Thanks.

At this point I'm trying to find someone to do the script where you get your Pokemon. I'm probably gonna use the B/W starters, but anyone have some other suggestions?

If you want a scripter ask me, I'm a good scripter that can do things like that
As long as you don't ask me to make a script like adding the PokeGear or something 0.o
Just PM me, and we will talk

I'm not sure why, but looking at the tiles it looks like your trying to give a Pokémon Seinna feel. Which is okay after a while.
But oh well.

The mapping and scripting looks gooooooooood either way ;D

Your maps look very good, I see that the the game will also have the fifth generation of Pokemon, this makes it interresante, quite apart from that everything has harmony, the only one who could give an improved BatleBackGround this is that this very small and round.

Thanks. I plan on removing almost half the kanto pokemon to be replaced with pokemon from r/s/e/d/p/b/w.

I wan't deliberately trying to make it look like Sienna, but my tiles and mapping style are similar to Harry's. And I consider that a good thing. I love Sienna.

New Idea
My idea (and please do not copy) is to change what H.M. FLY does. It'll slow the game down a bit, but I think it'll ultimately be more fun. My idea was when you use fly, you go up into the sky, and you can fly around the sky, and Pokemon like Pidove and Swablu appear. And it'll say like "You are approaching Soren Town. Would you like to land?" when you get close to your destination. I even plan on (although this will not be easy for the player) you being able to catch Rayquaza up there.

However, I don't plan on implementing this anytime soon, as it's not high on my list of priorities, which are:

Let mw know what you think. :)

That is actually a REALLY cool sounding idea. I'd imagine you'd have to switch what Fly does with Dive. Then make that DIVE accessible on every tile(which I think you can do by changing the behavior byte on Advance Map) And basically just make a HUGE map that pretty much covers every city. But, then set flags that don't allow you to land anywhere you haven't been before. I'm glad you thought this up, 'cause now I really wanna see how this works.

Thanks. I'll explain a bit. I'm no ASM maniac (meaning I'm not good at it, but I wish I was), but the best I can figure it out, there are three parts needed to make it work:

Today's News

Today I resolved to try and have an update every day, and have Beta 1 in 2 weeks. It's more work for me, but you guys are worth it.

I stayed up until 11:00 last night working on Volt, and therefore I've got some stuff to show you guys. It's mostly Ojel City. Check it out:

Your flying idea is a good one.
And idea i actually thought of when I was a kid. :l
Great minds thing alike.
Although it will take alot of work (mainly ASM) to do so.

Uhh...what? So nobody else can use this idea because you said? I had this idea ages ago (but decided against it), does that mean you can't use it?

Why would anyone put a signpost where nobody can read the front of it?

Uhh...probably best you went back to the old backgrounds, this looks really bad. :)

And if you do change the battle backgrounds, change all of them.

Story doesn't say much so I can't really comment on that.
Same about the features.

Looks decent, just fix up all of the above.

Looks promising although it would be better to insert the tileset different from those based

I was giving you some constructive criticism to help you improve your hack, no need to be such a jerk about it HackDeoxys.
If you are going to be rude to people who try to be helpful, your hack has no future.

1. OK, I'm sorry, I overreacted.
2. I'm not HackDeoxys, how many times do I have to tell you?

I'm going to go ahead and have to agree with Fireworks. If you're gonna change the battlegrounds it's a good idea to change all of them, not just the grass. Speaking of the grass battleground I assume you're using that one Rombase from the Rom Hacking Resource thread and that's the reason that only the tall grass has altered battlegrounds. It's a good idea to either learn how to import others or find someone who can insert them well cause to be honest the current battleground is far from impressive. Just imaging what would happen in the case of a double battle. One of the Pokemon would be falling right off the platform.
On the topic of tiles they look good, but they remind me too much of Sienna. Even the mountain palettes bare too much of a resemblance to Harry's. This is just my opinion.
The maps [namely the lab?/place with computers] seem empty. It'd be a good idea to either make them smaller or fill them up some more.

Also one more thing: the Fly idea, as good as it sounds on paper, seems a bit over-ambitious. Especially since the reality of it is that you probably don't even know where to begin implement an idea like that. Heck, a vast majority of hackers here [including myself] wouldn't know where to begin with that. Either way good luck on this.
