[CraigDestroyerOfWorlds]

I'd like to see this completed because diamond&pearl were my favorite games. Anyhow, good luck.

After this huge blank about the hack, I'm proud to say that the beta 1 is near completion: 95%!!!

The changes in this version are more noticeable:

• New evil team
• New tiles and sprites
• Clearer plot and texts
• Improved stability of the battle system (it still goes slow, though)
• Updated move animations
• Bugs fixed (Dawn is now Dawn and not Brendan xD)

Stay updated the next days, it can pop up here at any time! ;)

Looks so-so. I'm not really a fan of 4th gen.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Wow this is already almost complete? o.o
I totally forgot about this since it was not active but now you say it's near completition? Wow, you really did work hard :D

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

THIS IS SO AWESOME!

First i was looking at the screenshots and everything (i don't like to read lol) , i really thought it was a Diamond hack :D when i saw the video adn that it's a gba hack :D i don't know what to say :D cool :D

I think it is a Diamond hack, seeing as the video gives that away with the need for a touch screen for the moves to be used?

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

Of course this is a Pokémon Diamond hack, that's the main point of it ;)

And guess what I have here! OMFG, IT'S BETA 1!!! I have created a trailer-like video to present the hack in Youtube too. Here it is:

The download link is in the first post. If you find any glitch/bug, don't hesitate to share it here, please.

Glad to see the first beta is out. I am about to start playing it.

Update: I have found the location of the map headers in Pokémon Diamond. After playing around with the bytes there, I was able to do this WITHOUT CHEATS.

​

You can clearly see that everything 2D will be now 3D and that the 3D camera for towns, cities and routes has been tweaked to look BW-ish.

Sweeeeeeet!
The 3-D Camera looks awesome :3
Can't wait for the release with that ;D

Awesome! However, if this is better than the original, than why would nintendo not do this? I guess they just wanted to make B+W look good.

Great to see this being posted on again. I thought it was going to die. Remember, I can help with spriting.

 

[Tan and Teal]

I'm not sure if you know this, but I found some typos. A few were at the Lake when Barry/your rival is talking.

 

[AquaticWartortle]

WOW! I love Brendan's backsprite! It looks so good. I also like how it has a dark tone to it. This may seem like a stupid question but what are the starter Pokemon?

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

@Tan and Teal: Thanks for telling me, they are already fixed.

@AquaticWartortle: Thank you very much! The starters are the Sinnoh ones.

If the starters are 4th gen then can you make a few events so that you can get other generation starters. For example, something like in Pokemon Yellow where you receive the starters. It would be great if you could do that, or even better if you make the event more advanced.

Anyway, good luck!

Yep, that's what I've planned to do. And every starter will be available :)


First Screenshots of next beta:

​

What is N doing in Sinnoh? What makes he want to battle the player?

Coming soon in... POKÉMON DARKDIAMOND.

 

[Lord Varion]

The new graphics look sweeet!
And the return of N, very original. (no sarcasm xD)

 

[Pingouin_7]

I REALLY hope this project gets completed.
This is probably the best Gen 4 hack I have seen so far.

 

[Team Plasma Sage]

These new stuff are really epic. Really cool hack.

But do you mean we can get all of the starters or that we have to choose?
