Hey all;
Currently, i've had an idea storming around my head for a Rom Hack that i'd like to undertake to learn Gen III hacking; naturally being the perfectionist I am, this would literally be under so many revisions, but I digress.
Currently the idea that I've had in my head is this:
You are the son of Brock; former Gym Leader of Pewter City, you've never met your Mom and you have just turned 10 years old. You currently live in Pewter City, and you're father has converted from a Gym Leader to a Full-Blown Pokemon Breeder; he's spent years learning and by the time you've turned 10, he has his License in Pokemon Breeding and has made several innovations in the field. You however; are unlike your Father because you haven't shown much of an interest in picking up anything involving Pokemon until having bonded with a very special Pokemon that stumbled into you're care from a Pokemon Egg that Brock had misplaced during one of his commutes from his Egg-Center. Now that you've turned 10, you are able to take your Pokemon Trainer Licensing Test and become a Trainer; you haven't decided your path yet, but you are sure that you want to become one of the best Trainers ever!
That intro isn't quite the best it could be, but some features i've been thinking of are these.
As it stands; this type of hack has been something i've wanted to do for years, I wanted to question this however; does any of this seem impossible? I'm not an experienced hacker by any means and learning all of this will be a long-process.

That intro isn't quite the best it could be, but some features i've been thinking of are these.
- A very special Pokemon will be your starter; it is unique.
- Pokemon Trainer Academy; this was something I recall from the infamous Pokemon Old White by foullumps; basically, I think it'd be really cool to start the game in an Academic like scenario where you're introduced as having learned how to be a trainer.
- You aren't a prodigy; this might seem weird, but I never liked how you were always this character that could be amazing at being a Trainer; I want this to be more challenging, perhaps on the level of difficulty as some of the side-show hacks.
- Neo Team Rocket; Reformed Giovanni?
- Re-designed Kanto; If Brock is now old enough to have a Child that is 10, that leaves you an idea of how much time has passed since Red and Blue's Adventures through Kanto.
- Adventure through both Kanto and Johto; Naturally, I've always wanted to make one of those Hacks, because it seems like it could really work out well, and as someone new, it wouldn't be the worst to start on.
- Egg-Centers! This is an idea that i've thought about because of Pokemon Glazed; in the Daycare in Johto you could pick up a Pokemon Egg for 500 PokeDollars, and I thought that was really cool, and i'd like to incorporate this on a much-larger scale.
- three(?) main rivals each from Pokemon Trainer Academy
- 16 Gym's (Obviously) but only one Pokemon League Challenge?
- More ideas coming.
