Hey everyone, I am here once again with a new gba romhack project!
This time around I am making a sequel to my first romhack (and Part 1 of my series), Pokémon Saiph!
This is Part 3 of my romhack series, The VytroVerse! (Hack made from: "1636 - Pokemon Fire Red (U)(Squirrels)")
Parts:
Spoiler:
Part 1: Pokémon Saiph
Part 2: Pokémon Sors
Part 3: Pokémon Saiph 2
Further parts will be added in the future!
Story (Spoilers)
Spoiler:
The game takes place 3 years after the events of Pokémon Saiph and a few weeks after Pokémon Sors, however it's not too connected to the latter.
Micah along with Darlo, are returning from a formal event which Micah was invited to as Colen's Champion and the Co Leader of the world's first ITP Group. (International Threat Prevention)
On the flight back, they get into an mysterious accident which results with the plane crashing. Micah and Darlo evacuates everyone, however they themselves ended up being stranded in the faraway Regris Region! Micah is being treated by a Regrissian (The word used for someone from Regris just to be clear) girl and starts his mission to find Darlo, find a way to connect with Lori in Colen and a way to return home... However as always things aren't as simple as that. Little does Micah know, that he is about to be involved in something even he hasn't seen 3 years ago... (or Asher a few weeks ago for that matter)
The game follows the story of Micah Kusei, and uses a singular protagonist. Once again, this is a artistic (wiritng? idk) choice to have a much more coherent story! Story segment will be expanded later!
Features (Will get expanded later!!)
A new region to explore, Regris!
A Custom soundtrack (tracks from various, media remixed with a B2&W2 Soundfont, not my own compositions, “official soundtrack” in yt vids just means audio you can actually hear ingame)
The Complete Fire Red Upgrade as the game engine... finally! (Items, moves, abilities, Pokémon, pss split etc. Updated to the latest standards)
Proper Battle AI
Multiple modes to play the game in! (Randomizer, Lvl scaling, exp all etc. These modes can be combined as you please!)
For the dedicated players: Hero Mode!
Once again a full PokéDex now including gen 8 too!
DexNav (Not in the Tech Demo)
Side Quests (Only 1 in the Tech Demo)
Soaring
Ancient Regression (It works like Mega Evolution)
Day/Night System and possible D&N events (the emulator needs to support RTC)
Hero Mode
Spoiler:
Hero Mode is essentially the game's "Hard Mode" with various changes applied to your gameplay!
(It's also randomizeable)
Trainers Scale based on your highest levelled Pokémon
Forced Set Mode
Harder Boss Battles
Saving tied to Pokémon Ranger like save spots (no start menu saving)
Pokémon Saiph 2 Tech Demo Christmas Edition (2021) Released: 2021. November 14th & December 25th Length: A short 1-2 hour long tech demo to showcase what the new game is capable of, and what to expect in terms of quality! Notes: Patching is required, please read the .txt file included with the download. The download link has been updated to fix the oversight of no pokeballs usable in Hero Mode!
The Christmas Edition of the demo gives the maps a more winterish vibe, has a few small fixes, new mugshot designs and a bit of Qendro City to check out!
So, VytroVerse is expanding, eh? Wishing you best of luck with the project, mate!!
By the way, I would also love to know about the starters.

Out of curiosity, are there going to be any distinguishing elements/aspects in this game to help make some of the Pokemon stand out? Some examples of what that could be include fan-made Pokemon, or fanmade Evoltions or Mega Evolutions, or even overhauled movepools that include Egg Moves in the Level-up and/or Base Stat rebalances.
I see that this will be an "all the Pokemon in one Region" fangame, but I have found that those tend to be weaker in many ways (including due to things like Region overcrowding) to fangames with more curated Pokedexs that can then spend time adding nuance to the roster that's included.

New species expanding already existing ones isn’t planned.
As to the full Dex, I might not make the region force in all 890+ species in a single National Dex, as I might have a regional dex with less and make the rest available outside of the dex like in S&M (if I do this I will hand out a Nat Dex in the postgame but yeah you get the idea)

Something I would suggest, you could incorporate difficulty levels instead of just one single set one to offer player choice.

Do you have plans to add an Ev-Iv Display Screen?

Maybe, the IVs are kinda displayed but I might make it more streamlined

A Full Pokedex with Generation 1 through 8 you say?! Oh boy! Will it include the Pokémon from both the Isle of Armor, and the Crown Tundra from Sword & Shield too? Do you also mean by all the Generation 8 Pokémon
Including the starters too? i would be happy to play your game if it has it all!

considering RadRed has all the mons and both Saiph 2 and RadRed uses cfru, I think its a yes.

Not overcrowding a single region would definitely be a good thing to do.

I hope this game has a longer post game, considering Sors is really short.

Sors’ was already pretty packed if one decides to 100% the game but we will see
