Pokemon: The Eternity Emerald

Spoiler:
This is my first romhack, and I intend to finish it, unlike some people who start games that die off after about a week. This is a hack of Pokemon Emerald.

Spoiler:
As the sun rises, so do new threats. Three criminal groups with insane goals are forming. A young Pokemon trainer is caught in the middle of their schemes. This trainer has grand dreams of becoming a pokemon master. This trainer will face challenges both ancient and modern on their travels, from the molten core of an active volcano to the burnt-out despair of a decrepit laboratory. All of which is tied into a sacred relic known as the Eternity Emerald, which supposedly controls the flow of existence. Will the trainer succeed in their goals or will their ambitions slip from their grasp?

The story is the same as Emerald except that instead of going into the battle frontier after the league, you go to Johto and Kanto and participate in their pokemon leagues. During all this you encounter Team Aqua, Team Magma, and Team Rocket, still bent on their insane goals.

-Kyledove's awesome graphics!(Still working on it, bear with me)
-New ways to capture Pokemon

I would've stopped at one screenshot of the sacrificial altar, but It didn't look right to only use one or the other.

And here's our first glimpse into the glorious region of Johto, but how do the players get there?

When a trainer starts on a cliche journey, something bad always happens to them. Either they get vaporized, shot, hit on the head, or in this case, their feet pixelate.

Hmmm...I never seen this hack before. You got some pretty neat ideas buddy. Nice storyline as well. I can't wait to see what you've done with the outside. Kanto and Johto are gonna be in this huh, is Hoenn too? Good luck with your hack, keep it up.;)

强有力 December 18th, 2006 11:58 AM

This hack looks very good and the storyline and ideas are good aswell. keep it up and maybe you will get HOTY for 2007

Cursed December 18th, 2006 12:08 PM

Thanks to both of you. In response to TreekoLv.100's question, I am also including Hoenn.

El Diabeetus December 18th, 2006 12:22 PM

Awesome cant wait to see the finished version

TreeckoLv.100 December 18th, 2006 12:34 PM

Hoenn too, wow. You're great dude:D So are you gonna make totally new heroes, or just the ones from FR/LG?

Sorry if I'm bugging you with questions, just curious:D

DiamondDust December 18th, 2006 1:38 PM

I'll have an eye out for this, nice screens, nice story, i guess you beat me in storymaking... better start packing my bags and head for mapping express!

Crosell December 18th, 2006 2:15 PM

same here i like the style of your story goodjob i think it will come out superb.
some advise dont let this hack die ;)

~Jack~ December 18th, 2006 2:48 PM

It looks like this hack has a very original storyline. I like your ideas. Well, good luck with this hack.

~Jack~

Cursed December 18th, 2006 3:59 PM

Thanks to all of you. In response to TreeckoLv.100's question, I may make new heroes to play as if I can find the time to do so. Otherwise, I'll just stick with Fr/Lg heroes.

Har D Har December 18th, 2006 6:31 PM

Good job! Nice choice for your first public hack. Hope it goes better than mine:D

Cursed December 18th, 2006 6:43 PM

Wow. Isn't there any negative critique for my game out there?

zel 2.0 December 18th, 2006 6:55 PM

Well, I don't know if it's a negative criticism, just be careful when making so much promises about having all the regions, and all the teams in a single rom, because, unless you are, or become very skilled, you'll find that not an easy task. (I know that's just up to you, just be careful)
Also, why putting everything in Spoiler tags? We are supposed to know a bit of the game before playing it, I think. Is it necessary?

It would be nice to have another Emerald hack worth of playing, I hope it turns out ok. Good luck!

Pokechamp_888 December 18th, 2006 7:10 PM

this hack sounds very cool and i like the story....good luck with it

Cursed December 18th, 2006 7:30 PM

Well, zel, I may be making lots of promises, but I'm not specifying when these promises will be fulfilled. Also, I'm inserting the spoiler tags so that if people want to view a specific item, they can simply click on the spoiler tag as opposed to scrolling through all the information.

Well, remember this hack is in your hands, so whatever you do is up to you (that's fine with me), just as long as you know what you're doing! The screenshots looks good, though why not change the graphics a bit to give your hack its 'uniqueness'. The plot sounds great too! Having all the regions in one hack though...hmm...if well you are able to add all 3 regions, then the hack would be pretty long...remember the old saying that goes something like "it's not about quantity, it's about quality". However, you don't necessarily have to add in all of the regions - just have some parts that you think will be neccessary for the hack.

Well, good luck with your hack Cursed, and hope for all the best. I'll be waiting for your hack and take all the time you need! ;)

Crosell December 19th, 2006 3:42 AM

yeah what goku goku said u can add all the regions but u can make a boat r something for a short trip to stop team rocket or something so u wont need to enter all the city's that will be difficult :D

Cursed December 19th, 2006 4:21 PM

Well, I'm setting up some of the less cared for areas of Johto and Kanto to reassure the players that they exist, such as Cherrygrove and Lavender town, maybe adding something in, 'cause it'd be pointless to force the character to go through a now-useless town. I know that the starting towns seem unnecessary, but they'll serve a purpose that I have yet to determine, possibly cameos or something. I'm pretty determined to continue this hack, regardless of what it takes.

EDIT: Here's the moment that you all have been waiting for: the newest installment in the Eternity Emerald adventures, New Bark Town*unenthusiastic applause* Sorry I couldn't get the signpost to state anything. My computer isn't in a good state.

Goku Goku December 19th, 2006 5:15 PM

Sounds fine! :D Just try not to overdo things, k? ;)

Cursed December 22nd, 2006 1:46 PM

Don't worry. I'm pretty confident that this hack will continue on its planned course, or possibly better.

Argent Crusader December 22nd, 2006 2:05 PM

Is good, it look fine, maybe if you change some tiles it will better.

charimon December 22nd, 2006 2:10 PM

sounds nice ;)
and why don't u just change the graphicshex of the E hero's to the ones of the FR hero's with RSBALL (since they are already in).
If I'm correct you'll get the same result ;).

find your ways in hacking and you'll be fine ^^

anyway good luck :P

Cursed December 22nd, 2006 2:42 PM

Well, Kike-Scott, I'm working on it. I have some issues with my graphic artist, but I'm pretty sure that he'll get it sorted out. Otherwise, I'll be resorting to making my own tiles.

*New: Groth Tyrant, my graphic artist, made some revanps of the tin tower's roof, so I figured I'd show you the result of what they look like when placed together as one screenshot. Please note that the screenshot is fake, and merely a test of the graphics.

*Newer: I took Charimon's advice for the creation of the hero(ine) of Eternity Emerald, and ended up with a pleasant surprise:

However, the heroine's sprite is still at default:

Wow. Two updates in one night. I'd be impressed if they weren't minor updates.

Scales December 24th, 2006 6:44 PM

Looks very nice. I really cant wait for it to come out. Keep it up!

charimon December 25th, 2006 3:17 AM

@cursed much easier and better this way huh :P good luck with your hack ;)
