Ruby hack: -=~//::Pokemon Amethyst::\\~=-

Pokemon Amethyst takes place 15 years after Gold and Silver. It contains a new region, several new pokemon, certain pokemon from R/S, and a new storyline.

You have finally reached the age when most kids leave on there pokemon journey. Your towns local scientist, who is a specialist on pokemon DNA and gene splicing, calls you over one day and says he wants you to do him a favor.

He allows you to pick one of three of his latest experimental pokemon. They have been altered to have new types and moves! Totodile is now electric type, Cyndaquil is now ice type, and Chikorita is a fire type. He wants you to train one of these pokemon to see how strong they become.

edit: i updated this post with some screens from the pages ahead

Heres some more screens, i will post more tomorrow.

Good stuff

looks good and a good idea keep going

Yea this sounds great and I just love the looks of the ice type cyndaquil, quilava and typhlosion same goes for totodile etc well keep up the good work.

cool this looks great are there going to be anyother type changes?

Your proffessor is not the only one messing with Pokemon DNA. AFter you get your pokedex. the prof calls u and says that one of his pokemon have been stolen! Youl ater find out its team rocket and they used that pokemon to figure out how to create there own altered pokemon. This idea will play a big part in the story.

The only new pokemon in the beta will most likely be mudkip who you can catch in a swamp.(Any good spriters willing to help with this?)

[sarcasm]Oh aren't you clever! You can change pallettes![/sarcasm]

Sounds nice keep the good work:D

The pallettes are screwed up though... But it looks ok, the pallettes aren't the best, but it looks ok, so keep it up...

Meganium line is the ony palette that is weird i think. It was hard to think of another type to look good for it. I tried to make it interesting by making a different palette for the final evo and i think it looks ok the other pokemon look much cooler anyway so most will chose those.

I have many more screens to show you. Here are just a couple. Im fixing some tileset stuff because im trying to insert new trees and grass. The grass i got working but the trees look aittle weird so ill have to mess with it a bit more before posting more screens.

I got new grass working. If anyone has a better grass tile id be happy to use it but im keeping this for now.

these pics are of the second route

Sorry to triple post but i have good screens.

This is the swamp where mudkip is caught. I will show you a screen shwo of mudkip once i get a GSC format version of his lines sprites.

For now you can catch poliwag, yanma, and spinarak in the swamp.

I have decided to post what i have done so far since it seems not many are interested in my hack.

Patch to a normal gold rom.

Remeber this is just the prebeta with mostly mapping and some other things. Mudkip is not in the swamp yet because im having trouble making the sprite for him and his evos.

sound interesting i think this will turen out o be a great hack

Did you REALLY need to quadruple post? Anyway, What game is this a hack of?

EDIT: Sorry, So it's a gold hack. Anyway, Now that it's worked out, Sounds like a great hack! I noticed your other thread, And i'd be happy to help out with the text. I thought i may as well say it in one post.

^
great sounds good i deperately need a text editor. And yea the quadruple post was neccesary because each post had several attachments so i needed to make a new post.

I will contact you on MSN.


To Everyone:
Please post and tell me what you think of the beta and also tell me if you find any bugs.

How do you Play it? its an .ips not a .gba?

you arent alowed to post roms here so its an IPS patch. Get a regular gold rom and put it in the same folder. Use LIPS or Snestool to patch the rom. For any further explanation and you need to look elsewhere, this isnt a help thread.

I might be able to help you with your GFX just tell me what you want & i'll see if I can do it.

PS. good idea for a hack.

^ Do you have AIM or MSN because it would be easier to explain what i need through that. The main thing a need right now is a devamped mudkip that fits in the 40x40 box of a pidgey. i also need the evolutions of mudkip and i also need both back and front of all these sprites. I know this is a big job and im willign to do some of it if u dont want to do all of it. I also need trainer sprites, over world and in game.

Progress Update:
Ive been doing alot of mapping lately and ive got alot of good ideas, expect a huge update soon.
