So bassically this is a GBA remake of a diamond version... I like it!
But I'm suprised that nonone posted anything on the thread so far as it is two days old... anyway good luck as you have a lot of work to do with scripting and sprite inserting...

 

[Co500]

Probably because of the name it isn't very appealing I wouldn't say this I a hack for me but I hope you succeed

 

[Zeffy]

If it weren't for those DPPt tiles, this hack'll look good.
You should try and use custom/default tiles, they're better! (b'-')b

I hope you succeed in this hack of yours.

 

[giradialkia]

If it weren't for those DPPt tiles, this hack'll look good.
You should try and use custom/default tiles, they're betterin my opinion!

Fixed, although you have a point about changing them- I know those DP tiles are perfect, but they're over used. I know they're appropriate for a Diamond... 'port', but I suggest changing them.
Will you be changing the battle backgrounds too? I just think the DPPt ones look nicer with the DP sprites ^^.

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

I will change the battle backgrounds to the DPPt ones, because the FRLG ones don't look very well. Also, this is not an exact port of Diamond to the GBA, it will have changes on the plot, and the name is not definitive, so feel free to say possible names for the hack :)

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

I'm glad to see that someone's again trying to make D/P/Pt hack and I really hope you will succeed =)

 

[giradialkia]

After re-reading the story, yeah, I realised there'd probably be changes :)
Names... Perhaps...
*Pokemon SparklingDiamond (bit too letter-y?)
*Pokemon RoughDiamond (bit... Meh).
*Pokemon DarkDiamond.
DarkDiamond sounds cool, but you'd need something to make it Dark in the first place, so... I dunno. Just my suggestions ;)

 

[JakeyBoy]

Why does he need to change the name? The only reason I came into this thread is because for once I knew what I was getting myself into. I may look further into this if it nears completion, good luck.

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

I like "Dark Diamond", and I can create a "dark" story. Maybe I could make Giratina, Zekrom or Darkrai the main legendary pokémon of the hack. And if I choose Giratina, of course the Torn World will be included. I will reflect this afternoon, and we'll see what happens...

 

[Perriechu]

Hope this Hack Goes well ! :)
Good Luck to you Sir/Madam :L :D
And What about
Having Primal Dialga to go with Dark Diamond ?

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

Primal Dialga is a good idea. But I have a "beta" idea of a story: Team Galactic wants to find all the species of Pokémon to clone them and use them to conquer the world. But, because the machine they use doesn't work well, the Pokémon they create are shadow pokémon. With this story, we can make Primal Dialga or Shadow Lugia a part of it. What do you think?

 

[bladewarz]

Sweet i want try it on gba i should pay on no$gba or others but my pc is to weak xD Keep the work! Bookmark

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

Can a moderator or an admin change the thread title to "FireRed hack: Pokémon Dark Diamond, please? I want to change it, but I can't...

 

[bladewarz]

I like more Primal dialga/palkia shadow lugia bored and BTW its 2gen and you creating 4gen

 

[Perriechu]

Yeah that's a good Idea but stick with the Primal Dialga but you should chuck Palkia in their Shadow Palkia/Dark Palkia/Devil Palkia xD

 

[MKSSB]

Awesome hack-rom!!
I like those tiles, and the idea of a Diamond premake for GBA is good!
Can't wait for the first release!!

~MKSSB

 

[bladewarz]

One question do you gonna change Rival gary sprite?

 

[Tomackze]

Nice! I would love to play as Dawn!!!

BTW maybe you could make the rival different? Have the other sex be the rival? So if you are Ash your rival is Dawn and if you are Dawn your rival is Ash? That'd be interesting to do because that way both are in the game

How to fix the house glitch:
Just go to block editor, then save tileset 2, open it up in paint and move the house tile in a different place (the top) and I'm sure it'll be fixed. :)
Anyway, you should change the tree tiles as they're overused.
Good luck! :D
