Ruby hack: (NEW!) POKEMON TOPAZ by bazza

POKEMON TOPAZ is finally here!

After a year of ROM hacking i've finally finished!
It is a hack of POKEMON

You are TEAM ROCKET'S new recruit in the region of TOPAZ...

Your new boss (GIOVANNI) assigns you with a mission...

To capture the TOPAZ region's rare POKEMON for his research which will make TEAM ROCKET rich!

The game begins as GIOVANNI offers you a promotion if you do well and then you fly into SHAWFORD in a helicopter, your mum hurries you into your house as SHAWFORD is swarming with POKEMON POLICE...


So what's new about this hack?
A completely new storyline!
In POKEMON TOPAZ there is 200+ new POKEMON to catch!

There is all new POKEMON trainers to battle...

Completely new mapping (every town, cave and route changed!)

Some new attacks...

Some completely new maps, added to the game!

And much, much more!

Weird that considering how many people enjoy being on the dark side this hack hasnt been noticed around here. Oh well, at least it's good to know of another finished hack.

I guess I'll take a look at it when I have some time, although I'm not of the TR-followers, and spriting and mapping are not too impressive. However, probably that will be replaced with tons of fun and new stuff to do. I'll give a better opinion once I try it.

Alright, congratulations for finishing it!

Yep its fun try it. Also love the time machine and the clock face type deoxys.

Congratulations

Congratulations ^^
You are the 3rd Hacker in complete a hack in GBA.
(All the hacks complete are in Ruby, Yeah!)

I hope to play that great project.
See you! ^^

congrats on finshing ur hack, it looks really good, I'm looking forward to playing it, (yea, I can finally be a bad guy :P )

altho one thing that caught me attention was the fakemon, they don't look that great.

but still you've made a complete hack from start to finish, a feat not a lot of ppl can claim. :) *downloading now*

it's a good hack, but it takes a while to download.

(By the way, what happened to the rule of "no distribution of ROMs"? It's a .GBA file.)

Why not allow people to download a patch instead?

WHat would be great is if you didn't make new pokemons and left it how it was.

The rocket story sounds perefect, just the Pokemon really ticks it off.

Still its great, COngrats man.

So is that a patch when i download it is 16 mb, so wheres the patch for it

there is a bug in Ashy Way. after I beat trainers and I can't continue..
And there is another bug in Victory Road (near bridge)

Awesome! I thought I had dibs on Topaz, but oh well. Best laid plans and all that.

Linking to ROMs is against the forum's rules. Follow this to make a patch of your hack and upload it instead of a ROM.

This game looks brilliant, i love the idea as playing as the evil side for once. The fakemon look ok, but every time i try to play it comes up with a blank white screen.

Im the start of the game when I try to get a starter pokemon the game glitches up.Are you going to fix this?

This looks pretty solid. When I get some free time, I'll have to give it a play.

the game is great so far bazzaroony but whenever i choose my pokemon, the game freezes.
here is a picture of what it looks like.


is it your IPS patch or is it because my ruby rom is maybe hacked?

I liked playing this hack.It was awesome. I like the new trainers and new gyms.Congratulations on finishing it!Also I like the champion too.I got finished playing the hack anyways.

Erm, whenever I try to start the patched game, I just get a black screen. Not even an intro. Can I hav a little help here?

when i try playing this hack, the screen just stays black. is there any reason to this?
thanks
EDIT: I downloaded topaz and im playing it...

That happened to me too makunouchi

im playing pokemon topaz and it's great! the only negative part is that the fakemon are annoying. I really think that it would've been better with the regular pokemon. This is most likely because when i meet them in the wild, i have no idea what type they are.
