Guys! This is FAARSAL. I'm here with my very first hack.
I have tried to make it the best I could. It is suppposed to be hack different from the traditional ones( Collect badges & won League etc..) Hope you're gonna like it.
You are a boy of 12 years & it's not your birthday(It's a usual day ofcourse :) )
A new Pokemon professor has moved your town from Kanto Region( Yeah, it's OAK) but he has
brought some problems with him. Since his arrival, a Legendery Pokemon from Unova Region
has started to appear in the region. One day he calls you and ask you to bring some special information
from his friend in other town. From this time you keep bumping into Gary Oak, Ash Ketchum &
some other anime stars to fullfill the task Oak assinged you.
*New Region
*New Graphics
*New Tiles
*New Pokemon ( From All Gen 1-6)
*New Story
*Physical/Special/Status Split
*New Moves
*New Overworlds
*Choose from Four Starters(All from Sinnoh)
*Updated Pokemon Sprites
*Travel with Ash & Brock
*Pokemon League Tournament (Like Anime because Elite Four are quiet bad)
*New Characters & Rivals
*Decaptilization( The Rom won't SHOUT on you :) )

Hi,
Have you considered joining a development team at all? Some people are better with some aspects of hacking than others, and if you work well in a group environment it may make for a more fruitful ROM hack overall.
Anyway, I would suggest looking at other hacks, and their storylines/mapping and possibly playing the hacks as well. Your mapping is overly simplistic and the backported 3D sprites aren't inserted very cleanly, and the maps themselves have way too much negative space (try and rethink the structure of the towns). If I were you I'd not focus much at all on tiles until your other skill areas shape up a bit. Also, your story isn't all too bad, however still I'd recommend removing some of the marysue-ish aspects of it and adding in a little spontaneous creativity (the anime crossover is a bit... out of place? idk).
I hope my comments helped in making your hack. Good luck

My hack's region name is Sky!!
To be honest, I wouldn't consider Sky a good name for a region. Region names are usually a bit more creative. But I'm not really in any position to judge. :PMy hack's region name is Sky!!
Back on topic, Screens look nice. You made good use of Sinnoh's tiles. You could work with the Male Player's OW a bit.
Scratch that, It's actually pretty good. I think the hair's just a bit dark for dithering.
Well good work mate!!! Your DPPt Trees and tiles fit with the HGSS style buildings!!!
it gives a very diversed aroma

I have made many new maps for the game but you are only seeing the screen shots of very first town. I have made it simple for a reason you know. and if you don't then you will know very soon

Judging from the maps you have presented later ones don't seem likely to be all that different... you can prove me wrong though.

It's my own style. But yes I will consider to make them better. Improvement is always needed even if you make the best you have.........

No offense, but your style is... lacking. I hope it gets better, though.
The tiles look well combined, but con the screens I see very poor mappings. Style looks like Pokemon Platinum Red and Blue...
Anyway, sprites are pretty well and I think you can improve this, and show us more things. Go on!

My only concern is scripting, make sure everything's spelled correctly. Other than that I am pretty eager to see how this goes.
I'm curious about the title of this hack: is the move Electro Ball buffed or something? It just seems like a relatively random move to name the hack after, even if Pikachu is of significance, because there's the sig move in Volt Tackle and the sig item in Light Ball that would both hold more relevance. Is there a meaning I'm missing?

Nice Questions. Electro ball is involved in the task that is given to the hero by Prof.OAK..... Story is well written but sorry I have not explained it in the thread..:P
Well, this looks promising. I think I'll look out for this.
Nooooooo!!
My hack's region name is Sky!!
...Are you serious? Now, I'm probably not good at recognizing if names are good, but come on! Sky is a terrible region name! I'm sorry, but it kind of had to be said.

SUN AND MOON HYPE!
DUDe ask me before taking the tileset of fr nds style out ans modyfing it
Proof: the fences,the recolored grass,the rocks,the pallet town houses with the same errors

To all the people that still wonder, yes I still exist.
From what I can tell Nex's claims seem to be legitimate, FAARSAL, so I'm going to have to ask you to remove the offending tiles from your hack and reupload screenshots with tiles that you do in fact have permission to use. If you can't do that for whatever reason I'll just have to close this thread, unless you can prove they aren't stolen.

Well, If you want to remove the thread you can, but in my defense I have got these tiles from devinart. from alucas account which were public. And I have myself made a bit of them. Yes most of them are not mine but I was going to put a credit list after the release
Well looking at screenshots, the hack looks fun and promising, good luck in making it.
Finally the alpha is released! Are You excited guys?
I know you aren't because the hack has not got enough but please do try it out and inform if you find any kinda bug!
Since I had to go out of town the alpha contains the following bug & errors
Incomplete Intro
Backsprite of Trainer is not updated
Female Sprite
Some Pokemons have FR sprites
Just finished playing the alpha. Overall it was pretty good. Tiles look nice. There are a few bugs/glitches though. First, the pc in you're room glitches if you click on it. A firered pc pops up instead of just using the pc in the room. There area couple of tile errors in the player's room by the windows. Also, the person who gives you poke balls is not there. You face nothing and receive them. The events aren't very smooth either. Such as player over world's randomly appearing. Also, a few grammar errors as well. Overall though it was a nice alpha and I'm looking forward to the next release.
Guys, I am having a bit of problem updating the hack, I have made a lot changes in the rom using Advance Map but they aren't appearing in the gameplay, for example I changed the flag of an overworld sprite but it reverts back when I close & open it again! although I had clicked the save button. If anyone has encountered this error before, please tell how I am gonna fix this

I got through playing the hack, and I must say Its quite a piece of work here. Im not sure if you've fixed some of these bugs or exploits skipping events but i'll list some of theme I've run into:
Music Missing from inside towns
Running shoes tend to work when they want to
An alternate Route on Route 21 allows me to pass the meeting with Gary
The Gameplay:
I'm not sure if you were just testing out the Pokemon Encounters, but Route 21 is ridiculously populated. I've ran into about 8 different kinds of Pokemon in the first Route. it felt like a safari zone. You should lessen the amount of Pokemon in the beginning routes. it's way too much for the beginning of a Pokemon Game. Also, the difficulty spike once you get to Route 1 is outrageous. The trainers and wild Pokemon were level 9-12. And since i had taken an alternate route to the Professors Lab, I was extremely under leveled. Even after I battled the Trainers on Route 21. I had to grind to be able to pass Trainer Lara.
The Characters and Text:
This needs plenty of work. I found the dialogue in this game to be very all over the place. It kind of felt like a random Fanfiction. What i mean is the conversation between the player and the mother made it seem as if the Mother wasn't sure what to say. The repeated word "Yeah" makes the sentence seem awful and unfitting for an Adult. I'd recommend fixing how you do the dialog. As in have one person talk per text box. Combining them makes it seem strange especially when you made the text different colors to distinguish who was talking. The interaction with Ash should also change. He took the time out to introduce himself and have a conversation with the Player, even though his Pokemon was injured.
Mapping:
Mapping need some work to be honest. It'd not bad, its just sort of bland. You should put in a little more creativity into it. Also probably add a little more flowers or structures to the towns. They seemed kind of barren. That or it was the tiles. I'd highly recommend going The Map Rating/Review Thread. There you can post pictures of your map and get great feedback from excellent Pokemon Mappers. It could probably give you some ideas too.

1. The alternate route was a mistake I had planned a rock there but it was not implemented because of my bad memory.Music Missing from inside towns

2. GamePlay:Aren't in anime you face a lot of kind of Pokemon in one place, I wasn't testing it for sure but I did put all the Pokemon I had with updated sprite.
3. Dialogs are made very usual ones. People often repeat words. Although the ash's one was really bugged one, I was not sure what to do at that time.
4. Mapping: I have received many complaints about it. I am trying to improve my mapping skills but don't you think changing the already done maps would be a waste of time?
