One of the greatest questions ever asked: What is the Universe. Space and Time. Two parallel forces that control everything we know. Space, the power of all things with matter. Time, the ability to make things pass through periods of energy. What if time was space and space was time? Dialga, ruler of time, Palkia, ruler of space, are only minions of the true forces of nature. They are creations of the Alpha Pokemon, Arceus. But from where was Arceus Born? Space and Time Matter and Energy Xigema and Xenergea ---------- The Ancient Mayans where people that devoted their lives to learning the way of time and space. They spent centuries, even millenia creating one device that shaped the common thing we call today, as days, nights, weeks, years, and even seconds. The Calender. 900 AD - The Mayans were invaded by the spanish, but before that, One night, the Mayans were visited by a dying Arceus. Arceus had created a portal to their world to warn them of the horrible thing that would happen on December 22nd, 2012. The Arceus had come from the Event barely with it's life. The Arceus collapsed and faded into nothingness. The Mayans stopped the calender, showing the last day on earth, warning the future people of the horrible things to come. December 21st, 2012 STORY Allen / Ellen Hazel, the son / daughter of Alexis Hazel, renowned pokemon professor in the Shikoku Region. The professor, Hazel has been missing for 9 YEARS. The child's father, Robert Hazel, Had gone to look for Alexis, leaving his child, age 1 in the hands of his closest friend, Arnold Paris. Now, you, the child, have turned 10 on December 22nd, 2011, one year before the world will end, and you have decided to find your parents. Taking one starter pokemon from Arnold, you set off on your quest to find your parents. Team Twilight, an evil band of powerful trainers is coming together to find the legendary pokemon Xigema (Guardian of Darkness) / Xenergea (Guardian of Light) so that they can lure the other out, and claim the power of both Xigema, and Xenergea, who combined have the ability to fulfill the plans of their leader's fathers old team. Create a new world. And Xavier, son of Cyrus and founder of Twilight, has a plan to do it. You, as the hero, must travel through the shikoku region, beating trainers, collecting pokemon, find your parents, stop Team Twilight, and all before December 22nd, 2012, or the world will fall. NEW FEATURES NEW BATTLING SYSTEM In the Shikoku Region, Pokemon are classified by their various auras, as what kind of creature they are. There are still 18 elements, but they have changed. Elements: 1. Fire 2. Earth 3. Water 4. Air 5. Basic 6. Electricity 7. Metal 8. Light 9. Darkness 10. Space 11. Plants 12. Ice 13. Magic 14. Toxic 15. Spirit 16. Bug 17. Strength 18. Legend Also, the moves are branched into three categories, Physical, Magical, and Health. Each category contains four types of moves, Physical (In order of weakest - strognest): (Element) Attack, (Element) STrike, (Element) Death, and (Element) FInale. Special: (E) Force, (E) Shot, (E) Blast, (E) Finale. Health: (E) Heal (Heals self), (E) Curse (E) Status Effects opponent, (E) Guard (Hightens defense), (E) Finale (All of the Health effects) The first listed move is power 60, then 80, then 100, then 150 More Info: First Level Moves have strength 60, are named attack / force, have 100 accuracy, 30pp, and affect one opponent Second level moves have strength 80, are named strike / shot, have 90 accuracy, 20pp, and affect one opponent Third level moves have strength 100, are named death / blast, have 80 accuracy, 10pp, and affect one opponent Finale moves have strength 150, are named finale, have 75 accuracy, 5pp, and affect one opponent First Level Health moves heal the pokemon, 10pp, and are named heal Second level health moves effect the status of an opponent (look at chart below), 10pp, and are named curse Third Level health moves raise defense / special defense from the type same as the move, 10pp, and are named guard There isn't a status effect for every type so the status effects from each move type are shown below Status Effect - Moves that cause it Burn - Fire Curse, Legend Curse, Light Curse Poison - Toxic Curse, Plant Curse, Bug Curse Freeze - Water Curse, Ice Curse, Air Curse, Space Curse Paralyze - Electric Curse, Metal Curse, Strength Curse, Earth Curse Sleep - Magic Curse, Basic Curse, Dark Curse, Spirit Curse Also Because of basic thought, there is no physical branch of moves for magic or spirit. Likewise, there is no magical branch of moves for Strength EVOLUTION Instead of the normal, all evolving at different levels, the forces of nature cause pokemon to evolve at levels 15, and 30 (If a family of 3), or 20 if just one evolution YEAR SYSTEM Because of the main concept of the game being the countdown to 2012, 12 main events in the storyline occur. The Prologue is from December 22nd, they day you get the pokemon, to December 31st, when you finally set out for your adventure. The events in each month that allow you to move to the next month are as follows: January - Beat Xavier for the first time February - Defeat Zeke March - Discover the giant Diamond and Obsidian at the top of Mt. Aeros April - Defeat Evelyn at the Twilight Hideout May - Escape from the Shikoku ruins and the wild Vulcanux legendary June - Return to the mainland and away from the wild Uranux Legendary July - Defeat Xavier a second time at Twilight Base August - Win at the Shikoku Championship Battle to get the Obsidian Trophy September - Defeat Alyx in the underground mine October - Steal the Royal Sceptor November - Fight Lucas one on one December - Fight Team Twilights Xigema (GD) / Xenergea (GL) with the Xenergea (GD) / Xigema (GL) and save the Universe 113 Brand new Fakemon! CREDITS This hack was made by me. Because it was made by me, you can use it to make hacks of your own. You can take some scripts, trainer sprites, or even a prequel / sequel to the game as long as you give credit to me. Tools Used: Advance map APE XSE ASE UNLZ-GB VBA YAPE Attack Editor Advance Trainer Hex Workshop Also, I need to say: Sprites by Samson, and Map Inserted by SPG UPDATES New Pokedex System: In this game, you don't get the pokedex until you beat the final boss. SO the pokedex is different. In the anime, James from Team Rocket uses Pokemon Cards to identify species. The same is for this game. As a ten year old, you collect trading cards, and yours apokemon cards which you start of with 10, then you find various ammounts of them scattered about the region that tell you about the pokemon. These can be read in the "Card Holder" Key item section in the bag. Secret Ending: If you complete a certain amount of extra tasks (more on this later) then you will see the secret ending that shows why, even though in the pokemon games, it's all happening near 2012, why pokemon do not exist in our world.

Hmm the story seems cool and the whole elemment thing is pretty spiffy as-well. My biggest qualm would have to be the maps. the outdoor make looks weak, too manys flowers. Kind of looks like it's in the middle of nowhere, know what I mean. One of the screenshots 404'ed and the shot with Koga and the Hero in the cave looks funny to me. Hope to see improvements. Good luck with this.
|
Thanx, I am working on new overworld sprites as koga looks the closest to Xavier at this point. The house where he first fights Koga was supposed to look like it was in a meadow, similar to where ash lives in the anime (but not at all about ash or based on him, just as a reference)
But Thanx for the Tips |
wow someone made a hack based on 2012! this is gonna be great
creative about the types and the attacks cant wait to play this "disastrous" game LOL XD |
This looks rather interesting. A unique story idea, and the elements thing seems pretty cool. Awaiting a release :)
|
K guys, thanx for the comments.
Around December 31-January 4th I'm going to need some beta testers, so can anyone help me out by testing the beta? It's not quite done yet but I would send you a link ~BLAZE |
Seems interesting!
Things I'm worried about: Card Holder Key item, Such a feature would require heavy ASM, really! You have to have a layout you have to be able to open the item ect... Kudos to you if you've already made it. things that would be interesting: I would like to see the storyline dialogs to kinda rush you, you have all the time you want, but give it some suspence, like when you meet certain people "Did you hear about those earthquakes, Ha. There's only 17 days before this miserable world has come to it's end, and there's nothing you can do about it." |
Well about the card holder, I'm transforming the berry pouch, and also using free space to make it. Berries will become cards, but there is more space so when im done, I hope I can add in a few important (or at least common) berries like oran or pecha
On note of the suspense factor, originally I was going to input real-life data and dates so that you would actually have as many days to the 22nd (of any year) as when you started, but then when nintendo added seasons, I wanted to add seasons as well, and because of the secret ending, the game was able to loop, allowing you to play as many years as you want, with the whole time-space continuim mess, but I'm not spilling the secret ending (you may think I have, but the ending is much more cryptic) I am worried about having enough space, and possibly even making a second game to cut the storyline in half, just for enough space, but I am trying to make parts short, so no matter what, I feel the game will have just enough suspense to keep it interesting Thanx for the concerns, as I feel the same way about all the data ~BLAZE |

thanx, I'll send you a link when it's done and uploaded
I just need you to say, if like everything runs smoothly, and glitches you find, thaings that can be improved...etc. basic tester stuff ~BLAZE EDIT: Okay, the Beta may actually take longer as I will have to insert sprites the old-fashioned way, as my tool for inserting sprites is glitching, and the person is only now working on a fix,so maybe January tenth at worst sorry for the delay ~BLAZE |
Quote:
|
I can help beta test. I'll be sure to report anything glitchy or improveable. Also, i don't know if you want an experienced tester, but this will be my first test if you allow me to help, so yea.
|
Well it would be best to have a response from experienced, and beginner to see if all goes well.
Thanx ~BLAZE |
Okay, thanks for the acceptance. can't wait for the beta. also, the link for the third screenshot is broken.
|
May I be a beta tester? I liked the game, it has some great feature :D
|
Yeah, you guys can test the beta
Thanx ultima1 for the support I'm working on a support banner if you want to add it in your sig ~BLAZE |
Message me the banner when it's done, and do you have the title page done yet?
|
K, and I have the design, but only the logo, pokemon, and pokemon cry have been edited so far
~BLAZE |
This is interesting, do you think you could tell a little more about the secret end? :)
|
1 question are you going to have it set up like a day night system and make the character stop for the night,so it is possible to see a small scene of the 'end of the world'
Also,if you need another beta tester i am willing to do it |
Wow, this looks amazing, I can't wait to try it! And if you need any help with spriting then I'll be happy to help.
|
Um, if I tell more about the secret ending, I'd have been wasting space typing "secret" the whole time
It won't be like day and night, as I can't edit the game for it to have a constant time keeping-feature, just events ~BLAZE EDIT: Temporary Userbars for supporters: http://userbars.freehostia.com/templates.php?isImage=true&txt=POKEMON 2012 : GUARDIAN OF LIGHT&background=pictures/4.png http://userbars.freehostia.com/templates.php?isImage=true&txt=POKEMON 2012 : GUARDIAN OF DARKNESS&background=pictures/5.png |
Finally an air type! Flying type should be changed to air type in the new games.
I want to see how the hack is related to 2012. |
I really love how you mixed Pokemon and reality together. It makes things sound more interesting.
Except the part when they 'create a new world' sounds like Platinum, when Cyrus uses them... But still, it seems interesting. And the way you added new types into the hack I think is fun. And the moves are classified also. It's like an entire Pokemon remake with elements and stuff. But I advise you insert new tiles, to make everything fit in. Overall, I think this hack has some interesting original ideas. Good luck. |
Story sounds pretty cool, although the mapping could improve. There are just way too many lowers scattered all over the place. And trees also shouldn't be just randomly scattered like that :\
|
Happy Holidays
Yeah, I know about the maps. The flowers, it's in a meadow, and the trees, if they're all basically in rows, that sucks, like in palette town. I just put them scattered to make it more realistic. But thanx about the story.
I probably won'tcome on at all tomorrow, because were celebrating the holidays. So to all of ya, http://he.cooltext.com/rendered/cooltext491254276.gif |
Are there going to be any fakemon in this game?
|
all the pokemon (except if the fakemon is evo / preevo of current pokemon) are fakemon, I guess I never said that
~BLAZE EDIT: I realize there may be some questions about the game, so if anyone wants to ask a question, just ask like a very long press conference ~BLAZE |
The game sounds really interesting, though I can't help to think about vampires and nobodies after hearing the names of the evil team/mascot pokemon. :S I can't wait to hear about those new types. |
I've added a Shikoku Region Map to the first post, but here it is, also:
http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5425/shikokuregionmap.png ~BLAZE |
Man, this looks awesome! I love how you're kindof turning pokemon into a Final Fantasy type thing.
|
Thanx,
and everyone remember to co0me back here on the 10th, as the first beta should be released to my beta testers, so not long after it will be ready for everyone else! ~BLAZE |
How many testers do you have?
I'm asking simply wondering why you don't just do a open beta, you can find glitches faster. (unless of course this beta is still rough) |
I already have quite a few testers, and doing open betas is a really bad idea, because if there are bugs and glitches I didn't catch, that would be a real bad thing to show for my first hack, here at least
~BLAZE |
Yeah, I started thinking that, a lot of people will judge you by a first beta even if you say that it has a lot of bugs already
|
No I have beta testers to make sure there are no glitches, I don't think there are, but it's good to have people heck before putting it out in the public
~BLAZE |
Trust me, there will probably be a glitch left over anyway, but yeah testing lowers them a lot
|
Exactly
And to make this chain of messages not spam, I will make this an update There is a new character added into the mix, Arnolds son, Robert is a playful rival who is three years older than the main character, teases you, and fights you once a month ~BLAZE |
Aren't I one of the testers cause I never got the hack rom?
|
You are but i said id send it out on the tenth
~BLAZE |
A hack about 2012 o_O? This better not be given up because this seems like a good hack and if made right could be as popular as Zel's ShinyGold (even though it's a low chance). Anyway I don't know if it's to late but I would like to beta test this. :D
|
Interesting hack, there is quite a few unique features in there. :)
Good luck with this project. |
We have two days left until the beta is sent to my testers, and the hack is wrapping up nicely at this point! :)
|
How many month's are gonna be in the first beta :) oh and are there gonna be any screenshots :P

Pokemon 2012 the hack, with this same storyline was originally a hack made by MayanMan2012. Unless he / she has given you special permission, this is in violation of the Progressing Hack rules, which state that you CANNOT steal hacks, add a few features, and make it your own. Until we know you did not steal this idea and he did give you permission, you will be unable to upload any downloads for this game. Have him Private Message me when he can. Good Day. |

ANyway this hack looks good and ... to the dude i quoted There is no hack like this i checked and ... ur not a mod u cant tell him / her the they cant upload anything in fact ur mini modding which isnt allowed here ANyways BLAZQUAZA good luck :) |
Oh crap bro, this ain't cool. I sure did give my pal blaze to redo this ha k, besides if you remember right, you'd know that blaze and me made the first one together. I thought it sucked so I told him to redo it completely his own.
I'll be pming that arceus shadow guy and set this whole record straight. Sorry bro for this mess. |
Okay I have gotten confirmation form Arceus, mods, and MayanMan2012 that everything is fine
I should have the ability to upload soon enough |
I have a question, is there any way you can label the map with routes and cities?
This seems like a beast hack though |
Is there still going to be some regular pokemon along with the fakes?
|
There are going to be some regular pokemon with connections, and pikachus, but mostly just new pokes.
I was going to add another region at the end, but It seemed pretty difficult, as the closest is johto, which actually contains part of shikoku (Cianwood City) I am also now working on a pokedex that can be seen here with all the pokemon and I am about 20-25% (Lots of new stuff to add, sorry) and the beta has been pushed back a little with every update that needs to be added. Check here later, or check first post for a pokedex ~BLAZE |
I can't wait!! Do you think you can post some pictures of the fakemon?
|

When I have the pokedex done it will have pics,
actually, here (look below): ~BLAZE EDIT: Pokemon 2012 now has it's own official website! www.pokemon2012.webs.com ~BLAZE |
is the game being beta tested
and if it isn't a problem can u delete the First Beta Due for release January 5th line |
this hack reminds me of a certain game.....
i wonder *cough black* what it *cough white* could be????? |
how is this similar to black and white?
|
Once this hack is done, I'm playing it for sure. I love the new curses

I guess thats the connection. But to make this post worthwhile, here are some updates:
SilverSoul, a person I knew from PE2K, has requested permission for these two things: 1. A Manga for the games, I don't know how, but he says he can make a good manga 2. A sequel to the game, so I will give him basic storyline details. So he will be working on POKEMON 2012: GUARDIAN OF SURVIVORS SHINING LIGHT / DARKENING SHADOWS I know, long name but it is his game. so before I gave him data for his sequel, I wanted to know how you all felt about him making a sequel ~BLAZE |
Wow, there's a sequel in the works? Yours isn't even ready for a beta release yet!
...I'm soooooo for it. Plus a manga? That would be cool to check out. Your friend must be experienced in hackng if your giving him the rights to make a possible sequel to a pair of games with this much potential. |
We've actually made hacks together before so I do trust him.
~BLAZE |
Are you working on this one with him too?
|
Partially, but of course, I'm more involved with the original, so I mostly help supply basic data such as maps for him to work with. Plus he says I can always ask for a copy of his work to do some editing with.
Okay, I need some of your opinions on something, should I make the game so that your decisions make the storyline different, or should I keep it like most pokemon games? ~BLAZE |
Yuo've done really well with the scripting and storyline, but your mapping needs work. Try to stick tiles of the same type together, (don't put two different land tiles together without a "connecting" block) and trees don't grow in lines. They grow in ragged forests. Remember these 2 things and mapping becomes a lot easier.
|

|
That was my thought process too, but that would push back the beta further, and make the game a lot more complicated, with probably a lot more bugs that will have to be found.
So I want to if I can Thanks and also, yeah I know about the maps, they were at the beginning when I was just trying to experiment with the games, I want to get more screen shots in, but I have been working on the game, which I figure is more important than tweaking the thread. ~BLAZE |
If you need help with mapping I'm your guy.
|
End of the world Hack, huh?
Nice and cool. Anyways, I have a question. As the world in your game ends, will there be major earthquakes, collasping buildings and tsunamis like the ones in the American movie: 2012? (I've watched it before, and I'm quite curious about it.) |
Well at this stage the only thing I might need help with is the scripting, not maps sorry
I will have a few "Movies" in the game that show destruction, but this end of the world is brought on by the forces of space and time being unbalanced ~BLAZE |
Whoa sounds cool. How will you do that?
|
I can help you with scripting. :) just not asm still learning that ^^'
|
wow...a game where the protaganist tries to find his/her parents before 2012 happens so they can be together one last time...i bet if the game would have the graphical functions for it we could see a cutscene of them together without any worries....other than the end of the world of course. but since its gba...ah whatever. point is the story like that gets to me and sounds great :)
|
Movies? Cool, You really can do that? :o
|
This sounds amazing Man I wish i was in time to be a Beta tester I would love it. This seems like an original Idea I look forward to it....too bad i can't figure out how to see the attachment...i fail.
|
ok i hope the hack is going great cus i don't know since i am (unfourtuntly) not a beta tester hey but what the hell i will play it the it's coming out(which i hope is soon but i think you should add some more screenshoots
|
Dude, are you ever actually going to make this hack? PM me, cause I would like to make it if you won't
|
MayanMan2012, that counts as thread revival, which is against the rules. Please, be sure to check the dates of the latest valid post in a thread before posting- it's against the rules to post if more than a month has passed since the last valid post.
And so... Closed~ |
