FireRed hack: Pokemon: Pink Jelly

MysticFlames said:

Thanks, everyone, for the support~

Both of us have several little projects going on at once and thus haven't done too much editing of the hack, but I really wanted to just say thanks. Ha. I actually have no idea what we're doing with the waterfalls. I believe we will end up leaving them as is. I guess it does look more awkward as a screenshot than in motion. I don't know.

To make this post not as useless:
Here's the intro ("Are you a boy or girl?") sprite for the male hero. (He's intentionally taller than the FR hero)

And... here's another random screenshot?

We actually had other plans for this old woman, but those plans were deemed inappropriate for a G rating. Unfortunately. XD I'll just leave it at that.

The hero sprite looks cool, I like the whole older than = taller than thing you did. The title Pink Jelly made me laugh, and starting with Ditto is probably what Game Freak should do, seeing as starting with starters or a legendary is kinda overused... I have a suggestion about the waterfalls, but I'll probably just send you a PM with a screenie of my idea... As for the old lady, I don't know/don't wanna know what the "needle" is... Loving the fakemon, but Hulkpuff looks kinda, off... Anyways, good luck with the hack, and I hope Pink Jelly (lol) gets finished!

This looks like an interesting hack. I like the comedy idea while still being a real pokemon game at hear. eagerly awaiting a release.

It looks like a weird and funny hack. The title is original and giving Ditto a chance to shine is also interesting. The idea of the Professor hating the player could be used to add some humorous moments to the hack. The only thing I wonder is about Jigglyhulk's role but I think it's one of the think's that it's revealed after the patch is released.

In other words: I am waiting to try this hack.

(Hmm. I would reply by PM as well, but then I got stuff to post as well... XD)

@Darkest Shade Of Light: Thanks for the suggestion, it seemed to spark some inspiration in the co-creator. XD There was a bunch of tweaking and somehow ended up like this:

The idea is that the waterfall is cutting through the mountain. What do you (and anyone else who would like to give an opinion) think?

This might work of you were to change the middle layer of rock shown, make it go straight across, and then add a tip with a river on top of that, I may send an example later if I get some time

Alternatively, you could alter the middle layer of rock to bend one tile to the right of where it does, so that the lower layer can come up to the same line. That's the important part with waterfalls - all the wall layers behind them have to be aligned properly.

Since I'm explaining this badly, I'll include an image of what I mean, using your map.

Forgot to tell you that i llike the new male hero sprite.

Ya, what his spoiler said...
And would this work for a Userbar?

What if my jelly is blue, does mean somethings wrong? :D (What you need sprited, I might be able to help.)

Would you mind if I offered you a second support bar? I wanted to be first, but it appears I was beaten to it by someone with a better one. Ah well, it's here anyway if you want it, featuring a very defiant Ditto.

Yeah, blue's my fav colour and all but does that mean the title has to be hacked? :P

Fair enough, good luck. :)

I'm in love with this ;__;

FIRST REPLY OF 2011 xD

Anyways, are there any updates on this? I'm hoping to see good progress on this, because it looks interesting

Okay I'm going to say that at first look I thought this game was going to be really stupid. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but it had a pink background a weird name and started with a so-so joke. Then I decided to keep looking and now I actually want to play it and am waiting for the beta

Sorry, sorry. We haven't abandoned the hack or anything, we've just been busy with the holidays and whatnot. And my partner in crime had to deal with upgrading his computer.

Well, for some things to note:

• Maybe we'll actually start on the first gym soonish? XD
• New sprites are being worked on (our plan is to pick and choose sprites across all generations and revamp/devamp or even scratch new sprites; It sounds like more work, but different sprites will be refreshing to look at, right?)
• I've kinda sorta started on the new tiles
• Look, the heroine!

She was posted in my sprite thread, but I'll repost it for those who haven't seen it.

As for a question, would you guys like to see stats and whatnot of the Fakemon? Should I make a little "Pokedex" of sorts in the first post?

Ooh, an update. I like updates.

This appears to be going well, from what I see here. I like the sprites; when I see them, I turn towards the somewhat less good sprites of my own hack and thank God that I make up for them with crazed storyline and continuous references.

As for the stats and 'whatnot' (what a lovely turn of phrase), then I think I would like to see at least a couple of them, as a hint of greater things to come. A little Pokédex would be a rather wonderful idea.

Gah. Ramble over; there's work (of sorts) to be done.

Hulkapuff ?
xD
You should use that name :D

Anyway hack looks good
mapping could improve
and tiles i guess?

Ooh, I like this hack! It looks promising, and although there's not much to see in terms of Fakemon, plot, or dialogues yet, I have high hopes for your success!

The real reason for my posting, though, is this:

I saw your trainer sprite and thought I'd edit it for practice. I'm not the best spriter, and my human anatomy isn't perfect, so my word is far from absolute but there you go.

To the left is your original, the middle is my edits with the original palette in case the sprite is indexed and you can't change it, and to the right is my edits with palette fixes, because saturation, contrast and hueshifting are your friends and you should never use full gray for anything. Also I wasn't really digging that green.

Hope this helps! Feel free to use it however you like! Oh, here's a tip: when you sprite, do it on a nonwhite background. Helps a ton with the outline!

I'd love to see sprites and stats for the fakemon! If you want any more crit, just ask!
