FireRed hack: Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Advance

[RB11]

Hack of: Pokemon Firered
Language: English
Creator: RB11

Introduction
As you can see from the title, this is essentially a demake of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl for the Game Boy Advance. I've been working on this for a year or so now (very inconsistently), but it's coming on well. Now, let's get into it.

Storyline
...hopefully just the same as the original Diamond and Pearl

Features
The region of Sinnoh, in the classic GBA graphics
The DP soundtrack remixed in GBA soundfont.
Trainer/Pokemon sprites replaced.
PSS split and other features similar to this.
Indoor running, reusable TMs etc.
Other graphical enhancements.

Why don't you use Egg's repo?

Indoor running, reusable TMs etc.

Um, Broski, TMs didn't become reusable until Gen 5. They were still one use in Gen 4

Ah well, I've realised people request and prioritise a lot of features, so I thought I might as well include it.
The hack itself needs some variation as well, so that's why I included it.

A hack based around sinnoh huh, looking forward to this!

 

[Lunos]

Leaving the ugly houses, weird redisgned trees and the noticeably different style of certain buildings like Rowan's Lab or Sandgem's Pokémon Center aside, this looks interesting and I'll make sure to check it every once in a while.

It was about time someone actually tried to do a proper Demake, good luck dude!

I'm a huge fan of Sinnoh so I am excited for this. Can't wait to play.

Thanks man, hopefully I can actually progress with this one.

Thanks, thats exactly why made it - I'm a massive fan of sinnoh as well!

Thanks for the support! I'm sorry that the tiles don't look good (I thought the trees looked alright?), I must admit I'm a pretty bad graphic designer, but things like the trees and the houses are in the GBA classic style, and I guess it looks a bit weird in the official games as well. But anyway, thanks!

Don't let people put you down on the sprites, they look amazing considering this is a gen 4 demake, making it feel gen 3 while keeping the gen 4 isn't easy but the screenshots so far do it justice.

Can't wait to give this a go, is the pokedex going to follow D/P specifically or will it be Platinums for a more diverse dex?

 

[PkmnTrainerKonner]

Since reusable TM's are in the game is there any chance you could do B2/W2's repel system?

Thanks a lot, I know that the graphics aren't amazing but I wanted to keep it authentic - hopefully they should be bearable!
I'm still figuring out the pokedex, but I'm leaning towards a DP dex to make it true to the originals.
If I finish I might be able to release a platinum, just making little changes like that. We'll see.

Might end up doing it, we'll see. Its always good to add some different features, so I'll keep that in mind!

Small update:

Player's room isn't finished but it's a start!

Good job

 

[RB11]

Scripting is starting !

 

[felynari]

Another RH I need to check every week! Keep up the good updates man.

 

[RB11]

Hi everyone. Unfortunately, my computer files were corrupted a a few weeks back, so I lost a a lot of progress. However, I'm starting rebuilding and hopefully I can keep going with this hack!
I really don't want to abandon it, so let's hope that my scripting skills aren't too terrible :)

 

[Prime94]

That really sucks, but don't give up. This is the only Sinnoh demake still currently being updated, it would mean alot to the community to finally get gen 4 on the gba.

 

[Vytron]

Looks good!
I am working on a gba demake too.A demake of Pokemon Black&white.
You can check it out later if you want to.

No news? I liked this hack so much, I even created a cover.

That's amazing! I've hadmajor exams last 2 weeks, on top of losing the main files for the hack, so progress has been slow. I'm going to try my very hardest to update, and hopefully progress can resume!
