I've been wondering when there would be a yellow tribute 8D
I'm stoked for this! Can't wait to see it done. I love how pikachu is on your back instead of following you around.

Hopefully this wont die like the other yellow remakes
because i know its sorta hard to do
I think Hacks get more attention around PC, so the game is staying a hack.

Also, don't worry. I'm more motivated than ever to work on this.

They are connected. Something to the left of them.

The hack is of Firered. Maybe I should edit that into the first post, amirite?

I'm very sorry I didn't put "Pikachu's Tale Supporter"...

Also, expect a Banner soon...
Looks really good. :) Only, I hope it's not a big deal, but the name is still subject to change. Don't get mad if I make a slight change. :P

So is that you starting the scripting now?

One thing I was thinking about. When you battle Jesse and James are you just going to have them keep the same Pokemon but keep leveling them up?

...

:shocked: That's awesome. It owns the one I made.
Really nothing creative, look at one of the later Season One episodes, and you'll know instantly. I'm not telling, because it adds a tiny bit of "hmm" to things. :P

Jesse and James will have the same line-up as in the anime, of course. If things begin to get stale though, I may add a few pokemon to their team. Each of their battles will be double battles.

And come on, both are great. :P

Thanks for your support. It really helps. :P


Anyway, updates. I'm hesitant to insert any scripts until I know for sure I'm not going to mess anything up, so I'll just continue to work at it little by little. Tomorrow's the weekend, which is when I really get to work, so we'll see about things.

Hey I am definately excited about this game. I am curious if you are putting in the Pokemon League from the anime?

Also a friend of mine is curious if you are putting an event in with the two gyms in one city thing (the Kaz and Yaz gyms)?

To a certain extent, yeah. I haven't planned that far yet.

I've said it a hundred times :P If it's in the Anime, it's probably in the game.

I mean for certain buildings. Palletes are staying, for sure, though I may change the main tree to that of CheesePeow's first Rombase.

Someone recreating Yellow as the best series of the anime. The adorably lame puns kept intact. Everything that should've been in Yellow (as it was supposed to be the anime version), but wasn't. Towns-of-the-day, big maps, things that brought me to watching the anime every afternoon like maybe Jigglypuff (Oh, PLEASE!).

Gaahaa. EXCELLENT! This looks like it'll shape up to be immense and wonderful. I'll be keeping my eye on this ^.^

I have an idea for all the houses in Viridian. In real life, you dont just walk into people's houses do you? So, if you make only some available then it would be more realistic.

Also, instead of sticking straight to the anime, why dont you add a few things in aswell? Such as the Pokemon ranch idea (but make it so its just random pokemon, not your pokemon box), i hope this isnt gonna be too linear with the anime aswell...

Haha, thanks. Yeah, lots of little things should be in. Maybe some random dude doing the Pokérap.

I've covered this. If there's room after I finish Kanto completely. I won't cut corners to include it.

I don't want to make it THAT real. I need to keep it close to the actual RPGS. But yeah, adding no-door houses sounds reasonable.

The game isn't going to be "linear". You'll go somewhere, and do an event; you'll be free until the next event starts. Not constraining at all. As for the ranch idea, I just don't think it'd be very interesting talking to random sprites and having them purr at you. Seems like an aesthetic thing that the game can live without.


As for the hack.. It's nearing May, which means exam season. Don't worry, the hack will live. Just don't break anything if updates are parse.

Anyway glad your still as dedicated as ever, can't wait till next update. What (in between revision) are you planning to work on next?

And as for breaking things...

it still appears to be a very good hack and a very good idea, but how are you going to fit so much in there without making the file size larger.

unless you can make a patch which enlarges the other members .gba file size or sending out the .gba file instead (which we are not aloud to do anyway).

Hi Barker, you hack seems pretty cool.
So does that mean that in addition to Pikachu following you in the game, Misty and Brock will follow you as well?

agreed

but anyway this isn't real-life, so why not the thing like you can go in every house. I mean like when Baro makes in pokemon marble big cities, it's ok with some "locked" houses but if a town only has 3-6 houses it's pointless

If you actually took the time to read through the previous comments you would see that pikachu will not follow you therefore neither will Misty and Brock. To overcome this pikachu will be included in the Ash sprite.

Well.. I need to focus on scripting. I refuse to move ahead until what I already have (Episodes one and two) are fully scripted with at least beta quality; With full work on the hack being sparse till at least the 18th, I'll probably do some inside mapping and dialog too.

I'm not worried at all about it not fitting. You shouldn't either.

I think you're all taking this anime-realism thing too far. Just because an actual city has thouands upon thousands of houses in real life doesn't mean I need to add a trillion houses in game, no door or locked door or otherwise. If I make Viridian and Pallet huge, not only will the lines between towns and cities blur even more, I'll have trouble showing that Saffron is indeed a GIGANTIC town.

Expect some sprawling cities later in the game, not here.

Edit: I have some free time today, so I'll do my HoW thing, then see if I can't work a little. I'm surprised at just how busy I've been. Also, help has been offered numerous times, and I'm feeling a bit of help would be in order.

Hmm, it sounds really good - but from what I've noticed, A LOT of people are doing this idea now. It seems a great idea, but there are flaws with the anime - like stated; the lack of evolution to the characters pokémon.

Wow, you got me by surprise. I thought this would be impossible but it turned out awesome, the idea that Pikachu would be on your back is really cool and I think it will suit. You need a good spriter for this though.

I like your maps but I think you should get a windmill for Prof Oak's lab. Route one looks awesome as well. I like the idea about going in-depth with the Amine references because that will make people more interested, the bad side is that more scripting will be needed.

I really love this hack and I'll kill you if you stop! Happy hacking!

I am really looking forward to this game. I think though that having an event per episode is unrealistic. Such as the episode where they go to hophophop town (which wouldn't be on the map) and kids are hypnotized. The events that involve direct plot would make more sense. But, for all I know you could of been planning that anyway. Sooooo, ya, I support this and really want to see more of it.

Maybe uh.. Ash..ley..

I'd want to shy away from just putting Misty in there, because she doesn't use Pikachu and has her own story. If nothing else, I'll just make both male. Afterall, I'm going for continuity.

Orange Islands, possibly, as I've said, but defiantly no to Hoenn, Johto, and Sinnoh. One idea is that, if Kanto's PT gets pretty popular, I could do the same for other regions (E.G; Take the anime story from Johto and apply the same idea, only in another game.)

The whole Yellow-remake/Anime/Comic thing? Yeah, I noticed that. Either way, I've had my idea a while, and I'm not going to deviate.

That's one of the differences we'll have to have. As I've said time (and time) again, if a person really wants to keep things exactly as they were in the anime, they can do it manually. (In this case, they can use Everstones)

Well, doing something with Oak's lab sounds pretty popular, so I'll probably end up doing something; I just don't' know what at the moment. Thanks for your support though. ;)

Hophophop town would, actually, be a town in the game. (Unless I find I'm running out of space, in which case I would simply move the event to another pre-existing town.) Anyway, at least one event per episode is the going idea. Thanks.
