FireRed hack: Pokémon StormySky

[Roxie Mika]

​

A quest on a new island chain awaits you, Trainer!
A Skyline Park Production​

This hack bases itself on the foundation of Pokémon Emerald. At some points it's a tad inflexible but it can be made to work.

Storyline
because what's an RPG with no story?
The story of StormySky is a simple one. A trainer living on the first of five islands seperate from the Sevii archipelago has just had their 10th birthday, and meets with the local Pokemon Professor, Prof. Birch (who has a "vacation" lab on One Island) to choose a Pokemon & become an official Trainer. Our protagonist hears about Team Magma and Aqua's evildoings in Hoenn and the Rocket mafia in Kanto and Johto and wants to help put a stop to it. So, setting out with their partner Pokemon in tow, this new Trainer's adventure begins!

Features
what's in, what's out, what's cheese on rye

• New music: Music will be added from a variety of games, using the Sappy program.
• New graphics will be inserted at certain points to liven things up!
• Sprite upgrading: An attempt will be made to update Pokemon in-battle sprites to the 4th Generation.
• Different regions: You, the player, will be able to travel to places in Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands.
• When more details are determined they'll be added to this post. Watch this space!

Screenshots
hack threads and screenshots go together like PB and J

Known Glitches
last but never least

• Main Character's Ever-Changing Color (will be fixed, not shown in screenshots)
• Slight Map/Pallete Inconsistencies (definately will be fixed)

The one-man StormySky team would like to hear your opinions and requests! Nothing too extravagant though, please...

I'm currently not looking for beta-testers, so please don't ask. ^^;

Nice to see a new hack on the Showcase. Keep working on the palettes, they'll turn out better, mapping too. Good luck to man, work hard.:20:

 

[Liquinn]

Wow man, nice tiles. Nice storylines and so on ^_^

Cant wait to see more of this hack, hope this goes well the way you want it to.

Got any other ideas in mind?

Thanks. ~

looks good so far , 1 small sugestion tho give the character a darker outline arounr the top of his hat 'cos it looks a bit translusent from here , but maybe its only me? anyway good luk n cant wait for more screenies :D

Well, you don't need to worry about people asking to be beta testers, as it is against the rules.

Anyway, looks OK so far, but you should add more to the maps and Two Island should have its own shape, rather than the Petalburg City shape.

EDIT: Also, the last screenshot has an error. The top of the tree is messed up.

Im liking it. Judging by the screenys this will be an okay hack

 

[Goku Goku]

LOL Finally a new hack! :D Well, I hope this one lasts to it's completion, and hope to see mroe screenshots. Interesting to see what this hack can show us. Keep it up, and don't give up! ;)

 

[furrypaws16]

Sweet...sounds cool! :)

Yeah, two island should have its own shape. Maybe you could get to this two island by a bridge?

 

[slayeryu12]

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone!

Don Patch: Yeah, I'm already working on giving Two Island it's own layout. And I caught onto the tree-top thing a few moments before I saw your post, thanks though ^^;

furrypaws16: Actually, Route 1 is a sort of "land bridge" between the first and second islands.

looks good so far , 1 small sugestion tho give the character a darker outline arounr the top of his hat 'cos it looks a bit translusent from here , but maybe its only me? anyway good luk n cant wait for more screenies :D

zak: I did notice that, and I am going to take a shot at fixing it.

I like the storyline and the use of new graphics. I hope the hack gets completed.

Great tiles you have there. Is the hack on the sevill islands.

ash2000: No, the hack starts out on a seperate chain of five islands from the Sevii archipelago. I forgot to state this in the first post. *edits*

Also, I want to say that as of yet I haven't edited any tiles, just palletes and maps.

So they're not part of the Sevii Islands, but an island of their own? Well, sounds interesting. Will the Sevii Islands be included anyways? Well, hope to see more screens, and good luck! ;)

Yes, it would be nice to see the Sevii Islands on Emerald... but... Isn't Sotomura doing it also? Hmmm... Well, probably new islands to the Sevii Archipielago would be cool, with maybe some islands from the original part.

Well, good luck to you. I think it would be better if you removed some of the screenshots that have different palettes, just leave the ones you'll be using (and the screenie of Two Island that looks like Petalburg, because definitely that'll not be part of the game, I think)

zel: Sotomura's Pokémon the Shining Shores is an extension of the Sevii Islands, not a remake of them (as far as I know... ^^;). My hack starts out on a seperate island chain from Sevii, but may include some of the Sevii Isles as well (remember that Team Rocket had a base on Five Island in FRLG? :p)

On your second point, I think I will do that, but the Petalburg/2 Island one stays until I can make a good map to go in its place... :|

Nice hack going on here. The only thing I don't like is the main character's blue clothes (they're a little hard to see when you go near the water) and that you used R/S/E's tiles, mostly because they look somewhat ugly to me :P

Anyways, good luck with this hack, and I hope you extreme luck in your hacking prowess. (Didn't I see you in one of those interview things with Sotomura, the perv, and you did Wario? :P Wario's too fat and lazy to sponsor you)

Oh, and before I forget:

hey can i be a beta tester i suck at pkmn games thank you

Just kidding. I don't like being beta tester :D

Kiyoshikane: Heh, thanks! About the water, and the main character's coloring, I'm contemplating changing both... The water would be a brighter sort of color, and the main character's colors would make him more visible (he'd "blend" less with the BG). I'm also thinking of changing some tiles from R/S's look, now that I know how to edit the animations of tiles...

About the interview, yes, that was me. I'm usually as "Aurakitsune" on the IRC chatroom where the interviews are held (which is this forum's chat-room, actually). And about the Wario thing, I was actually sponsoring him, for his 2008 election. You had it the other way around. :P

And on that last note...

NO! D8<

That's a nice hero minisprite. It looks very nice. What other features besides the ones you have up are you going to put in? I am just curious.:D

 

[Random]

Nice hack, is that player sprite supposed to be from the FR character in Emerald(when you trade), anyways the tiles blend nicely. Keep up the excellent work.
