Pokemon Sea Blue (No longer being worked on)

[i0Bjhansen0]

Sorry to any of you who were looking forward to this hack. But I'm planning on finally making a new hack using Emerald.

Since it has been so long since I've actively worked on this, I have no idea when I'll be able to get back to working on it. I don't remember where I was at when I last left it, and I don't remember most of the tools of the trade that I've learned over the course of my hack. This will remain as it is until I can devote much of my time getting into hacking again. I'm sorry for anyone who's actively been watching my progress and downloading my pre-releases.

-Plot
Many years after FR/LG take place, some mysterious weather has introduced unforeseen mutations in certain Pokemon. As a result, new properties have been seen in those Pokemon.

-Pending Features - These all may not be implemented if I do not get the knowledge or help to make these.

Spoiler:

• New Routes and Cities with Pseudo-Gyms.

-Bugs

Spoiler:

-Moving between different layers may cause a slight change in framerate. I do not know when this started and the cause, or if it always happens.
-When looking at TMs and HMs, the Type, Power, Accuracy, and PP are shown as the Fairy, Bird, Light, and Chaos type icons. -This is minimal and doesn't seem to me like it needs fixing unless I find a tutorial to change it.
-TMs with moves that had their types changed have glitched palettes. I probably won't fix this unless there is a tutorial.

-Due to giving the National Dex early on, the player will have to progress through the second set of Sevii Islands before battling the Indigo League. I will be working on fixing this

Spoiler:

Version 0.1 - Pre-release

• Reupload

• Pre-release 3

Version 0.2.2b - Pre-release

• Reupload
• Notes
  • The Pokemon have been expanded but Mega Gyarados and Gengar is (almost) fully implemented. Some other new Pokemon can be found.
  • Both mega stones can now be found in Celadon City instead of the event items.
  • The egg move table is increased. Many Pokemon can inherit more moves. It is not finished as I haven't added the rest of the fakemon.
  • The second evolution, starter Pokemon have new abilities similar to Pixilate for their main types in their second ability slot. Some other Pokemon also have abilities like those.
  • I think there's a little more I should say about this update but I've done too much to remember everything.
  • I may have made a mistake when creating the Nidoran shiny event. If you get Nidoran M to be the shiny Pokemon, please pm me. (90% of the time I get a female.)
  • There is a way to get the starter to be shiny.
    • Hint: 058297C334
  • There is a bug with the Game Corner. The multi-choice box that is shown when buying coins is messed up. This is fixed for next release, for now avoid buying coins or fix it with a tool or manually.
  • XSE has been screwing with my text and caused more bytes to be lost. I believe I have fixed the messed up bytes.

P.S.
I am possibly looking for a scripter, an ASM'er, a cry creator, or a beta tester. I don't do very good with creating elaborate scripts and I don't have the knowledge to do ASM, but have little projects in mind that may require some ASM. I don't need to create cries for my fakemon but it could make the game more polished. I'm also looking for a beta tester to go and check basically everything out to make sure there isn't something major happening that could ultimately halt all progress made with this hack. PM if interested.

Want to be a help to me without joining my team? Then please fill out these forms to help me make decisions on what to choose/how to name.
Go to this survey to help decide which mega evolution will fill the last spot.
Go to this survey to give naming ideas to abilities similar to Pixilate, Aerilate, and Refrigerate for the other types.
-I have allowed the responses to be seen by other people to give other people the ability to pick names already given to increase the likelihood they will be picked.
Go to this survey to give naming ideas to abilities similar to Swarm, Blaze, Torrent, and Overgrow.
-There have been troubles with trying to implement these and may not happen. You can still help give ideas to these.

Look an like a good rom! I wish you good luck.

 

[thebrawler56]

I believe Water Blue was trademarked by Nintendo.

I believe Water Blue was trademarked by Nintendo.

Maybe I should have done more research. I think someone else already made a Water Blue hack. Wonder what else could have blue in the name and relate to Gyarados...

Monsoon Blue?

 

[i0Bjhansen0]

Monsoon Blue?

I chose Sea Blue. Lake Blue seemed more like a G/S/C or HG/SS hack since a (shiny) Gyarados is found in a lake in those games. And with "sea" I can add an area in the Sevii Islands for the legendary.

 

[Wayne18]

This seem a bit interesting, looking forward for this

 

[Ikotou]

Sounds very interesting! I got so excited after reading the mutations part lol :) I wish you good luck!

 

[i0Bjhansen0]

Uploaded my first pre-release version.
https://www.mediafire.com/?r55c9gvx7gpoqie

If it doesn't work please let me know. I've had issues with my FireRed rom.

[EDIT] I used NUPS to create the patch. Try this one out if you were going to play my pre-release version.

 

[TMoon]

I'm having issues installing the patch to the rom that I have, though this may just be something I'm doing wrong.
Going to troubleshoot and see if I can fix this.

Yeah I kind of expected that. It's not your rom, it's mine. I don't know why but I can't patch things onto it, nor can other people use my patches to patch their FireRed rom.

 

[TMoon]

Yeah I made it to where it said it patched the file, but it's still the same ROM as before.
I'm excited to play it though. It's a great concept!

It's possible that we are using different patch tools. What UPS patching tool do you use?

 

[i0Bjhansen0]

Uploaded Pre-release 2 of my hack.
https://www.mediafire.com/?8gi3lq1lu9ipatp

[EDIT] Also, please go here and fill out the survey. I can't make up my mind for the third Mega evolution I want to add. Just something that other people can be a part of, even if it's not that huge.

 

[i0Bjhansen0]

Ok so. If any of you have been wondering, I still am working on this. Fixing those pesky missing letters and doing a little here and there. I have redesigned Starter Cave a little bit to make it look less..... unnatural. Version 0.2.1 will be uploaded in a couple days. Along with me doing a new set of screenshots. Also, with the help of my mapper, I'll be making a new cave to allow the legendary beasts to be caught.

Here's a couple ideas of mine I'd like to shoot out there to see if I should actually make them.
-Using JPAN's ball changer code to make an NPC event that changes one of your Pokemon's ball type to the Luxury Ball. Useful if you want to quickly evolve a Pokemon through friendship. I've wanted something like this since the Luxury Ball came out. Would require a lot of work to get it right, so I just need to know if other people would really want it.
-I got the idea from Pokemon Maize to create special in-game events using some value in-game. Just like Maize I was going to use the trainer ID and then do a couple math calculations and then the player would need to input some characters or a number to get the event item or (like Maize) an event Pokemon. This would require more work than the luxury ball changer and I'm not sure how to end up having the player input a number to match the number given.

So if you would really like to see one of these in the game, don't hesitate to say so.

Also, don't miss out on the last Mega Evolution being added to the game. If you don't want to pick one from Gen 1, don't choose a Pokemon and you will be brought to the next question if you select next (or continue, can't remember which it is). Kangaskhan and Pidgeot are tied with the most votes so far. Survey will end at the latest possible time to get the most possible votes.

Thanks for the credits!!

Good luck with the hack!
