Story-wise, the number 6 more or less represents "evil" ("number of the beast" and other freakingly cliché things :P ) and also kinda looks like my title legendary (being a foetus with an umbilical cord). Finally, I was also thinking of dividing my story in 6 acts, much like a play.



Even though I'm a Whovian, No. The inspiration, at least estheticly speaking, comes actually more from the midnight channel in Persona 4. However, just like all the fictionnal metaphysical rifts, it will indeed bring the player and those falling inside somewhere else. where? you will seeeee...

(Not a fan of the beginnings of Matt Smith and consequently of the time-and-space crack storyline.)



I thought the same, but when you actually are on the emulator, it really adds depth to the small part of the world you see on your screen. Just a very personal opinion though ^^



The artsy feeling is absolutely the theme of this city, glad to like it. Originally, it was supposed to be centered on Drama only, but grew into that, much to my satisfaction!



Don't expect to save the world though, you might be disappointed...



Thanks a lot, but it's actually a shame I can't show my favorite ones, because they are important story-wise and I still want to build mystery :P



Would be a pleasure consedering I'm one of your suscribers!

PS: is your Showdown name "sacredfirenegr0¨, because if it is, I think I add a NU match with you some time ago? ^^

oh **** a SUB MADE THIS?! O__O NOT BAD, anmd yes its the 0 instead of o LOL nice and NU

I will do it in french AND in english, absolutely (will need a corrector though)!

I would just recommend you not to get lost with the amount of tiles you are inserting, because even if they are beautiful they may cause some visual pollution in some spots and that may affect the gameplay. Also, your maps are kinda big, you should put some signs in them http://www.pokecommunity.com/images/templates/smilies/cerulean/10.%20giggle.gif
Keep going! I love how you are giving life to the characters and the Never!Black&White references (maybe I'm seeing things)

1) I can understand this legitimate complain, but I have issues going against my very nature, loving every single hole filled (sounds wrong somehow...). I tried to keep the "travel areas" such as routes more clear on the other hand to keep the discovery pleasant and not tedious. ;)

2) I see one reference to Never black (the female main character) , but nothing else... hum... Can you enlighten me?

Great job, MacBeth! You French folk are so artsy. Right away from reading your introduction, I can see this is gonna be a great hack. Perhaps, for me, the Introduction grabbed my attention and was the most interesting part of your hack. Not so say your screenshots aren't amazing (which they are!), but I'm most impressed by the features you plan to implement, and your overall take on the game's mechanics. I love how you are focused on immersing the player into the story and the difficulty. And dark humour is always a nice touch! :-)

Your sprites, the trainers and Fakemon, are all very well done. The logo is especially also awesome. And the tiles and colours are also very well done. This is a great-looking game.

Lastly, I think I can nitpick the nuances of your hack because it looks like you take it very seriously. My only critique is in the mapping style--it looks to me very chaotic and cluttered. There's SO MUCH going on in every inch of the map that it seems overwhelming, and it also seems like it would hinder the player's exploration. I understand your desire to fill empty spaces and diversify the tiles, but with the small size of GBA maps, less can be more. To add to that, it seems like you didn't utilise the sheer size of your maps (i.e., a lot of your maps are outlined by tons of trees/mountains), so you could have stretched out your buildings so they weren't so tightly compressed to eachother, or to other tiles. For example, a lot of doors have only 1 tile space in front of them; to me, that looks sort of claustrophobic.

With that said, I don't even think that's a big deal. You could say your maps reflect the hectic atmosphere of the game itself, because as you say, you expect "the player to never feel safe in this world." I guess my suggestion is simplify at least A LITTLE BIT. Otherwise...again, great job!!

Good analysis! but as I said up there, I liked the things being compressed against each other, even though I force myself to set a large road in front of every building as often as possible ;)

PS: Thx to everybody for the support!

BlackStorm20x December 19th, 2014 12:28 PM

Bruh...This hack looks awesome! Do not abandon it! It will be great it if you keep working on it. :)

chaos_envoys December 19th, 2014 4:59 PM

I just love the fakemons!!!! Great ones!!!! Anyways, hows the progress of the hack? Like percent completed before betas or anything :)

Logical Cabbage December 19th, 2014 5:44 PM

I'm not usually into fakemon hacks, but I love what this game has to offer :) Can't wait to see it :)

The Undisputed Era December 19th, 2014 6:07 PM

The sprites for this hack are really nice, usually peoples custom sprites can look a bit tasteless especially in the pick your gender and Rival screens but yours looks like they actually fit in a pokemon game which is good to see.

My opinion of Fakemon is that they're all bad, there are 720 pokemon to choose from yet people decide to add their own and usually they look incredibly bad and or don't even resemble anything that could be called a Pokemon and a lot of yours look like they'd be better in another fantasy game and not a pokemon one, that being said they're very nicely designed.

My massive peeve with this hack is your maps, THEY'RE SO DAMN CRAMPED, it's like "Where am I supposed to look!?", there is just way too much going on and that is from looking at the whole map I imagine that once it goes into a single screen on a GBA it will look even more cramped, I understand certain towns/cities being cramped looking but for your beachy and resort maps they just have way too much stuff on them, if you toned it back a bit they would look so much nicer.

The storyline looks to be decent I'd like to see/read more of it maybe when you release an alpha or beta we can get a bit more info on the storyline and I have to say the idea of the "big bad organisation" being a cult is awesome and I hope that their pokemon will reflect who they are and what they stand for.

Good luck on your progress of this hack!

shadic249 December 19th, 2014 8:22 PM

If you need any beta testers I'd be happy to help with that! This hack looks amazing!

or19937 December 19th, 2014 9:32 PM

This... Looks... AMAZING!

I can't wait :D

Maps are so colorfull and I really loved the spriting.

MasterBallz December 20th, 2014 12:23 AM

Much praise to be had over this hack its a work of art.

AmazingCharizard December 20th, 2014 8:58 AM

This looks very well done. Characters, the villainous team, the maps, you know what you're doing :) Keep it up!

narutodkurosaki December 20th, 2014 9:27 AM

OK.....I just saw this post and you have got me HOOKED and the map looks SO DAMN GOOD and the fakemons are not bad either as for your decision of a single mega evolution I can accept that because a whole team of mega evolved pokemon would be an overkill and killjoy.
So thumbs up to you man.
It would be great if you have a demo before you release the first beta.

OPSdoesLPs December 20th, 2014 11:06 AM

Lookin back at this post, and Im actually REALLY excited for this game.

Dingodile December 20th, 2014 12:09 PM

This hack is extremely beautiful. Will cry tears of joy when I get to play it!

MrMacBeth December 20th, 2014 6:10 PM

To answer every question:

1) I will probably do a demo, don't know when though considering that as a lunatic person I can decide to wipe an entire area I don't like it anymore out and it can be as time consuming as unexpected, so I won't give you a deadline for now.

2) I don't think I will have a need for beta testers, sorry. ^^ (not yet at least)

3) Ok, I heard some of you! My maps are cramped, I will try to somewhat restrain myself (just added a new map which btw is less "baroque"... To compensate, I made it more huge as f*ck though :P)

4) I will be away for a week without access to the internet, so dont expect any update until then.

Nevertheless, as I am generous, here is a new map:



For a better look, I recommend you to check it out on my Deviantart page though, where it can reduced.


Finally, once again thanks for the support (me saying that start becoming redundant ^^) and merry christmas!

Can you give a link to your page I cant find it. Please. Also the hack is looking amazing. I like the tiles and your mapping.

What can you do?

Dedenne1: 1)Thanks a lot for the kind words!
2) Most of your question are answered in my post, but np, i will precise ;)
a) there will be fakemons and pokemons FROM ALL 6 generations, but only selected ones, considering that I don't know how to increase the max number but if someone has a good tutorial about going beyond 386 pokes (+25), I'm interested!

b) Yes, there is mega evolutions (official and invented), but they are treated as regular evolutions, which means there will be only one evolutionnary stone of this kind in the game, to keep the limit from 6th gen of 1 mega per party.

c) Yes, Fairy type is here as well as another custom type, with VERY limited distribution.

d) No nuzlocke mode, because I don't know if it's possible on GBA, but if it is I WANT A TUTORIAL, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE!

e) I will add that to the feature paragraph ;)

f) thanks for adding my hack to your list of support. means a lot to me!

Itari: As I said, the esthetics part is what i like most about hacking, so it's always a pleasure to read that ;)
As far as scripting goes, I will have to learn it more extensively, but I'm rather confident so far... so far...

G0ld: a) a pentagram for bad guys, seems legit!
b) I actually wanted to change the tiles for the Pkmn center and the shop, but my tilesets were already filled to the brim, so, I guess it will have to remain this way, sorry!
c) With a ghost type being the main legendary of my game, it felt appropriate. Moreover, I like when the menus, etc... are coherent color-wise. makes me think of Persona ^^

Actually, here is an artwork i just finished of the foresaid legendary. It's not great, but I will work on it ;)

"Korean-named person": I actually did a lot of planning!It had been a long time I wanted to do my own hack, so I had time to think about it and HERE IT IS!

Joltjolteon: Thanks (sorry not to be more original here ~_~)!

Also love your pokemon saiken hack btw.

I did look into this and depending upon what your base rom is u can have the player take the national pokedex at the beginning instead of just giving them the regional and that can increase the amount of available pokes plus i looked online and theyre are several hacks that have over that number idk how but you can ask spherical ice or Christos they most likely will have an idea :)

ThatBritishYoshi March 11th, 2015 10:07 AM

Can't wait for this hack! It's Generalsheep1 from deviantART, by the way.

Christos March 11th, 2015 10:18 AM

Don't post in threads that haven't been posted in for over a month, please. MrMacBeth, if you ever want this thread re-opened just send me or Spherical Ice a message.

:t363: closed

Christos March 11th, 2015 4:52 PM

Okay that was fast. Good luck on this, MrMacBeth!

MrMacBeth March 11th, 2015 4:58 PM

It's not because I can't post because of personal reasons, that I'm not lurking around ^^

For those still interested, I'm going to send a Big update and Apologies for my absence this WE

See you then ;)

BlackStorm20x March 11th, 2015 5:37 PM

Nice to know you're still working on the hack! :D

qaz015393 March 11th, 2015 6:37 PM

Nice man. Glad to see this hack back. Good luck with it & everything else man.
