    Story
    Team Void is plotting to take over the world, by turning all of the Pokémon into dark versions of themselves, and you have to stop them. You start out in the usual Pokémon Diamond way, going to the lake to get your first Pokémon, but instead of a Starly attacking you, it's a Darkrai clone, which absorbs your starter. When the starter comes back out, it's a dark Pikachu, but hasn't fully gone "dark", it isn't evil yet, due to Team Void still perfecting their transformation technology.

    This is the first Diamond hack i've seen.
    Good Luck on this. :]

    EDIT: Did you ever think of using the Shadow Pokemon coloring for Pikachu?

    Hah, I re read the story and it says Pikachu hasn't fully gone dark yet.

    Maybe one ear is normal colored? ahah :p

    I'm going to try and edit everything, so it'll be huge when it's done.

    I didn't even know there was a shadow colouring :P
    But I just want to colour all the sprites myself, it won't be that many that are dark.
     
    Seems pretty good. Haven't seen some of these tools but that makes this game seem better. If you need a tester, hit me up.
     
    this is a nice idea
    but i have one quistion..
    it says

    All legendaries will be available as wild encounters

    will it be like a normal
    wild encounter just like
    normal pokemons? or
    will it be a special
    wild encounter just like
    latios and latias on pokemon
    R/S/E?​

    It will be normal, I'm not sure if you can make it so they move around the map.
     
    The lengednairs at the begining

    dont you think taht will sort of spoil the fun of trying to catch them properly and only there being pone of each ??? love the idea though would love to beta test if you are going to release if not sorry i dont read the info coz im only 12

    heres a suggeistion ( cant spell :P ) what if the legendaiars could only be caught after the E4 apart from ones you can already get before them and each time you beat the E4 there is another one of them there.

    i dont know if this is possible if not oh well, BTW good luck would love to try this
     
    Nice game! You should make two hacks of emerald and make them where on one theres a terrible drought (Groudon) and on the other theres a huge flood (Kyogre). Then you have to stop the disaster with Rayquaza. That might not be a great storyline though lol. But anyway nice game!

    no no no...
    what i mean is..
    could you encounter
    a legendary pokemon
    one time? or can
    you encounter the
    same legendary
    multiple times?​

    Oh, yeah you will be able to encounter them more than once.
    I don't think you can stop that though.
     
    Very nice looking hack so far. Very easy to patch as well, which is always a good thing. I would (personally) cut down on the sarcastic/dark humor in the beginning since I think it would turn some people off. I like how you changed the news story at the start to say black Rayquaza instead of red Gyarados. When you click the Wii, it says PS3. First off, Nintendo's gonna be so pissed at that. Second, you might want to change the sprite for it if you're going to make it a PS3. Third, the mothers text...wow. Funny yes. Wrong on may levels? Yes. The whole "BOUNCE FOOL" was kinda funny too. Also, I think you should give some reasoning as to why exactly the Rival thinks a legendary dragon like Rayquaza would just show up at a lake. You're going to need to alter the beginning sequence where you pick a pokemon too. No matter which you pick, it sounds like Pikachu. If it's possible, just put one pokeball in the case, it contains the Dark Pikachu, then have the rival find a second one hidden in a secret compartment. And what is up with the wild Dusknoir fight right at the start? I mean, it was kind of cool, but really just unexpected. I really like Dark Pikachu starting out with Shadow Ball. That was extremely cool. Though, the game did freeze on me quite a bit. The first time was after I selected my name, and the second was after the Dusknoir battle. Also, why does Rowan say I made the Pikachu evolve? That's as far as I got before I turned off the no$gba. Looks good so far.

    Thanks for the help, but some of the things, like the pokeballs at the start, can't be changed. I'm not sure why it freezes up though...
