FireRed hack: Pokémon Genesis

I just started playing through it and noticed something you may want to change.

In the intro, Oak introduces the rival as his grandson, but in your game, he is clearly not.
I know it's only minor and probably been mentioned before but I thought I'd notify you anyway Thrace.

Good luck with the rest!

That's because he hasn't changed it yet. That comes default in Pokémon FireRed, but thanks for notifying Thrace about that. You might want to change that, Thrace. XD

By the way, any updates or news? I'd like to see something new. :D
 
Uhh, sorry, im new here, and when i try to patch the firered rom, it says that the rom cannot be opened for writing. the patch has be cancelled. Anyone can help me?
 
I like this hack a lot. I do wish that there were elemental stones on sale at the Department Store, and that more shops sold Pokeballs (most things can be caught cheaply with just pokeballs, and it saves money in the long run.) I love the berry shop, by the way, and also the library.

Also, curious about the reasoning in delaying Mareep's evolution.

Some bugs:

[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Genesis

North of Granite City, walk in the southernmost patch of grass and there will be a mess of pixels where Granite City should be.

South of Granite City, the beach cliffs do not extend all the way to the left and right of the screen.

At the ice city, the left forests can be walked through.

I remember I came across a male swimmer who turned the screen red and crashed the game south of Granite City, but I forgot to screen him.

Also, when I use teleport after having last used the Pokemon Center just outside the second cave, it teleports me to the middle of the snowfield south of the city with the third gym, allowing me to skip many things, including a rival battle.

^You used a rom with a header or some extra pieces that threw off the data. You need to get one from a different source.
 
I guess I suck or something. I FINALLY beat Mike, and I tried going south and ran into my rival. As soon as the battle starts, everything goes black. The music continues, but the game just stops on a black screen. I then went to the Library thinking I had to try something there, but I got into a battle against a camper with much higher leveled pokes and was severely thrashed...

I absolutely love this though, it's the most fun I've had with Pokemon since G/S/C. :D
 
Wow! I was told by James that you wanted nothing to do with Pokémon, I guess you do! Well good luck to you! This hack is so impressive, now I can't want to see it progress and get even better xD
 
Awesome hack. I love it! especially the story.

Hope you never quit. Good luck with your hack.
 
Thanks everyone. I had sort of given up on Genesis for a while till yesterday when a certain PC member guilt tripped me into working on it again. >:[

Don't expect updates as often as I used to make them. I just don't have the same interest in Pokemon (or hacking for that matter) that I had before. I wanted to show some updates but they're not quite ready yet.
 
Well would you look at that. Good ol' Genesis is back.
Hopefully we'll get to see some nice updates one of these days. Best of luck to you :)
