X-isle Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hello all, newb here... Hi, uh...the title says my idea. I heard about Project Pokemon through Kotaku (http://kotaku dot com/the-hackers-and-cheaters-that-break-pokemon-1679307562). i am writing up my own script for a ROM hack (my first) and i would like to as for any pointers you can give. My story will try to encompass the "beginnings of the Pokemon world" at the cost of our world ending. I would like to base it off of either X/Y or OR/AS games, because i want to use the newer 3d models, rather than 5th gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably too early for a total ROM revamp because how to successfully edit scripts is still as of yet not documented or achieved, so I'm not entirely sure that you can make a hack as ambitious as that quite yet. But, if you're interested in making a Gen VI ROM hack you'd do well to familiarize yourself with the tools that do exist right now. If you want to edit Maps and 3D Models, get familiar with using Ohana3DS, currently the only tool capable of editing the .BCH model format used by the game: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?44168-Ohana3DS-(BCH-Tool) Most other things documented and editable can be edited with pk3DS: https://github.com/kwsch/pk3DS I would also get familiar with hex editing (I use HxD), as if you want to edit data for which a tool doesn't currently exist that's the only method. My advice would be to start small and work your way up -- before you try to make something so ambitious, make something smaller -- a hack with edited wild encounters and text, and slowly progress your way upwards.

X-isle Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 i have wanted to make my own version for a while, i just haven't had time with my classes and work as well as not having any real idea where to start...i thank you for your suggestions, and will start small...but i do want to eventually release my own version (not for sale, just for others to be able to enjoy it).
