Pokemon Teal
Hack of FireRed
UPDATE: Alpha is available at the bottom of the post
UPDATE2: I have updated the alpha with a few critical bugs fixed
Introduction
This is my first attempt at a hack. I got the idea when reminiscing about playing pokemon red and blue with friends in grade school. Someone found out the missingno trick, and before long we all were battling each other with lv 100 pokemon. I also always thought it was interesting that captured pokemon pretty much unconditionally obey their trainers (with the correct badges of course). With these two thoughts I came up with pokemon teal.
Story
For as long as anyone can remember pokemon and humans have lived in harmony. Pokemon provide humans with strength, speed, protection, transport, and many other abilities. Humans in turn provide the pokemon with love and compassion that only a human could provide. The human and the pokemon develop a bond as the human trains the pokemon from a low level. This takes much time, but an incredible bond develops between the pokemon and its trainer; they are like family.
What if there was a way to obtain high level pokemon without needing to train them? If someone found out a way to cheaply manufacture rare candies, anyone could obtain a strong pokemon. But would these pokemon obey their trainers? They would not have the time to develop the family-like bond that comes from traditional training. The pokemon would have no reason to stay captive, they surely would escape. Discovering a way to produce rare candies would be a sort of pandoras box. Initially, it would be great to have all those strong pokemon, but it would throw off the balance between human and pokemon in the pokemon world. Humanity would be doomed.
Pokemon Teal starts in a world of peace. But that quickly changes. Strange events have been happening. Unusually strong pokemon have appeared in the wild and have begun to attack cities and towns. After investigating these strange happenings, the main character learns that a group of former gangsters have found a way to mass produce rare candies (which aren't so rare anymore). The new rare candies are almost identical to the naturally occurring rare candies, but there is something different. The pokemon raised by these artificial candies become extremely violent. Many of these pokemon escape their trainers and attack humans. The main character must stop this or else humanity will be doomed.
Help Wanted
Spriter - There are a few sprites that I need for certain events in the hack.
I also need someone to help me come up with names for cities and towns. Right now, I'm using "Hometown","Farm Town","Seashore City", and "Industrial Town"
Features
- No Gym battles. The pokemon league has folded due to the emergence of strong trainers using rare candies. After you beat the game, you will be able to challenge all of the gym leaders.
- I hope to write some original music for this hack.
- New region, trainers, cities, etc
