Good Evening folks. I won't bore you with the constant details of this project, but i'll sum it up:
Hack Name: Pokemon Amber edition (though i see the name has been used above- if that
project comes to fruition i will rename this.)
Hack of: Pokemon Emerald, and perhaps later on either Fire Red and Leaf Green.
Additional Information about the Hack: This hack is intended for play on a flash card.
Features:
1. The hack brings in a new region, Cingulus (Below, map designed by myself) which will be bigger and better (hopefully) than any previously seen map.
2. Brings back night and day.
3. More weather conditions (Snow overworld, Hail, Storm at sea etc) bringing in new possibilities.
4. Features from the Ruby Sapphire and Emerald mixed with those of Fire Red Leaf Green
5. All pokemon up to the Fire red and Leaf Green using the sprites from Pearl and Diamond
6. Intended for the use on a flash card (so trading enabled if possible)
7. Many cultures in the region- including Mayan, Arabic and Ancient Greek.
8. More shops including "Secret Pkmn Centers/Marts"- Everyday conveniences found in trees and cut into the stone like Secret bases.
9. Secret bases are bigger and allow unlimited items inside.
10. All legendary pokemon will be available- except for the unobtainables (Which opens a new idea)
11. All HMs (probably apart from Whirlpool)
12. Return of the Radio and other features from games previous to the GBA era.
Smaller ideas are available on request, and more of these ideas are being divised.
Ideas:
1. Possibility of a larger Battle Frontier.
2. More Items.
3. ONCE the game is completed then it can be looked into to add in the other regions and more pokemon.
4. Also if the game is finished translations could be rustled up.
5. If the game is completed (Which arouses doubt) then perhaps the unobtainables could be somehow patched into the game with a Lunar IPS patch.
6. Perhaps there could be more gyms than in previous games in the single continent.
This is Cingulus- If you have any ideas or changes which you think should be applies please do PM or email me (Details below).
Cingulus without the routes and the towns. NB: The islands are different as i changed them while adding in the cities and routes. The islands surrounded by darker sea are all open- all have at least one feature but a few have towns. One of the islands on the bottom left is to be the new Battle Frontier- which one i'm not sure yet.
Story basis: Slightly like the Pokemon dungeon games recently released, the games focus around the idea that there is unbalance in the pokemon world. Pokemon are adapting wild and violent tendencies, often attacking human cities unprovoked.
Finished: Story frame is set, but alterations will inevitably be made. The maps have not been made, but this will commence shortly. Building and terrain sprites needed. Scripting has not been done.
Current Team: None for the Mo', but one may be formed.
My Hacking skills: I have experience with a resource hacker and i can do basic programming- i think i also have got to grips with EliteMap and Advanced Map. I also do graphics on Photoshop and have experience spriting for other games, especially Advance wars.
What is needed:
-Building, terrain and trainer sprites
-More mappers and scripters
-People willing to determine the positions of pokemon, gyms and their leaders, trainer names and classes, City names, other features
