    Okay, you've probably been wondering where I have been for the last 6 months. You may have noticed that Pokemon: Hokum Trilogy has been discontinued due to lack of support and help. That isn't anyone's fault it's just GBA hacks are more "wanted". This is exactly the reason why I have been working on a hack behind the scenes. I didn't want anybody involved. I'm not going to give too much away either just a few details so you can get a rough view of what I hope for.

    Introduction
    On my second run through Pokemon Brown, it got me thinking. Hacking. Where did it all start? I looked through my drawers of stuff I used to make when I was younger and pulled out a small cardboard box. Inside was tons of paper drawings of fake pokemon, maps of towns and cities that dont exist, scrap paper of storylines and plots. I hadnt opened this box since I was 8 years old.
    I set to work...

    Version
    Pokemon Red - Yes, I've gone totally old school.

    Plot
    The scene is set at the same time as Brown and Red's storys occur. A young female who lives on Obst Island is late for her school. She quickly rushes from Möhre Town - Where she lives - to Erdbeer Village. As she enters the village she is stopped by a schoolfriend called [Rival's name]. They quickly run to the school to pick up their Pokedex and their first Pokemon. When they get there they are confronted by an angry teacher called Miss Blume.
    The story unfolds from there...

    Features
    Catch 201 Pokemon (not a typo)
    Every map has changed (even just one tile)
    All text is changed
    New tiles
    A visit to a personal favourite region

    Hehe, Let's just say that I am replacing the glitch pokemon with real pokemon. I'm afraid I have no clue how to add/change pokemon pics, I hope to get your help on that one ;)
     
    Ah, well in theory I think it looks pretty simple to add them if you look at the ROM Map on Data Crystal, but seeing as the Pokemon use some sort of non-English documented compression (and I haven't much ASM experience) I don't know if that's possible. Maybe someone with that sort of experience might be able to help, because I wouldn't mind adding a few Pokemon too.
     
    That's pretty neat, Never hacked red properly, But I'm pretty good with graphics XD
    so if ya ever needed those done just ask
     
    That's not pixel art I made myself though! That was transferring compressed data from a game which uses the same compression and then repointing it, because I thought it would be nice to have the Yellow pics in there.
     
    Presea's tools has them tools! But I'd say using a hex editor for text editing in a GB/C game gives more control.
     
    hmm, looking for a tileset editor. Sorry about this, my folder got deleted (thus Hokum Trilogy failing).

    EDIT: Another problem, does anyone know the pointers for the hero's house interior? I want to change the warp when exiting the house...

    Yeah, nice screenshot!

    You can use TLP to edit tilesets and offsets for F1-2 of Ash's house will be on Data Crystal's ROM map.
     
    A Red Hack? Wow, that's great. I hope you can finish it. You use ASM + plus some tools to hack Red right?
    I wish you the best of luck on it.

    The only tools i will use is probably a mix of Redmap/Pokemap and a Hex Editor (not sure about ASM but im trying to find some tutorials today).

    I've fixed up the trees a little bit:

    the screens look awesome, and i love the fact that it's a red hack.
    not to mention that it has a girl character, and the titlescreen is all kinds of nifty.

    best of luck with this!

    Thanks!! Do you know what? Because you caught me in a good mood, and I've had it tested by my Beta Tester, I'm going to put the link up for beta v1 in the first post!!!

    Gern geschehen ;)
