FireRed hack: Pokemon Faze Version

Hey there kids, I'm Curt and I'm here to take you on a wondrous adventure through the Reole region. The thread closed down due to activity, and the original team just kind of drifted away--but I'm back at hard work, striving to get this hack going. I completely restarted the hack, using JPAN's hacked engine and reinserting most of the tiles from the old one. Feel free to respond with opinions and ideas even if it's to tell me I suck.


Why am I playing this again?

Region info:
Enter the region of Reole, a new landmass full of wonder and mystery for you to explore. A very peaceful region, Reole has yet to have any catastrophic events or worldwide-news-making spectacles. The reason for this peace, although no one knows it, is a secret peacekeeping organization known as the Ghost Agency. Ghost is not known to anyone at all, and this allows them to do the jobs the normal police couldn't, such as having agents working under deep cover. Ghost is stationed in Atio City, a bustling tourist hotspot due to the nearby Aero Lake.

Story info
You start as a student in the Atio Pokemon School. After handing the headmaster's son (your rival) a bitter defeat in a school tournament, he challenges you to a rematch. No students own any Pokemon, instead the school has a storeroom full of Pokemon specially trained for the students to battle with. To have this rematch, you and your rival break into the school to get some Pokemon. Suddenly your rival deserts you just as the headmaster enters and catches you in the act. It seems suspicious how your rival knew just when to leave you high and dry...
A week later you recieve an unmarked letter at your house. You open it up to find an invitation to come join some kind of
Pokemon club called Ghost...



Originality, in my hack? It's more likely than you think.

Do I hear crickets chirping out there?

There are none at the moment.

I'm not to into Fakemon. Also I hope that those are just outline drawlings of the starters and not the actual sprites.

great story!

seems like it's going to be good.

wow! no gyms?! thats interesting!

hows the progress?

are you going to be getting promotions like in toxic purple?

Yes, there will be no gyms. I quite like that idea in a hack. Love it, actually.
Progress? I've just been scripting when I can, touching up the maps a little, fixed up the first route how I want it, and continuation requires a lot more indoor mapping right now.
I'll get screenies tonight if I have time to make a lot of progress.
Okay, time to type that english paper...

The video is awesomez !!!!!!!

What the heck? Only 8 post? c'mon people, this hack is pretty awesome. The names everything are pretty good, the maps are good, the story is interesting and well organized, and the features seem like something to look forward to. Good luck...In fact, I'll beta test for you if you'd like.

Technically you don't have the banner either. :P

Update: Dang, this thing seems to take up permanent residence on the second page. No matter what, that's always where it is.
Progress is being made people, at however slow increments. I have other things going on...
Oh well, here is a screenshot to show part of the latest script. In this shot your are reading a letter.

It's not much, but maybe there can be more to show tonight. Right now I have to take a break because my laptop needs to charge.

Oh wow! Awesome thread!

WTF is with the 25 characters??!?!

This hack looks pretty good, the fakemon look ok but if I were you i would give them better names. Is the whole hack just going to be fakemon though, or will there only be a few.

It's not going to be JUST Fakemon. It's about 25 fakemon. Yes, I'm part of the team. And Yes, I have made some of his fakemon.

What's wrong with the names? I slaved over those... Well, the Briobulb line anyway.

@Teapot - I actually have 53 planned fakemon, I just haven't gotten around to making "art" of them all yet. I was actually planning to finish some more soon, but I tore my hand up in the batting cage today...

Sorry, no more visible progress today.

Fizriket reminds me of a steak, and tadroli reminds me of Sushi. XD

THe bulb is ok though. XD

Finally, an update!
No progress beyond whatever RSC has mapped in the past few days (which is actually quite a bit), but he made a video of everything scripted so far.
Please ignore the tile errors at the the bottom of the beginning room, and the block errors with the blue door and the flowers.
Scroll on up to see the video.
Great job RSC.

Edit - I hijacked the embed and added it to the first post.

Man, this hack is good, but only 53 Fakemon? I was expecting more!
The video looks really good.
But the starters seem a bit...8 colored, if you know what I mean.

Curt may add more... But that will be between him and the spriters... and meh! hehe! xD

Okay, now I just realized that these Fakemon look flat. You should try to add some more shading.
