Hey Pokecommunity. It's Crizzle aka Chris Rose announcing yet another hack(perhaps my final hack or my 2nd to last hack. I don't know).
You may or may not know me as the guy who made the horrible Pokemon Outlaw or the not as horrible Pokemon CAWPS, both of which have had some popularity, particularly on Youtube. Shout out to TheHeatedMO(who apparently hates me) and NumbNexus(few people who are more savage than I am, he's one of them) who recently had an intense 3-way with my previous work, Pokemon CAWPS on Youtube. (Lol one of them lost the Nuzlocke on the final battle)
I'm not going to go into too much detail with this hack.
I'm mainly announcing this just as an unofficial copyright to the hack's name, as well as a template for the thread topic whenI finally complete the game.
Alright, prepare for a lot of text that 99% will mostly skim over.
Introduction
Pokemon Korosu is vastly different than my previous hacks, which both often tried to be "funny". This hack is a bit more serious(as you can tell as Korosu means "to kill" in Japanese). Despite that, this hack is still in the same messed up universe as Pokemon Outlaw and could even be considered a sequel of Pokemon Outlaw. You don't have to play Outlaw to understand the hack's story but events from Outlaw are constantly referred to. When the game actually is completed, I'll post a recap of relevant events from Outlaw, so no one has to suffer(or enjoy) going through that one just to play this one. The good news is that this hack should be by far the best hack I've made.
I don't want to reveal too much of the story but this story is a story of revenge, based partially(not really) on my favorite move Kill Bill(Vol 1, Vol 2 was good but not nearly as good as Vol 1).
This is a story of a young lady who finds herself in a difficult situation. Her family has been killed and she has been kidnapped by a harsh, mafia-like criminal group and has been doomed into a life of human slavery.PredictablyEventually, she escapes(with some help) and she sets out for a quest to get revenge against those who have ruined her life. That's far from the entirety of the story but that's about as much as I'm willing to reveal, I guess.
The game will take place in two very familiar regions, as there are multiple parts of the story. At first it will take place in the Sevii Islands. The 2nd part it will take place in Kanto. Both are very different from their originals. The Sevii Islands have become unstable and nearly all of them are controlled by different criminal groups of varying degrees of strength. I won't get into much detail about Kanto, except for this is a Kanto affected by the events Pokemon Outlaw and is in a very grim condition, much different from the Kanto we all know and love.
WARNING: This game while it's not as stupidly vulgar as Outlaw(nevermind), it's incredibly dark and violent. It'd definitely get at least T(if not M) on ESRB.
I'm really happy that i can make a hack like this one because I wasn't good enough of a ROM hacker to make this when I first started last year.
Features
Unlike my previous nostalgic hacks, I've decided to modernize a little bit so the features could be a little more appealing.
-Physical/Special/Status Split(surprisingly easy to implement). Applies common sense to the battle experience.
-BW2 repel system that asks if you want to use another repel after your repel is finished(provided that you have another repel).
-Some Gen 4-6 pokemon. Still mostly gen 1-3 pokemon but I decided to add some of my favs from other gens(spoiler: mostly as opponents. Though one will be given to you. ). When the hack is completed, I'll make a list of what I add into the game.
-Pokemon Tournament instead of Elite Four/Pokemon League. 64 trainer tournament, inspired my love for american college basketball and their 68 team "March Madness tournament". Gonna make it a fairly unique experience.
-A completely new story, a bunch of new events and characters. I'd call it a new and unique Pokemon journey. Not merely a 8 badges, evil team, Elite four kind of game.
-Main character kills a LOT of people. Probably unprecedented in any Pokemon hack.
-No waiting to get running shoes. You get to run at the start of the freaking game. Why do you need special shoes to run? Also can run indoors.
-Fixed that stupid trainer facing thing that made no sense,so you actually face the trainer if the trainer challenges you.
-Trade evos by moon stone(some by water stone). Plan on making sure that ALL the eeveelutions(definitely spelled that wrong) are available(except the fairy type one, sorry). As well as a few other gen 4+ evos(Roserade, Gallade,etc.) available by moon stone(or maybe some elemental stone).
-Still NO FISHING. DEATH TO FISHING! (Honestly, I don't hate fishing. I just have no motivation to make fishing overworld sprites.)
-Here's good spot for a warning that this game will probably get really difficult at various points, particularly in the beginning(where you're kind of put in a tough spot).

Bugs
There will be bugs. I don't know how but there will be bugs. Half of them won't make any sense but I've learned that no matter how hard you try there will be bugs.
Also, I have no editor, so I'm good for a bunch of typos. And I'll definitely spell weird wrong as wierd("I before E except after C" Stupid 4th grade english teacher. Ruined me for LIFE.)
Awards:
Give me Hack of the Month! Don't think about it! Just give it to me!
Just kidding, I don't need it. I've already got an award locked up:
ROM Hacking Lifetime failure award(2016). Suck it , haters!
Also:
Your mother/sister/girlfriend's favorite hack and lover(2005,2006, 2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016, and probably got it locked down for all eternity).
Downloads:
I don't release hacks until they are finished. I don't like teasing too much. This thread is pretty much a message of intent for all potentially interested parties.
Progress as of 7/6/16: Ehh... Pretty much 100% complete. I just have to test a bunch of stuff, maybe fix a bug or three. If it's not out by the end of next week, then something has gone wrong.
Here's a very brief sample of Pokemon Korosu being played:
Credits(these are just a few early credits, not everything):
Glasikino for the sprite I decided to use for the main character.
Diegoisawesome just for being awesome.
FBI. I hate that guy but he's really amazing. Deserving of respek.
Spherical Ice. Mr. Ice is an inspiration.
Doesn'tknowhowtoplay, Jambo51 and Darthatron for making that PSS patch and the latter two for the icons.
And absolutely nobody for posting a good tutorial how to properly use a Hex Editor. I had to actually put some real effort in and use my brain for that! Ridiculous. I demand everything to be handed to me on a silver platter! Shame on all of you!(jk)
Final note: Thanks to anyone who even considers clicking this thread, even if it's just to quickly skim through and laugh at me. I don't expect any responses, so any response to this thread would be greatly appreciated.
