FireRed hack: Pokemon: Nautical Requiem

[Virtual Chatot]

Forward: The inspiration for this hack is the great 20th Century Horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Who wrote hundreds of short stories on Horror, most notably the stories about Cthulhu and the great old ones. This hack will contain some adult themes such as death, language, and some parts might actually scare some people, fairly rare for Pokemon Hacks being made in a professional way.

Hack of: Firered

Story: You are the child of a legendary sailor who wrote many books about the sea and the evils lurking beneath. Some looked at your father as a madman, others looked at him as a person who only wanted attention, more tragically others looked at him and found inspiration. Your Father had always talked about these dark things with you, and your mother would always stop him in the middle out of fear that you would end up just like him. You live on the Island known as Virgo Island. One night, your father disappears, leaving you and your Mother alone in the world. Going into his study, you find a note stating that he has left the island on a journey to find the "old one". On his desk, you see a Pokeball that he left for you as a parting gift, which contains the Pokemon Horsea. When you go downstairs to tell your mother of this journey you're about to take, you both hear a crash upstairs and your Mother remarks that your Father's Journal is missing. After receiving a ticket for a boat, and receiving a farewell from your Mother, you ride the boat on its way to Orion Island, you find a missing page to your fathers Journal, which is then put into his journal, maybe someday you can find all of the pages and return them to his journal...
Somewhere under the ocean, a large dark being crawls slowly at the bottom of an underwater trench...

i like the dark storyline ... kinda reminds me of something =p ... sounds good tho im really interested to see what will come of it =) ... first post btw

Hmm good story but i think the starter should be a horsey with a kingdra evolution at lvl. 40.
Mantine is kinda weak if you see its stats on serebii.
Sorry if i'm spamming.

Don't worry, you actually gave me a pretty good suggestion xD

Although Kingdra won't evolve at level 40, I have another idea for that

Don't worry, you actually gave me a better idea

And will there be sinnoh pokemon like mantyke or manaphy/phione in here?

This game looks wicked so far.
The story line is nice, i looked up "Cthulhu" and saw a picture, hopefully the new legendary looks like him, coz he looks awesome.
I cant wait 2 see some screenies.
Best of luck!​

 

[Tony the Awesome]

Wow, the Storyline is AWESOME!
I hope this hack comes out soon!

 

[adamb241]

Cool story line. I'm a bit confused....What will happened when you complete the diary? Will you be able to find the location of the new legendary Pokémon? Well anyways, the story line is great. Can't wait to see some screens.

 

[TB Pro]

Wow....Just wow!
You are amazing VC!
I think This looks very nice!
I hope you keep the ideas flowing and STAY WITH IT!!!
Lol Well anyway,

The Diary pages will provide you with a vast amount of Information; including hints to buried treasure, secret areas where peculiar Pokemon can be found, and finally it may unlock an even deeper secret, the whereabouts of your Father's location and what exactly he was looking for.

Now that sounds pretty damn cool!
Hope it all goes well bud!

Since I joined this is one of the best hacks I've seen. I'm a great lover of mythology and dark storylines so I will definitely play this.

Thank you, but you haven't seen anything yet

Right now i'm searching for some good trees and also making sure they can go in the Fog Weather Effect without looking horrid.

-Edit-
I've finished writing up the stats for the New Legendary

 

[Boz]

This looks pretty nice man. It wil be awesome if like you said you find your father, a bearded half naked man crawling around like he has 'devolved' in some cave. Lol xD

 

[Virtual Chatot]

I am pleased to announce Megiddo will be another scripter besides myself for NR.

The first screenshots to be released won't contain any Platlette Color Changes, they'll just show some of the added tiles.

 

[mistersmeargle]

If your looking for a spriter for the legendary, I'm available.

 

[Virtual Chatot]

I've found a pretty good tree tile that I like, and it works with the Fog Effect without looking bad.

I'll have some screenshots up soon -3-

 

[adamb241]

Cool, I can't wait to see them.
