FireRed hack: Advent of the Bug

[dragon0fangz]

I am working on a mini-hack where the only pokemon are bugs. There will be 36 pokemon from
3rd generation and before that.

Story:
You start in Inzeta Town, with the choice of either Pinsir, Scyther, or Heracross.
Your goal is to conquer the Champion of Bugs, and become the best Bug Trainer.
There will be 2 gyms. You can go along a basic route system to Arachna Island. There will be a gym. Beat it, you get cut. You can then get to more places, including Challenger Path, and Nebuz Forest. Bug Summit is the place where the Champion of Bugs is. It is considered a gym. You beat it, you get rock smash, which can only be used to unlock green cape, which leads to high meadow, which has scizor in it.
There will be a "legendary" pokemon, Scizor. (Metal Coat is unavailable in this game, so you can't evolve Scyther, obviously.)

Added a new fakemon! this sort of shows off my skills at pokemon spriting too.
HIVEMAW - Bug type
Its basically a giant, moving, living, anthill. Its also a legendary

that's it...

Bugs:
Cant seem to get past Oak's warning, when you go in the grass.
Don't know how to script legendary events, (dialga, palkia, eg.)
I am struggling with unlz gba. i understand it, but i cant get the d/p sprites to look like their d/p counterparts. If somebody can help me, there will be 10 new pokemon, and a new section to the map (north of jenra bridge). that section will also have a gym.

Help would be welcome, no matter how minor.

I had an idea similar to this but cancelled this. Why don't you make up Bug fakemon or even a Bug legendary?

Sounds good that you're making a mini hack since most of hacks here never get finished :)

I really like this idea. I would play it. lol. I love bug Pokemon. :D

 

[dragon0fangz]

mmm.... i really wish people would help out...
oh well, i guess it can't be helped...

It's actually pretty easy to put DP Pokemon into the game.
I use FSF and Unlz.

And, if you look in the Rom hacking Resources, I think Wichu has all the Platinum Sprites, front and back indexded.
Also, there are DP sprites there too!

Sorry, I have decided that my hacking skills are just not good enough. This was a good refresher to get used to it, and i can see i need a lot more practice. I am halting this hack, but if anybody wants to take over the idea, and make their own version of this, they are welcome to. I am now off to join a hacking team and provide assistance in the parts that i am good at. (spriting, storyline developing, e.g.) If a moderator comes along, could you close this thread?
