Pretty much the same way as the GBA, you just replace some Pokemon with mega forms and edit evolutions.
I am not very savvy when it comes to hacking sadly, I thought that it was impossible for the GBC and the GBA games to have evolution mid-battle.

Rom hackers do what the games are capable of doing, while programmers do what they want to do :P

This was a joke more than anything! Not sure if you get it or not, but Danny should. I still felt like quoting to your message though since it's "sort of related".

I admit I don't really get the joke, although I am fine with you quoting me since it does seem to be somewhat related.

Although do you care to share the joke, I have a feeling it will be funny once I understand what exactly you mean.

He is saying that "rom hackers" simply edit data of a rom and only create things within the bounds of what the game is already capable of doing.
But a "programmer" has the ability to create something even if the game is not capable of doing it to begin with.


And he is exactly correct. If I wanted, I could program Mega Stones and Key Stones and let the player use the Key Stone to evolve a Pokémon with the correct Mega Stone and trigger a mid battle evolution.
But it would be a LOT of work, since none of this exists in the game currently, and I would have to be programming a lot of this from scratch. And like I said, it wouldn't be worth it, because I think mega evolutions are dumb.

Ah alright, (tilts head slightly)
Thank you for explaining (I wonder if you got the reference I put in there)

As for the Mega Evolutions like I said before, it is completely understandable and I don't particularly desire to see Mega evolution in this game anyways, I just got curious so thanks for indulging me. :)

Will my hack be done soon? Probably not.

Excited for this! I like the new look of the town map. I think that the region looks WAY better that way.

I've been pretty busy, so progress has been slow but never stopped.
Considering how often you give us progress reports, I believe you.

I am guessing the others are just worried that this potentially amazing hack may fade away like many other promising hacks.

Yeah, I understand that. But I definitely won't stop working on this.
As of now, I'm getting close to what I want to be the Prototype Demo.

Thank you guys for your support. For now, you should take a look at my Gen. II Graphics Patch hack in my signature. I just released V1.4!

I have not been around in a while, mostly because I have spend a lot of time working on a disassembly of Pokémon TCG.
But today I have an exciting update!
Now, each Pokémon has its own mini sprite used in the party menu!

Thank you!
And you're right, those guys really did a great job with these sprites!

Incredible, are you also gonna implement these on your Pokémon Red - Gen. II Graphics Patch
Probably not, seeing as these graphics are not from Gen II.
And I have to have some cool features that are just for Prototype. ;)
