FireRed hack: Pokémon Kyanite/Mercury

[iTeruri]

Introduction
Hello, and welcome to to region of SHIKU!
This is my first hack, I'm working on it for about 2 months now. I came pretty far in those two months!

Base: Fire Red (US) (BPR)

Story: (This isn't the whole story, I don't want to spoil it)
A few days ago, an earthquake caused huge damage in MT. MOON, causing giant rocks to fall and cut of several area's. Everything about the earthquake seems natural, except the for the fact that after the earthquake, more and more criminals were active.
You are a young trainer, and your adventure starts in Debu Town. First you meet a friendly Police Inspector en shortly after you head off to Cayon City via Route 47.
Shortly after beating the first gym leader you get more and more involved with the criminal activities. What are they about? Does that Police Officer really believe you are involved?

Features:
Flight Clubs: Throughout the game, you will find several flight clubs. These flying pokémon fanatics allow you to travel to other Regions. These events are optional, but enjoyable.
Random Starter Pokémon
Mystery Cave: A mysterious cave hidden somewhere. I'm not going to reveal to much, but think Mystery Dungeon. It is in the first beta, but you can't visit it until the last release
Street Gamblers: Hidden throughout the game are several gamblers. You can either win or lose

Screen Shots:

Spoiler:

Grammar/Spelling:
I'm Dutch and my English is far from perfect, however, I try to make the game with less errors as possible, be it bugs or grammar errors.
If you spot any grammar errors, please tell me so I can fix them.
Some of the screens show grammar errors that I fixed, but I was too lazy to make new screens so I copied them from another thread on a Dutch community.

The credits:
Teruri (me): everything from scripts to maps, so far I made everything (except for the default tiles, trainer sprites etc.)

The team:
As stated above, I did everything myself. However I do need help with inserting trainer sprites and tiles. I will make them myself, however the inserting won't work on this computer. That's a shame, isn't it? So close, but yet so far, from making this hack on my own :S

The releases:
Beta 0.1.1: https://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zzvjigoyuz1
It's a bit outdated, when I'm working on new maps, I forget to make warps on old maps. This is just to give you an idea of the hack, but somethings are already changed :D

The name:
Last but no least, I made up two names: Kyanite and Mercury. Both are minerals. However, I can't decide. I prefer Kyanite, but most prefer Mercury. :/ I can make two versions, but that's time consuming. :O What name do you like better?

Wow, I like the look of your mapping. I might give this a go later on. Looks like you're pretty good at scripting too. Seems like you're quite a creative person. I'll be keeping my eye on this hack for a while.

 

[Disturbed]

The scripts look wonderful so far! The maps look quite decent too! It looks like a well balanced hack, and I may consider playing this in the future. Great job so far.

 

[deliriouspurple]

The script is great, this is a good job, I'm gonna played it someday, but so Good job.
Well I prefer this game as Kyanite!

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

This looks awesome and so do the scripts!
Good luck!

A small update: (again, but it got deleted)
It isn't much, but I couldn't hack much this week.

Waterfall Ruin is a small route in the Shiku region. IT counts one trainer.

The entrance to the ruin, and the Waterfall.

In the ruin you'll find HM01 cut...

... and the Dome Fossil!

You'll need Cut to progress. I haven't mapped the map, so the connections look a bit weird. xD

 

[Vallander]

hey this looks pretty cool. keep it up!

 

[iTeruri]

Today was a great hacking day! With a total of more updates I can count, lets list them all.

Starter systeem has been revamped. (I did it too early in the morning)

Mystery Dungeon, anyone?

Some of the starters, there are 10 in total. Based on your answers you are assigned a group of 5 pokémon and your starter is selected randomly from those 5. By answering the questions differently, you can select your starter a bit more.
The questions aren't random, cause 230 lines of code is about to much for a simple starter system.

I mapped a new City, Kyanite City. It's big. I count about 45 houses. So think Golden Rod city. It, is ofcourse home to the big mart in Shiku and most woman in the city are going to talk about shopping there.

Pokémon researchers now live in one of the houses in Debu Town, it was a bit empty there.

For their research they need certain pokémon.

Oh, you don't have the pokémon with you.

Maybe It's wooper?

Yes it is Wooper!

As a reward for bringing the right pokémon with you, you get a item.
There is a total of 10 pokémon they need. Each time you get a hint about what pokémon they need next. It isn't that hard to guess what pokémon they need, but fining them could be an other story. Note that evolutions do not count as the same pokémon.
The items you get as a reward are all evolution bases item (the evolution stones, the everstone and the DeepSea items). However, the tenth item is secret (and is not evolution based)...
Eevee can't evolve into Espeon and Umbreon in Fr/Lg. As a solution I used a two trades (eevee > umbreon and eevee > espeon), as I taught evolution editor didn't work. Now I know the problem was you need the national dex in order to let them evolve, so now they evolve using the Sun and Moon stone.

Eevee has evolved into Espeon
MOON STONE was used on EEVEE
Eevee is evolved into Umbreon

Last three a url's cause they aren't that interesting.

In Kyanite City there will be some optional events. The events you do count for your optional events count, and based on that some things might or might not happen in the game. Only the optional events in Kyanite City count. Some are easy (just talking to the person) and some are harder (involving a pokémon battle).
One of those optional events is shown below:

Let me explain:
The script only wors once and as soon as the burglar comes to you you'll lose an item. If you win the fight you regain the item and the burglar will go to jail. If you lose the item is gone, for ever...
They will only steal items like potions and poké balls, so nothing important.

Just before the optional event above, I changed the Kyanite City map a bit and added more houses. :'D

And here are some useless screens of womans talking about the mart

As you can see, the last two screens show a man and not a woman.

Nice update.

I like this hack much.
Just keep up the good work

 

[deliriouspurple]

the update is quite good!
keep it up! nice job!

 

[Taisuru]

Wow, this is really nice!

Good luck! I look forward to seeing this finished!

 

[Vallander]

cool updates/sweet starter system

im also doing something different for my hack's starters. nothin too fancy just kind of story-related poke gift lol. but the ones you get depends on the very first you pick. lol just realized it doesnt really make sense unless the story's here :P

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

Nice. Do we get to know the other 6 starters?

 

[iTeruri]

Didn't do much last week. I've been working on a other hack just for fun.

Anyway, new gym. It's a ver simple 'maze' with 4 trainers in it. At the end of the maze is the BUG gym leader Duane.

If you beat the gym, you won't win the badge. You have to find in somewhere in the city (Kyanite City). The only clue you have is that it's somewhere there. :S

The Gym is a bug gym, but you won't find any Wurmple, Weedle or Caterpie there. However, you'll find bugs like Scizor, Shuckle and Anorith, those are bugs too afterall.

Nice update´s Teruri.
I can not wait to the next update:).

Then can we just skip the Gym instead?

 

[iTeruri]

No you can't skip the gym.


Update:

Yes a new update. I made a haunted house with some nice gimicks, you'll have to find out yourself what those are exactly. But what's up with the SECRET KEY and the evil team?
I have to add more 'fun' to the haunted house to make it more fun, or annoying if you don't get it.

And soon I will add new OW's and sprites.

(Beat the evil team and say no to thiefs!)


Edit:
Do you remember Cooper? His role is more important than your rival at the momement xD.

But on to the update!

Stupid no double posting rule, this thread is on the second page so no one will ever notice and if someone notices and it's probably after a month, so the thread will be closed.
And if you noticed this thread, just keep noticing it, I will edit this post with more updates as soon as they are available.

Update:

Justr for the few who notice this. Not many, but oh well.

Explenation:
- You need pikachu to race
- It's random your Pikachu's speed stat doesn't matter
- You can win Thunder Stone and Light Balls only
- I like it

Edit:
Fixed the "about to" thing, it's "about to start" now.

 

[Hoshiko Aki]

Great update! Can't wait to play the new betta

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

Hey nice updates, Teruri!
Good luck!

 

[Vrai]

Nice. ^^

You seem like a really good scripter, and you're dedicated. Those are both good. :)

I hope you get more posts, because you deserve it. :D
