Ruby hack: Pokémon: Next Generation

[Martin Yiu]

Pokémon: Next Generation (UPDATED)

.:: Hack Name ::.
Pokémon: Next Generation

.:: Hack of ::.
Pokémon Fire Red (BPRE)


.:: Introduction ::.
This is my second hack, that first wasn't good and I think this will be better. I'm making it first time with FR, because of better graphics.
I started to think about new region after .romhackersweekly Issue 9, but I didn't decided yet. So, view this post often for news.
This hack received the .rhw 9 über award.

.:: Story ::.
You are about to enter the region. Prof. OAK asks, what's your name and if you're boy or girl, then, old friend speaks to you, but OAK forgot his name, so you have to help him :) . Then you wake up from your dream (funny, isn't it?) and you go to the OAK's lab to get your POKéMON. First advenure starts in Pallet forest, that wasn't here before, as mom told you.
It hides big surprise, but you don't get it so soon. Then you go back to the town and search for Prof. You go to the route, but he suddenly appears and calls you into his LAB. There you meet your old friend, and you both take your first POKéMON. You will battle with your old friend. There your adventure begins....


.:: Features ::.
* Map changes
* Bonus places
* New GYM system
* EEVEE as starter
* Changing some sprites of POKéMON, taking from other games.
* Maybe new region

.:: Team ::.
Mappers: me
Spriters: me
Scripts: Christos, Perappu
Helpers (or they want to be): Micklo

.::Beta testing::.

Certified testers:
Christos
Perrapu

.::Beta 2 release date::.
For testers: in next two weeks from 28th May.
For whole PC: week after testing.

.:: Screenshots ::.

Awesome Hack! I just played the BETA, and i loved it! I could be a BETA Tester if you want. I did find a few Bugs. The worst one is when i talk to the guy who teaches Dream Eater to one of your Pokémon. After i finnish talking to him, i turn into a random person and the main character just stands in the place where the man was.

 

[Martin Yiu]

Yeah, I can't solve it.... That bug is nightmare.
OK, when I'll prepare cities with halls and league (hope it'll be short time),
you can test it as first. And if you know about ANYONE, who can solve that problem, please tell him I need help. And I noticed that something is wrong in the Pallet...

BTW thanks for playing beta.

 

[AquaLeaderMatt]

It's ok. I should be thanking you for maing it! I'm not sure i know anybody that could fix it, but you could try asking Dark_E. He's a fair Hacker. I think it's awesome that you have two leaders, but ow about putting a little bit more in the Gym? And you could make Misty's starmie lv10, and Brock's Onix lv10. I think that would make the Hack even better, if possible!

 

[Martin Yiu]

Fine. Thanks for ideas. BTW, you will find all legendaries in Warp chambers, placed all over region.

 

[AquaLeaderMatt]

Awesome, Is every Gym going to have two leaders? That will be mad. Could i be a gym leader, or an Elite Four? I've got the perfect idea for a Rock/Ground Type Trainer.

 

[Martin Yiu]

OK, choose name (hitme2k5 is bit weird), your POKéMON (max. 4, level range 42 - 48) and make your sprite. If you don't want to make sprite, I will make random one. Because you want to be rock/ground trainer, you will replace Bruno in E4 - leaders of gyms will be same.

EDIT: Next two lucky boys/girls who will ask as first two, have place in E4 - you will need to post things written above.

I will be in E4 too:
Name: Watson Jr.
Type: Normal
Number of Pokémon: 2
Pokémon: Pidgeot, Eevee
Sprite: working on

 

[~Archer~]

I like this hack. it has a bright future.
i really like the idea of Pallet Town forest and two Gym leaders at once.

Oh i can join the E4 thats nice.
Well:

Name: Yoh
Type: Psychic
My pokemon:
Espeon Lvl. 42
Kadabra Lvl. 43
Kadabra Lvl. 43
Gardevoir Lvl. 45

if Espeon and Gardevoir are a no go they can be replaced with Mr. Mime and Alakazam.
I don't have a sprite plus i would like to see what random sprite you will choose to use.

 

[Alpham-A-Epsilons]

May I join the elite four

Name: Vincent
Type: Fire
Chairzard 46
Magmar 43
Arcanine 45
Rapidash 44
Flareon 44

 

[Martin Yiu]

OK, is now complete, Mimi Fan, you want sprite by me too?
Just wait, I will complete Strike's sprite.

When I'll complete sprites and putting E4 trainers into game, you all can give me your random trainer requests, but only with sprites.
EDIT

Strike, here is your sprite.

That my is down there

 

[Alpham-A-Epsilons]

Yeah you can make my sprite

What do you mean by trainer requests like make a new trainers you battle like Aroma Lady,Hiker, and Swimmer

 

[AquaLeaderMatt]

OK, let's see......
Trainer name: Elite 4 Matt
Pokémon:
Golem lv 42
Aggron lv 44
Rhydon lv 46
Tyranitar lv 48

Now that is just the best team ever! I'm hopeless at sprites so i will let you make them.

If i'm allowed two more then my team will be:
Golem lv 40
Aggron lv 42
Nidoking lv 44
Nidoqueen lv 46
Rhydon lv 48
Tyranitar lv 50

 

[Martin Yiu]

Fine, so I'll make Mimi Fan's sprite and from now... ...you can ask for random trainer in game, but need name and sprite. No Pokémon changes, sorry.

Yes, new type of trainer, used just once in a game, can be more (I hope).

You want two more Pokémon? Sorry, but I want to make levels and number of POKéMON used - I will be last and have one more - like in GSC, what makes game easier, that means trainer won't be so frustrated by hard E4.

 

[~Archer~]

I like that sprite, it matches with the idea i had in my head.

 

[Martin Yiu]

Fine. BTW, you wanted it look like character from Shaman King?

 

[Vipershark]

Great hack! As always, I turned on the walk thru walls code to experiment, and I found some good maps. Brock's gym is still the same. I didnt make it to cerulean. Viridian forest is in pallet town so you have to walk thru walls to get there. The unknown dungeon is Mystic cave too...

I can help out with the game. I can beta test, do mapping, and edit text.

I wanna be in E4.

Name: Stephen
Type:Water/Ice, I guess
Pokémon:
Cloyster lv 42
Feraligatr lv 44
Dewgong lv 46
Vaporeon lv 48

 

[~Archer~]

Nah, Why would i wanted it to look like a character from Shaman king?
( looks at theme ) oh right.

but seriously, I never really had an idea what it should look like. But that sprite really says "what do you want from me?" and i like that.

 

[Alpham-A-Epsilons]

Hey Watson I can't play it it says unsupported file type

 

[AquaLeaderMatt]

It's an IPS Patch, have you patched it to Pokémon FireRed?
