hey everyone. im new here, and new especially to ROM hacking, but not to game design in general.

i just kinda wanted to pop in and say hi, and announce the fact that I'm going to do a gold/silver remake using 3rd generation graphics.

there will be small differences in gameplay from the original G/S versions such as...

1- more mini-games
2-introduction of hoenn pokemon (after elite 4)
3- completely custom character and rival sprites
4- revamped gyms, including the puzzles and pokemon sets of each gym's leader
5- bringing back the concept of taking on multiple reigon's gyms
6- possibly creating a 9th gym on an island somewhere where you will become the leader after obtaining all of the badges from all of the gyms, and random gym leaders/elite 4/rival battles will occur there.
7- and finally, a special cave called the cave of legends, where you can capture all of the legendary pokemon after beating the elite 4.


i'm planning on starting with silver, and renaming them Pokemon Luster, and Pokemon Glimmer.

(possibly a crystal remake too, and it will be named Pokemon Shine)

suggestions? comments?

 

[doesn't matter]

Learn to ROM hack first. That would be a good start.

it can't be as difficult as learning scripting. lol sure, it will take time to master, but i've used programs similar to the combination of programs i've found to hack this with to make custom zelda games (except that wasn't with ROMS, that was from scratch)

the hardest part will be making the maps, and getting some OW sprites for some of the legendaries.

but yeah ill toy around with this a bit before i actually start.
