BETA3 Release: Main Region Completed

Introduce


Hi everyone, I'm Duchuy.
I started rom-hacking quite a while ago.
Now I am here to introduce my new hack, with the goal of giving you a great storyline and beautiful graphics.

Story


Pokmon Dark Realm
[Previously Pokemon Virtual]

That was what X Company called their new game, fresh in development, to be released in the late 22th century. The game was made to stimulate your neurons directly as to give you, the player, the best and most realistic experience a game could give you.
But something went wrong ...
One day, a normal day, the kind of day you don't expect anything strange to happen, you went to class.
Everything was normal, until you got lost, in the "Pokemon" world.
- That's where our story begins.
The only thing you want is to escape this strange new world, but the longer you stay, the more you get immersed in the story.
You will meet many legendary Pokemon in human form, get to know a lot of stories that were never spoken about, be the owner of a monster from the Dark, and finally become a hero against all odds.
We'll lose all hope and try to forget the pain of the past and carry on in the future, hoping that one day, when the game is gone, everything will be over.
But memories never truly go away ...

Features


Story splitting
- Depending on which gender you choose in the beta 3, the story splits. If you play as male, you can go to Sky Island and catch Shaymin. If you choose female, you can go to Atlantis and catch Latias.

Transparent Textbox
- with an ON/OFF option.

Reusable TMs,
- All TMs are reusable, they stored in an Ancient Lanturn. I have put a note where to find them in a txt file within the games files.

Name Rater, Move Deleter, and Move Relearner
- will be available in every Pokemon Center. the Move Relearner will teach your pokemon for free!

Mini safari
- A place for catching rare pokemon, as well as grinding your level, Every mini safari now has a free healing spot.

Others
- Mugshots for important characters.
- Running inside enabled.
- New legends: Rivengon and Leon.
- Mega Evolution. (outside? of battle)
- Ingame Cheats. (in progress)
- Many mini games: Follow the Pikachu (Closed for now), Feeding Bunnelby Carrots, Racing (in progress), Dino Cave, Game Center, Safari is now Jurassic Park.
- Bank System.
- Tower 100: A tower of 100 levels.
- Mini battle Towers.
- Shiny Pokemon are easier to find!
- Adoption Center. (Maybe in upcoming Beta)
- BW/BW2 Repel System.
- Generation 1-6 Pokemon.
- TMs Destiny S, Payday, and Headbutt are usable on all Pokemon.

Credits?


Spoiler:
I tried my best to remember all of people I have their works in, but sometimes it's really hard to find out because I started this hack long time ago. So if there is your graphics, your sprites, your works that you seen in my game that doesn't have credit, that's because I can't remember, just for years... (As the swamp monster sprite, I search about 1 hour, and dont find it XD).

Just shoot me a Pm, I'll add you immediately.

I can help a little with cleaning up your English if you want me to.

Do you know how to use Advance Map and XSE, I'll send you the map list and then you can open script in XSE, then fix it and send to me, is it ok?

Yes of course. Thanks. I'll send you when it ready

Thanks :)

I added some mega poke:

Mega CharizardY
Mega CharizardX
Mega Blastoir
Mega Venusaur
Mega Lucario
Mega Salamence
Mega Pidgeot
Mega Gallade

Editing these poke. I think my pokemon list is finished, and won't change in future. I'll edit it once so you can continue your saved game after beta1

And um... there will be no fakemon except my legend Rivengon and Leon, because WaterTrainer refused me from using his fakemon. That's my fault from the start when I think it's ok to use his awesome fakemon. I want to say sorry to him.

Hope you still love my game. Love you, everyone.

And I need some help on mapping and spriting, if you can help, I appreciate it very much.

Thanks to the Developer for giving me the opportunity to beta test the hack, It's simply an amazing hack that received a lot of love! If anyone is interested in what the gameplay is like, I will be making a YouTube series on that hack. Here is the first episode showing the first 10 minutes:
