FireRed hack: Pokémon Gaia Version

[*Comet~Stars*]

WOW!!!! That is so......AWESOME!!! {XD} Can't wait for the release (for Beta 2).

 

[KeyRogue]

I'm not sure if you implemented the "Presents" bug fix because it didn't appeared and it's not listed in the readme file.

And nice work on Windmist City Ice.

 

[Percy]

Work on Beta 2 has started with the next city in Orbtus, Windmist!

You may also notice a new type of over world there: they are the Explorer Trainer class! They specialise is Ice-types.

I like to play it, but, I only play hacks that are completed,
nevertheless(wow, old word, sorta{XD}) the progress is fast....
I look forward for the completion!

So I caught a wild Roselia, and was trying to evolve it to Roserade using Shiny Stone but... nothing happen, do I need to max its happiness 1st then use the Shiny Stone?

Oh, that was a mistake on my part. I haven't added the fix, but I have removed it from the credits.

Thank you!

Oh, thank you for bringing that to my attention! I'll be releasing a small Beta 1.1 patch very soon (which might unfortunately break compatibilty with 1.0 saves) which will have this and a few other things I've found fixed and will also end less abruptly than Beta 1.0, i.e. it after the second Gym.

Speaking of which, here are some screenshots of the second Gym in Orbtus, as well as some more showcasing Windmist City!

That Snow Casting Weather Seems Cool.

Wow nice looking I'll be watching this i love custom sprites!

 

[Samyujas]

This Hack is looking good so far and i hope to see beta 1.1 or even beta 2 soon^^ Good luck with the project

I also encountered a few bugs or other things:

Spoiler:

Using the move "Mud Bomb" sends you back to the title screen.

I don't know if unwanted or intentional but you get a charcoal when you are talking to the black belt and if you talk to the bole next to the sign you get a second charcoal.

I don't know if unwanted or intentional but you are able to use the escape rope in "Cliffside Forest"

I don't know how it happened but once in "Phoena Tunnel" everything of my body except a part of my head slipped away and that part was different colored than before.
Can't post a picture since I havent posted 15 times yet ^^

You can't enter one of the plates in the room where "Prof. Redwood" gives you the first Pokémon.

Most of these have been fixed. I couldn't recreate the Phoena Tunnel bug, and the Cliffside Forest thing is intentional.

Beta 1.1 is now out!

New update!
I'll be looking forward for this one

Hey there! I've been lurking around for a while and came by to say your hack is great and nice to see some progress!

I've tried playing with the 1.0 beta save for a while now and everything seems to be working, except for one thing. The rival battle activates even if you've already traversed Phoena (Archan) Tunnel and when the rival approaches you the game freezes. Other than that the story plays on normally in the Frostbite Cave without any hitches.

Take care and happy hacking!

PS. Love the characters who offer to change the ball your poke resides in!

E: You prolly want to hear about typos? In the second gym, Nina says something in the lines of "You have singed my three trainers". ;D
E2: A bug that's been out since beta 1, the guy in the underground path thinks you've traded him a Solosis for a Gothita even if you haven't. The trade is therefore pretty much impossible to execute.

 

[Percy]

I thought that the beta "1.1" is just for bug fixing...
but I see that you changed a lot of things...
good job! *insert clap sound*

Thanks! I've fixed both of those bugs, you can redownload to fix them.

I redownloaded and patched, the trade is fixed but the rival encounter still freezes the game. I guess it's just happening when using an old save file as you've already fought the same battle elsewhere and the tiles activate it for a second time. Don't know if it's fixable?

I'm interested in the reason for the name changes! I personally prefer Phoena to Archan, and Aerlic to Aerous. Though if there was some story based decision then that sounds fine. Still your choice regardless just thought I'd mention that.

Definitely going to try it out. I'll post with some feedback soon.

 

[Fun Size]

Just finished the new patch and I loved it! It made my day to be able to successfully use my .sav file so thanks for that! I must say the music you added to Windmist City was just amazing. I loved how light and cheerful it was. Also the fact that you created sprites bundled up in a coat was a really nice touch that I've never seen in a rom hack. Good luck with the hack although you probably don't need any since it's so solid.

Yeah, that's most likely the reason. I can't really think of a practical way to fix it unfortunately, so I'm just going to write that off as a compatibility issue. Sorry.

I found that the older names were unrelated to the actual places: Phoena City was originally named that because Apex Temple (which has Ho-oh, i.e. a Phoenix) was originally going to be on top of it; that's changed now as development has progressed so the name means nothing. Archan, on the other hand, gives the impression of an archaic town and of the archaeological relevance, etc. As for Aerlic, I just preferred the sound and look of Aerous, honestly. Thanks though, I look forward to your feedback!

Thank you! I'm glad you managed to use your old save. I love Windmist City's music too, but all credit for that goes to the always-amazing giradialkia. Thanks for the feedback!

A quick question, is the HM Rock Smash available yet?

Not in this release, it isn't, no.

 

[Draxxo]

Sorry if this may seem like a noob question, but is this hack able to play on android? If so how would you be able to download it on one of the emalutors available on the play store?
