Hello,
I am new here, but would like to find a few others to help me create a rom hack based off of some ideas I have. From what I have seen so far, there is always something missing from even the best hacks. I have no background in hacking, so I have no background in any of the tools. Because of this, it would be great to work with some people who do, as I learn... of course. If you aren't skilled at this, it would still be great to bounce some ideas off of each other.
Let me know :)
Here are the current ideas that I have. I know that several of them are very complicated, but please let me know if you could help:
Here are some ideas that I have regarding the hack. They are just from general things that I have wanted to do, so you can take them or leave them.
I would like the hack to be expansive: as in, including multiple regions, if not all of them. This would give the opportunity to create multiple storylines (including post game), and would also enable gym alternatives...such that some gyms (or regions) could be similar to the orange islands and be about challenges...e.g. a water "gym" could be about racing your water pokemon.
I think it would be important to have the pokemon follow you around... especially because it is a very popular. I'm not sure if this would be possible to create sprites of the 6th generation, but it would be cool. (Syvelon, for example, might challenging).
The introduction of minigames would be an excellent addition, though, I'm not sure how possible. For example, I like the idea of a "Combee Farm" where you could play some type of honey mini game.. matching combee or something like that. I have seen minor things like this in previous games, but it has never been a focus.
I also think offering "event" pokemon would be an interesting idea. For example, on "Combee farm", once you helped defeat whomever, or whatever the miniadventure called for, you could be rewarded with a special "event" vespiquen with certain moves or maybe a helper heracross with certain moves. It could also be an opportunity to give the player mega evolution stones.. such that this is where a player might get the stone to megaevolve heracross.
Speaking of megaevolution, I would really like to make this possible. I'm not sure how exactly pokemon can be modified, but I have seen that trade evolved can be edited to evolve in other ways. The megastones could either directly evolve them, (permanently), or we could somehow create a less permanent state by modifying dittos ability...but I have no idea how someone would manage that. We could also modify it it to where at a certain happiness level, a pokemon could learn a move to change it form or permanently change it.
As for starters, I would really like to issue an eevee as the only choice. Not only is it the most versatile choice, but it provides a lot more options. I can see the downfall of only one stage of evolution, but I feel as though this could be corrected with additional moves/stats. Plus eevee's evolution history could spark an interest with evolution in general in the plot, assisting the introduction of megaevolution.
As with having a pokemon follow you around, I would like to create more interactive sprites in the general landscaping. Whenever this was done in previous games...such as the miltanks and pidgeys, I was always impressed..as it added a lot to the games. I have ideas such as "combee farm" "gyarados falls" "the lunatone planaterium" "wigglytuff karoke bar" -which could be a mini game, as well, such as the dance contest minigames. "Crobat cave"...etc.
Speaking of Wigglytuff, it would be a good addition to change the pokemon center, to update it, but this is not a must. I would also like to update the moveset and stats of several favorites than just cant compare. For example, Wigglytuff is a favorite, but can't compete in battle.
The Villain should remain as team rocket, throughout every region, just as they always followed ash in the series. I would like for them to be more of a threat, and less predictable. This means more team rocket members, heavier in the plot, and of course feature jessie and james with their teams changing per region.
I think gyms should be a heavy focus, as well. I would like to reinvent some gyms, and or change them. I appreciated the work of the gyms in black and white, and would like to do something similiar. With new and more advanced tiling, we could do great things for celadon and cerulean gyms, for example.
It would also be an interesting feature to have traveling companions. They wouldn't have to be with you all of the time, and could have separate missions. but they could act as plot enhancers, bring you pokemon eggs, items, assist you in double or triple battles, turn out to be gym leaders, or heal you on journeys through bug forests or undersea caverns.
As for general plot, I believe that it would be cool to have megaevolution be the focus.. as we revisit team rocket's quest for mewtwo...especially now that they have the technology to megaevolve him.
As for gym leaders... we could keep gyms and replace gym leaders, or vice versa. For example.. Misty could be a gym leader of another water gym, or there could be a new leader at cerulean gym.
I would also like to do a battle tower style pokemon league, instead of just battling the elite four. In this case, you could even lose early, and be ranked and try again. As the victor, you would then qualify to battle the elite four. Again, we could combine favourites, create new ones, and even have a different league per region.
I know that it's a lot, but if you like any of these ideas, let me know :).
