Platinum hack: MAGM7 Entry: "Richard" + Pokemon Awesome Version XD

[hinkage]

Hi,
Here is a hack I made for a contest last year (Make A Great Map 7). Idk why I just got the idea to post it here.
The contest is about themes. As I understood it, the theme I chose was "it's unsafe to go out at night," or something, so I made this very spooky and scary and rippen.

I was originally making another FR hack but then I dropped it cuz I got bored. Later I started making a Plat hack instead but I got bored again. ROM hacking is a lot of work for little reward because I don't market well. Also, let's players disgust me. For me, the real heroes are longplayers without commentary.


In any case, here is the download link:

MAGM7

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

You will need to use DeSmuME for the emulator, as the ROM base I used was a bad dump. (More like a big dump ifykwim.)
Also, the ROM base of the dump is "3541 - Pokemon Platinum Version (US)(XenoPhobia)"; you must patch using this ROM. Obviously I can't post it here, but it's easy to find.

As a bonus, here's the original, non-contest demo of Pokemon Awesome Version XD if you are interested in a more traditional Pokemon experience:

Pokemon Awesome Version XD - Demo 12-26-21

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

This also requires DeSmuME, of course, having used the same ROM base as my contest submission.
It only goes up to the first gym, but it has a few routes, towns, a rival, and some other (very cool) stuff.

You can patch .xdelta files with... Xdelta, which you can find here:

Mods if you want me to make two threads I wouldn't mind doing that either. Just approve this one and I'll delete the demo stuff and make it all about the MAGM7 submission.

Super duper cool screenshots here I'd really rather not spoil, but if you're not interested yet:

Frankly, a lot of what I wrote here in this hack is just weird and/or gross. I hope you enjoy.
(If you are interested in the Make A Great Map contest, leave me a message, don't ruin the thread--leave that part to me.)
