WOW! The graphics in the game look awesome. I can't wait to play to see what they are like during actual game-play! Good luck on this awesome looking project!

Glad to see the physical/special split in 3rd gen. The R/S/E graphics are very appealing as well. Nicely done, I can hardly wait until the end product!

I'm still in love with that HG/SS coloured R/S/E tree of yours, probably the best tree I've seen in a FireRed hack in my opinion. Graphically this is stunning and without a doubt the best looking hack on the forum (both in battle and outside of it). Bravo.

Bulbasaur will not be learning Flare Blitz, that screenshot was taken so I could show off the animations I've been working on.


Just wondering When did you start working on this hack? You mapped up until Route 1 but added a bunch of new moves.
It depends, actually. There are many aspects of this hack that were made/decided a long time ago, but there are certain things that were done recently.

In it's current (and hopefully final) incarnation, I started working on it in late August. The first thing I did was to extend the move table, and I have added 113 new moves, all with new animations. I even repointed and extended the background table, and added a decent amount of new backgrounds, mostly for the new moves, but I've also used them to update animations for old moves, such as adding a background to Waterfall. Once I completed all the new moves working 100%, then I began doing completely new battle backgrounds, to mimic how they look in the 4th Gen games (although for the cave background I imitated the Black 2/White 2 cave background). I have a backup of up to that point, which I like to call the, "Pokémon Saga ROM Base".

I completed the Pokémon Saga ROM Base in October, and I began working on Pokémon DarkViolet at that point (which, obviously, uses the Pokémon Saga ROM Base). So to answer your question, you could say I started working on it in August (when I started the ROM Base), or in October (when I finished the ROM base).

However, there are so many aspects of this hack that were decided a looooong time ago, and this concept of the "perfect Kanto game" that I have has evolved significantly.

Now, I don't want to write a wall of text, but I'm going to provide you with a history of how this whole concept started:

The screens are nice man, i really like the oak overworld, is it custom made because ive never seen it before.
And the edits you have made give the game some originality which just makes me want to play this even more, also will there be a team rocket event on the ss anne? Its okay if you want to keep it a secret you dont have to answer that question.

Hmm... is this a completely new Chaos Rush story or does it follow/is based on the manga?

Out of curiousity, any reasons why the Pokéballs and Pokédex's have been swapped around from the original releases?
In HG/SS, during the event where you can get a Gen I starter Pokémon, the starters are on the top table. My maps are all based off of HG/SS maps, and since the top table is smaller, it's more aesthetically pleasing to have the Poké Balls on the smaller table, rather the Poké Balls on the big table, and putting three gigantic Pokédexes on the small table.

Yes, it's custom made to mimic the R/S/E style. All of the custom graphics in this hack were made by me.

(and yes, I will fix the weird Pokeball palettes, its a side-effect of editing the HP bars, but it's an easy fix)
