Hello, everyone. I have just made a small change to Pokemon HOF. With the help of Wichu(Scripts) and Itachi Senpai(sprites), I was able to create a unique feature for Pinkan Island, thus you'll be able to find pink Pokemon on this specific area from now on! Unlike Shiny Pokemon, Pink Pokemon's only habitat is Pinkan Island. Some of the Pokemon will remain pink after evolution, while others will lose their pink color(funny isn't it?) An example of Pink Venonat is shown below:
That Butterfree is the best thing you've done so far. The only thing you should adjust is the shading on the pink. You should also recolor its wings. I suggest using the wings from the original shiny. Here's a picture you can use as a guide:
I do not know if I am lucky or if it is a bug but in my first half hour of playing 2 out of the 3 rattatas I battled where shiny.
1 out of the 3 pidgeys I battled were shiny.
You don't have to use him, I just love Numel! I just did it as a minor contribution.
P.S. if you do use him, maybe he could be a rarity in a kinda rough area along with common Rhyhorns? That would make sense.
P.P.S. BRB with a Camerupt pinker
Here is Camerupt, and since the rocks on his back are usually brown, I made two different versions, one depicting him with redish rocks, and one with the traditional brown.
Nice, thanks for the input. I think tomorrow I will try a small Pink water line.
Which one would be best of these three:
Seel-Dewgong
Krabby-Kingler
Wailmer-Wailord
Im guessing that Krabby is the ideal choice, as I envision the islands waters to be shallow(eliminates Wailmer), and warm (eliminates Seel) Plus, it is most likely a beach, so Krabby fits right in.
Dunno, a Pink Caterpie/Weedle, Sure I saw one of them in the Anime :) Also since there are pink Butterfree's I guess they'd evolove from Pink Caterpie's :)
Horsea: YES! Will do!
Clamperl: Isn't the pearl itself naturally pink?
Corphish: Um........unsure
Goldeen: Good idea, but it seems a bit bland, as golden is already red/white. Not really too much of a change when you think about it.
My idea:
Staryu-Starmie
Those would look nice......
P.S. The Yanma/Aipom family should only have the first stage pokemon, as sending Ambipom and Yanmega into a wild place would defeat the purpose of leveling them up in the first place.
made a pink/purple tropius but i'm not yet allowed to post it here is seems (this being my 2nd post)
o well maybe later ill post it
anyways gl with the game it looks great :)

Have you ever wanted to play a Pokémon game that encompasses everything you love about Pokémon and the Pokémon universe? What if there was such a game? And it was being made right now!?
Pokémon Hall of Fame is the brainchild of several Pokémon fans with only one goal in mind: to create the ultimate Pokémon gaming experience. The project will follow the story of Ash, the protagonist from Kanto, Pallet town to follow his dream of becoming the champion and Pokemon master. Ash will begin his journey in Kanto, where he will have to college badges, battle against trainers, evil organizations and eventually reach Indigo Conference. The tour of Orange Islands starts after he wins the champ of Kanto League and explore an unknown region to the south of Kanto. Pokemon HOF will include elements from existing Video games, Anime and Manga, but also with its own features.
This game is made with RPG Maker XP and Pokémon Essentials.
-------------------------------------------------
II. Story
For simplicity, the story will be separated into several chapters.
Chapter 1: Gotta Catch 'em All! [Completed]
You will follow Ash Ketchum's quest to become the world's greatest Pokémon master in its early days. You will be introduced to the fundamentals of Pokémon game playing and the many features of Pokémon Hall of Fame. Many adventures and rivals await you in your first quest, which leads to the Pokémon league. You will complete this chapter by competing in the annual Kanto Regional Championships of the International Pokémon League, held once a year in the Indigo Plateau.
Chapter 2: Citrus Paradise [Work in Progress]
After being awarded the honors of being Kanto Regional Champion, Ash Ketchum journeys out to seek the Elite Four of Kanto, with whom he desires a challenge. However, he is forced to deal with a minor setback in the Viridian Forest before he is able to get his hands on a ticket to the S.A. Monica, a cruise ship that travels from Kanto to the Orange Archipelago. What new adventures await Ash in this tropical paradise? You have to play to find out! ;)
Chapter 3: The Ultimate Clone [Coming Soon]
After defeating the Elite Four and rescuing the legendary birds from the hands of a dangerous collector, Ash is called on to deal with a powerful force which has no equals!
-------------------------------------------------
III. Characters

Ritchie: A young trainer who resembles Ash in many aspects. He's more like a friend to Ash rather than rivals, even though their Pokemon battle with each other fiercely.

Although we are thankful for all the help we have received, we still need a whole lot more help for all the things we're trying to do. That's why, if you have ANYTHING at all to contribute, we would love to have it from you. Also, if you see anything in our game that you like, let us know and we can negotiate a trade.
Here is a list of available jobs. Keep in mind that some of these jobs are unique to our game.
Spoiler:
Anime Watcher (2-3 positions open): Our game includes a lot of stuff from the Anime, so we need someone to watch the episodes and help plan things out for us (like stories with the side characters, rough sketches of geographical points of interest, some rough maps of overworlds).
Movie Watcher (1-2 positions open): Basically the same as before, but focusing on movies and special episodes like The Return of Mewtwo and Legend of the Thunder.
Manga Reader (2-3 positions open): Our game includes a lot of stuff from the Manga, so we need a Manga reader to help us plan. You have to have read as much of the Pokémon Manga as possible and be able to tell us about just about anything that happens in it. MANGA EXPERTS ONLY.
Spriter (unlimited positions open): We need pixel artists to do everything from trainers to Pokémon to fakemon and more!
Mapper (unlimited positions open): We always need improvement on our maps.
Music Composer (unlimited positions open): We need someone with good knowledge of working with MIDI to either write original music or edit the music that we will provide to you. The style of music will be that of D/P/P.
Tile Artist (unlimited positions open): We need people to make tiles. You have to be good, though.
Interior Designer (2-3 positions open): We need someone to design the insides of buildings. Right now we're using R/S/E interiors and they don't look very good. We hope to change this.
Scripter (3-4 positions open): We need people who can do custom scripts in RGSS/Ruby.
Editor (1-2 positions open): We need someone to go through our old maps and fix any language issues like spelling and grammar. You also have to add a lot more dialogue and make Trainer Tip signposts more helpful. A sense of humor is necessary for this job.
Geographer (2-3 positions open): Various aspects of the Pokémon world are based on the real world, and we need people who can do research in this area. For example, Johto is based on the Kansai region of Japan, so while we're doing the Johto region we need someone to provide us various aspects of Kansai culture, landscape, etc. that we can base things in the game on. This job is good for people who love to learn.

-For the time being, the breeding center does not work. We have disabled it and will not enable it again until we can find out how to make it work.

-In some interior maps you can enter the black space
-The fishing event works like in R/S/E, but the character acts really weird
-There are a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes, which are slowly being fixed.
-The reflection of the protagonist in the water is slightly off
-The Pokémon sprites are distorted, off-center, and out-of-proportion in most cases.

-------------------------------------------------
XII. FAQ
Don't ask something that is already answered here.
Spoiler:
1. Why do you have chapters?
The chapter system is introduced for the reason that it's projected to be a long game that feature both the physical and psychological growth of the protagonist. For instance, the protagonist is stated to be two years older in Chapter 2: Orange Islands than the time he wins the indigo plateau conference. In this way, this game is a little bit similar to the adventure manga and it's possible for you to see a change from the protagonist and his rival's appearance after chapter 2 or 3. If you still don't understand, then just ignore this point since it doesn't affect the game processing at all.
2. Nice hack!
THIS IS NOT A HACK!!!
3. When will the final version of the game be released?
Probably never because we plan on continuing this game as long as we can.
4. Where can I download this game?
Look in the Releases section.
6. I get an error message saying rgss102e.dll was not found.
Google the name of that file and you can get it online. Or get it here:
7. What do I do to get past the old guy in Viridian City about the private property?
You deliver Oak's Parcel and beat Gary in Route 22.
8. What about the Pikachu sitting outside your house?
You'll see later on in the game.
9. Are you going to increase the level cap with each region? I'd hate to reach max level after the first region or two...
We have plans to fix that, so don't worry about it. We'll deal with it when we have to.
10. When will the next demo be out?
Whenever we have time. Don't ask.
12. Will my old save file work with a new release?
It should, but sometimes it doesn't. We're not sure why.
13. Why do you call this game "Hall of Fame?"
The reason why I call this game Pokemon HoF is that it will witness the growth of the protagonist from simply a small kid to the Pokemon master as the protagonist explore different regions to realize the dream. It could be called Pokemon Legend as well but this name has been used by multiple fan games and I personally prefer the name "HoF" to the name "Legend."
14. How do I catch the starters?
They will be available in the future, each as a separate event. Don't expect that to happen anytime soon.
15. How do I do trade evolutions?
You don't. All of those Pokemon evolve in other ways.
16. I have a Caterpie at lv. 9. Why won't it evolve?
All Pokemon evolve much later. We figured that if you really want to complete your Pokedex, you wouldn't mind a little bit more work.
17. Can I be a beta tester?
No.
18. I'm running Windows Vista and it won't work.
Check the thread in tutorials forum and hopefully it will help.
19. I'm running OSX and I want to play your game.
Sorry, we don't know how to run Windows binaries on Macs.
20. Where will I find the legendary Pokemon?
They will all be part of some special events. You will find out in the not too distant future.
21. Are any bits from movies going to be included in this game?
Yes.
22. May I use your custom resources?
Yes, but email us first letting us know what you're using and how you're using it.
23. Why are the Orange Islands separated into five regional maps instead of one?
If you draw the regions to scale, the Orange Archipelago is bigger than Kanto and Johto put together. That and a bigger region means more stuff to do for you.
24. Does this game crash in the middle like Pokemon Raptor?
I have no idea what you're talking about and no, it shouldn't.
25. How much did you change the Pokemon data?
Read \PBS\pokemon.txt and see for yourself.
26. Where can I find a Torchic in Kanto?
Torchic is not native to the Kanto region. Are you sure you don't want to find a Finneon instead? We have that.
27. Where do I find Olga after she takes my badges?
Go through Diglett Cave.
28. The encounter rate in __________ is too high.
Use Repels. That's what they're there for.
29. Escape Rope works in some places and not in others.
This is not a bug.
