FireRed hack: [BETA 1 Available] Pokémon: Next Generation

[Christos]

How about adding Dark City on your way after going to Cinnabar Iceberg?

You can find many stuff to put in the game that were in the anime but not in the games.

Dark City is located in between the Safari Zone and Cinnabar Island in the anime, it does not appear in any of the games.

In episode 42 the city was the center of a battle between two unoffical Pokémon gyms. The Yas Gym and the Kas Gym both competed to be the gym of Dark City. The Yas Gym mainly used a Scyther and the Kas Gym used an Electabuzz. Ash and his friends worked together to stop the feud between the two gyms, and eventually they agreed to work together to rebuilt the town they had destroyed in their fighting.

Good idea. Fortunately I've seen the episode ^^ so I know what to do. Ohh, nice idea of many street battles between the two gyms... And a nice tileset.... Aww..... I love the idea. It will be there!

Yes, it's good to put in some extra anime stuff, but don't forget that Kanto was distorted. So everything will be redone. Or at least slightly changed. Thanks for great idea, Christos!

 

[Clayton XD]

Woot!
Those pallates look just uber! ^___^
Looking forward to more! =D

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

cant wait to play, looks awesome and your doing great.

 

[Chaotix]

Keep working on this one, it looks ALOT different for the place to still be kanto.

I like the look of the palettes, may not present a noticeable difference with the originals, but still, looks "natural", as you said. Good luck destroying Kanto maps, jojo!

Good luck to you and the team helping you with ideas, etc.

Oh! And I'm still wondering about this New concept of beginning of yours... XD

 

[DiamondDust]

Good Idea, I can't really see how you're supposed to get to them islands at the bottom, because you'll have to surf a long way there and I'm sure you'll put obstacles to make is so hard, ride a boat or change the boat into a plane or there's a secret passage that you can enter under a town that leads all the way there.

Keep it up.

 

[Zak1392]

Looking great! Can't wait to start playing it! :P

 

[Martin Yiu]

Umm... NG is dead.
I cannot continue due to many reasons...

NO!
That was a joke, people.
I'm here to show you new box art which I've made yesterday. I know it needs to be improved, but take it as a box art for beta :D

 

[Chaotix]

Nice box art, im intrested in this hack, so far.

 

[Martin Yiu]

Thanks! BTW I've completed pallette editing so far, so now I can go to the mapping process. Yippeee!

NOW SCREENSHOT TIME!
New titlescreen

Route 2 - Viridian Plains

Redesign of Viridian

New Pewter City

This project is now led by a new group: Rom-hackers Alpha Inc. led by me and Christos and a group of quite skilled hackers. If you consider yourself as one, try it. And intro will change too (that RHNG) and don't forget first post.

really nice screens
but i really don't like the paletts of the mew in titlescreen

 

[Martin Yiu]

Mew? I know, it's bit too dark, but it's only a concept prepared for beta 1. So don't worry. BTW it was my first try to change LeafGreen's titlescreen with a tutorial for FireRed :D

EDIT: Okay, development reset. Changing codebase back to FireRed. Don't worry, in the end of week will be everything almost like before (I add some stuff to the old maps)

 

[BlueSonic]

Hey, Nice Maps, A hell lot better than mine ^_^

Anyway, keep it up!

 

[Swimmer♂]

The hack looks amazing, really great work. I like your "green" theme alot. If you need any help just PM or whatever......Keep up the awesome work!

 

[Martin Yiu]

Screeshot time! I've redesigned the first two towns, Pallet Forest, and the first route. I've changed some palletes and graphics, and I want to show the titlescreen of NG officially.
So...

Titlescreen

Pallet

Route 1

Viridian

Pallet Forest, revamped Crystal Pikachu

 

[Christos]

The titlescreen looks really nice.

The screenshots are great, what's with that rock in the 4th screenshot in Viridian? Is anything special going to happen with that in the game?

 

[BlackRainbow*]

wow! it looks cool
i really like the titlescreen and you mapping
great work
