    Yep, I'm starting another hack. I still don't know a lot though, so don't expect too much.

    [size=+2]Pokemon Black Shadow[/size]
    [size=+1]Hack of Ruby(U)[/size]

    Story:
    Your father has been offered a position in the Elite Four in the Sho Region, and he accepts. This forces your family to move to the entirely new region. You have just arrived at your new home in Emerald Town, and you've recently turned 13. In the Sho Region, you must be at least 13 years of age to become a Pokemon trainer. So you talk to Emerald Town's Pokemon Professor, Prof. Pine. He asks you to choose 1 of 3 Pokemon to use in a wild Pokemon battle. If you win, he gives you the Pokemon used, as well as a Pokedex. He then asks you to go meet his son, Ken, who has recently started his Pokemon journey. As soon as you do meet him in the next town, he challenges you to a battle and quickly becomes your rival. Throughout your travels, you run into the mysterious Nova Organization multiple times. All you know about them is that they plan to reshape the Sho Region, and their intentions are bad...

    Features:

    - The new and diverse Sho Region
    - Region includes Pokemon from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.
    - All Pokemon obtainable
    - New tiles
    - Many different areas, including mountain, volcano, desert, swamp, and snowy areas.
    - Headbutt system from G/S/C returns, replacing wild Pokemon found by Rock Smash
    - A new team called the Nova Organization
    - New towns, gyms, and rivals (obviously)
    - Not just anyone with all 8 badges can face the Elite Four. You must go through a tournament first.

    Progress:
    Finished Emerald Town, Route 301, Hillside Town, Hikari Hills, and Route 302. Currently mapping Centra City.

    Credit for the tree tiles goes to whoever contributed the custom sinnoh tiles in the Pokemon DP section of The Spriter's Resource. (There was no name)

    So let me hear your comments, positive or negative, and suggestions. I may need scripter(s), someone to make support bars, and eventually beta tester(s), so if anyone wants to help (with anything really. It doesn't have to be anything I mentioned above), just PM me. I would really appreciate it.

    it sounds good i love the story well the features are just great well i wish you the best of luck on this hack.
     
    sweet. a tournament. i will WIN! when this comes out. hehehehehe.
     
    Hey I had the name pokemon Shadows for a while now and I have had it announced for a while now too. Could you change your title?
     
    Sorry, I had no idea anyone else was using this for a title. I don't mind changing it if it matters that much to you.

    his hack isnt pokemon shadow its pokemon black shadow as it says on the thread anyway you need a mod to change the name for you anyway good luck
     
    He just changed that.... Well anyways, thanks for changing that. That was nice of you.
     
    I've updated the first post with some screenshots and maps. I'm hoping to finish the scripts for those areas soon.
     
    Hey, you can have the name back, cause im doing something different now, okay?
     
    Actually, Kevin, I may need someone to resize DP battle sprites to fit the 64x64 limit. I just don't know which DP Pokemon I want in the game. (for sure the evos/prevos) If you want to help PM me an example of your work, and I'll see if you can help. ^_^ I guess that basically goes for anyone who wants to contribute.

    And about the tiles, I forgot to mention in the first post that I got the trees from the Spriter's Resource. And the grass tiles were custom made by me, as well as the palette.

    And I'll keep the name Black Shadow, since I already inserted the title into the game.

    BTW, I think this thread now fits the requirements for the Hacks Showcase. You think I should PM a mod and ask to move it? (and change the name)

    Sorry i was too late.... But keep only the new pre and evos cause they were the only good things about Sinnoh. But thats just my opinion....
     
    Nice hack, I like the grass tiles and the sprite, anyway the name Prof. Pine is already being used in Pokémon Green Diamond which is riolu 9's hack. Good luck anyway.
     
    Thanks for the comments, everyone! :)

    I've added more screenshots. And lukeh, as you can tell by them, I'm using more than just the evos/prevos in the hack, obviously the starters and Darkrai.

    Silver Riolu: I guess it doesn't matter if the Professors have the same name. I'm sure there are plenty of other hacks that use that name.
     
    Just double-posting for an update.

    I've added more screenshots. They include the first encounter with your rival, Ken. And Hikari Hills will play an important part in the story later on.
    I've pretty much finished scripting and mapping for the first three areas. I'm planning on release the first beta once I finish work on the next city and the route after it. The beta most likely WON'T have the National Dex, since I don't think anyone knows the flag for it yet.

    BTW, I'm still in need of beta testers, support bars, probably some scripters, and probably some spriters, so if someone wants to be a part of this hack, it would be a great help.

    I might be able to beta test.
    This hack looks great so far.
    I wish I could help with anything else, but I'm horrible at spriting scripting, etc.
