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...

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!

It seems like a very creative hack. Atleast you finished it and put alot of effort, and that's the main thing here. Anyways, it looks good!

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

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.
 

Luck

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?

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.
