Gold hack: Pokemon Aurum Version

This looks really cool. The story is unique as well. Will some of the newer dragon pokemon be in it as well? Either way, it looks great. Goodluck!
 
I really like how this hack is turning out and it's great to see and hear more than you'll just be playing as Lance in the old times (which is something others here didn't know about).

P.S
The maps made with expanded block data seem to make a huge difference. Perhaps I should also start using Tauwasser's Tileset Extension patch but have been just too lazy to work it out.
 
Awesome project man ! I'm looking forward to play it !
But i would like to ask a couple of things ..Why Kanto isn't available ? And since there are no marts you have to have lots of potions and repels in the wild
 
But why removing pokeballs? Also the apricorn balls are nearly frustrating to make.
 
If its a post-Johto feel, then I understand your decision to not include newer gen dragons. But still...A hack mostly involving dragons...Idk, I feel some of the newer dragons Need to be in it. If anything, at least explore the Gible Family, Axew Family, and the Deino Family. Maybe Druddigon as well. If you still feel they don't deserve a spot, then its okay. But at least look them over ya know? Goodluck! I'll be checking in on this from time to time.

I definitely recommend using the tileset extension as it is very straightforward (once you understand the data, and being the pioneer you are I am sure you can!). It allows for extra blocks [suitable for that one before-forest route in Dark Future in which you can have a grassy entrance].

Ah, I do know how the patch works but haven't patched to the rom mainly because:
1) I've been lazy (I've been concentrating on storyline and events and not at mapping really).
2) There is always a possibility I figure I need to use that part of VRAM for something else because it does use a whole VRAM bank.

Anyway what I really should do though would be making all tilesets support 0x80 blocks for now and add another 0x80 with the patch if needed later.

To not get completely off-topic here, fixing the way how when Surf is used, you're being moved one step into the facing direction can be easily fixed through scripting (no asm coding needed). I don't know why you wanted to do anything about it but you can locate the "surf-script" in rom bank 0x3 by searching for the 16 [2-byte pointer] [Bank] to "[RAM address] used Surf!".

Woah, that was a quick reply. I'm taking a liking to sticking around in this forum although I mainly check my own thread..

Think about it in the plot context: why should Dragon trainers be supplied with PokeBalls? That means you can catch a Caterpie, a Wobbufet, and Geodude. I wanted to deviate a slight bit from the normal gameplay.

I included Apricorns because I figured some players might desperately want a valid way to get PokeBalls. Of course you can always use Gameshark codes to get PokeBalls.

I'm building this hack's Pokemon-owning structure around retrieving them as prizes and gifts. People like Elm and Bill will give you select Pokemon, and you will able to get some in the Goldenrod Casino. Given these choices, it will be your decision to stick with a Gyarados or a Seaking, or maybe even both.

The only reason that i use pokeballs is to catch pokemon that i like and to strengthen up my team .
If you're not at adding kanto why not adding new areas to johto ?
@Dark rising girl I think that it's a prequel to g/s/c rather than post johto game because ( i think ) the player is lance and the game describes how lance became a dragon master
But i don't disagree adding new dragons from genIII genIV and genV
 
For the new pokemon stuff.. it's your own decision however if you consider adding new ones you should stick with dragon types .
From what i've read the routes are redesigned right ?
 
cool ! I'm waiting to see it in action ! Though ( another QUESTION ) will there be a town map or something since you removed ( or not ?) pokegear ?
Also will you rescript everything ?
 
oh ok ! Cool ! The starter will be a dratini ?
 
Cool :) But the dratini family was the only dragon type until genII ? Isn't gyarados a dragon type ?
 
I can't wait to play this on my youtube channel! It has my name in it!
 
I think you should have encounters with dragon type, or dragon related pokemon similar like how you battle Lugia, Oh-Ho, Lapras, or snorlax and even if you don't have pokeballs or anything you keep the pokemon after defeating it? Maybe a pokeball, but it's in your key items or something along the lines of that? Thoughts?

Personally, I feel that you should stick with the 'original' 251 Pokemon - from the time before GSC and RBY. As you said in one of your posts, that way you won't have to explain their 'disappearance' from the region afterwards. One thing's for sure - this hack is certainly looking interesting!!

I'm guessing that you are asking for Event Pokemon that can be somehow caught.
That seems to be a better idea than random NPC's handing out Pokemon.
I think I will run with your suggestion with some Pokemon (as Charmander obviously should be given by Elm).

As for the Key Item Balls, I'll have to think out the details when I'm actually working on that part of the game. Right now I'm doing some easy editing with map tools while learning some rudimentary Assembly.. I've been so busy and heaped with stuff that I didn't have time to work on the hack until today.

Yeah that's what I meant, I'm horrible in scripting, I knew there was a word for it but couldn't place my finger on it.
Anyways a userbar for this hack would be awesome, I would so have it in my signature. I'd make you one but I'm horrible at that too.
