STORY SPOILER!


Spoiler:
Chapter 4:

So the previous chapter, chapter 3, ends with celebi teleporting you, and you end up teleported in a ship, now this ship seems familiar... thats because its St.Anne, a ship Ash (you) once travelled in along side misty and brock! But why was Celebi showing you this? Well, it turns out Mewtwo has recruited another pokemon that can change time... and you must stop him at all costs.

Chapter 4.5: DAMMIT MAGIKARP

Well, one of the guys in the ship offers you a shiny magikarp, if you accept it, the staircase leading to the deck would be unlocked which was initially blocked by a fat guy. Once you go to the deck, a Gyarados attacks you, and not just any Gyarados... a giant shiny shadow Gyarados ( so cheesy XD )! Well, you are designed to fail this, since the Gyarados would be level 80 and my pokemon around this time were level 20-25. Once you fail, Gyarados destroys the ship, takes back the magikarp, and you are basically stranded. So you start travelling on your raft until you come across another familiar place... an island...

Chapter 5: HAVE NO CLUE YET LOL
But something revolving around The island of giant pokemon if anyone remembers what that was.

OMG that gyarados! *dies* I love it!

Satoshi Ookami November 20th, 2013 4:21 AM

I will capture that Gyarados! No matter what!
Shadow Gyarados, you are soooo mine!! :D

If you do capture it you basically crash the game at that point XD cause you are supposed to be defeated, but donèt worry, you will face it later on when your pokemon are higher level

Shadow pokemon will they have some base stats change?

Of course, the stats will vary with pokemon and also, they will hopefully have new moves ( inserted only 3 new moves so far) with new animations.

Kakarot1212 November 20th, 2013 12:18 PM

Yay! Great hack! The shadow pokemon thing idea got me into this hack :S
That idea is just great,you know. It is good as the mega evos. {:3}
By the way, if you need a beta tester, im good at it, so you can contact me if you want ^^

Well if you want to make the textboxes transparent then check out this tutorial: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=312702

And even if you don't know ASM ep!c gives you the compiled version to do it in a hex editor.

Ah but heres the thing, I have so far planned an "EVENT" for each shadow pokemon and legendary, which currently stands at 45 so even if I spoil 10, you will still have no idea of the other 35 :) but that being said, i'll try to keep the update spoilers to the less exciting things.

Depends on the script... if you don't explicitly script the defeat part, script will continue even if I were to capture it =D

DiamondBlueMoon November 21st, 2013 6:05 AM

I'm in love with this hack at first sight. But i think some shadow pokemon (specifically raikou, flareon and mew) are a little dark, and they need recolorizing. On the other hand, you should add shadow mega blaziken, tyranitar and garchomp, they are badass!
Well, good luck to you mate, looking forward to the big coming

True, but you would have to cheat for that, cause unless you grind all the way to level 80 in one route or get a masterball, it should be hard to catch at that point in the game :)

Yea, some of the sprites will be re-worked later. Shadow Tyranitar and Garchomp are planned.

tanjim13 November 21st, 2013 2:17 PM

So I was playing League of Legends and got ideas for new moves (hahaha ) =

Shadow Slash= Deals 80 damage always, has 80 accuracy

Death Mark = Marks target which later detonates after 4 turns and kills them instantly if the pokemon who used it hasnt fainted already

Void Field- Is basically Protect, 100 accuracy and 2 pp

Few reloads and it's mine =D
The whole point was to persuade you to make him uncatch-able through the routine that is used for Ghost Marowak =)

Actually, with his current transparent box was fine.
It doesn't need to edit the palette on hex editor but on classic NSE.
ep!c has he's website on his signature, be sure to check it and you'll find that tut.
Via editing text box's palette.

I saw his website, quite resourceful, but a bit too complex for me :)

Awesome Hack
I like All Shadow Pokemon
Good Luck With the hack
Also, try adding some classic like the Legendary Bird Trio : Zaptos, Moltres & My personal Favorite Articuno

(Taken exactly from the screenshots with no editing. By me that is.)

Have you figured out a way to make sprites over 64x64 appear with no problems?

interdpth November 27th, 2013 8:15 AM

How are you pulling the Gyrados off? I like the swim effect, did you replace it looks like 6 sprites for when it's out water, and probably had to replace one more to get the swimming effect. What's your script for that like? It's impressive. But I am concerned on how many sprites you took out for that purpose. Or am I wrong and you repointed the tables to add on? Please show that script!

Ace_Master_of_Turtles November 27th, 2013 1:25 PM

I know this hack is fake i can give you 50 reasons why

1. All th shadow pokemon are too big.
2. As others have said Shadow lugias sprite in battle is too big
3. Lugias name is darker than pikachus and lugia is a male
I could go on and on

1. All the shadow pokemon are In one image so they may have been streched

2.
as you can see this is the origanal shadow lugia and it is 64x63

3. the hack is early in devopment and all pokemon have to be replacements. I don't know why Lugia's name is darker though.

4. if you troll then do it right you shouldn't troll.

5. a lesson in grammar and punctuation wouldn't hurt

now lets see those 47 other reasons why this is fake

DoesntKnowHowToPlay November 27th, 2013 2:30 PM

http://i.imgur.com/TBXgzmF.png

extracted from the OP's pic. this is 240x160- exactly the size of the GBA's screen. it could not possibly have been stretched as the OP claims.

http://i.imgur.com/w0INl40.png

this is the image cropped to just the scizor sprite. it is 85x69. feel free to check it out in the image editor of your choice if you don't believe me.

it's also worth nothing that the broken font scizor's name uses isn't applied to pikachu- while this is actually possible through trickery with the jp chars, i seriously doubt the op has the know-how to pull it off, and i doubt that anyone who knew how would make something that ugly and broken (seriously zoom in on it and look up close, there's unfitting white pixels everywhere).

but, since you brought lugia up:

http://i.imgur.com/CvLq1yV.png

here's the original picture from the OP. it is 242x158. the horizontal stretching is simply due to two columns of filler on the sides- this is compressed, not stretched, and yet the lugia is still oversized. it's also worth noting that lugia, who is already in the game, has a gender in this shot- while it could be replacing a mon it would probably be replacing a limbo slot if it was a new mon, and those are genderless by default.

i also invite users to zoom in on this shot and look below pikachu's hand- this could be innocent corruption i guess but it certainly doesn't look legit to me. it's in both the lugia and scizor shot. while we're pointing out weird stuff, why do both pikachus have 120 HP despite supposedly being 20 levels apart? and why does the male pikachu in the scizor sprite have a giant space between its name and the gender icon that the female does not have?

http://i.imgur.com/Dqri6oU.png

for the curious, that space shouldn't be there at all!

finally:

http://i.imgur.com/MuvFiXY.png

a close look at lugia's nametag reveals more stray white pixels, indicating that it has probably been doctored badly. of note is the one below the letter G, which goes lower than the vanilla font ever does. it also uses a different color than the vanilla font (which isn't completely black like this one).

i'm almost impressed at how people are defending this as valid, when honestly it doesn't even look that good to me- the sprites are absurdly pixelated, the "custom" fonts are difficult to read, and the "plot" looks like standard grimderp fare. doesn't help that there's not even any *game* here to see yet (wow 2% progress that's totally worth making a thread!)

chaos_envoys November 27th, 2013 5:42 PM

@doesnt people is too interested in shadow pokemon and overlook things.. I didn't pay attention to any of this, but your post enlighten me.. Thanks for pointing it out :)

Not to mention that the hero's trainer sprite is 86 pixels tall:

And if you look closely at the scizor vs. pikachu screenshot you can see the shading on the "25" part is all wrong too:
http://i.imgur.com/TBXgzmF.png
I guess it's an interesting idea but once you look closer you can how obviously fake it is. There are a few other things but I don't think I need to point them out, there's already enough proof and just looking through the screenshots you can see a lot of things that look a bit off.

DarkRisingGirl November 28th, 2013 12:01 AM

Everything Doesntknowhowtoplay & Chrunch said is absolutely true looking at the screenshots better.

My question is, were these screenshots apart of the OP's first post? If so, the mods should've never approved of this hack to begin with.

Another thing to note is this person has two hack threads in the Progression Section. Does this mean his other hack, Elemental Entities, is fake too?

Lol guys, if he wants to destroy his own fun by making such fakes, then let him do so.
Ah by the way, thread maker, I get proper credits for my routines ;)

Edit: Lmao. He claimed that he inserted new tiles, but actually he just took some out of my tilebase on my website, even with the test-map I provided there xD

karatekid552 November 28th, 2013 4:03 AM

I'm just going to step in before this gets out of hand and we have an all out war of words again. The staff is aware that there are reported issues surrounding this hack and we are attempting to handle it diplomatically. For the time being, there will be no more posts on this subject and any new ones will be removed. Please understand that it is only for the best that we stop before this escalates.

By the way, the report button actually gets to us faster than posting in a thread, so if you feel that there is ever an issue, reporting it is the fastest way to go. Please remember that in the future.

Thanks for your cooperation,
