  • POKéMON MARBLE - The long life
    By BARO - author of POKéMON QUARTZ

    A hack of POKéMON FIRE RED

    20 years after the adventures of Ran and J.Akira, a new quest begins in the region of GARNA in the country of Lowheaven. An innocent trainer will get involved in an obscure plot of gangsters, mafias and a great secret. However, the real enemy that everybody tries to fight is the Death... but is that a right thing to do?

    Professor Baro will help you in your career as a trainer. Fight new trainers, new Pokémon, the GLASS ARMY and The Phantom, a mysterious character with a dark secret. Travel around the other regions in the country using the EGG TRAIN, catch the four guardians and a whole new collection of legendary. Be part of the legends of this magical country. Travel through the forests, the molehills, the seas, the caves, deserts, towns, (big) cities while meeting new trainers.


    Pokémon Marble features some of the pokemon already in Pokémon Quartz, but most of them will be new for you. There are also some brand new Pokémon. All the new graphics are slighty more professional, as well as the text and other stuff.

    Now for a mosaic of random and repeating pics, they tell a lot more than a whole lot of random and repeating text:

    GO TO POKéMON MARBLE VIDEO PLAYLIST


    · BETA 2.1 AVAILABLE! ------- *************************
    Download here, in WAH (it's the one in the bottom of the page)/B]

    KNOWN ISSUES (apart for the things not done yet, see the readme for more info):

    · At MOLEHILLS, after exiting the mole galleries, you see the map border in the right. That's because there's no route connecting YET.

    ·Some events may be played again if you continue your game from beta 1. That's because I changed some flags.

    Please submit glitches if you find them. That's what betas are for.

  • Well, I played it and it was even better than I thought. I have a question: are you going to keep half of the houses around closed? It looks like... lazy-ish.
    Ah! I found an important glitch: the second battle with the rival, in the exit of the forest, your rival simply doesn't appear:

    The first time, I thought he was calling me by phone... The battle goes on correctly, nevertheless.

    (Oh, and this guy in the shop finishes his sentence with a comma instead of a dot... minor stupid thing)

  • Whoooooo! 4th post.(LOL).
    Nice Screen shots, I like the Title Screen a lot. Wonder how you did it??

    Anyway those Pokémon I've seen somewhere before, I have a Beta of that in Ruby. I looked at them through pokepic, but it is really old.

    Good luck!

    Making every house around open would need to make 1000 useless maps. I'm adding some where needed, but it would be stupid. Actually I just add more houses, though closed, because it's stupid to see "cerulean city" and see 5 houses. WTF, FIVE HOUSES DO NOT MAKE A CITY!


    Hmmm? I though that worked. I'll check what happens there.

    Ooops

    In my old hack, pokémon quartz. (I hope, otherwise it'd mean that somebody stole them)

  • Ok, big problem: the script of the phantom guy has a problem and isn't correctly finished, so the music start playing lower and nothing happens. Freezing. I had to use the walk through walls code to avoid him.

    And I found this in the other side:

    (Here was supposed to be a comment about how much I like the game, but, since Ozu is also around here...)

    NOW that's weird, both things were tested (actally if the phantom think hadn't worked I wouldn't have passed that area.
    It's soemthing usual when I post betas, so well, maybe I'll post a fixed update soon. Why the rival not appearing still puzzles me, I think I know why does it happen, but I still need to know a way to know where a sprite is even if I don't see it during the game...

    Wow this is a looks like a really great ROM ;) I love your fakemon :P

    (by the way, just wondering...how come your Quartz download link doesn't work anymore on WAH?)

    Ok sorry if I sound really dumb, but:
    Why is the ROM not a .gba file? or What emulator can I use that will support your rom?

    ^Nevermind, I figured it out^

    It's an ips file, you have to patch it on a rom for that you have to use Lunarips or winips.

    Qouted for stupidity >_>

    You have to patch it onto a GBA file (FIre Red) and then itll work

    Great hack!

    Also, you'll need to have LIPS installed ion your computer,

    so you can patch the IPS File onto a clean FireRed ROM.
