Pokemon - Shining Wish Version

[Spindaboy]

Hello everyone! I'm new to PC, but I have a planned project that I'm interested in getting some feedback on. For starters, I'm definitely acquainted with ROM hacking, however I have never attempted a hack of this magnitude. I have no idea how long this will take (probably 1 year minimum), but I am prepared to pour my heart and soul into this project. Currently the only people working on this project are me and my cousin. She is helping with concept art and character design. I am the sole hacker as of right now. There is a lot still being planned out so I am hesitant to release story details and what not, but here is a rough outline of what I plan to include:

• A brand new region with an original story
• A unique and creative cast of characters
• Custom graphics and sprites
• All Pokemon from Generations I-V (649 total)
• A Day/Night Cycle that changes wild Pokemon
• Game mechanics from future generations
• Various fixes and enhancements

I know it's very vague and I apologize for that, but I would still like to know what you think! Also, I am taking suggestions so if there is a feature you want to see added don't hesitate to ask. If you want to be a part of the project please PM me for more details. Expect more updates soon!

I can't really comment on anything since the features you listed are very general and quite common in a lot of hacks. Any reason you're only planning to include Pokémon up to Gen 5 and not 7?

Welp. To be frank, I kind of despise Sun and Moon with all of my being.

EDIT: X and Y are fine I guess, but gen 5 was the last really good generation.

Fair enough, adding more Pokémon, moves and mechanics can be very time consuming anyway.

Have you thought about the hack's story or any details about the region?

Actually yes! I have the first draft of the story complete and a mock up of the region done too.
