Sprites aren't the only thing you'll need, it's the little things that will make that game great I'm guessing.

I LOVE the intro!

We're beta testing already? how far into the game have you gotten?

3 Gym Leaders. I'd like to know your opinions, so next sunday, I'm releasing a beta.

Gordon, Hector, and Kata? Can I suggest Pokemon for them?

Hector: Heracross pre-evolution, final Butterfly
Kata: Skarmory pre-evolution, 2nd form of sword guy, Mawile evolution

Right, but remember, I'm using my own Pokémon.

Also, here's an idea:
There are 3 people in the game that give you all 3 starters. Even if you already have the other starter.

Interesting. I like to see you're deviating a little. But doesn't that ruin the point of having starters?

I could be a beta tester for this when you release the beta.

Which would be this Sunday.

Sorry. Some things have come up, but I'm back now! Just tell me what you need me to sprite, and I will.

What kind of new pokemon are you putting in it?

Groudon will be a Pokémon named Zapharoes, and Kyogre will be named Parpharoes, and Rayquaza will be Beipharoes.

Deoxys will be Seecilefre, and Jirachi will be Nitepo.

are you changing their sprites, or just giving them funny names?

Changing their sprites. I have no clue why I'd give funny names without changing their sprites lol

XD True. Help me think up names, peeps.

*bump*

So, beta testing tommorow?

I wanted to move it. Wait till I finish Gym 5.

k umm... should I lock this topic?

Are you still working on it?

Yeah, I am. No one's replied in a while.

Then no, don't lock this topic. As it's about a hack, you can bump it even if it hasn't been updated in a while with new information.

Anyway, how's it coming along?

Fine... patiently waiting for some new sprites...

OH! I'm extremely sorry! Have fun then!

4th and 5th Gym Leaders. Also, can you sprite Magmaby and Bubblot?

Bubblot's description

A tiny blue fish that can spit bubbles. Due to the bubbles keeping it moist, it can live on land.
It evolves into a fighting type, so the later ones will have to mention its fighting skills.

Credit to Sableyed for the moist part

So what happened to beta testing!?

I said I'm moving it. I wanna do it at a good time.

k? Was that compliment, or criticism?

I was criticizing my spriting abilities

Hey shadow so far the hack looks like its doing good and I'm excited to see how it turns out.
good luck.

Thanks

Anything you need ideas for?

Here is Avery. I kinda got crazy with the hair, but hey, the description said he's a nut. lol

Avery:

Sweet!

Yes.

I think it's less that so much as he's a falconer. I didn't picture him with it, but it's a nice touch, since he does train birds.

Oh... well how in Arceus' name was I supposed to know? I've never seen Holes.

I've got Richard done:

Awesome. Can't wait for Secia.

Pretty good. Reminds me of Solid Snake. I kind of imagined her in a gun pose, but whateva, good design.

And so, in hoping you'll make the next one as fast: "Gee, I can't wait for Draglok!"

Sorry I haven't been on for a while. It wouldn't let me in...

Anyways, I'll get those in.

I might start a Pokémon Mercury Twitter page, so I'll update occasionally. I'll share the link when I make it.

I think it was well made.

Oh, and to anyone who is new here, please be aware that this is a HACK and not a FANGAME It even says "(Hack of Ruby)"

Pray tell, what is the difference between the two?

Hacking is when you modify the original appearance of a ROM, while a fangame is when you design the game and the gameplay all by yourself.

Hey guys, Pokémon Mercury's Pokémon WILL be changed. However, Pichu, Pikachu and Riachu are staying the same.

well duh. But you should keep some other same ones as well, ones that show up in every game.

Oooh, im really sorry to ask but what program do you use? ,:3

Be more specific, please. Like, what hacking utilities do I use?

I gotta say, the intro to the game is hilarious! Good writing, Trent.

Thanks!

Gah! I can't watch the video. Unless you just posted a picture of a large white square.

Sorry, come here:

*clap* very good, very good. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks! More will be uploaded soon.

Tell me, will the map look exactly like Hoenn or will it be different?

There's no way you can change the directions and whatnot unless you're a professional at Advance Map(Which I am, just not changing directions). HOWEVER, I CAN change the texture without a problem.

Can we change the order you move around the map and change the cities completely?

As I said through IM, I love the hilarious intro text.

FYI, for the YouTube tag, you put only the video ID in there, not the whole URL.

Ooooh oops, yes I mean the hacking program used to recreate the game. ;3

I like how the intro turned out too btw~!

Aight. I use Advance Map, Advance-Text, and Unlz-GBA, and some other utilities that the pros use.

Need tools? You might wanna come here:

Unless you can speak Spanish, or you ARE Spanish, you can read it.

Achievement unlocked
You can now hack Pokémon games!

I'm sorry that I have been gone. I am having trouble with Draglok, but I will keep trying.

I can't speak Spanish.

Oh, and that's okay, Yoshizard.

Have you planned out how the journey is going to go? I think it'd be fun to put the gyms in different cities than in the ones in Ruby/Sapphire.

I've only planned out a little bit so far... there's still dumploads to be done.

IDEAS!!!
I think we should switch up the gym locations. I'll list the leaders by their RS equalivant cities.
#1: Hector, Petalburg city. (I'd rather put hector before gordon because he seems earlier.)
#2: Gordon, Mauville city
#3: Kata, Lavaridge city possibly Fallarbor town
#4: Avery, Fortree City (I'd be best is we could redesign fortree altogether to create a new city)
#5: Richard, Lilycove City, or Mosdeep City
#6: Secia, Dewford Town
#7: Draglok, Sootopolis City
#8: Jeremy, Rustboro City

There would be no boulder in whismur cave, so you could go through there through the get-go. Secia would come much later.

I can't change the order of Gym Leaders unfortunately.

Can you change the map at all?

Yes, I can, but only the palettes and design.

Why make Rustboro the last gym?

And while you can't change the order that the badges show up, you could do something like make Whismur Cave accessable and then block off Dewford and remove the boat event so you have to surf there. Like Cinnibar - you have to go through loads of the game to be able to go there, despite it being directly south of your home town.

when you say palettes and design, what exactly do you mean?

Okay... allow me to explain...

A palette is the graphics in the game. Example: See him? That is the palette covering him.
A design... I'm sure you know what that is...

Okay, lets take Fortree City. Can you change it into a completely different city, without all the tree bridges, or can you only change the colors?

There's also "Map Editing" which allows you to edit maps' objects' positions. I don't only have to change the palettes of town, but I can delete all the trees and create a totally different town!

That's what I mean. Could you also delete the boulder and mr. briney's boat to change the direction you move through the game?

Yes, but if I were to change the directions of Briney's boat, I'd need to script it out, which isn't a problem, but may take a good 10 minutes to do.

Well, do you like my idea of changing the direction the game goes? Also, if we're going to have a different plot there's going to be a lot to edit.

Ok, can someone else try to sprite Draglok? I really can't. I'll just move on for now.

What's going wrong with Draglok?
