It will be the final version. But, like with any game, if there's a major glitch I'll patch it.

Anyway the tiles don't work well together, since they're n different styles.

Haha, well my vocab's terrible :)

And hinkage, what we're talking about are the trees in the 2nd and 3rd screenshots versus the grass tiles. The colour change is too drastic. I know we're being picky, but all in all, it'll benefit the hack. If you really wanna keep the colour, add a darker outline instead of the really light colour.

For example:

(The tree directly in front of/below the trainer)
It's not a drastic change but it looks better hanging over the grass, in my opinion.

Keep up the good work though :)
 
The tiles really don't go well together. The BW trees don't go with the grass or buildings (not the gatehouse, but the house to the right of the player), nor does the gatehouse go with the other house. They're all in different styles. But the other tiles look okay and I like the unusual story.

Will there be fakemon/newer Pokemon? And will the player OW be changed?
 
The Pokemon Hyetology trailer is here!

I have just one question: what does hyetology, the study of rain and other precipitation, have to do with this storyline?

Absolutely nothing. In fact, I should probably change the title.
 
Because gullible is the only word not included in the dictionary

The B/W trees are never near the other trees, so you don't actively see the difference in-game. If you mean with the buildings, well, I'm sorry but I don't have enough tileset/palette space to add them on most maps.

That's no excuse. Think of it as playing a game with SNES graphics and then in certain areas it's PS3 graphics. Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration but still. If tiles don't go well with the other ones you're using, change them.
 
Here is a new screen with updated trees:

You, hinkage, are a true inspiration to hackers, I think I'm loving this more than 2Awesome! I loved all of the references in the intro video and extra kudos for the music choice, but the one reference that made me laugh out loud was the NPC named Richard Castle, I would've never thought of that! XD

I'm really adoring some of the big-time changes you're implementing in this hack that set it apart from other ROM hacks and even more so from the official canon.

I suggested to Koolboyman to check out your Pokémon 2Awesome via Twitter, because I think he'll take a liking to the storyline's originality even with the graphical abnormalities in the game.

Your hacks have made me want to emulate your hacking style because I enjoy playing it so much, and see myself greatly enjoying making my own like this (hopefully it will offset the tediousness of creating trainers and scripts in my hacks :P)

Please keep up the good work!
 
It's really good! You just have to make a new character mini and back sprite, and I think it would be complete - or at least up to the point where you have to stop.

Good luck completing your hack as well, dude. :D

Is Koolboyman really relavent here?!

Anywhooooo, this hack looks splendid. I'm loving the Black Mesa Cameo. It was the first 2 words I read in the thread. I will definately try this when it's released.

*subscribes to teh thread*

[*]No "standard" Pokemon events such as (that I, personally, think are boring and overused):
[*]---Involvement with legendary Pokemon.
[*]---A professor giving you your first Pokemon.
[*]---Tutorials about basic things everybody knows already.

I like that, every time I get the tutorial how to catch Pokemon in a hack or other basic Stuff I obviously already know, it really annoys me. Even in the Main Games this are the most annoying Parts for me, it's hard to understand why so many mod makers include them :/

I also dislike all the Storys revolving around the legendary Pokemon, so I also like that part and I'm curious about the unique Story you're promising, best of luck with your hack :)
 
Wow, thats a creepy trailer haha...
Storyline sounds interesting, I'm looking forward to it. :)
Keep it up!

Really great work on the hack. Like the story line a lot and also the drug to stop evolving *& the killing off of pokemon*. Looks like the events will be worth it. Glad you are taking the rom space into consideration *since i saw some hacks stop because of rom space*.
If you want any support banners/sigs/banners vm me & I'll be happy to do some.
