Hello, I'm FBI, formerly known as FBI Agent. I decided to make a hack about a week ago from this unexplainable desire to create a hack of an open world. I know some people enjoy Pokémon games for the peasant trainer to 8 badge champion experience, some to explore the world and others to catch 'em all. I wanted to make a hack which would cater to all of these audiences as well as remain positive for everyone else. There's dark organisations, gyms, capturing and plenty exploring to be done!
I'm slowly updating the engine, and upgrading graphics for now. My main focus is to finish the game rather than insert all 728 Pokémon or however many there are now. As someone who hasn't played a Pokémon game since Diamond and Pearl came out, let me show you what I think one should be like.
Story:
Tom, a Pokémon Hunter, was coming back come after one of his hunts when he discovered a young and injured child washed up at the shore. He decides to take the child home, and together with his wife are able to nurse the child back to health. This child is you. Several days later, you finally regain and the ability to move and clear consciousness. You go downstairs only to discover that the folks who took care of you had left the property for some shopping.
Here you are, in an unknown land, with no idea what's happened around you! How will you lead your Journeys in this mysterious land of which you have no memory of?
Features:
Spoiler:
Open world
The world is fully open to explore. You can go wherever you'd like from the start, and do whatever you want! Of course, there is a main story line, but there are many other stories to be told by joining other factions or doing your own thing. Have fun, explore, decide how you want to play the game.
[*]Join new factions!
There are currently Five major factions in the region, but a few smaller factions available as well. Joining factions each hav
e their own benefits, and each present a unique style of play and a different story going on in the region.
[*]Fame system
Get famous! Do things that give you fame, let your name be known across the region. Earn fame by defeating trainers, acending the ranks within factions, beating Gyms, helping the towns people and more! Towns people will randomly walk up and say hi to you :)
[*]Level generation system
Opponent levels are being generated currently by a very complex level generation system which takes into account oppenent Pokémon's stats, your level, difficulty selected and who you're battling. Allows for better level-curve balancing in the game. The experience gain system has also been modified too!
[*]Dexnav and empowered PokéDex
A functioning Dexnav as seen in ORAS. Yeah, the whole graphical aspect of it too, basically I really like the route scanner and the whole "tuning the machine" aspect of it all. I've decided to port it to FR with all of it's features intact. The PokéDex is slightly changed. The full Pokémon details are available once you see the Pokémon rather than capture. I think that makes sense if you're using a completed encyclopedia, similar to the anime!
[*]Perks system
Joining certain factions and repeating certain feats gives your perks. The Perks improve as you progress, and can be really creative like adding extra game mechanics to the overworld. You'll see.
[*]Difficulty Choice
At the start of the game you will be asked which difficulty you want to play. Playing in hard mode increases mart prices, forces set mode battling, influences the level generation system, and some other things. I may consider making a Nuzlocke mode and other changes to increase difficulty in the future. Obviously, easy mode is just the default difficulty.
[*]Double wild battles
Nothing that hasn't been seen before. I'm going to try and complete it, as no one has finished it 100%. Jambo51 was quite close, but apparently even he couldn't escape from the graphical bugs which exist!
[*]Trainer sliding (when I finish the pesky thing...)
I'm so close to finishing it. There's just one bug that needs squashing regarding the opponent Pokémon's refreshing.
[*]HM function changes and new field moves
I've decided to remove the HM dependency for certain field moves. Fly has been replaced by the flight master, Surf, cut and others have their mechanics for usage changed.
[*]Battle Frontier/Elite 4/Gyms
So there exists the ability to just do the main story line while getting badges and doing up the Pokémon League (which is it's own faction). Some of us like the 8 gym battle system. So be it, you can enjoy your Gyms, Elite 4 and Battle frontiers!
[*]Shiny Encounter chances adjusted to match current generations
Chaining has been introduced as well. You can now see how much your chain is affecting the wild shiny chances.
[*]A bunch of cool ASM routines!
There's a lot going on in the background. TM mechanic changes, Left and Right key functions have been remapped, an updating objective log, running shoes changes, ingame trades, capture exp, among other thing which would take pages to name and describe them all!
Have you got a cool idea for a feature to add? Let me know, if I like it, I'll try implementing it!
Screenshots:
Currently default graphics. I'm going to finish the game first, then add miscellaneous features like graphical enhancements, and new Pokémon. Graphics are kind of hard for me because I'm colorblind.
Videos:
It's an open world. You do whatever you want, including running into the grass without a starter, like a maniac. If you find yourself in this situation, you'll be unable to do anything but stare the Pokémon down for a few second before being forced to run back home.
Spoiler:
If you're too high level you don't get exp. If you are the same level or at most 5 higher, you get normal experience. If you're lower level, you get boosted experience. The boost stacks with the trainer exp increase and the traded Pokémon bonus.
Spoiler:
I changed bed slightly. With the absence if your mother healing you, I thought this would be a good change for the game.
Spoiler:
So there's a faction called the Psychics. If you choose to become one, you'll gain some overworld perks. One of them is clairvoyance. You'll notice I pause the emulator inbetween, that's because the variables aren't set to activate it, so I have to manually set them in the memory viewer.
Spoiler:
Another overworld function from the Psychics. This one allows you to teleport 5 steps ahead if the block has the same permissions and height as the one you're standing on (so no jumping through mountains or off bridges). Again you'll notice I pause the emulator inbetween. It's because I'm setting the bytes in RAM which act as the switch to call the routine :P
Spoiler:
I might make more videos since in my opinion they show the features off better than any screenshot ever could. I don't know what the preference is however, do people like to see screenshots or watch short clips? This is more of a story, and gameplay driven hack than a graphical one which I could please people with screenshots. Again, I'm colorblind so graphics are a pain for me to do, pals especially :(
Progression:
Like 1%. It's really not very tangible, the game is going to be rather large with so many possibilities. I haven't quite pinpointed when I want to stop. I've absorbed a lot of knowledge these past couple years, and now I'm trying to release it in the form of a hack!
Spoiler:
Boken City: 90% (still need to finish Gym interior and polish up )
Route 1: 100%
Boken Forest: 100% (I might go back and add some faction events here)
Boken Cave: 100% (ditto above)
Route 2: 100%
Auqnata City: 40% (Finished the ASM and Mapping for the city, now to script)

Extras:
Well, unexpected section over here. Someone made a userbar, so I thought I'd put that in here too.
Thanks to Termigator.
Feel free to make your own stuff for this section if you wish :)
Ooh! The ASM Lord finally have his hack. I bet this is going to be a supreme hack. I took a look and read the features, it caught my attention that some of those things aren't widely common in the Pokemon (core game) world. Looking forward to this one.
"Open World" got my curiousity. So that means the player will have to go into far places by foot, or some kind of transportation you planned there. Since that you have given it to go anywhere, it is gonna be a long trip to the last town (e.g. League) from the start after new game (in just about seven minutes of gameplay). Haha!
I'm really interested in knowing more about this Psychic faction. Apart from the "power-up", what kind of things could a player expect to do as a Psychic? And what exactly does the clairvoyance ability do?
This certainly looks promising, and I'm definitely looking forward to a release! Good luck! :)
hey get more help for this hack its cool BUT if you dont add all pokemons like all of them its going to be a normal usual hack.Pls add everything i dont care about the graphic its fine just add everything else
This gonna be a next level of pokemon game.your idea is awesome.i will look forward to see this hack in a completed version.the feature i want is mega evolution.hope you think about it.bro,good luck

There's a guy in every major town who flies you places if you pay him off. Money certainly has a bigger impact in this game, as you can pay most people off to do things for you and stuff. There's also type-perks which I'll talk about a little towards the end of this post.
So I'm at a delicate point in this hack. I've inserted enough ASM routines to hit the 3 digits for total inserted. I'm 100% too lazy to post tutorials for all of them, that and I feel like people are just using my stuff and research without mentioning me. I personally don't really care too much about that, it's slightly irritating to do a lot of documentation and no one really acknowledges it. Basically, I'm super demotivated in making posts there anymore. Also, there's zero incentive to do so.
That said, I'm not going to go out of my way to obfuscate things. I'll make and post an ASM log file with the locations to all the routines in the ROM. Keen people can RIP them from there. That's the easy solution :P
For the Super Trainer EV hack, what do you have in mind? :o

Thanks! The Psychics are a group of, well people who were born with Psychic abilities. They keep their existence secret by wiping the memories of people who come into contact with them. Their goal is to live in total secrecy while researching more about their abilities. As a Psychic, you will mostly be retrieving research from facilities and dealing with abusers (Abusers are people who aren't part of the Psychics, but use their powers in the open for personal gain). To the psychics, dealing with abusers is important to keep living in secrecy. They also intervene if something bad is happening in the region (if it threatens their state of living). There's a lot more to their story than that, but I think this is a safe amount to reveal :)
Clairvoyance has two modes. One mode is far-sight, in the video, it lets you see what's ahead. The second mode is right before you battle a trainer, you can read their Pokemon team. Effectively seeing their Roster and Pokemon order. You switch between both of these modes with the perk menu (WIP atm).
hey get more help for this hack its cool BUT if you dont add all pokemons like all of them its going to be a normal usual hack.Pls add everything i dont care about the graphic its fine just add everything else
I'm trying to make a hack which is gameplay driven. Adding Pokemon, graphics and misc features will come in the future. I'll try to add as many new Pokemon as I can, let me first finish more of the game :)
Thanks Christos, I fixed a small spelling error in your post for you btw. Right now the only thing I need help with, are boring things like inserting stuff. So if you wanna help with that, you can :P
This gonna be a next level of pokemon game.your idea is awesome.i will look forward to see this hack in a completed version.the feature i want is mega evolution.hope you think about it.bro,good luck
Thanks and sure, if I can fix the bugs in Megas right now, I'll include it :)

This week I've mainly been busy mapping and adding in features/reworking current faction ideas. I'm not very sure people are interested in Overworld pics, so I'll probably keep the random "garbage updates" (which I consider to be just pics of the players overworld running around maps doing nothing) to a minimum and post to show the coooler things I'm working on.
I thought I'd first share a little about the factions I'm currently working on. They're seperated into Main factions and sub factions. Sub factions are distinct from the main factions, but they are smaller in terms of story and impact in the game. Currently every Pokemon type has a subfaction. Joining a faction, and completing their story gets you faction specific perks. I'll go through some of the factions and perks now.
Main Factions:
The Hunters Guild:
The Hunters guild, like it's name, is an organisation made by Pokemon Hunters. Pokemon Hunters are basically like Pokemon collectors. Their goal is to catch 'em all and have fun exploring the region. The leader of the Hunter's Guild is the Gym leader at Boken City. Diana is the region's closest trainer to successfully capturing all the Pokemon, legends say she caught a Gyarados with her bare hands, of course, legends are legends.
Perk lvl 1:
- Increased exp on capture (3x more exp than fainting). The idea is to keep the spirit of a Hunter intact, and allow players to go around capturing as many Pokemon as they can rather than spending time battling when they don't want to be battling.
- Access to funds. Money is a big part of this game. Being part of the hunter's guild, the members will pay you off to learn more about where certain Pokemon are located and for filling you Pokedex.
Perk lvl 2:
- The DexNav. Your Pokedex is upgraded to a Dexnav. I think this is important to have for someone who is hunting for Pokemon. The dexnav would definitely be useful to have :)
- Your capture rate goes up the more Pokeballs you've throw in your lifetime. 1 ball = 1% increase capture chance. I want it to feel like overtime you are getting better at capturing Pokemon.
Perk lvl 3:
- Impressed at your collection, the last trainer you battled will offer you a trade. If they think the trade is relatively even, or even in their favor, they will trade you. Trading is also one of the ways of filling your dex, and thus important for a Pokemon hunter!
Perk lvl 4:
- Attracts. An attract is the opposite of a repel, it increases the encounter chance of Pokemon. However, there are many types of attracts, there are some which only attract a specific type of Pokemon. You can have an attract and repel on at the same time. ex: If you have the Fire Attract and you walk in a patch of grass, while having repel on, you will only be able to encounter Fire Pokemon. It makes Hunting for specific Pokemon easier.
- Legendary Hunting. Unlock legendary Hunting. Charles's little brother gives you hints and helps you track down certain legendary Pokemon!
The Psychics:
The Psychics are a powerful group people gifted with Psychic abilities. They live their lives in secrecy, while trying to understand and master unworldly powers. Recently, a large wave of abusers have spawned throughout the continents, and the Psychics are trying their best to suppress the abusers.
Perk lvl 1:
- Clairvoyance. The ability to see what's ahead in a path and when a trainer challenges you, you briefly have the chance to see their Pokemon, and rearrange your party.
Perk lvl 2:
- Psychic Teleportation. The ability to teleport 5 steps ahead of where you are standing. It cannot be used to jump through height levels
Perk lvl 3:
- Psychic Force. Enables water walking, the ability to crush stones and push boulders with your mind.
Perk lvl 4:
- Memory wipe. You can erase the recent memories of trainers, allowing you to rebattle them.
- Bansih. Send certain NPCs to a different Dimension temporarily.
The Bandits:
The Bandits were once a threatening group of bandits and thieves who ruled over Terra. A few years ago, their leader disappeared mysteriously, and the group started to die out. The co-leader Darts is trying his best to keep things rolling, but the Bandits are a shadow of what they once were, with only four members remaining.
Introduced System: Wanted System.
After committing a crime, you become wanted. If seen by a Police officer, they will approach you and arrest you.
Perk lvl 1:
- Stealer. Approach NPCs from behind and steal some of their Money,
Perk lvl 2:
- Snag Ball. Capture Trainer Pokemon
Perk lvl 3:
- Funded by the bandits, do small quests for their members, and be paid off money
- Earn double money
- Pay off police officers to let you go
Perk lvl 4:
- Don't pay money when you lose
- Use the Bandit's reputation to shop freely at marts
- Threaten people who are selling things to give it to you for free
- Buy property in Terra. You can own the whole place :D
The Pokemon League:
The Pokemon League oversees competition between trainers. They allow certain services to exist such as Pokemon Centers, and Pokemon Gyms. Joining the Pokemon league means becoming a registered trainer. Once you are registered, you'll be allowed to use these services, and climb the ranks.
Perk lvl 1-2:
- Allowance to shop at marts and use Pokemon Centers
- HMs can be used as field moves, like normal games
Perk lvl 3:
- Once you defeat the elite four, you are offered a position as the Gym leader of Boken City
Perk lvl 4:
- Once you've defended 50 challengers, you are offered a spot in the elite four
- Access to things like the Pokemon Research Labs (which I'll keep in Mystery for now).
All type-subfaction perks:
Perk 1: This is normally a certain field move. For ex: Flying types can Fly, water can Surf. If your type doesn't have an HM move, you get a different field move (Fire gets Sunny Day, Dark types get veil ect..).
Perk 2: Type specialization allows increased shiny chance for Pokemon of that type
Perk 3 (unlocked by Pokemon league faction): If you beat the elite four using only one type, you become the "Master" in the region of that type. It's just a fame perk, and you get your own Gym for it (1 Gym only though, no multiple ones).
Ahh, you don't know how long I've waited to make a post with a bazzilion quotes in it like the popular kids :D
There's a guy in every major town who flies you places if you pay him off. Money certainly has a bigger impact in this game, as you can pay most people off to do things for you and stuff. There's also type-perks which I'll talk about a little towards the end of this post.
Thanks friend!
So I'm at a delicate point in this hack. I've inserted enough ASM routines to hit the 3 digits for total inserted. I'm 100% too lazy to post tutorials for all of them, that and I feel like people are just using my stuff and research without mentioning me. I personally don't really care too much about that, it's slightly irritating to do a lot of documentation and no one really acknowledges it.

It seems that there're many amazing functions and routines in this hack! I appreciate your work!!!
/*(But it's quite strange to see you making a hack instead of writing source code xD)*/
Features! Features focused hack, I would never imagine that I will fall in love with it. The presentation of the game play is unique. I support this hack.
Wow, the factions sound amazing, and there are so many choices. I cannot wait until the first demo is released.
Would joining the Bandits prevent you from defeating gyms and fighting in the Pokemon League?
Is it possible to join more than one faction? I do have a question though.
Will all 721 Pokemon be in this hack (eventually?)

You can join all 4 of the "big" factions without conflict. The idea with the bandits is that when you're low rank, you're not really in the radar, and at higher ranks the organisation has corrupted the area enough to where they can cover things up. As for all the Pokemon, that'll be a goal, but it'll wait until I finish other important things first :)
I've been messing around with the titlescreen recently. It's rather limited in the sense that it uses all 4 available BGs, and the title takes 13 of the available 16 palette slots. That's why you'll see a lot of hackers having "still screen" titlescreens, in which the "press start" doesn't flash. It's the trade off for having a background that is more than 4 colors/not shared with the press start palette. I've found a neat workaround for that, and even added in a cool (imo) cry when the Pokemon comes in.
I'm thinking of adding some OAM effects too, the obvious one being wind, but that I think would require some sort of sound effect to be super cool. For now I settled with having Latias move around a bit.
Obviously, I'm not good with resizing large sprites, so the Latias could be better looking.
Oh, almost forgot to mention, SphericalIce made the text for me :D
Hey guys, it's your friendly double-poster FBI here again. Recently I've been working on making a DexNav, while it's still incomplete, I thought I'd throw in what I have so far just to keep the updates happening regularly. It's a rather large task, as I'm sure you can imagine. I've yet to make the Search Screen.
Updates:
- Added new movement speed "Sneaking". Hold A + movement buttons to sneak. No other movement speeds have been replaced.
- Implemented 80% of DexNav. Missing UI and missing a few minor implementation details like Search level not increasing if you don't battle.
- Added some battle backgrounds
- Some mapping done (not shown in this update cause, who wants to see maps anyways).
Hey, thanks a lot! And thanks for the banner too :D
Thanks, hopefully you'll find it to your liking!

I'm thinking of adding some OAM effects too, the obvious one being wind, but that I think would require some sort of sound effect to be super cool. For now I settled with having Latias move around a bit.
Obviously, I'm not good with resizing large sprites, so the Latias could be better looking.
Oh, almost forgot to mention, SphericalIce made the text for me :D
The title screen is looking nice, although there are some lone ugly pixels around the Version Logo that might need to be changed. The sprite is fine size wise so don't change it.

Thanks, I've fixed the random pixels in the titlescreen logo :)
I've also went back and shrunk the textsize for the dexnav pop-up. It's much smaller now, so you can see more of the OW.
Right now I'm working on a complete follow me and "disguises".
Disguises are supposed to be the Ghost type OW perk, basically you can disguise yourself as the last person you talked to and transform into them temporarily. It can be used to sneak past gaurds with a disguise, and get into places you otherwise wouldn't be able to. It was a tough decision between disguise, possessing NPCs and walking through walls, but I think disguise will be the coolest one out of those three. I've already finished coding it, I just need to work on some bug fixes, because some NPC OWs don't have running sprites/ect.
Follow me is for after you become champion. You can make someone your student and they will travel with you. The benefits are they will keep your Pokemon healthy and occasionally have HM moves on their Pokemon which you can utilize :)
Not to toot your horn too hard, but if this somehow gets completed, it could be the best hack of all time. I'm dead serious, this looks incredible.
Best of luck to you, FBI.
I'm expecting the greatest hack of all existence. No pressure, buddy.
EDIT: also you should show the world how to do "Follow-me"(if you have indeed figure it out, so somebody can make a Pokemon Yellow remake.
