Starting a hack: Pokemon War
 
Hey everyone, I was planning on starting a hack called 'Pokemon War'. This hack might be obvious. What I plan on doing for the storyline is a war between regions; most likely Kanto and Johto vs Hoenn and Sinnoh. I'm unsure about one thing yet, and that is basing it from Firered or Emerald. In Firered, you can catch the unused 24 Pokemon (Which I will most likely replace with Sinnoh Pokemon) without the game crashing. In Emerald, there is more useless stuff to replace. But, I am sure for one thing, and that is if it's Emerald based, Brendan/May will be the main protagonist, with Red/Leaf being the antagonist, and flip it around if it's FireRed based. Anyway, just reply if you think it's a good idea and would like to help! Thanks!

It's a decent idea, worth pursuing. FireRed has more free space to implement more features, like expanded Pokemon if you don't want to be limited to the ?? Pokemon slots. But Emerald has more support for a changing gender based rival.
Regardless, good luck!

Crizzle? The actual Crizzle? Wow, never thought someone like you would reply! I watched a LP on Outlaw, but could never find a working IPS Patch. Outlaw was pretty good, only if I could find a working way to download it.

Anyway, you are a pretty awesome at programming, from what I know, and feel you could be a really big help. So, are you actually interested in helping, or just gonna give advice?

Thats a good idea. War between Kanto/Johto & Hoenn/Sinnoh sounds amazing.

JoeysephDJ September 5th, 2016 3:36 AM

Yeah, of course it does, but it can't be done without your help. Can I count on it?

I've got a few other big commitments, so I can give some advice if you need it.

Great! What are you typically good at when it comes to hacking? You know, like scripting and graphic design?

I suck at graphics designing
I can do some scripting, a little bit mapping, implementing ASM Routines, Hex Editing, Repointing etc.

I'm definitely gonna need you for ASM routines, I have almost no idea how to do those. And, I can do repointing, but not that good at it. Everything else I'm OK with doing myself.

sure! please note that i can only implement those routines which are already available, can't make one myself.

um just saying fire red is bae
but either way rom expansion gives you up to double the original space so really don't worry about free space until music hacking

Kabocha❤ September 7th, 2016 3:43 AM

Fire Red is awful and has to die, go with Emerald.

Okay, are you guys gonna actually help? This my first time making a ROM Hack.

72485rahul September 8th, 2016 11:02 PM

I dont think Fire Red is bad. Ofcourse Emerald has the Dynamic Attack Rombase, Berry System, Battle Frontier, Pokemon Contest etc., but Fire red can get these things too. There's no patch for Emerald that have all the Gen 6 Pokemons except Theta Emerald, but it is too buggy atm. Fire Red has got Artificial Red & Fire Red 721+ patches, which includes most of the things we need. But that's just me, because i love Fire Red :D

Kabocha❤ September 9th, 2016 1:32 AM

Fire Red doesn't have a public Contest patch, if I recall correctly and it'll never have Tag Double Battles either. EM also has the entirety of the FRLG OST and 721 Pokemon are too much to bother with for a first hack.
And no, I won't be helping you, I have my own project, I'm just giving my opinion, is that bothering you?

I don't plan on adding any gen 5 or 6 Pokemon until "Pokemon War II", which I will only make if the first one becomes successful enough. Also, I'm planning on replacing most of the battle frontier and contest stuff with Kanto and Johto maps, as you will be challenging gym leaders and Elite Four members from Kanto and Johto (Especially Lt. Surge, who will actually be promoted to Maj. Surge in Pokemon War) because they are gonna be part of their "Militaries". Also, Rahul, do you know how to replace the Zigzagoon battle in the beginning with a trainer battle? I really wanna know that, because I'm gonna make Professor Birch be chased by Red, and you have to choose your starter before battling him. I know it's possible, because it's been done in Snakewood, even though it's based from Ruby instead of Emerald.

It's a Script. It uses the special 0x9F command. Change it & with a trainerbattle & it should work.

Pokemon War II? Shouldn't you concentrate on this hack first? And literally nothing is stopping you from adding contests and such to the maps.

Yes, there is. I need maps to replace with the Johto and Kanto region. I'm thinking about replacing the Safari zone, contest halls, and the Battle Frontier to make those regions.

JoeysephDJ September 10th, 2016 1:08 PM

Oh, yes, and I can look forward to making Pokemon War II if the first one comes out successful. I'm mainly planning on doing Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn vs Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos.

Kabocha❤ September 11th, 2016 1:08 AM

Okay, but you're not going to just copy+paste the maps from Kanto+Johto, so you can add contests where it makes sense.

Well, in that case, I'll need a level designer. *coughcough*you*coughcough*

PiaCRT September 11th, 2016 1:26 PM

Why are you trying to recruit everyone that replies to your thread? You should really be doing it on your own so you learn how to hack first. Kabocha-Chan is just offering suggestions, I doubt she wants to join your...ehm, hack's team.
