Granted, but the winds are so cold you turn into an ice sculpture. Chilly!

I wish I didn't have problems with expressing my feelings -.-'

What is Love? - Hadaway

What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

Just one thing... you said use a clean English rom. I used a full English patched Jap Platinum.

Dunno if it's of relevance, just stating it.

It's of complete relevance. I'm quite sure there is no way that it will work.

They've been ripped already, so I'm sure it is out there somewhere.

I'm on vacation. Don't expect anything soon, but do know I have a nearly flawless way to replace the sprites. Unfortunately, my R4i (don't h8) died on me, so I'll be buying a new flashcart for realtime testing.

Well, unfortunately, I haven't made much progress. Whenever I do it the files end up way wrong. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong exactly, though. I'll keep at it and maybe I'll get it right. It always messes up the palletes and offsets the sprites way too much.

Gay? Hah, playing as the guy is boring for me now, and so I'm going to play as the girl. Besides, the guy character looks a little gay in HGSS o_O

I'm also trying to change the female sprites to the new female character. She is way more hot. jk. No really though

I'm trying to do that. It's very difficult to get it right for me. Perhaps someone else is more skilled. There is a tutorial to replace Pokemon Platinum overworld sprites below. You should check it out and try it.

I'd play this, but I don't see much point. I've played Pokemon long enough to know most of the moves and abilities by heart, and a good portion of the game off of memory. That, and I'm taking Japanese too (which doesn't help, considering I can only read Japanese but I don't know any vocabulary )

Nah. I'd rather wait for the full translation or the English rom.

You'll be waiting for the English release, then? xP It'd be a waste and very difficult to translate all of the story. They normally just do the most important parts. I'm attempting to play through it untranslated

Settle down, son. Let the big boys handle this mission.

People are already working on it, and I'm sure if you actually know Japanese and aren't using translation tools people would be happy to have you help translate it. You won't be able to do it on your own, so you should either not go for it (seeing as how you don't even know Japanese, according to my inference) or join another group that has already started.

But in that case you must backup the ROM files from your own authentic cartridges and the originals must have been destroyed in an indirect way not of your own doing.

EG: You backup Pokemon Platinum. You archive it. You are not allowed to use, copy or distribute it in any way. Your original is destroyed in a fire, oh noeeezz!! You are now allowed to use the single backup you made, but are not allowed to copy it nor distribute it. There is more legal information regarding this on the Nintendo of America website.

The graphics are totally awesome in this game. I chose the female character 'cuz she's totally hot in game

The names are written in katakana.

And Treecko is "Kimori."

NO idea how you came to the conclusion that you did.

I'm just dumb like that. :biggrin: I probably renamed it and forgot about it. Or maybe I just suck at reading Japanese.

Off roading on the ocean?

Sounds like fun... if I could drive

In my opinion, the transportation scheme created in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald make no sense. You show up in a truck. The truck leaves. How does it leave? There are no roads. They show that they have the technology for cars and trucks, but they never go into play in the game. It really doesn't make sense to me. I think Nintendo had a FAIL on their part in this generation.

In a completely different subject, if you look at Treecko's name in Japanese, it reads in Hirigana "shichi", meaning "seven" (may also be other meanings as well, I'm a beginner). Unless the Pokemon names are shown in Katakana or something (probably). :biggrin:

Hey, is this compatible with Vista? I'd like to know before I try it out. Thanks. :biggrin:

Espeon. 'Cuz it's fricking awesome!

I only got to, say, 40 on Mt. Battle. And didn't you also have to purify all of the Shadow Pokemon too? I really wanted that Ho-oh, but not enough.

Lugia, on the other hand, was totally SICK. I trained him up a bit, but then in the GTS I saw a level 100 Lugia for any Lugia. I was naive and knew it was probably hacked, but I went for it anyways. That thing was a beast! :biggrin:

Do you people even realize how long I had prayed to God as a small child to bring my talking Pikachu plush to life so I would be Ash Ketchum?

Anyways, I'd get two newly (hatched?) Pokemon, a Pikachu and Eevee. I'd raise em up and they'd be my bestest friends.

2 - If I use the palette 13300 for Heroine.narc.

What I need to modify codes cycleheroine, swimheroine, waterheroine ... and others having to do with the main characters?

It's that I used three codes and leave me the image in black or very dark and the image leaves me 13300 as

The provided files are not for Platinum.

You should test. You might be able to get away with just editing in Paint

Can you? That would save ALOT of time.

Yeah them ones don't have 2 frames, I need to find all the sprites with two frames, back and front.

Sorry, but unless I put the time into something that would directly change the NARCs pallete, there would be no feasible way to automate this. They all have different colors; how would the program know how to recolor? Is there any documentation on the NARC file that I can download as a file? I have very limited internet resources and so many sites are inaccessible.

I thought this deserved a bump. Also, I have discovered something the author may not have known:

information removed

EDIT: Sorry, I gave a lot of misinformation. This is the only bit of information that is true:

2. 1. In PokeTEX, you can hit Unk. 1 twice instead of once and it will overwrite the entire sheet, saving you a lot of trouble copying all the codes. I'm pretty sure this works, but to be sure, try it on a backup before you save it to the full version you are editing.

3. 2. When reimporting, major pallete changes can occur. If you can edit the sprites purely with the hex you'd be much better off.

It should be under "hero(ine)use", right? Try that. I'm not sure, otherwise.

Correction. Those are MINE.

Those two pictures were posted, by me, on the exact same thread.

Edit: Also here is the tutorial with images full: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=4926514

Ahahaha, owned.

I have a question. How do I edit the pallete using GIMP? Do I go to colors>map>assign? I've been playing around, I'll tell you guys if I get any useful results.

EDIT: I figured it out! You can go into Dialogs>Colormap and edit the map from there! I am going to be making some cool Color edits ^^

EDIT: Damn. I keep getting this error: "Png has to be 8bpp indexed! This image will probably not work."

I don't understand, I kept it indexed with the same amount of colors... did something happen inbetween that ruined it all?

Hey Bear here is a rar file with all the 493 pokemon

they just need to be colored and reinserted.

Don't they all have two frames? And what about back sprites? Maybe if I can figure it out, I can make an automation program to convert all the colors... maybe... Hmmm....
