Red hack: Pokemon: Wisteria

[Banjora Marxvile]

Alright, the beta looked good (got to the first gym, not far, but already 2 things to report) One is an item in a tree (but you said Map Positions aren't done, right? If that counts...)

Another is a small script thing... Before the battle with the Rival, but after getting your Pokemon, talking to Li makes him... Well, I'll show you:

Instead of Li's name, the Rival's name pops up.

Have you tried the BETA? I'm such an impatient bastard, I can't wait for the first review haha.

EDIT: Tried your tileset idea and this is what came out:

...
Yup, just played it :)

Being honest, here... It's quite similar to he original Red, though. I mean, for one thing, most (if not all) of the events are the same as Red's.
There are also a few things worth noting, again see the attachments.
1. Minor text flow error.
2. Not an error, but since you've edited all the front sprites of Pokemon, I think you should use the backsprites from Gold or something, as they're less pixelated and look plain better.

I think you should try to re-work he story, so the Player has a reason to go to the Mart for Li's parcel, and perhaps include a bit more dialogue regarding what the Player challenging the Gyms. This leads me to point 3:
I got to that city with the first Gym, ran into the Gym using the space bar (i. 7,000,000,000x speed), so I accidentally triggered a trainer battle. I fainted, and was sent back to the edited Pallet town, evidently where Red's front door used to be. This is where I stopped.
All in all, it could use a little bit more work, but it's just a beta, early days. I'm sure it'll improve in future, as you've got the right idea ;)

UPDATE:

Beta 1.1 available to download. Fixes glitches reported so far. Please redownload and patch to a clean Red ROM. (Note: Regarding the plotline for the parcel, I wanted to completely remove the script or change it but I lack the ASM knowledge to do so, it will stay for now).

 

[giradialkia]

Huh, when I posted that second time I completely missed Banjora's post, as well as the edit to yours.
Anyway, I for one like that tileset change :D
also, I'd imagine, in time, you'll learn more about ASM, so I've no doubt you'll improve :)

I'll try the beta and put up some comment soon when I finish it :)

EDIT:
I finished it, almost.
The game was okay overall but the first gym is too hard, at least with Charmander which I managed to pick.
Also, I know that editing the text for people that have no purpose in the game feels boring but it would make the hack better ;)

I've tried to edit most of the text. Including random people.

UPDATE: Mapped Wuste 3 and finished the warps to one of the gatehouses. Expect Beta 2.0 sometime soon :)

I actually enjoyed the hack. The problem was that you got Blizzard before the second gym and you could get rid of Gloom and Vileplume,and train easily on pokemon in the mansion.The pokemon in the first grass are a lot too tough,i mean i have a lv.5 Squirtle and there are level 9 Nidoran M there.
PS: I thought Red hacks aren't good,but i changed my mind when i played Wisteria. I enjoyed the game more than GBA hacks. Good luck!

In that Mansion near second gym,i think it was a Poke Ball in the wall.
BTW, The patch 2.2 doesn't work(?) i have patched it to every possible Red ROM and the patch didn't do anything. O.o The previous beta worked.

There are two problems: You may buy a (Something)badge and ?????? in the first shop. When i use the ????? the poxedex shows up,and when i use it in battle it comes up with this:

There is also a swimmer in Brunette which swims to you crossing the bridge, and he has pokemon at levels 30+:

@down:

The first one seems pretty fun to use.

xD

The second error is easy to fix, as you just have to change the tiles needed to move. The first one seems pretty fun to use.

So, you edit the events in HEX? Or is it by using RedMap?

You can if you read the first post! XD

Redmap has no event data. CBM used it primarilly for mapping. All events are done in HEX editor.

All bugs reported shall be fixed by tomorrow.
