    The storyline is still being tweaked, but here's what the storyline is as of now:

    As per usual, with every other main Pokemon game, you're just starting off
    as a Pokemon Trainer.
    The main character will be about 16y.o.; they're usually 10, but I think
    they always seem to go through a bit of hell for a 10y.o.
    Anyway, back to the story. Whilst going along the normal journey of
    travelling from city to city, battling the gym leaders to enter the pokemon
    league and catching all the pokemon to become a Pokemon Master, you
    run into an evil organisation, called Team Aphotic.
    They want to find and capture Jirachi, and use the hidden power in it's
    body eye so that they can summon and control Regice, Regirock and
    Registeel. With control of the Regi's they plan on taking over the country.
    Finding Jirachi won't be easy for them, though. It could be anywhere
    within the 3 regions of the country. That's not to mention Team Aglow,
    who are trying to stop Team Aphotic from harming Jirachi in the process of
    their evil plan.
    As any nice trainer would, you take somewhat of a detour from your
    journey and help out Team Aglow stop Team Aphotic. And who knows?
    You might even have what it takes to capture Jirachi yourself and protect
    it from any further harm.

    Kay, so i've got an idea for the gyms...kind of a different approach. Tell me if it's any good...:
    I'm thinking of putting the battle area in the gyms (like you get in the elite 4); you always see them in the gym in the anime and i kinda wanna get that feel.
    The problem i have is: A) I've never tileset edited before and i'll probably screw it up, and B) I don't know if i should ONLY have the leader in the gym (also like the anime) and scrap the other random trainers in there.

    With problem B, it'd take the fun out of working your way to the gym leader (which i think is a kewl thing about the games)

    Heres what it would look like: (made in Paint)

    I'm in a dilemma! let me know what you think of this idea!

    I will release the 1st Public BETA when I have finished the 1st 3 gyms. Keep an eye on the progress to see how far off I am

    progress.png


    Starter town (Dawn Town) finished
    Routes 1 to 3 mapped out (could do with some more NPCs and items laying about)
    Mire City finished
    First Gym Leader is now battleable :)
    Vernal Town exterior finished

    doing.png

    Indexing the D/P Pokemon Sprites (just the 1st 386) [on-going]
    Adding trainers to the Routes

    next.png

    Write a long script for Vernal Town, to move the story along a bit.
    Map out Route 4 - towards Meadow City
    Map out Meadow City (2nd Badge)
    Map out Route 5 - towards Tempest City
    Map out Tempest City (3rd Badge)

    RELEASE BETA!!!!

  • Hello!
    I'm new and want to be a hacker.
    But...
    I would love to help you make this.
    Well, what can you do so far? (or what would you like to do?)
    I'm doing this alone for now and could probably use some help

    im enjoying the title ;)

    but it seems like a HUGE project with your features

    Thanks :)
    And yeah, it probably will be a huge project...lol. I should probably try and look for a team to help me out.

  • Wow. Nice titlescreen. But same tiles?

    Just for now. I want to get the story pretty much finished and make it at least playable before i start changing tilesets.

    I'm not very good at making tilesets (yet) and i dont like using the same ones that everyone else seem to use.

    (even though i guarantee that i'll contradict myself with that at some point)

    Looks like a big hack! Should be fun to play a totally new game rather than just iterations on the older games

    yeah, a few ppl have said tht it will be a big/huge hack.
    indeed it will, but not so big that it's impossible.
    not even impossible by myself.

    could do with some help though...

    so to anyone out there who wants to help me out with this, get in touch!

  • Man, you're gonna be in for a haul with those features; Good luck, if it helps. But I think you should put the little arena thing inside the gyms. When you learn some basic tile inserting, you'd find it simpler than you think..But I'd also leave the trainers inside the gyms, too. I mean, it WOULD get kinda lonely in there with just a one-person Gym.

    Yeah, i've kinda finished the 1st gym (without the arena style layout) but it needs another trainer in. It does seem a bit empty.

    I'm sure it is simple to insert tiles, i'm just concerned about messing up colors...

  • I like the sound of this so far! I'm okay at mapping and spriting so if you need assistance in those fields please don't hesitate to ask! I can also make you some support banners if you want. Good luck with this hack!

  • Im not *Too* bad at mapping, so I could always beta test and fix up glitches I see in the map.

    sweet :)
    I could try and push on with the basic layout of routes etc and you could touch em up of you like.

    I need help with this, but i dont wanna feel like i'm putting a load of work on people. I could do with some sort of team.
