Thanks for update.

No problem! I'll try to update this every once in a a while in the future too.

I think garfield should be heathcliff!

Ookay... 

Might have been a good joke post but not being from america, it was even hard to figure out what you were literally trying to say here.

[Pikachumanson]

Heathcliff is well known actually, so the joke's lost on you. He has his own comic strip, still in syndication. Has a wii video game, the fast and the furriest. He had a cartoon show. He also has a live action movie coming out in 2014. I suggested heathcliff because he's known for kicking ass unlike garfield who is known for eating everying in sight.

Yeah, well I have seen some cartoons about that cat when I was a kid. But that wasn't what I meant there. The thing is, not garfield, heathcliff or any other cartoon has anything to do with this hack.

  Sorry about that... I got my hacks mixed up!

No problem
But hey, check out if you like this one! Even if you regularly don't play any pokemon hacks, this should be a refreshing experience.

[Pikachumanson]

Sure! Be sure to check out mine as well when it's done.

Will do

Also I might as well upload these here like I have done with other forums where a thread of this hack is being hosted as well.
The re-sprited main hero on the left is made by Solar.



The screenshots show improvements to the "old beta 3" (which happens to be the latest playable release but still, it's a bit outdated).

Second and third screenshot are of a small quest you have to do already in the start of the game. Some guard at the "South Gate" has been "sleep-walking" (can't tell if that really is a word or not) to close a certain part of the gate and you have to find a way to wake him up. Not like it would serve any purpose to the game itself (before it did when you were supposed to beat a certain person before being able to wake him up but I have dropped the idea for further releases). But I felt like keeping the thing in anyway.

Fourth screenshot is of the second main character (yep, he's traveling with you) saying they should go to see this Dr. Frank to a place called Highland Town if they wanted to help out this blackbelt (who has hurt his leg there). Yeah I know... this is only just a plotwall there because I wanted the player to run into certain events in Highland Town before being able to move on. There are quite many of these "plot walls" in the game, not too many though.

Fifth screenshot is about your professor explaining he forgot to mention that he ordeded the shopkeeper at the mart to give you something before you leave on the mission (which he sent you to do).

And two final screenshots are showing small improvements to one script where you can buy something for $1500.

Loving this game! just got to brightbulb though, so now i'm in search of the side quests...
i can't wait till' the next update is released.
is this the most up to date forum, or do you post more frequently somewhere else?

I haven't kept this thread as alive as the other ones in Skeetendo Inc. and Pokecommunity.
I frequently update stuff in both of them but if you wanted to keep track of everything that's going on, you could even follow both.

And to add to this, I've surely finished quite a bit of stuff since the latest update in this thread. I haven't really showed much since then elsewhere either though.

[Miksy91]

C'mon guys! Surely we've got some pokemon/RPG fans around here!

Well, I'll just keep the thread going on myself. *It's not like I need any feedback from the people around here, but it would be nice to keep the thread running.

Anyway, two new screenshots today:



I've basically built a thing called "Battle Room" in the upper room of every PC. You may choose a training mode and you're made to fight against a randomly picked trainer of that mode (there are 5 possibilities, it chooses one of them). After you win, you receive Battle Points (BP) depending on how good the opponent was and you can change those Battle Points into certain gifts (pokemon and items mostly, there is one special case around there too).

And, I know the implementation is very similar to the Gold Saucer Battle Arena from FF7, but I don't really care. That is actually where I picked the idea behind this Battle Room too. And since some people tend to get underleveled during the gameplay, they may come here to train instead of walking around hours and hours in bushes (that was actually the main idea behind starting to build this thing. But I happened to add more and more features in it, and so, here we are!).

I'd post more feedback, but I have no complaints so far and I suck at putting stuff into words when I like it.
The Battle Room sound's interesting.

And if you NEED any complaints, I'd say the fact that we're still waiting for the next beta(?) release,LOL.
Also, I will love you forever if you can let me pick Larvitar as my starter, even more so if shiny?

I get the idea.
Thanks for the reply

Yeah, beta 4 has truly taken me a while, but that's what happens when you start doing this properly (all the other releases were too rushed really). Sorry, you won't love me forever, I won't be making it a possibility to get Larvitar in the beginning of the game.
You're stuck with something even more special.

I don't blame you, I've been using him as my starter in Ultra Violet and he's an absolute tank that early in the game, the trade-off is, he takes forever to level up.

Yeah. But the thing with this one is that you have a certain pokemon as a pet. And you're not going to "start your pokemon journey" in this hack like you do in most others, you'll rather get involved in it "by accident".

That's pretty much why I couldn't make it so either that you could have a whole list of starting pokemon to choose for, you already own the one you got.

[Miksy91]

Looks like this thread died again...
(Guess it's time to revive it then!)

Anyway, here's a video of a new intro sequence I've made for the hack:
Interesting stuff starts after the first minute or so, but there's some background information before it so I've included that too.

[Miksy91]

Another release (beta 4.0) is available of this rom hack.
It offers a lot of gameplay (more than many other pokemon games by Gamefreak Inc. do), sidequests and in every way, "successful scripting".

Go and grab it in the main post! You won't regret it.

Hey in knw this sounds stupid BT how do I knew if the game updated?
