Hello~ I am YourFavorite and I am completely new to rom hacking and to this community. Even though Gen 5 has been out for several years, I feel that news of Gen 6 is coming a bit too soon. Black 2 and White 2 were just recently released, and (more importantly) I feel that Gamefreak hasn't really given us a chance to explore triple and rotation battle mechanics. In 3rd and 4th gens, Genius Sonority was hired to make spin-offs, which explored double battles in 3rd gen, and more in-depth mechanics (like trick room) in 4th gen. These introduced me to double battles, were a lot of fun, and gave me a pretty big appreciation for both double battles and pokemon battling in general. For 5th gen, triple and rotation battles haven't recieved the same treatment. Sure, in B2/W2 there are a few trainers that will surprise you with triple or rotation battles, but you can never see them coming, and they feel very out-of-place. I feel that both have some potential, but there haven't been a lot of opportunities to explore them outside of multiplayer, (where a first-time player is likely to get wrecked). So, to get to the point: I am planning on making a Black or Black2 hack that features primarily triple and rotation battles. I want it to be its own game in its own right (eg. different region, different gym leaders, different evil team), but all of the core gameplay mechanics will probably stay the same. I may use this for progress or recruitment later (If you're interested in helping, that's awesome, but since we are still in concept/planning stages I don't even know what help we will need), HOWEVER right now I mainly want to discuss the idea and the logistics. GAMEPLAY/story-wise, here are my ideas: -Evil team plays dirty, will wait to ambush you two or three at a time. -An order of monks that values team synergy and the ebb and flow of battle, who will train you in rotation battles. -Start the player off on single battles (first gym), then introduce doubles (second gym), then have the remaining gyms split between triple or rotation battles. This is so the player can get used to the game, then slowly get used to other playstyles. -Triple-battling gyms will likely use a lot of spread moves, but I want to incorporate some other common strategies from the metagame as well (eg. fake-out, follow me/rage powder, maybe even anger point and/or justified) -Perhaps have one elite-four member for each battle style (singles, doubles, triples, and rotation). However, this brings up the question of which style does the Champion use? Perhaps the player gets to pick? -Perhaps centering the story on the three legendary birds, because there is very little lore about them and therefore plenty of room to make stuff up. My gameplay/story concerns: -I want triple battles and rotation battles to make sense in context. -I'm worried about putting triple battles in too many places, since giving commands to three pokemon makes them take longer. But I'm also worried about not including them enough, and making them feel like a misplaced gimmick. -I'm also worried about the synergy between triple battles and rotation battles. They are pretty different styles of battle, with different viable strategies for each. While this may encourage team flexibility, it may also discourage having more support-focused pokemon and/or restrict what strategies the players can use. My technical concerns: -I plan on changing the types that the gym leaders use, but have heard that it's difficult to edit the gyms. Worst-case-scenario, I would be fine with leaving the gyms as they are, but changing the trainers and leader. -The FAQ seems dubious about editing maps in roms, but I have seen a tutorial on editing the maps in B/W. How practical is editing maps in gen 5? -I am not quite sure whether or not to use Black or Black2. Pros and cons: Black: +Gyms and elite 4 seem easier to edit? +Probably better documented than Black2? -Fewer maps than Black 2 -Complicated ending, with a champion battle, a legendary battle, and another battle, plus a castle rising out of the ground. Seems pretty hard to edit (but also could be edited to become a pretty epic ending). Black2: +More maps than Black? +Features a desert-like section (Lentimas Town area); I would really like to use some of those assets and make a larger desert-like section of the region. +Ice sliding mechanics; could make some fun puzzles with those +I'm a fan of pokestar studios, and like the idea of making my own "battle puzzles" +Has both white forest and black city? (If I feel a need to use those for something) -Gyms and elite four seem more difficult to edit -Hasn't been around as long as Black, probably less documented -Do I really want to take the time to mess around with pokestar studios, when it would delay finishing the hack? So, I would very much appreciate if anyone would like to discuss my ideas and concerns, and help me hammer things out. I'd especially like help choosing whether I should start with Black or Black2. I'm still doing research on the whole process, and have a lot to read, but would appreciate any feedback that would help guide my research. Thanks for reading! <3

Hi, I am Disperated!!!!!!! Since i saw the announcement of Pokémon XY for the 3DS, Could you please make a Pokémon Stadium Hack With Pokémon Black and White/BW2 Compatibillity for the DS? I mean instead of using the N64 Transfer Pack To Transfer Pokémon, why not using the 3DS To transfer Pokémon from BW/BW2? And with Pokémon BW Data over the Original in Stadium Mode, Gym leader Castle Modes and GB Tower (Replaced with DS Tower) And The Hall Of Fame Support with all the 649 Pokémon? And Maybe Minigames with all the Pokémon who evolve with Friendship with the right to gain items for the DS Games and a Professor Juniper Lab replacing Oak's With LOTS Of Upgrades? What Do Ya Think? ANY SUGGESTION WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!!!!!

Pokémon Gray, a remake of Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 and White 2. Introduction: Hi all, I'm thinking of doing a history hackrom collecting Pokémon Unova Pokémon Black and White and Black and White 2 called Pokémon Gray/Grey. The story would be Hilbert and Hilda starring in his journey through Unova mixing history of this region of the anime and manga as main story and the remaining after the Pokémon League. For example: start the standard story of Pokémon Black and White battling the gym leaders that appear in the anime with the manga events after the league will follow the story that appears in Pokémon Black and White starring Nate and Rosa. Main characters: Hilda and Hilbert are young coaches who live in Nuvema Town located in Unova. Professor Juniper sends home a gift with the three starter Pokémon so they enlist to start your Pokémon adventure. During your trip, you will find all kinds of Pokémon and trainers Unova region. Also will face Team Plasma to thwart their plans. Hugh will be your opponent in the entire game. Professor: Juniper is the proffessor Pokémon Unova region. She is responsible for delivering the starter Pokémon in that region, she is the first teacher of the main series Pokémon game and specializes in the study of the origin of the Pokémon. History: The adventure is located in the new region, Unova and begins in Nuvema Town, where you will receive the starter Pokémon: Snivy, Oshawott or Tepig. Professor Juniper and Colress will find recurring characters throughout the adventure on several occasions, as well as your good friend (Nate if you are Hilda or Rosa if you are Hilbert). The villains of Team Plasma have the task of freeing the Pokémon coaches, they believe that the Pokémon are free beings and their relationship with the legendary Reshiram and Zekrom. Will also Natural (N), which will have a say in this story. Your mission is to become champion of the Unova region, after that two years have passed since you left to start your adventure Unova's image has changed: the works have been completed and on Route 4 buildings have been built. In addition, the Driftveil City's lighthouse is gone resulting craters and founded new cities, as Aspertia City southwest of Unova. Project: This hack is conducted through Pokémon Black & White 2 and need the tools collected links at the moment for these games to pull it off, I have little experience so if one wants to do this project have permission. A greeting and thank you all.

Pokémon Improved Platinum Base Game:Pokémon Platinum Current Version: Beta 0.1 The Game: -Well, I guess everyone knows the games Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. The Platinum edition is basically the same but with some add-ons like the Batlle Frontier and Gym Leader Rematches. The Improvements: -Most of the Pokemon now have a second ability or have them improved to a more suiting one (Turtwig's family now has Battle Armor/ Eevee has Cute Charm instead of Run Away) -Some Pokemon have new typings more suitable to their appearance (Porygon-Z is now Normal/Ghost / The Eevee-lutions are all now half Normal typed) -You can catch almost every pokemon in the game although I still have to add legendaries, but you can find the legendary dog trio on Route 224, one on each part of the day. -Trainers now have either more Pokemon or better ones, as well as at least 2 levels more an they are almost always evolved so no more level 40 Magnemites. -Pokemon that evolve by trade now evolve by level (mostly 37) or by leveling up holding the item they evolve-trade with. -Some Pokemon now evolve earlier (Aron->Lairon lv.28/ Lairon_>Aggron lv.40/ Glameow->Purugly lv.34) -Gym Leaders are improved (still WIP) -You can find starters scattered in Sinnoh, but each generation keeps the 3 together somewhere. Each generation has a different level (1st-lv.5/2nd-lv.15/3rd-lv.10/4th-lv.20) Screenshots: http://imageshack.us/f/585/cherubi.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/11/fightbuneary.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/255/mudkipz.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/211/pidgeyx.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/pokemonimprovedplatinum.png/ I'll add a Document with Rosters of trainers and Pokemon locations as well as the Gym Leader Roster. Sidenotes: -I accept all suggestions but keep in mind that I still have a lot to learn -If you're good at adding In-Game Events such as legendaries and Pokemon giveaways and want to help this project, then you're totally welcome!:smile: -I'll try to keep the updates coming so don't rush me.:wink: Downloads: LINKS COMING SOON, HAVING UPLOADING PROBLEMS WITH MEDIAFIRE! To-dos: -Add events(someone caring to help?) -Edit some Rosters -Edit GL and E4 rosters -Make event items obtainable in-game -Edit some Text -Edit Pokemon Movesets -Edit moves(not sure how to though)

OrrominGnome here, I have an idea for a Pokemon B2W2 mod. I don't have a lot of ROM modifying experience, but that's where you come in. Good luck. Expected Features: Pokemon -All 649 should be available in some way. -Some Pokémon will be of a different type than officially. -Pokemon will have Version Exclusive Abilities, making up to 5 abilities per Pokémon. Hidden abilities should not be edited. -Since Trading is not possible on an emulator, all trade evolutions must go. Misc -You should start out with the National Dex (i.e. get it from Bianca). -Gym Leaders and the Elite Four will have Version Exclusive Rosters. -Gym Leaders will have 5 Pokémon in Normal Mode, but 6 Pokemon in Challenge Mode. Cheren is an exception to this rule, with only 4 Pokémon in Normal Mode, with no version differences. -Elite Four members all have 6 Pokémon in both Normal and Challenge Mode. -TMs and HMs are the same, but we should find a way to edit move tutors to add more of them. 88 Moves should be available via Move Tutor (4 move tutors, 22 moves each). Google hates me! For information, look here at your own risk. More aspects coming soon. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap5pc87LRol6dHhIY0g1N3lFU0xJQm1oTVg1T1JTTXc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rfH9QQ5-4q8INR25mgf3qVz3NkmMROVlJge15MkR4Iw/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/15_dXZIqT3FxQJR2821IJh5xDiUPoP66aN1wSh_cyxsw/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/120-vGdOar6HNLHLqw1N4mQNwrdTeBRmfXn67irs1YoA/edit You can submit your miscellaneous ideas for Pokemon Blitz Black 2 and Pokemon Lava White 2 on this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1se1Mz_ug9YhZMriF4gRL8MAEhy2wyPxYLTrVG7RQcHY/edit Since this stupid attachments manager is refusing to upload the patch, and Google Drive hates me, you NEED to download it here: http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/99670/file.html Sorry if I haven't been working here for a while, but I am planning on a catchathon project coming this May. Just leave some ideas by my doorstep (via PM)

welcome, i am working on a new version of pokemon white, it's called pokemon lightning white many trainers have other pokemon, some gym leaders will be different, and you are playing a shadow triad, i still have to edit the fishing sprite. and instead of the elemental monkeys, you will recieve a kanto starter! and also, are you getting sick of the bicycle? now you will get a motorcycle and you will get it a lot earlier. soon there will come the first beta version, i hope you will like it progressing edit: player edit: 90%(only the fishing sprite must be edited) elemental monkey edit: 100% motorcycle: 100% gym leaders, elite 4 & champion: 80%(i need to know how to edit mugshot names and not all overworld sprites are done yet) title screen: 0%, editing won't work motorcycle recieving: 100% champion fly: 0% need to replace sprites

Hey, all! My name's Aninymouse and I've been dabbling in Pokemon ROM hacking for quite some time. Though I've edited all the way from Gen 2 to the present, I've never yet seen a project come to completion and release. However, this time I plan on finishing what I've started. I don't have any fancy graphics to show you yet, or even any YouTube videos, but I'm going to show you my vision for my version of Pokemon Black 2 & Pokemon White 2. The goal of True White 2 & Ideal Black 2 is to simply offer a more robust experience overall, while retaining the basic gameplay of Black 2 & White 2 that we all enjoy. Think about prominent projects of the past, like "Perfect Platinum"; this project will have a similar scope. Below, I'll outline my initial desires for this hack. Things might get added on later if I learn more tricks or get some help! CHANGES >Pokemon >>Availability - My goal is to have the only version exclusives to be Black or White Kyurem. All 649 Pokemon should be here. >>Types & Stats - Some Pokemon will be of different types. Base stats will most likely stay the same unless I have a good reason to change them. >>Abilities - Many Pokemon will have different abilities, some will more easily be found with better ones. >>Moves - Each Pokemon family will have at least one new attack to use. Some moves will be improved or altered. >>Hidden Hollow & Dream World - Expect these Pokemon to sometimes be very surprising. >>Evolutions - All Pokemon can evolve without trading. You won't be left out in the cold if you have trouble finding other players! >>Wild Held Items - Many rare items will be at your disposal. >>Miscellaneous - Some gender ratios and other information will be altered. >Towns & Maps - Many shops will carry a wider variety of items to use. >Storyline - While the bulk of the story will remain unchanged for now, some dialogue will be changed. >>Trainers - Trainers will generally have more Pokemon, and of higher levels and higher difficulty. >>Gym Leaders - The Leaders will definitely be much more rewarding. Far too easy on Normal Mode in B2W2. >>Pokemon World Tournament - Most teams here will recieve tweaks to keep things interesting. Regional divisions will remain reasonably easy to allow for BP grinding, while the World Leaders, Champion League, and Type Masters divisions will all be fairly challenging! >Other Changes >>Items - TMs and other items might change location to ease pokemon raising, or what have you. >>TM & HM - Several relatively useless TMs may change; for instance: Ally Switch, Incinerate, etc. >>Types - I think two to five changes to the "Type Chart" will vastly improve competitive balance and spice things up! >>Challenge & Assist - I'm wanting to research ways that Challenge & Assist Mode Keys can be allowed from the start without infrared. If RAM editing & AR codes are the only way, well, so be it. This is just my starting list. Feel free to suggest changes! I love hearing other people's ideas! If you'd like to partner up and get involved in a growing project, just contact me on the forums or email me at aninymouse@hotmail.com. Obviously, I'd like to use the USA version of the game for this, but until October there are a lot of things that can be done on the Japanese version in the meantime!

i'm not sure if anyone else had this idea, so sorry if someone else had this idea before me. i had this idea for a while, but i'm not very good at rom editing. the idea was a recreation of Pokemon Lost Silver on SoulSilver, complete with the actual teams, the half-sliced Celebi, etc. and, like i had said, i'm not very good at editing roms, so i do hope this idea is made sometime in the near future.

Well, I don't know if it's possible, but this crossed through my mind after a joke thread involving a fanart made by a pixiv artist named cosmo (hence the name). The point of this request is to take any of the BW2 games and change the starter Pokemons (Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott) for Lv1 Tangela, Grimer and Magikarp respectively, mainly to use it for nuzlocke challenges. Here a little screencap I edited in PS: And the fanart made by cosmo:

I've been thinking about importing the name imput screen from Black/White into Black2/White2. Does anyone know where you can find the data for changing the name imput screen? I wonder if it's coded in the ARM9.bin or the overlays? 'Cause I'd really like to learn how to find the data for the name imput screen, so then I can copy and paste the data into Black 2 and White 2.

Hi, lately I have been thinking of an idea for two pack Pokemon games. I have a storyline, legendaries, the Gym Leaders and Elite Fours on each side. My problem is I'm not a good programmer, so I was wondering if anyone can help me. This is the base storyline: You can't choose your gender in the game (I am hoping this is able to stop in whichever game ROM is used): You are male if your playing Pokemon (M symbol)-Pink and you are female if your playing Pokemon (F symbol)-Blue. Your professor is Juniper if you are (M symbol)-Pink and your professor is Oak if you are (F symbol)-Blue What has happened is Dialga and Reshiram tagged together to beat Palkia and Zekrom. Instead the battle caused a rip in all time steams of the world of Pokemon. With one rippled world is purely male humans and the other one being purely female humans. However you are that only other gender in that world, with another one we find out near the end. You go and find the reason this happened (like every other game). I will explain more storyline if I get this starting first. This means no one can take the idea off me. well this is the Legendaries, the Gym Leaders and Elite Fours: Gym Leader 1: Rock Pokemon: Geodude Lv10, Roggenrola Lv14 Gym Leader 2: Electric Pokemon: Pikachu Lv14, Plusle[(M symbol)-Pink]/Minun [(F symbol)-Blue] Lv16, Tynamo Lv18 Gym Leader 3: Normal Pokemon: Miltank [(M symbol)-Pink]/Tauros [(F symbol)-Blue] Lv18, Kecleon Lv20, Ditto Lv22 Gym Leader 4: Water Pokemon: Luvdisc Lv22, Basculin [(M symbol)-Pink is Red, (F symbol)-Blue is Blue] Lv24, Seaking Lv26 Gym Leader 5: Fighting Pokemon: Hitmonchan Lv26, Mienshao[(M symbol)-Pink]/Lucario [(F symbol)-Blue] Lv28, Heracross Lv28, Primeape Lv30 Gym Leader 6: Fire Pokemon: Ninetales[(M symbol)-Pink]/Arcanine [(F symbol)-Blue] Lv30, Houndoom Lv32, Torkoal Lv32, Heatmor Lv34 Gym Leader 7: Dragon Pokemon: Druddigon Lv34, Altaria Lv34, Vibrava Lv36, Altaria Lv36, Kingdra Lv38 Gym Leader 8: Poison Pokemon: Nidoqueen[(M symbol)-Pink]/ Nidoking[(F symbol)-Blue]Lv40, Crobat Lv40, Drapion Lv42, Weezing Lv42, Gengar Lv44 Elite Four 1: Dark Pokemon: Bisharp Lv45, Zoroark Lv45, Krookodile Lv47, Tyranitar Lv47, Umbreon Lv49 Elite Four 2: Psychic Pokemon: Gardevoir[(M symbol)-Pink]/ Gallade[(F symbol)-Blue] Lv45, Wobbuffet Lv45, Alakazam Lv47, Bronzong Lv47, Unown (? or !

Please tell me if any of my spelling and/or grammar is right in this. I will keep my eyes checked for it too.

Hi I am really bored by Pokemon games difficulties and since i have noone to play with online, i want to pump up the games challenge mode (whose existance actually gave me this idea), makeing alle the gyms and post game encounters and the elite 4 a much of a challenge as I can (becuase lets face it the actual challenge mode is only slightly more of a challenge) So what i need are a few pointers to what tools to use and how to compile a proper patch, and how i might find the adresses of the trainers pokemon stats for the challenge mode key (because i would like to keep the on and off option to make it a bit more professional), doesnt need to be too indepht, im thankful for everything you can give me, so dont mind posting as few as you know, its still better than nothing. Im sure many would like this, but even if not id apreciate the infos. Thanks and greetings, john

I don't blame you if you don't use it now, but like I said, videos and screenshots are coming! Comment your thoughts!

Hey Guys, First off, let me start by saying that I am no programmer, although, I am aspiring to learn how to edit and hack roms. Secondly, if this thread or question has been asked before I do apologize....(noob here) Ok, onto my idea.... I've been a fan of pokemon for many years now and, despite it's many flaws, have grown to love the anime series. The one thing, for me, that's always been exciting in the anime series is watching Ash, finally reach the league (Indigo, Johto, Hoen, Sinnoh), and battle his way from one nail biting match to another. Personally, that is what makes the show in my opinion. However I've seen that ,in the games, they have basically eliminated the region leagues and instead, after getting all 8 badges, I'm forced to go straight to the champions league and vs the elite four and eventually the champion... I wanted to know if it is at all possible to edit the roms of 4th gen games (platinum, HG/SS) to include the regional leagues where you vs super strong ace trainers, including your rival for that regions title....and upon winning the league, you are told that you still have alot to learn and are then allowed onto victory, to make your way to the champions league...battling the elite four and eventually the champion. It would be amazing and quite a payoff to collect all 8 badges and enter, for example, the sinnoh league, and fight your way to victory and title of sinnoh league champion, then attempting victory road. The leagues could be done similar to tv, with qualifying matches leading to quarter final brackets, semi final brackets and eventually the final. Just my two cents.....please let me know if this is at all possible. ps, the arena used for the regional leagues could be those similar to what we see in the battle frontier arenas.....surrounded by crowds etc... Thanks in advance for your replies....

Hey guys, So after playing all Pokemon games available I got kinda bored. I've played ROM-hacks before and decided to make my own one. I already had the tools ready so I gave it a shot. Information below. Information: + ROM-Hack of: Pearl + Language: English + Version: 1.0 + Creator: Welkevintje What's new? + Harder Trainers + Harder Gym Leaders + All 493 Pokemon available (In different routes) + Some Pokemon evolve in different ways + New starters + New in-game trades with useful items. + TM's might contain new moves + Attacks might have a different typing, accuracy, power and an added event. + Some Pokemon like Shuckle, Rattata, Sunkern and alot of other Pokemon have gained some new extra power, legendaries have less power in this hack (I might change the last fact later for the sole reason that there are probably some people that like Arceus and Shaymin alot, if you want me to edit that, just leave me a message) + Alot of Pokemon have new attacks added + Pokemon might have new/different second abilities. Bugs: + When choosing starter it might say/show Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup. This can't be fixed. So here are some spoilers of the starters that you can get (in order): Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. The other starters of all other 3 regions can be caught in the wild. Where, you ask? That's up to you to find out. + Script isn't edited at all (not going to do that, sorry) so while trading in-game or with finding TM's it might be something else. So here is a list of in-game trades, you can obviously see which move TM's include (not alot are changed though). In-game trade spoilers: + Location: Oreburgh City: Machoke for Kadabra @ Full Heal + Location: Eterna City: Luxio for Gabite @ TM42 + Location: Snowpoint City: Venusaur for Gengar @ Leftovers + Location: Route 226: Rotom* for Magikarp @ ??? <-- Find out yourself * Rotom can be caught in different places besides that creepy house-thing in Eterna Forest. If you don't know where to catch Rotom, leave a comment. Tools used: + Swampert22's PokéEditDS + PROMH's PMEDS + Sebbe's Trainer Editor + Sebbe's Gym Editor + PokeSpam's Evolution Editor + Swampert22's DPTradeEd + Swampert22's DPStarterEd + Attack Editor (Creator?) + TM Editor (Creator?) + WEEDP (Creator?) + Pokemon Pearl ROM Credits: Coming Later. If you want to be a beta-tester send me a PM please. Download links will come later. - Welkevintje

If you've clicked on this, then there's a good chance then you know what it constitutes, so I'm not going to explain. If you don't know the theme from reading the title, then click the back button, because you are not needed here. I'll make some more detailed changes to this post later on when I know more, but for now I'll just outline the main plans and I've also attached the progress log, which I'll try to update regularly. Conveniently, there are 8 Gym Leaders and 4 members of the Elite Four, making a total of 12, so these 12 trainers will consist of trolls. I'll attach a file later detailing where each of the trolls will be and what their types will be, as they've pretty much been decided. That's still open for debate though. John/Rose as playable characters, Dave and Jade as rivals/friends, whatever they are. The plan is to create two edits - one where the trolls all have specified types, and one where they do not. In the latter, the Pokémon made available in the wild will be more varied. The mods will be more difficult than the original game. I feel like people who are interested in Pokémon, also interested in Homestuck and are using game hacks will generally be older than 16 and will be experienced playing Pokémon, so I'm sure they'd enjoy a challenge. I'm interested to hear from anybody who feels they have something to contribute to this project, or really anybody who's interested in the idea. Open to suggestions, because the edit is still in its early stages. Edit [19.03.2012]: 295 views and no replies? Seriously? Do we have NO Homestuckers in the house? Edit [21.03.2012]: No, I am not trolling. This webcomic has trolls in it. Edit #1 was an expression of my surprise at the fact that of 295 viewers, there were none that were familiar with Homestuck. I was not complaining about the lack of responses! progresslog 27 03.txt

I know most of you guys have moved on to nds roms, but because I find GBA roms and emulators much easier to work with, I plan on hacking a III generation game. I already have a team of three but I need help, a lot. If you can contribute at all

Name: Spirit Crystal Hack of: Heart Gold Features: - Improved story. The same events happen in the game, only they will have completely new dialogue, with the hero having a voice, responding to the people of Kanto and Johto. - All Pokémon from Kanto and Johto catchable, with new story events for certain legendaries, such as Celebi, Mew and more. - New scripted battles. Several gym leaders may need help before they are ready to challenge you. - Decapitalised Pokémon names. NO MORE SOLID BLOCK CAPITAL NAMES. - A single starter. No more Cyndaquil, Totodile or Chikorita. You will start off with one different starter, and the original starters will be found via one-off events. All of this I know I can do. Here are features I hope to include after getting help and finding out I can do them. - A more populated Kanto. No more 1 and a half trainer per route. - More items lying around. - What other upgrades I can find. Post below if you are interested in helping, or interested in general.

About this hack This is a rom hack of Pokemon Diamond Version. In this hack, I’m trying to make the following changes: Team Plasma is the evil team of this game. You can battle two sages of Team Plasma now. More different Pokemon are seen in the wild. Some Pokemon are edited (Stats of some bug types, dream world abilities, new moves). Trainer and Gym Leader Pokemon are edited. Music is edited. The game has a more 3d-like look(thanks to Spiky Eared Pichu's tutorail on Pokécommunity) I'm actually still looking for someone who can change music in the game and someone who can help me with inserting sprites. I’ve made sprites already but I don’t know how to insert it. Could someone helpful insert the sprites (when I'm done with them) into a Diamond rom and send the narc for the sprites to me, or help me with inserting them? I also would like it if someone told me how I can script in fourth gen (probably with PPRE at some way). I can edit Pokemon and other stuff by myself. If you've enough time on your hands to help me with this hack, just reply to this topic. Screenshots I’ll place screens as soon as I’ve edited sprites into the game. For now I can only show you the sprites I've made so far. Click on the spoiler to see them. Note that the overworlds of B/W are bigger than the overworlds of D/P. Bugs No bugs known, because I haven’t edited the hard part already. Progress Status Still working on the hack in the weekends Downloads I've no idea when I finish the first beta. It depends on how much help I get and how easy the editing is(probably really hard). Sorry if my English is really bad. Let me know what you think of this hack, if you can help me or if you have an idea for a better name. Soon I'm going to improve the layout of this topic, but right now I'm busy with school.

Alright, so first off, this is by no means a pretty thread yet, as i have no screenshots and no download links yet. This will all be changed when the first Beta is finished. Now onto the subject of this hack. This is a hack of Pokemon White that is supposed to make it more difficult. It will contain.... -Edited Pokemon Movesets -Edited Pokemon Stats -Every Battle will be edited -Every TM and evolutionary stone will be available before the E4. -Said Evo Stones will be given to you in greater quantities than just one (Probably 3) -Every Important trainer will have 6 Pokemon -Starters and Monkeys are swapped (you get monkey at beggining and Starter at the Dreamyard)(actually, I need some help from some experienced hackers on how to do this.) -A few moves have had their stats changed. -Only Unovan Pokemon will be in this hack. Here is a changelog of everything I have already done with Pokemon stats and movesets. Also, feel free to give suggestions if you like.

This is a rom edit of pokemon black and white where you can obtain all 649 pokemon. The difficulty of the game has been increased as well as various changes to pokemon moves and the pokemon themselves. Changes from the original versions: -All 649 pokemon are obtainable one way or another. To have version differences in the game, a pokemon may be found later in the game instead of finding it early like the other, or a pokemon may be more common to find. -Another version exclusive is how often you will require to play in a rotation/triple battle. Each game will have more matches of each type of battle. Black Version will continue to have more Rotation battles than white, and White Version will continue to have more Triple battles than black. -All trainers have their pokemon edited. This improves the difficulty in the game and satifies players to have a challenge as they play the game. -Trade evolutions is not required to evolve pokemon that needed to do so before. -Wild pokemon are stronger as well. This helps when level grinding is necessary. -Shaking Grass now contains more rare pokemon. -Dark Grass have tougher pokemon. Attack Mechanic Changes/etc -Critical hit ratio is returned to its former glory. All critical hit moves have been raised back to 25% chance to crit from previous games. -Expect to see secondary effects on moves to happen more often. Various moves have had their secondary effect increased including freezing moves(such as blizzard). -Buffs in stat-boosting moves. Moves such as Howl and Meditate now boost more than just Att. Howl is similar to Dragon Dance, and Meditate is similar to Coil. -Charge moves such as Fly, Dig, Dive are now more powerful and have a secondary effect if it did not before. -SolarBeam is no longer a charge move. It now performs similar to Fire Blast(ACC reduced to 85%. PP reduced to 5, and 10% chance to burn). -Trap moves have similar power to Surf/Flamethrower/etc(Whirlpool/Fire Spin, Sand Tomb, Clamp), or to Vicgrip(Wrap/Bind). -All move changes will be listed below soon. Pending Move Changes -Making Captivate Genderless/SpA version Charm - opinions on this change? Y or N? -Hyper Beam and similar moves - opinions on how the move should change? -Changing type for HM Strength - opinions on which type? Pokemon Type Changes Spinarak/Ariados is now Bug/Dark and movepool now reflects this. Masquerain is now Bug/Water and movepool now reflects this. Volbeat/Illumise is now Bug/Electric and movepool now reflects this. Seviper is now Poison/Dark. Glalie is now Ice/Rock and movepool now reflects this.

The thread will be updated often.

I have been editing attacks using prc_bw. My goal is to make various 'useless' attacks that generally are not beginning moves (like tackle) have improved power, accuracy, additional affects, etc. I have recorded my changes thus far here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvoKYffiN3-zdG42aWpKTjBLdUUxY29GdXZPLXRFSVE&hl=en_US Any constructive comments would be appreciated. I am especially concerned about making moves too powerful. A few notes: - A multi hit move with an additional effect-I think each hit has a separate chance to work, I still have not tested this. - A move that hits multiple opponents will have a separate chance to work per opponent hit (tested) - If I try to give separate probabilities to different stat boosts, like giving flame charge a 10% chance to boost attack as well, then all boosts are triggered as soon as one is, so it doesn't pan out. If people want a patch for this, let me know and I will try and post one. If no one likes the edits, I will wait until they are better to release it.

The main purpose here is to improve all pokémon who need it, through the Editing of moves, abilities and typing combinations by doing minor changes on each pokémon. This will upgrade the usage and battling potential of those pokemon proportionally. Already good pokemon will also be improved (in a non-broken way of course) by giving them new roles or perfecting their skills with things they still lacked. These changes will ensure a whole new and more balanced metagame while at the same time making it more unpredictable and diverse. Another plus is the fact of a dramatical size reduction in tiers. This thread will be use to discuss the fixes i already did for many pokemon so far and to point out any mistakes ive made, or things i might have overlooked when it comes down to making them fair playable and of course to contribute with new ideas (as im runing out of them) for pokemon who still need to be fixed. Another important purpose of this project is to serve as an standard metagame for any Modified Roms who chooses to use it, which will save up time so you can center more in other rom editing areas, but also to bring the competitive aspect of the game into modified roms as well. Just a few extra easy rules to follow here; Be Polite. Use logic when suggesting something. Example; A pokemon with no arms shouldnt be able to learn any punching moves or either have an abilitie such as Iron Fist, unless of course it´s pokedex entry info suggests otherwise. If you can also run down calculations in order to be more accurate. You can also use real world logic if you know what the pokemon is based of or if it fits its theme. Example; Kangaskhan=Kangaroo=Well known Puncher= Iron Fist+Elemental Punches. Or Unown=Unpredictable=Moody+Assist+Metronome+Accupressure. Make sure of using spoilers if you are going to place a large list or something alike. If you dont agree with something, be sure to let us know the reasons behind it. One last hopeful thing, if GF staff ever sees this, they may use various pokémon updates from here to fix some of them. They have done it in the past, so why not later? and you can see proof of this in some of the threads/videos i utilized to pick up some ideas in the credits. I´ll add people or any other materials that helped this project to the credits below here. Just in case, i asked here first; http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?17566-Which-it%B4s-the-Right-Place Note: Remember to give credit if ever using this & PM me if the link is broken. Once we are done with what´s left of this i can finally proceed to make my pokémon Ashinyngray Rom.
