Oak's Aides

[droomph]

YESSS FRIDAY IS OVER FOR YOU ISN'T IT?

WHAT CAN WE DO TO START?

BZZBZBZBZBBZBZBBZBZ SO EXCITED

Sooooo yeah.

 

[Mana1]

YES IT'S OVER *-*

Chrunch is doing a/some maps at the moment, once that is done we can hardcore script. HARDCORE.

Maps at the moment:

Beginning Town (Contemplating calling this Daisy Copse as a shoutout to Oak's future Grand-daughter?)
Route 1
Second Town (No Gym)
Route 2
Route 3

So, the sequence of storyline events so far decided on, for the story:

Agatha stumbles into [Daisy Copse] dazed and confused, and quickly runs off into the woods.
On instruction from your parents you follow after her, where she is saved and possessed by a Gastly.
This leads you to [Second Town] where mysterious things have been happening, which after some investigating leads to discovering Gastly and Agatha on Route 2 - Where you first battle her.

Comments/Critique?

As to the ~ghostly happenings~ I'm thinking possessed TVs, some odd recollections from the residents and Pokémon jumping out of nowhere. Any other ideas?

 

[droomph]

Didn't it say that they were once friends?

...Like, they were bffs but then Oak started becoming a wimp and stuff?

So when does that happen?

Also little pranks by Haunter and Gengar would be a good thing, because it's know that they're playful (in a way).

It's suggested they met each other during their journey, but then derailed and led separate paths when Oak decided not to fight in the Pokémon League :).

The main thing missing between the Oak/Agatha relationship is how they become friends, etc. Basically during the game Oak will help Agatha deal with her troubles, yadda yadda yadda, with some aspect of friendliness/trust in the middle but with them then splitting apart at the end?

:D

 

[droomph]

Agatha said that she was bffs with Oak for a while, so probably build up the relationship until the end-game, and then yeaaah

I'm working on Oak.
Taking a while to get the odd hair do right, but yeah.

And I'd love a Amphoros for my Mugshot.

EDIT:
Here's it so far

Spoiler:

any changes (I tried to do that here as good as possible, but i couldn't do that top hair properly...

Looks good so far Nintendork!

I am a little worried that the young-Oak in the anime is a little ~plain~ looking for a protagonist, maybe if you can play with the hair a bit to make it look more individual? Maybe try a few just on the front-view sprite and post them here for everyone's opinion.

 

[Mana1]

Is anyone able to work out an ASM routine for the hack? Ultimately the game would benefit greatly if the OW sprite can be changed (either by changing the sprite or using the female gender as a 2nd sprite) in the flash back scenes - as then the scene is controllable by the player.

Any ideas people?

 

[chrunch]

I believe it can be done without ASM, I'm just not sure how. :P

I know in Ruby it's a simple as writing a byte, especially to define gender, but I have a feeling it's encrypted in FR! I shall try out a few scripting methods and see if I can make anything work though.

 

[Lord Varion]

Haven't worked on the overworld yet.
But for the added more to it, since it was plain,how bout a hat or something in the hair?
Would look a little more trainer-ish?

Yeah slightly bigger hair I think, make it a bit less 'helmet' like?


As to the timetravel, at the moment it will have to just be cutscenes rather than the player being in control of Old-Oak. Luckily there is still time to sort it, not quite sure when the first should take place - 1st town? 2nd town? Decisions decisions.

 

[Mana1]

Progresss!~

Chrunch, I'm going to need those maps soon :)

Right, so thanks to Spherical Ice and Haku I have managed to turn the diploma into a letters system!~

[Chane Mail is a stand in, it will be [REGION] Mail but it is currently un-named!][As is Mossport]

So, discussion for this thread:

What do you think the Region should be called, and why?

Think about: Connections with Flowers (our town names), Trees (Oak) or something else that might tie in with the story.

Also! What should our lovely Postman be called?

 

[.Mini]

Here's what you asked for :p

 

[Charvisioku]

Chrysantha as a region name? Just a thought ^_^

 

[MightyHeracross]

hello there

I don't really have much experience in Rom hacking, but I've been playing for a LONG time. I would like to aid in the development of this story. I love the idea of younger Oak.

Just a few ideas:

Spoiler:

- I think it should be kept as Kanto.

- I was thinking about having guys like Flint as the Pewter gym leader.

- Maybe leave the fighting Dojo in Saffron City.

- Have Ponyta/Rapidash with buggys in the streets.

- Do little things to make Kanto look like it would've 40-50yrs ago.

- Maybe Oak shouldn't bee a "teen." He should be like 30 years old.

- Have the player start with Charmander. Sammy had a Charmeleon in the Celebi movie. On the other hand, have him start with a Dratini. Oak has a Dragonite now.

Now thats just a sample of some of the first thoughts i had when i saw this. PM or Email me or just respond on here. Id love to be a part of the next big hack and I feel I have a lot to offer!

Thanks!!!!
