It's been a few days since my last post so I thought I'd show off more scripting progress.

The Sightseer from SuMo that Rangi uses for Polished Crystal is in the game (with my own OW and sprite edits). This ones complaining about crossing the Tangelo Jungle.

New mom sprite. She's reminiscent of Red's mom in terms of dialogue, but hints that she is a very powerful trainer herself.

Shame such a promising hack that is miles above the quality of a lot of what passes for a hack these days is getting ignored because gen 2 is so niche here. That said I'm very excited when there is any update for this.

 

[lilbluedemon]

Orange you glad this hack exists? I sure am.

I can't wait for this to be fully released, it looks amazing, and will be amazing <3

 

[PiaCRT]

Some nice updates to share with you all. I have successfully added a new tier of fishing rod, tentatively called the MASTER ROD, it will fish up level 50 Pokemon from the deepest parts of waters you decide to cast it in.

Thanks to FIQ's code, I also have double speed in the game now! This is pretty much the beginning of the improved framerate code, so expect some faster gameplay. since Running Shoes aren't in this one and the Skateboard isn't obtainable until Mandarin Island North.


I've successfully ported a MIDI of The 6th ED of the Japanese Anime as the title screen music of Orange. It's still a bit rough around the edges in some parts but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Next is WAV cries, so expect Wingull to sound like an actual Wingull next patch! Also, Gen 6/7 Pikachu cry anyone?

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

Personally, I'd prefer it if you kept Pikachu's original cry. Same goes for every other Pokemon from Gen 5 and earlier.

Had no intention of using the new cries from Gen 6/7. Pikachu is the only one. I wanted to port Yellow's cry over at first but doing it this way it should be much better quality.

It's not like Pikachu being voiced is even a new thing, I'd argue it's even more weird Pikachu doesnt say it's name as its shown in every game trailer, every movie, every piece of Pokemon advertisement, etc.

(the games also a light midquel between Yellow and Crystal, as Jessie and James are in this, so imo it fits that Pikachu retains its anime-esque cry)

It's going to be good Hack... But I more counting for Ancient Platinum. Since PLATINUM on GBC was going to be something great. Orange Islands... Well... It needs game. But In case of time. RBY is better option for ORANGE ISLANDS in my opinion. <Especialy Yellow>

 

[Mr.Mako]

I fail to see how Yellow would have been a better choice than Crystal. Yes the game is just as complete disassembly wise, but that's about it no one has really done anything with or for Yellow. So jumping whole hog into that wouldn't have done Pia any good. Making this on Yellow would have probably taken even more work than it has for Crystal.

Love the "Orangean" Butterfree!
And is that Ratatta in the screens an Alolan Ratatta?

It is. Most alolan Pokemon have been included aside from Vulpix line and Sandshrew line. I think I've added every other one. EDIT: No Meowth or Raichu either, considering Alolan Raichu, though.

 

[Piloswine]

Cool! I can see it fitting with the theme of Pokémon with different appearances/traits that exist only in the Orange Islands.
In fact I wonder if Orange Islands was an inspiration for Alola.

 

[PiaCRT]

Alpha 2 is nearly complete, all that's left is adding some new Pokemon and fixing up Cissy's OW sprite.

 

[PiaCRT]

Alpha 2 is ready!

You can download it here (fixed)
As usual this is a hack of Pokemon Crystal (USA)

What's available:
3 Islands
1 Gym Badge
Old Rod
1 Trade
Over 50 different Pokemon!

What isn't fixed (yet):
Trainer card (old sprites, needs to be updated completely)
Alolan Pokemon do not have updated movesets (base stats and typing is correct)
TM32 can not be taught to anything yet
Naming screen palette not fixed
Wingull still has Sentret's learnset

Enjoy!

Cool hack! Do the ol pokemon have different typing just like alolan?

No, was considering it for Crystal Onix but decided not to to keep Brock and Drake's teams intact.

Good work!

Just a little something I found again; the second gym trainer went over the rocks to battle me.

Thanks for that, small oversight. I've fixed it in my copy now.

 

[esperance]

Gave the alpha a play. Very nice! Really liked the music and map designs, feels very much like a tropical GSC. Looking forward to playing some more!

How are you implementing Crystal Onix? Whatever you're doing to differ it from regular Onix, there are a few routines you can edit to special-case that Onix as a different type (Rock/Ice?). Those are: battle/core.asm: InitBattleMon (where it sets BattleMonType1), InitEnemyMon (where it sets EnemyMonType1), LoadEnemyMon (where it sets EnemyMonType1), and text/types.asm: PrintMonTypes (where it sets BaseType1 via GetBaseData).
