have been redone and other tweaks have occured.

Spoiler:

nasonex September 27th, 2010 7:12 PM

Very nice maps Astar! And with the help of
Ray Maverick!

I can see that the progress is going well and
there is a beta 0'5 already.

I hope the bugs/glitches that'll be found are minor
and easy to fix. But I doubt that there will be any.. :P

Finally, your hardwork is paying off and also the ones
that contributed in the hack.

Anyways, Good to all the testers and hopefully have
a thorough search for bugs/glitches. :D

Ray Maverick September 28th, 2010 8:31 AM

Wow Alex, nice job with the scripts. Awesome. I liked Team Rocket, they seemed dangerous. At last a good hack. Ask Harry to change the name of the thread so it indicates the release. ;)
I'm very font of this hack, but I noticed some things you could improve/fix:

Music 1- Six years ago (boat music kinda doesn't fit)
Music 2- When mom's in front of the statue (Should music change; the moment is supposedly touching, the happy music of the town)
Text Mistakes- Apostrophes, capitals, (Aide, Man with poliwhirl, Ray/Alice, Rocket) -Also, change "Your" to "You are". Sounds better.
Text- Old lady "I don't suppose you've seen Ray?" (Yeah,
Text- PokeBallS
Text- Rival before Oakwood (Received* not recieved)
Visual- flower animation
General- very easy lvling, Rare Pokemon

Also, noticed a paradox and a glitch:

Glitch:

And he took me to Cedar's lab. -.-

Paradox:
Spoiler:
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/2388/omg2c.pngAfter the guy shows you how to jump (lol), you can just land on him from that ledge. Common paradox. XD

All the major errors you've found have been fixed.
But I don't see what you mean here -
capitals, (Aide, Man with poliwhirl, Ray/Alice, Rocket).
These are important characters so require a capital letter.
Also 'your' mean's it's the persons where as 'you are' refers to something you are going to do. So that will stay.
Thank you very much for you're feedback :)

Any suggestions for music then?

Love to hear some.
You know my email.

astar_01 October 3rd, 2010 12:42 PM

Updates:

It's that time again... Update time! Yay...

So what have I got to show you today?
Well some new graphics and some 5th Gen Pokémon.

I'll talk first about the new graphics as they aren't set in stone yet, it depends on your feedback towards them.

To allow you to make a fair comparison here is the graphics before the change:

http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/33/pokemongreyold.png

And here are the new ones, Credit to Master Of Puppets I believe:

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2599/pokemongreynew.png

Please read the bottom of this post before posting about the tiles.

So let me know which one you prefer, In the end I might just release 2 versions of beta 1.0 with different graphics to allow people to choose.

As for the 5th Gen Pokémon they are:

Meraruba:
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3452/pokemongreym.png

And Urugamosu:
http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3359/pokemongreyu.png

These two will be playing a crucial role in Pokémon Grey, but more of that later. Obviously once I find out more english information about this pair I will change the dex data and names. :)

Let me know what you think, thanks!

Edit:

After much consideration I have decided to scrap the new graphics and keep the old ones.
This is down to several reasons including mine and other members opinions.
I would just like to take this space to thank Ray Maverick for taking the time to insert the new graphics.
Without him the option wouldn't of even been available.
He truly is an asset to this hack, thanks Ray. :)

Pokémon Grey will continue to look like this:

Well, those other trees looked alrite if you ask me!

Alignment October 3rd, 2010 2:25 PM

I'd pretty much agree with your idea to keep the old graphics, I for one like them better. I wouldn't suppose you still have the new graphics? If you do I wonder if it'd look good with the old pals.

TB Pro October 3rd, 2010 2:29 PM

I kind of preferred the new graphics(they're Zein's btw), but I also would like to see them with the old pals. It's your choice, but I prefer the new ones. ;3

I have the old and new in different copies of the rom, so I can easily change pals and have a mess around.

Lol, I've had a completely different response on a different forum, everyone there prefered the old graphics.
I shall take a look into it, do a bit of palette swapping, talk to my mapper and see what we think.
I think it would be safe to say, the old graphics will be in Beta 1.0.
And if there is a new look coming, it will show it's face in beta 2.0.

News:

Cross Promoting! yay!
Pokémon Trainer Grey is going to be showing his face in a couple of other hacks around here...
Think of it like Dante with Never B/W.

So what will Grey be staring in?
Well to start with:

Pokémon DarkGrey - Flygon.

Baronnecro October 5th, 2010 7:19 AM

BARON
is not the correct work in this circumstance.

As you can see BARREN is the right word this time round. :)

I've gotta admit I really don't like fakemon, especially any I could make.
They generally look terrible with a few exceptions. :)

Baronnecro October 5th, 2010 9:14 AM

yeah what you said about barren... I was referring to your trees and soil for berries. make sure you put barren in there not "baron". ASTAR_01 I like all your shots on Pokemon Grey, when are you releasing a beta or your next version of it? I really want to try it out. also my last question is posssibly an ignorant one.. it seems Emerald has more stuff than FireRed why did you use FireRed not Emerald as a basis for your hack?

Don't worry, I realised a while back that Baron was a typo so in game they all say Barren which is correct.
Pokémon Grey's first beta is over 50% complete
I've had testers test what I've done and there happy with it so it's just a case of scripting the rest.
As for why I use FireRed, its due to many reasons:

- I like the Overworlds.
- I like the help menu. (lol what?).
- I like the intro with the professor.
- JPAN's engine runs on it.
- I know how to make real time events on it.
- There is many others.

At this moment in time I prefer FireRed.
Oh and call me Astar. :)

nasonex October 5th, 2010 8:56 PM

It's great to hear that it's already at 50% Hands up Astar! :D

Well, what I want to see now is the scripts. I know that
it'll be hard to make but once you complete it, it'll be the
best feeling! :P

Astar, good luck and another two thumbs up for this! (b' ')b

astar_01 October 7th, 2010 10:54 AM

Updates:

Today I got motivated to script and this is the result.

http://romhacktube.com/video/XU2GX1KBDR6G/Pokémon-Grey--Gatehouse-Event

For now you will have to click the link to view it.
I don't know how to display it on the forum.

There are three things I will change later that show up in this video.

1. It says SHIFT instead of shift in the Pokemon party menu.
2. The fadescreen occurs to quickly for my taste.
3. The admin should face left at the beginning.

Seriously, I could kick myself for making those errors.
I'm just too tired right now to fix them and make the video all over again tonight.

If you see any bugs let me know.
Enjoy the video, oh and skip the Pokemon battle! (it goes on forever due to sand-attack)...

Astar, it seems that these 2 reasons are not making Fire Red stand out.
To be honest, you can insert ALL FR of the OWs in Pokemon Ruby or Emerald.
The Help Menu is basically useless - I doubt that many people would even try using the Menu...

But that doesn't matter - your Hack is good, with the tiles and stuff...
So, good luck, and don't quit - OK?

Baronnecro October 8th, 2010 3:53 AM

yes Astar keep up the good work. I do indeed support pokemon Grey

Ok, so my reasons did suck...
I thought of them off the top of my head without thinking.
There are many reasons why I prefer FireRed which I could of used.
Help Menu? What was I thinking...Anyway.
In the past I have hacked all the 3rd Generation games and in my honest opinion I'm in my comfort zone with FireRed.
It has everything I want my hack to do currently :)

As for the other part, thank you...
I don't plan on quitting. :)

Thank you, I've gotta say, I'm on par between Corphish and Shroomish.
I love those Hoenn Pokémon!
Thank you, I shall keep up the good work.

News:

I haven't done any hacking tonight (Boo!)... :(
But I have updated the first thread (And?). :D
It now contains a fixed video of the Team Rocket event.
It also contains some smexy Fan Art made by myself.
The Fan Art part of the thread is public meaning anyone who wants to, can contribute if it meets a set requirement.

That's it for today, more soon! :D
