Blue hack: Pokémon Redcurrant & Blueberry

[TheBlueZangoose]

I've decided to try and catalogue my adventure through this mod in my normal way: With a single 'Mon line. In this case I've decided on a good fallback: Nidoqueen/King.

~BROCK~

Spoiler:

Before Brock it's worth noting the initial rival fight is unwinnable if you choose Bulbasaur as Charmander has a 60+STAB Fire move and you have what amounts to Leech Life.

Getting a Nido was easy enough, but in Blueberry I could only seem to find Nidoran Females, so the Queen of 'Mons was chosen for me instead of by me.

That being said, the Brock fight itself wrecked me. I had forgotten that the Nidos were weak to Ground, but in the end, some level grinding got me through the fight.

~MISTY~

Spoiler:

The road to Misty was rather easy. Mount Moon gave me the Moonstone I'd need to make my Nido a Queen, and so I bit that apple, initially believing I was dooming my new Queen to a life of few moves before TMs come into play. I was wrong. Queenie's new found strength led her to a crushing victory against Misty's psychic sea stars.

~SURGE~

Spoiler:

Oh, boy, where to begin. The second major Rival fight was a tiny bit touch and go, but ended with Earth Spikes killing his Charmander with ease, and again aboard the SS Anne, only this time Queenie had a new toy in her hands: Crush. I knew after reading your description about changing everything that Body Slam wouldn't remain the same, but I didn't expect a 100 power move this early.

Needless to say Surge and his trashcans didn't stand a chance.

I'll keep going tomorrow after work. Here's hoping my Nidoqueen has what it takes to go the distance.

We're cheering for Queenie! I love your breakdown, can't wait to hear more! Crush might be a touch on the powerful side...but hey, it isn't STAB, so you'll have stronger moves at some point later. Hmhmmmmmm.

I'd include Erika in here now, if I didn't crash hard trying to sort through my TMs in Celadon by trying to use TM 13 to learn what it is.

I'm sorry about this! I'm aware of this bug and will be attempting to fix it. I'll upload new patches if I succeed.

My one wish is tha this mod would be compatible wi the Red Colour mod.

 

[TheBlueZangoose]

Thank you for the hard work you do TheBlueZangoose.

You're welcome! I love being able to improve something someone is enjoying ^_^

My one wish is tha this mod would be compatible wi the Red Colour mod.

That would be so much work! There's always Super Game Boy mode :p

Hey BlueZangoose,

Just wanted to say that I'm pretty interested in your hack. I enjoy the simplistic nature of it (change the moves and add a cheat house). I even took quite a bit of time to craft a team for this hack (like a few hours if you get what I mean). Here's what I'm thinking of once I get to the E4:

Nidoking
Tentacruel
Tauros
Exeggutor
Vaporeon
Aerodactyl

As you can see, my team is focused on the usage of "Parasting" to paralyze opponents and take advantage of the opposing team's paralyzed mons, a common strategy in Gen 1. I know I'm overdoing it, but that's just how I like to make my teams; diet meta style.

I'm playing Factory Adventure now, but once I'm finished with my current run (I'm over 11 hour into that game, so I'll be done soon), I'm going to give this game a go with 80C's run patch since I cannot stand playing a game W/O run sometimes. Anyway, good night and a Happy New Year! :-)

P.S. I would give you advice on what's good and what's bad move-wise, but hearing how you probably won't make another hack or change this one too much because of real life commitments, I won't.

Oh, I'm making other hacks, and tweaking this hack's balance is easy, so those are both very much on the table. I'm just not making a Gen 2 hack.

Good luck with your team! I'm especially interested in Aerodactyl, since he should - in theory - be SO much better; he was a huge victim of awful movesets.

I fel that was the case.
Sorry... and thank you, all the same.

Look on the bright side, you can use the 80C Run Patch on it. I'll taking fast gameplay over graphics any day!

I found a bug. I got the S.S ticket from Bill (I have 2 badges) and battled Team Rocket grunt, who robbed the house in Cerulian City. After the Battle with that grunt, he wanted to give an HM 06, then the hack bugged out

That HM06 is dig. It's been modified to be an HM move because TheBlueZangoose wanted all field moves to be HM moves with 50 base power (like Tackle in Gen 5 & 6).

I don't know what you mean by "...the hack bugged out" though.

Thank you for the report. I'll look into it ASAP. Is there any more detail you could provide?

 

[shadowsandpixels]

This is a very cool concept! Are all the Pokémon in Gen 1 in these hacks, or is it just the changed movesets and other stuff you added?

No Pokémon changes were made, so the Red-available Pokémon are in Red, and Blue-available Pokémon are in Blue.

Add Pokémon Redcurrant & Blueberry to your Requested Setlist on RetroAchievements to make it possible. :)

Nice rom hack.

Just don't want to come off as rude, but why is this in the main Rom Hacks section and not in the Sideshow Showcase?

I don't know what that is. Posting my romhack here is my first experience in this forum, I don't really know how it's organised.

~BROCK~

Spoiler:

Before Brock it's worth noting the initial rival fight is unwinnable if you choose Bulbasaur as Charmander has a 60+STAB Fire move and you have what amounts to Leech Life.

Started playing this game a few days ago as well.

Spoiler:

If you start with Squirtle, the 1st rival fight is unwinnable as well because the rival's Bulbasaur will have a Grass move.

And speaking of Brock, if you fight the trainer in his gym, his Diglett knows a grass move, which trounces Squirtle.

 

[ObnoxiousOboe]

I just started the hack. It looks like the whole game is the same as the original. I'm guessing all the maps are unchanged?

Digletts are sneaky buggers!

First rival fight is always unwinnable, barring insane luck.

Everything except Route 1 is identical!

 

[TheBlueZangoose]

After playing through this, I can honestly say, for playing the same game again, it felt like a fresh experience.

You did a splendid job at taking the original game, and adding some new flavors to it.

Thank you! Goal achieved ^_^
