Pokemon - FireRed +Plus (orange)
Lets try this again (got more time to write it up right)
http://lsaentertainment.yolasite.com/resources/Title%20Screen.PNG Pokemon - FireRed +Plus is a hack of Pokemon - FireRed (obviously) but the difference is the added content. The useless Sevii Islands have been removed and replaced with the Orange Islands. My story: Spoiler:
Games story Spoiler:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EN4fn3gz65k League info Spoiler:
There is so much planned for this hack it will be exciting for players to finally get to play through all of the orange league. there will be cameo aperances from memorable pokemon from the anime (crystal onix and pink rhyhorn) and also team rocket will have "altered" pokemon that will be a challange to defeat. while you cannot go to all of the islands ash went to, this extra content should prove enjoyable and challanging for most pokemon fans. Features: Spoiler:
Screenshots: Spoiler:
Videos: Spoiler:
I am not really looking for help, to be honest the hard work is already finished(adding pokemon, sprites and editing certian aspects of how the game works, aswell as removing all instances of sevii from kanto and reworking how the boatman works and most of the complicated stuff), I simply have to make the maps and string the story together. I would love to hear ideas of fun things to add in the Orange Islands to make the game more fufilling... if you have any. the story is not 100% yet, I have you chasing team rocket all the way to mandarin island where they will be mining gold and silver (which is a mask for their real goal of finding lugia and hooh) but I dont know how that is all going to play out. we shall see when I get there (putting the finishing touches on Mikan island now, got a ways to go before I get to mandarin) Here is a map that I will update as more of the world gets made... you can check the progress by watching the map grow.: http://lsaentertainment.yolasite.com/resources/1ORANGE%20ISLANDS.jpg Credits Spoiler:

This looks great! im looking forward for the completion of this :D
|
Sounds good since orange islands have never appeared in a game ( excluding hacks : pokemon naranja and orange generations which were never complete )
But since it adds only new post-e4 story ,it's not a major overhaul and it retains the fire red story I think it should be moved in Sideshow Showcase. |
well your idea is nice since there isn't any complete hack with the orange islands as the guy said above me, but in my opinion you should change somehow the main story because there are too many hacks based on fire red.I don't think there are still many people that would play all over again the same old fire red with an extra story after the e4.So I think that you should either add something more or this should be moved to sideshow Showcase(?).
Anyways good luck with it! |
Sounds really good so far. I'll definitely be watching this thread. What's funny is that I saw this right when I was thinking about playing Ultra Violet. I wish you the best of luck!
|
Umm. Just a suggestion, no offense but, if you want this hack to be more appreciated, more enticing to play, and worth the wait, add more personal detail into it. Add better tiles, change the sprites, change the storyline a bit if you still want to retain the FR flavor. Everybody wants a graphically sweet hack.
Anyways, more power! I will be playing it whatever happens though. |
Looks a like a good idea. Naranja was never finished. I hope this hack will bring adventure of Orange Island. I can't wait for it to be completed.
|
Hey, Orange island! Hey, I'll wait for this one. Good luck there!
you're the guy with brains. |
Would be nice if you include Cassidy&FutchButch and Jessie&James instead of the generic grunts.
How much is actually complete? Looking forward to play this. |

I just finished Mikan island (might add a few more trainer battles) which is where you get your first orange league fight... its on to make more ocean, then I have 3 more "less important" islands before the largest island with the most story will be (mandarin island) then another 3 islands after (9 total islands but I am considering more) I have finished most of the inserting of everything I will need, unique pokemon, all gym leaders, most of their sprites (I am saving a few of them to see if I need 1 frame 3 or all 8) all the "game altering" is done just know all your suggestions are being read and considered... as far as moving the thread, thats not my decision (if a mod moves it then it gets moved, no big deal) |
So pikachu will be the starter? Also please make it so all the legendary pokemon at that pwriod of time are able to be caught. Also please add pokemon contest in most citys. Like the show. And mabye have your main pokemon in party walk with you,
|
Ah, another attempt at an "Orange Island" hack I see. I think this will be the first completed one, as long as you don't give up anyway. One question though...

Pokémon contests would also involve a ton of work. There is a good chance that most of the data for them that was present in RS will have been removed. These won't be fun to put back. I don't mean to come off as condecending, but I am merely stating the facts. ------ Hey James, looks pretty good. I have completely played Naranja, and I must say, it was decent, however it was riddled with bugs and errors. Granted, it was released a long time ago. So, withen the circumstances of its time, it was pretty decent, however it won't be able to match the new things that have been discovered and refined. I wish you the best of luck! Also, Liquid Crystal has the Orange Islands in it. They aren't finished yet, but they might give you some competition:p, Jambo and LaZ know their crap, haha. |

on another note... i ran into a huge problem... it apears that maps can only have 4 map connections... which is an issue for making awide open (freerange) ocean... I will have to remake some of the maps and make the rest interact creatively... instead of having 3 maps to make valencia, it will have one big one... its going to get complicated but in the end I think I can still do everything I have planned... |
Quote:
I know, but there are some games with contest like light platinum (maybe because its a ruby hack) anyways these weee just suggestions. |
Why does awesome hacks always receive so little attention? I love your style ;)
|
Love the idea, add in a different texture pack, some twist in the 18 gym badge story, and an original take on Firered and you there then have my interest.
|
yay for this thread!! I'm so excited! you've been doing great work :D
|
I can't wait for the beta of this to come out i'm totally going to play it!
|
Do you think this should be a sideshow hack because there is no changes to the Kanto region? Could do something to Kanto like adding events and areas but not a change to the regional dex :)
|
Oh! It's nice to see someone make the spiritual successor to Naranja, your mapping and scripting both look really good! This looks like it has potential man, good luck!
|
I definitely look forward to this, I tried Naranja, but never got far... Mainly because I fail at reading Spanish. >_>
However, I'm a little curious, why reduce the Pokedex? |
Quote:
im not all about smashing as many pokemon in a game as possible, I am more about having the right number of pokemon for the game you are making... many hackers have specific numbers of pokemon (150, 200) that span all 5 generations... this is nice in a full on new hack. but since my story is already layed out for me (by nintendo and the anime) I figured I would stick with their first 2 generations. onto an update ;) I reworked my overworld map (made in mspaint) so it shows exactly where all the ingame maps will be, keeping track of how many map connections they will have ;) it is possible IF none of my maps max out the possible map size limit as some will be massive (even if they are just ocean with a few rocks they will be huge) so it IS possible to have a free ocean world (assuming non maps are too big) I have decided NOT to post the map.bmp because it is very crude and only serves as a visual note for me and does not actually represent the final layout of the overworld. its more of a guideline I made to keep track of several ideas and that is all lol life has been EXTREAMLY busy for me... hunting the almighty dollar... when I have some more time I will start making the planned maps (and hopefully wont tell you they are too big) if they are to big it may be possible to break some of them in half... but it depends on the map I suppose. |
This seems like it's gonna be a pretty good hack.
|
This is one hack I actually can't wait to play. Nostalgia with an added twist. I like it

Quote:
I dunno, I always assumed that the games happened parallel to each other, rather than one after the other(only exception is B/W-B/W2). So I never questioned being able to get Pokemon from other generations in the games. |
Here is a short but important update...
After taking some time off I finally picked her back up and started repairing my maps to deal with the map connection issues... ALL my maps have been fixed and I have added several more... the unknown puzzle has been worked into the orange islands and I am putting the finishing touches on the kabuto island... the massive ocean is coming together, next up will be sunburst island and then navel island (second gym leader) I have worked out how to do a speed game, you push a button and run to the gate that has been opened, if you dont mis step you can walk right through the gate, if you take too many steps (even 1 step out of line + 1 to correct it) the door will slam in your face... its not a hard challenge but its there none the less ;) Here is a video... http://youtu.be/mW7kKFDsnQk much more to come ;) |
This is a great hack... I hope you won't mind if I suggest something?
It's about the 25 vacant Pokémon slots which can be found between Celebi and Treecko... I think you can use that for those specials instead of the Hoenn Pokémons. Hoenn Pokémons are great additions for the game I think since Orange Islands is an archipelago just like Hoenn... Besides Kyogre is a good addition to the story... :) And uhm, just a question, will it include the Lugia event in the second movie I think that takes place on Orange Islands? Thanks and my apologies to my suggestions if it makes you mad... |

Really Cool, also i missed playing FireRed... so i replay it with extra orange region :D Yayyy
Waiting the final release! and Ty good work on it! |
Quote:
as for lugia... he will have a major role in the events in the orange islands... but it cannot be like the movie... mostly cause the articuno and zapdos are in kanto... (not sure if im going to put moltres back in kanto or in orange islands, i just realized he was in sevii... oops) im going to go with the silver wing (and rainbow wing) like in gold and silver... team rocket are working in an old gold and silver mine, trying to find, lugia who is rumored to be sleeping deep in the mtn they are mining... they will find his chamber but he wont be there till you show up with the silver wing... that you will get in another event... somewhere... hooh will be ontop of the mtn that contains the mine... but of course you need the rainbow wing to get him to appear... but anyway.. thats why they stole the gs ball... hoping to use it somehow to make lugia appear... ooo ok... just had an awesome idea for the story... Team rocket started working in the mine when they herd about the rumors of lugia... and they stole the GS ball because they herd that Prof. Ivy found it in that old mine... so they think it holds a key to finding lugia (which it does not) after retrieving the GS ball if you talk to Prof. Ivy she will give you the silver wing... something else she found in the mine... and the rainbow wing can be given to you once you beat the orange league... and celebi will be in the GS ball but it wont be opened till after you complete the pokedex (250) guess that covers all the legendaries (the 3 dogs will be released into kanto like they were in ultra violet... not till after beating the rockets in the mine tho) |
I updated the main post with some videos... enjoy..
I just finished the crystal Onix event... that was the last thing I needed to do on Sunburst Island... now its time to make more ocean then Navel island... which is a massive mountian that you must climb to get to the gym leader... no place to heal before the fight either... but after the fight you will have access to the hot springs... which is also where you can get rocksmash... which will allow you to get into the cave that holds the crystal onix (i know you gotta backtrack... what a douche) its not really backtracking if you took the first gym leaders advice and went to navel first... then found sunburst later... but sunburst is closer to mikan island... oh well |
I think we can disable the Pokédex event when using the 25 slots and there should be no problem...
Where and how did you put the Crystal Onix and Pink Rhyhorn in the game? Will there be a Shadow Lugia also? Thanks again... |
Quote:
removing them entirely was about the story. it needed to be a completable pokedex because that is the trigger that will allow you to open the GSball... when you talk to oak with 250 pokes in yoru pokdex he will tell you about how he finally got it open pink rhyhorn will just be a kid that has one and he mentions he just came from pinkin island... which is an island you cannot get too... so its unobtainable... crystal onix is just a shiny onix... i recolored the sprite... thats all (there is a vid, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftlc7-ZZMtk) there are other pokemon from the series that are like pink rhyhorn... just in trainers teams and unobtainable to you... the rocket pokemon are only on rockets teams... they are stat boosted and recolored pokemon with the best attacks that each pokemon can learn, they also have altered types... and are unobtainable removing hoenn pokemon was a decision based on the story and It was far easier to reuse their slots than work around the free slot issues. as for shadow lugia... it will probably not be in the game... but i cannot be 100% sure on that yet... |
Quote:
Shadow lugia needs to be in the game. If you want, I can help you pull off some awesome stuff for it:D. But yeah, Hoenn needed to be removed based on how much needed to be added and it would make it much easier. This is also the creators choice, the one who did all of the work, so don't say any more about it. Also, if you want to just battle a pink Ryhorn but never have it availible outside of that one battle, I can pull off some quick ASM (that already have written up for my hack) to allow a sprite switch if you would like. |

Spoiler:
I have not placed it in the game yet... and ive been replacing all the sevii trainers into the orange islands... I will alter their levels later when I place wile pokemon... but ive been replacing all standard pokemon in the opponents teams with orange pokemon... like the butterfree and vileplume... would you believe there is only 1 rhyhorn in sevii, 1 vileplume... and NO butterfree... so ill have to add in the butterfree somewhere (not hard to place a butterfree, any bug catcher will be happy with one) or make a whole new opponent with one (also not hard to do, lots of free battle spaces) and for those wondering... those are the 3 pokemon from the series that you can see but not catch... I made all their sprites ;) Spoiler:
other than those three and crystal onix there is one more you may recognize from the series... but i think it is in an episode from kanto... and ill keep it a secret ;) |
Shadow Lugia has been added to the game... but is a lil different than most shadow lugia sprites ive found...
i tried looking for a good sprite (after researching shadow lugia of course) and most sprites made shadow lugia all dark or purple... neither of which are correct... shadow lugias palette is supposed to be inversed from regular lugia... so since the fire red lugia is blue and white (ish) i simply replaced its palette backwards... so shadow lugia is white and blue (ish)... its just brighter than the images because the xd lugia is darker its inversed palette is darker... fr lugia is happy ;) anyway, im not 100% sold on the story yet... ill have to revise it, team rocket will get this lugia and after you defeat it it reverts to the normal one and you can then find and capture the regular one... something like that... |
This looks pretty good and I've wanted this forever, but I honestly don't buy the Shadow Lugia thing...that's from Pokemon XD. Why not just stay true to the anime and play out a scene on Shamouti Island like in Pokemon 2000, with team rocket capturing the 3 legendary birds and freeing Lugia. I just feel that it would be more realistic and true to the anime, obviously taking creative liberties isn't a problem, but Shadow Lugia is really going off on a tangent. Also, will Butch and Cassidy be in this game? You better include the episode where they control all the Pokemon in N. Mandarin with a radio signal haha x]
Also, is Marill in the orange islands, would be cool if we could use him. |
Quote:
as for lugia and pokemon 2000... i cant do it like the movie... cause in theory the player should already own zapdose and articuno... while I could make them not appear in their regular spot till AFTER this event, it would be aweful to not get any legendaries before beating the game... cause all orange island adventure is post game... I am not attempting to recreate the anime... (i think there is a hack for that ashgray) it is the players adventure (like how firered is not ash's adventure thru kanto) but having team rocket mind controll pokemon could be fun... cause your not the first person to ask for it (guess it was a popular episode) i doubt ill be adding butch and cassidy due to them being direct characters from the anime... it would just be... rocket admins or something more game like... I am considering having a lead rocket member other than giovanni running the orange operation tho... any suggestions (or should it just be more admin and generic badguys) im thinking a bad guy that does not accept that team rocket was defeated... cause he is so far away from kanto he does not really take orders from giovanni... just reports to him... see where im going... i had more to say... but i gotta run... oh yeah... marill is a 2nd gen pokemon so it will be in the orange islands... |
Quote:
You can take that Team Rocket guy who appeared in the 4.th movie, I forgot his name and he disobeyed Giovanni. |
So... I have updated the digging mini game:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59OI28Nc8XA instead of costing $500 it now costs $10,000 (alot just to borrow a shovel right) and the item percentages have been lowered aswell... here are your prizes and percentages: Item: Percentage(ammount out of 42 plots) UltraBall 5%(2.1) HyperPotion 6%(2.52) RareCandy 3%(1.26) Nugget 3%(1.26) PPup 2%(0.84) PPMax 1%(0.42) TOTAL: 20%(8.4) and I ran 5 tests... ITEM (cost) #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 TOTAL: UltraBall(600) 5 2 0 3 1 11 HyperPotion(600) 1 2 4 2 4 13 RareCandy(2400) 1 2 2 0 2 7 Nugget(5000) 1 2 1 0 1 5 PPup(4900) 0 3 1 2 1 7 PPMax(4900) 0 0 0 1 1 2 TOTAL: -8 -11 -8 -8 -10 Avg:-9 according to this most of the numbers match the percentages programmed above... ppup and nugget seem to be a lil off but the rest are on par. if you sold every item you found you are almost guaranteed to make a profit: Money 1-$11000 2-$22100 3-$17100 4-$17700 5-$22600 Profit:$40500 but of course keeping these items lowers your profits, only selling the nuggets makes the player lose money, but you did get 7 ppups and 2 ppmaxs for $25000 if you sold the nuggets ;) its still not really a gamble... but it atleast makes more since. |
So is it gonna be like ash gray?
|
Quote:
either that or you cannot read... |
Didn't pokemon 2000 take place on the sevii islands, or on the orange islands? I honestly forget. But I hope there are gonna be some legendarys in this game.

Now, if you let me suggest a couple of things, I totally agree with the Pokemon 2000 movie idea, it would be just epic, and it allows you to involve the non-giovanni rocket team leader in a good way (as you can make him be the one who captured and gathered the legendary birds) and even mix it a bit with the shadow lugia thing (you know, he gathers birds, awaken bird, then turns it into a shadow being trying to control it [the how is up to your scripting skills (?]). It doesn't even have to be a "legendary-capture" event, well, maybe Moltres as he lost his "home", but Lugia can still go back to your mine for a "rocket 2nd attempt" on capturing it. As for the "there won't be legendaries before the end of the game if i do that" you could just add some regular-with-special-moveset pokemon, (I was about to suggest a frozen charizard that befriends you after melting the ice, but that's orange lol) or maybe dropping the ho oh - lugia relationship for once and making ho-oh appear much earlier (since it was the first legendary to appear on kanto in the anime) or even.... Ok I got carried away so I'll just put this idea on spoiler: Spoiler:
Well, anyways, those are just ideas, not sure you remember me but yeah, i like to let my mind run wild with this stuff |
while I could (rather easily) make the first movie event... the 2000 movie will be alot herder... and Im not trying to mess with FireRed's kanto... the point is for it to be the players adventure not ash's adventure from the anime (and movies)
Moltres will either be in the Orange Islands OR ill put it back where it was in original red... I have not decided. |
You rock man!!!!! I REALLY CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY THIS!!
I read the whole post..some great ideas and i really liked the first movie event idea! Hope you include it.. Good luck building this! First orange islands hack i actually want to play!!! |
Quote:
However, if you consider it would be too hard, i won't disagree. My imagination drives me to unknown lands of a load of coding and sprites, and stuff.. Because I think of it as something that needs three islands, three shrines for three evolve stones (*), and a ship that unites all of these; plus the extra "details" and yeah, it sounds like too much job for a "side-story", and let's not get into the space it would require. Spoiler:
(*) Gotta be evolve stones, right? it's the closest match lol. Anyways, it's your hack man, and your story, i totally respect it, it's cool to leave Kanto as it is and concentrate the hack on a well developed extra-story post e4. But you've gotta admit it would be cool to add stuff like that despite the ****ing load of work it is lol; if i knew how to hack i'd try myself, but it'd surely be crap on my hands, as I don't even know how to properly set up the place xD. |
that gives me ideas... pretty good ones ;)
|
-UPDATE-
I know it seems like nothing is happening with this hack... and it seems I have nothing to show you... but thats cause posting is boring and hacking is not... I am progressing at a decent rate with no major hickups as of yet... things are coming along nicely... im just not screenshoting every 2 seconds... sorry ;P So far in the world of Orange Islands... Half of the islands are complete... the player can get 2 gym badges, play the unknown event, the kabuto event, the crystal onix event is completed but players cannot play it because they need rocksmash and I have not added it yet... the firs gym battle is kinda forced on the player to get them involved in the orange league, the second one is a bit more out of the way... you must climb a rather large ice mountian before Danny will even fight you. it forces the player to get and use the HM move Waterfall, which could suck if you dont want it on the pokemon you have... because the nearest PC is far away. heads up NOT EVERY ISLAND HAS A PC or mart... but most importantly this means not every island can be flown too... so eve with fly expect to do some traveling to get where you wanna go. I have just started mapping Mandarin Island, which is where most of the story progression happens... you will meet up with some friendly characters and beat up the badguys and recover the GS ball aswell as finally get the Tripass (which I will rename) to get back to kanto and give the GS ball to Oak... On mandarin island there will be 2 flyable towns, one near each beach (east and west) because mandarin island devides the orange reef into 2 separate cul-de-sacs if you will. there will be a large mountain with a gold mine where the rockets will be operating, you must infiltrate the massive mine and take out the leaders to retrieve the GS Ball I have wrote Oaks scripts as well as Ivys sothat they will both say many different things during the course of the orange quest. I started work on the world map... but since all the islands are not done I stopped... right now in game all the tiles used in the 3 sevii island maps have been removed, but I do have a new tielset with the eastern half of Orange Reef tiles inserted... I just have not finished it cause the whole map cant be done yet. After retrieving the GS ball you can take it to OAK and he will take it from you, you can also talk to IVY who will give you the Silver Wing (already scripted and the item has been added) which will call Lugia from the bottom of the Mine After beating the Orange League Champ yo uare rewarded with the Rainbow Wing, which can call Ho-oh from the Top of the mine ;) now... about the 2000 movie event... and the 1st movie event... the first movie event happened to ash... the island was mewtwos creating and would be pointless to recreate because YOU are not ash... the 2000 movie event happend to ash BUT the 3 islands were real(as real as fake tv shows get) so adding the 3 mystical bird islands is a realistic option, making it so the 3 birds dont appear in kanto is an option... so the playr will find the 3 islands and will find alters on each, by placing the proper stone on the alter the bird will be "released" into its normal spot in kanto... zapdos and articuno will be released this way... after releasing zapdos and articuno and ONLY after releasing BOTH can you go onto moltres' island and release him, who will attack you and you can catch him right there on the island. lugia is still asleep under the sea like in the movie (till you wake him with the silver wing). as for legendaries before the e4... there is only mew... sucks to be guys who need legendaries to win :) |
So what about celibe or w.e? I know the gs ball had something to do with him, is be obtainable?
|
Celebi will be given to you when you complete the pokedex (250)
that will be when Oak figures out how to open the GS Ball... Im not sure if I mentioned it before... but thats the plan... infact the script has already been put in the game (although untested) and I dont know who w.e is? |
This may sound alittle stupid but I thinm you should add tbe mewtwo event, and add one more change. Here's my idea, Mewtwo captured lugia and made him into a clone (The clone being shadow lugia)? Lugia manages to escape. Anyway the idea is there, but this would allow players to capture both lugia and shadow lugia. I know it sounds stupid tho. Anyways you could mame that explain how team rocket got shadow Lugia some how.
|
-UPDATE-
so... the fire, ice and lightning orbs from the pokemon 2000 movie have been added AND placed in KANTO. players will find the orbs, and keep them in their key items pocket until they have access to West Orange Islands... once in West Orange Islands (not mapped yet) the player must find "Trio Islands" and enter each of the 3 chambers to place the Orbs... I have scripted the events that take place on "Trio Islands" aswell as mapped the insides of the chambers... I have not mapped the actual islands yet because Im nowhere near starting on West Orange Islands... i have to finish Mandarin Island first. Articuno and Zapdos cannot be found in Kanto until AFTER the player places the orbs in their chamber (in trio islands) and the Moltres chamber cannot be entered until AFTER the Ice and Lightning Orbs have been placed. Once the player has access to Moltres's chamber and places the Fire Orb in its slot, Moltres will fight you immediately. (if you lose the fight, moltres will fight you every time you enter the chamber[till you win], even though you dont have the Fire Orb anymore) All of this has been scripted and tested ;) I "removed" articuno and zapdos by simply setting both their flags upon entering the room where you get surf (in the safari zone)... without surf the player couldnt reach either bird so there is no chance of the player seeing the birds before they are hidden away. Here is a video, ignore the random door an hidden item an Palette town... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40v4gyCEiOo ALSO... due to me placing the orbs in kanto I have slightly altered the layout of some areas... keep an eye out for subtle changes to find the orbs. |
ok, lets talk about whats left...
first I have to make a for East Mandarin Island... this town will have the hot springs event allowing players to get rocksmash and go get some things they missed due to not having it... this town is also overrun by team rocket... I have to make a desert (somehow) with an abandonded gold/silver mine in it which is being used as team rockets HQ while they hunt lugia... then I need a town in West Mandarin Island... this town will have the trainer tower event... fun fun... then I need to make all of West Orange islands... which contains 3 main islands trovita, kumquat and pumello aswell as the trio islands (fire, ice and lightning) where the mystical birds are unlocked... then there is a few touchups and itll be done... but I would like some input... I have some AWESOME ideas for mini games... I wanna make like a game town somewhere... with houses that contain mini games the player can win prizes and whatnot... WHERE should I put them? East Mandarin, West Mandarin, Trovita, Kumquat, or Pumello... keep in mind, East Mandarin will have lots to do (dealing with team rocket), West Mandarin has the Trainer Tower, Trovita and Kumquat both have gym leaders and Pumello is where you fight the Champ... Im leaning towards one of the west orange islands because mandarin will have so much on it already. but which one? |

UPDATE:
for the past few weeks this hack has been on the back burner I have been working on another "psudo secret" hack... there will be no big announcement for my current hack till it is released... sorry... BUT its nearly done (like 80%) and I will be back on FR+ in full swing as soon as I finish this one... (its a rather small hack for a private party) shouldn't take me more than 2 weeks to get her all finished up ;) I will keep you posted. |
I have a couple questions for the "default FR" side of things. Are the Pokemon appearances to be modified akin to Ultra Violet in Kanto, basically melding FireRed and LeafGreen together? Or are we looking at the exact same as FR and all the LeafGreen 'mons in that version go to the islands?
Also will we be able to have the option of catching our own starter again? I liked that idea. |
I have not placed the mojority of pokemon (thats one of the last things I do)... but most of them will probably be found in the orange islands... NOT in kanto...
I am undecided on the catch your starter event... dont know yet... |
This loooks interesting can't wait to play it.
|
I really think this is a cool idea, and I bet you can pull it off, but I only have one problem with it.
With what you said, it sounds like the rest of the game is going to stay as normal fire red, and the only thing that will change is after you beat the elite four, you go to orange islands. That's nice and all but that's only like 10-20% of game play compared to the rest of fire reds gameplay. It's a cool idea and all but I myself wouldn't play through fire red just to play through only like 1-2 hours of gameplay. |
its 4 more gyms and 1 champ... plus a large rocket event... its closer to 50% more game... so the fire red would be 66% and the orange islands would be 33% (and the whole game would be extended)
|
Hey I was wondering is the pokemon movie 1 and 2 going to be in there?
|
it has been covered in this thread... that no the first movie will not be in this hack and portions of the second movie (like the layout of the islands) will be...
this hack is not based on the anime in any way other than the islands and a few (very few) cameo apearances |
Ok how long do you think you will get done with the orange island part?
|
This hack sounds great. Can't wait for it to be completed.
|
sounds cool. can't wait for it to be completed
|
The only other orange islands hack i heard of was naranja and that was really messed up after the 2nd gym with so many glitches
Anyway ilike your story for it and if you need and spriting help just PM me |
You should make a final battle with giovanni on a lab with him having mewtwo hooked up to a machine so he can controller its and when u defeat him the lab explodes and giovanni supposedley dies (if u make a sequel he could return half android or normal wateves) and a message box pops up and;its says something like u c mewtwo flying to blah blu blah and after words u see a pokeball wit mew on it
|
so when do you expect to be releasing the final game?
|
I think their still trying to finish it and they did post that there was a secret hack they were working on.
|
I Like your Idea about adding The orange islands,but the problem is it's that old Pokemon Red story which people has been playing from 1996,It will be hard to gain more and more attention(no offense).Add some Story twist,Spices and maybe some Romances it will add a lot of fun to it plus a bit of Graphics change is also important !Btw,You Know it well because it's your hack,I am going to play it anyways!
|
I just wanted to say that I finished my other hack (pokemon Rocket Science) and have started college. so time is short. but I have begun work on finishing this hack.
;) all is good. but there is still alot to go. mostly maps and story scripting... lotsa work to do |
Awesome. Im going to check out rocket science, hopefully you finish plus orange im really looking forward to seeing it complete.
|
I think the creator is currently taking break! Maybe he'll start working on it later!
|
I dont know if I mentioned this previously but the Orange Islands are shaped like the infinity sign (a 8 on its side) with East and West seperated by Mandarin Island. As it sits now ALL of East Orange Islands are complete. to include scripting, 2 gyms, several hidden events and puzzles.
I have just completed 2 of the 4 main maps for Mandarin Island, I still need the other 2 OW maps and a massive cave system where the bulk of the story will take place. but its coming along nicely. several new mini games and cameo appearances from characters that were in the Anime. For those concerned about playing the same FR story before you get to the orange islands, I have added several new events. The mystical birds are tied into the Orange Islands. there are a few side quests you can undertake by talking to various guards. they will enlist your help in taking out some strong pokemon in the area. currently the Orange Islands have none-few wild pokemon. this is something I will do when I get all the maps finished. so I can see the big picture. as yo umay know, all gen 2 pokemon will be in the orange reef. aswell as any gen 1 pokes I feel the need to put. The only thing I have done for West Orange Reef is the a partial map for west mandarin and some scripting for a few events that go in the west... quite a ways to go before its done but its nice to be back working on it again. |
Im adding MANY sidequests to the regular firered story... here are some teasers (the vids might not make since, but some of them are just testing and it wont work exactly like this)
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu1N5IDry-I"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu1N5IDry-I[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh9iVC18B9s"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh9iVC18B9s[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCQBElTxPc8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCQBElTxPc8[/ame] and heres a teaser for east mandarin town ;) [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyZZCEzDyeg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyZZCEzDyeg[/ame] If that doesnt wet your appetite (or atleast impress you with my scripting skillz) than make your own hack and ill be sure to play it ;) |
Do you want a helping hand from me? I am a busy with my hack but maybe i'll be take out some time for you bro, because i love your hacks.
|
I dont really need any help... i recruited a mapper recently... cause im not a big fan of mapping. (I can do it tho).
Ideas dont hurt :) any good sidequests or ideas for items that do stuff. I made a chisel the works as rock smash... and i wanna make a machette to cut tall grass but i cannot find the script that cuts tall grass. if you know where it is id appreciate it lol. These items are for a trading sidequest... so they dont replace the hms. Infact you wont keep them long. |
Will you have a download link when it is completed?
|
Yes, this hack will be available everywhere :)
|
In the video with the evil Beedrills, can you complete the quest if you capture the shiny "boss?"
|
Yes, killing and catching counts as a win... running does not
|
Great hack so far quick question will you update the sprites to dpss?
|
Probably not. Remaking sprites is alot of work for little reward. Whats wrong with the fr sprites. I like hacking for content and usability, not asthetics.
you are playing 3rd gen hack... play with 3rd gen graphic lol |

Definitely looking forward to this hack!! Always thought the Orange Islands were really snubbed in the original games. From all the videos, it looks pretty sweet!!
|
Orange Island ?! Nice. Hope you finish this hack. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to this.
|
I do hope you add rivals or something lol
I loved orange islands and i was really sad when naranja's beta ended the game I hope this gets finished soon :) |
This hack looks cool!
At first, I was agonized that you had to beat Fire Red in order to even get to the hacked part, but your minigames have re-assured me! You should add a few more of those to spice up the game! |
Wow this takes me back when I played Naranja, the first ROM I ever played. I'm sure this one can turn out a lot better because of the modern hacking tools.
|
Will the be better than Naranja, that game was so glitchy
|
Playing it now. Overall great rom hack. One bug I did notice however is that Articuno is missing from Seafoam Island. Wasn't sure if this had something to do with the anime (I don't watch it) or if that simply hadn't been put in yet. Either way, terrific job, looking forward to playing the Orange Islands.

But none of the mystical birds are there. They have to be unlocked through an event in the orange islands... fyi (did you find the ice orb in seafoam?) |

Download for this hack is disponible?

I have some suggestions
I saw you were having problems with only having 4 directions that maps can connect. If you add caves that you can surf in an design the caves right, it can give the illusion of things being further apart than they really are. Another idea is to use Whirlpools as warp tiles that spit the player out at different parts of the ocean. Other ideas would be to add the chance of finding berries like how you can find items/pokemon when smashing rocks from using Cut on Trees. Berries are just hard to come by in the fire red game an being able to farm them from cut trees would make the cut hm more useful to have on the team. |
Quote:
I love the befry idea. Although there are a few spots with regenerating berriez, the cut trees will be fun too :) |
Very cool hack!
I think you should include weather effects in the overworld (which is very easy with Advancemap). When will this be done? |
