    Pokemon Hazel Iris

    Storyline

    You are Red, or Leaf. You have only recently beaten the Elite Four in Kanto. You then proceed to go home and lounge lazily with your Pokemon. Suddenly one day, Professor bursts into your house frantic with excitement. He tells you that you have been invited to Phoenix, another region in Japan, to compete in their Pokemon League. You are excited to go, until he informs you that you are not allowed to take your Pokemon with you. When you ask him why, he explains how there is a new international law preventing anyone from taking Pokemon across national borders, due to heavy Team Rocket, Aqua, and Magma activity (That's right ALL THREE!). Anyway after giving it some serious thought you decide to stay. You stay for several months, until your Original Starter becomes dangerously ill. You have no more of your winnings from beating the Elite Four, mainly because you turned 18 and your mom kicked you out, and you needed the money to buy a house. When you bring your starter to Prof. Oak, he tells you he could save it, but it would be far to expensive, and he simply can't afford it. You ask him if there is any way to make the money without fighting the Elite Four again (You don't think you can win without your starter)<--(Noob) Anyway, he tells you that if you were to go to Phoenix and take part in there Elite Four Challenge, they were offering enough money to save the starter just for going. You agree and the game begins.

    This story is a bit generic, and I plan on changing it to meet the needs of the hack as it progresses.

    RPG elements

    That's right. I plan on adding a bit of an RPG element to this game. Not like you as a trainer level up or anything like that, but you do have events that take place which decide if you are good or evil. I only have one example as of now.

    (This is not in the download, I'm still writing the script)
    When you beat the first gym you can go down a path, and Brendan runs out screaming about how Team Rocket is trying to steal his Pokemon, and that they already made it faint. Two Team Rocket grunts then run up and tells him it's useless, just give them the Pokemon. Next Brendan asks if you would battle them, with a Yes or No box.

    If you answer Yes

    Brendan moves out of the way, team Rocket remarks on your foolishness, and then you battle the first Rocket. If you beat her (which isn't easy), you fight the next rocket. If you beat him (Also hard), they retreat and Brendan thanks you, and runs off to the Pokemon center. Note: If your Pokemon faint at any time during this battle, you can still try again.
    After this point you are "An enemy of Team Rocket" and Brendan's ally.

    If you answer No
    Team Rocket says "Heh, smart kid, now give us the Pokemon!" and Brendan says how he will get you for this, and then runs off screen, followed by Team rocket.
    After this point you are "An enemy of Brendan" and Team Rocket's ally.

    Mew

    When you start, Pallet Town remains relatively unchanged (for now). In "Garry's house" you can talk to the two people inside. The first is an old man, he says "When I was young, I was lucky to encounter the Legendary Mew! I am still to this day, one of the few to know it's location." The second is a young woman (soon to be nurse), who says, "I apologize, this old man is senile." If you look at the wall you may notice that there is a missing shadow (though, none of my game testers have noticed) which has a wall you can physically walk through. After you go all the way to the end you enter a room with another old man in front of a door. He tells you he is impressed that you have found this place, but tells you that you must prove yourself worthy of entering the next room by beating the Elite Four.(I'm working on fixing the outline of the room) Inside is a level 75 Mew. I plan on adding a side quest that will lead to several legendary Pokemon, ending with Mew (I think I'll use Celeb i, Jarachi, and Deoxys)

    Difficulty

    I haven't decided on a "Difficulty" yet. Currently, it's very hard. The Gary fight at the beginning is easy, but after that, you run into some real obstacles. First, The gym has four trainers, who all have dark types (this is also subject to change). The level of the trainers Pokemon range from seven to nine (Not that difficult) but the Leader has a level twenty Houndoom (Much harder). This means you must reach a very high level in order to beat the gym. Because of this, I've added a gym assistant who will re-enable, the four trainers. If I lower the difficulty, he will more than likely be taken out as well.


    Gyms

    Th
    ere is no set order of Gyms or difficulties, as of yet. There will still be 8 gyms, which are required to get to the Elite Four. The Gym leaders are all Scientists, which is because of the storyline. You are being tested. The same will go with the Elite Four trainers.


    Becoming a Hacking Team

    Available Positions

    Scriptist
    Map Editor
    Hex Editor
    Sprite Designer
    Title Screen Designer
    Story Creator
    Game tester
    Other

    Requirements

    MUST HAVE SKYPE, IT'S FREE. I WILL GIVE YOU SKYPE DETAILS, AS WELL AS ADD YOU TO A TEAM GROUP, UPON ACCEPTANCE.

    Scriptist

    You must be able to use either Pokescript or XSE fluently. You must send me a ROM with a script that you think is amazing. Weather this be a short encounter script, or a monster script that has multibox and even a follow me script. It's up to you. I have no limit to how many scriptist's I have, but I don't want to get an overwhelming amount, as I won't need alot of them. I would also like to ask that you include "Fuzzyketchup" somewhere in your script text, so that I know it's your work. And to conclude, you must also send me a text document telling me what I need to do exactly.

    Map Editor

    I need someone who can use Advance Map very well. I am not accepting Elite Map, mainly because, I don't know how to import a map into the game from Elite Map. If you can tell me how (me still using Advance Map) then I will omit this requirement.


    Hex Editor

    I don't personally know much about Hex Editing. If you are good at it, I don't even know how you can prove it to me. Because of this, I just want you to tell me what sort of stuff you can do with Hex Editing. You can send me either, Pictures, ROM's, or Video. Along with a detailed list of what I need to do (ROM only)

    Sprite designer

    If you aren't good enough to make a custom version of every single sprite in the picture (In the attachments)
    don't even bother continuing. If you CAN do every single sprite here, you must also know how to use UNLZ as well. To test you, I want you to send me a ROM you created with Jessie or James as the main characters (Both if you want to impress me). I will walk, run, bike, fish, fly, ect. So I expect every single sprite to be created. I understand this takes alot of time, but I think it's the only real way to prove yourself.

    Title screen designer

    I need you to be able to create a title screen for the ROM along with a custom logo, and Pokemon. I want you to make a title screen using any background, but the original. Also, replace the title from Pokemon Fire Red to Pokemon Example, and finally choose any bug Pokemon.

    Story Creator

    This position requires you to play through the game completely, upon every release (I will be releasing it myself). To prove yourself, Just write me a PM with a great idea for the Pokemon game. Try to make it original, because if it isn't I'm likely to not add you to the team. Once part of the team, you can also talk to other members about Maps, sprites, ect. Just make sure you run all your ideas past me before finalization.

    Game tester

    This is a necessary Evil. Anyone can be a game tester, however, I only need about 3. If anyone else on the team wants to be a tester, they have first priority. The game tester must walk around trying to exploit glitches. Any you find you are to relate to me.

    Other

    This spot is here to allow for future Members if the need arises.

    hmm its looks epic but for the hacking team i can maybe be a game tester to see if theres any bugs but still the pics looks very epic
     
    You must send me a ROM with a script that you think is amazing.
    Herp derp no ROMs allowed.

    But anyway, in all honesty this just looks like you badly (very badly) edited a few maps, threw four screenshots (as well as a random sheet of overworlds from FR) together, and are now asking for other people to make your hack. Sorry but it's true, the majority of this thread is you asking for help.
     
    Wait, so in order to join the team, we need skype? Or in order to just download the hack (when a beta comes out) we need it? Also I love the storyline, just lower the difficulty (my opinion).
     
    I Would be a game tester and if you need skype my skype is aqulaa2 okay i cant wait to test this epic game for bugs and other stuff kk

    Well, I can't upload photo's or links without 15 posts (and I haven't posted yet) so as of now, you need Skype to join, and to download. But as soon as I can put links, the beta will be released to all.

    Sending me the ROM would be through Skype or Megaupload/Rapidshare

    The other stuff I can mostly do. The reason that the pictures are pretty sparse is because I haven't done much map editing yet. I don't need a map editor, but it would help greatly.

    Anyway, the reason I asked so much is because I want it to look as professional as possible. This isn't going to be "My hack" but our hack.

    Making a hack as a team doesn't really have that much advantages to doing it yourself only. The truth is that it fastens the process but that's all I think.

    The owner of the hack should be the one to do most of the work and let others help if they want to and ask for ideas when needed. But he should be able to go on although the team would for some reason break up.

    I've for example never needed help with my hacks, that's also why most of them have no major changes as I couldn't back then until I learned.

    What you should do is to start studying the basics of rom hacking and study more and more until you're able to create this hack on your own - then start creating it. If you need help, ask for it.

    Spoiler:

    I know how to do everything, but I would like assistance (for example, I don't have the talent to make my own sprites) Because of this, I asked for help. I can do scripting, I know how to use UNLZ and Advance Map ect. But I figured this was a good opportunity to increase my skills, through example. I suppose that a team could break up, but I am capable of doing everything necessary, and for what I'm not, I can still look up (like you said) Either way, thanks for your input ^.^ (I also have a ROM in process)
     
    Hey well you planned out the story at least. It doesn't sound that bad, but I wonder how you'll implement the RPG feature. Good luck on that (I know it's possible).

    The maps could... er, be better. Simple map edits that don't look that appealing to be honest. But practice makes perfect, so just work on that.

    And maybe you should post a team thread, so the first post looks more neat and will have more info on the actual hack instead of recruiting people for your team. But as said above, try and learn more skills before requesting a team.

    Anyways good luck on it, and don't give up.

    Thanks, I'm not the best with Advance map, and I think I'll finish Hazel Iris before I actually start making a team. Then I'll make a team game from scratch. Thanks for all the input to all of you. Fuzzyketchup.
