FireRed hack: Pokémon Lunar Aurora

[vietazn654]

Pokémon Lunar Aurora
Hack of:

Introduction:
My name is Soul. I'm a decent hacker, if you dunno that. I'm pretty good, actually. =p I HAD 4 hacks, and 1 that I released 3 alphas on. That hack was... Destiny. But now, I'm doing something totally new. A hack I like to call, Pokemon Lunar Aurora. It's a remake of Platinum, actually. =] But the story is a little mixed up.

Story:
Your friend, Barry barges in your room and tells you to meet him on Route 201. So you go there. When Prof. Rowan catches you two trying to go in tall grass without a Pokemon, he decides to give you one. But the consequences are, he chooses one for you. =\ You get a Turtwig. Hey! At least you get the advantage when battling your rival who gets a Piplup! Ehh.. Anyways, after that, your real adventure starts. Team Galactic--back and good as ever! Cyrus doesn't want a new world this time... He has heard of the Lunar Duo, Darkrai and Cresselia. He has heard that Darkrai can make endless nightmares, and Cresselia can blind people with her bright moonlight. So, he decides to catch them, with Team Galactic, and his plan is to make all of Sinnoh turn to dark, so he can rebuild Sinnoh into HIS new world. He thinks its easier than catching the Dragon Trio.

Features:
-Team Galactic has a new plan
-Cynthia battles you before the Pokemon League
-New starter
-Anime locations are in this hack
-New tiles
-New sprites/OW
-New scripts

Maps:

FAQ:
Q: How do you patch an IPS/APS file?
A: Go here

Awards:
None yet

Bugs:
On Route 201, the clerk who gives you a Potion has messed up text when giving you it
Don't nickname your Pokemon, or the script will automatically end (Fixed, deleted it)

Team:
Only me. I prefer working on my own. But, I might change my mind later on.

Platinum remakes are awesome, but don't you think that you should
only focus on 1 Hack at a time?

I agree. But nevertheless, its looking good! I never got to play Pt so I will be looking forward to this for sure. Good luck!

 

[dragoniteuser]

It looks good so far, and if you can handle 4 hacks at the same time you go for it, just don't use that as an excuse for slacking off, or not completing them (not that you do)!
I really like the hero's ow.
Are other ows (lass, bug catcher, hiker, ...) gonna be changed or kept as fire red ows?

Which is why Destiny is on hold until those bugs get deleted.

Yeah. But you should play it so you can see the big differences. xD;

I'll change them. Oh and, those 4 hacks, are done. I'm not going back to them. Maybe Destiny but... =p I'll edit it now so people know that those were past projects.

UPDATE:

My ugly map of Lake Verity is here. =]
Tell me all the comments you have on it, because I'm going to need it when I map Lake Acuity and Lake Valor. =p
By the way, the beta will have hopefully the first two gyms--and some leaders are gone. =p
EDIT: New screenie. =]

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

The map is not really ugly, to be honest. It's more like the original Lake Verity map, that's all.

 

[Faline]

Another Sinnoh remake. :]

But this one stands among the rest. (What I mean is that there are so many hackers that tried to make a sinnoh remake but failed.) I'm just hoping that you'll finish this since you got the potential to do so.

I can't see any problems so I guess, Good luck.

So far it seems good, but I hope that this will not be Diamond or Pearl or even Platinum story

You'd know if you read the story. It's events are like D/P/Pt, but the main are about Cresselia and Darkrai.

I have a question. In your introduction, you said that Cynthia battles you before
the Pokemon League. Now, the question is: How many times is she gonna battle ya?
Where is she gonna battle you?

 

[jackjt8]

is there a beta yet?
i will like to try this

 

[Quilava's Master]

Barry's OW looks unfinished. The MC's OW looks good though. Not really a fan of the washed out look that the grass/tree's have but meh, thats a personal preference.

UPDATE: Here are some new maps I created for Lunar Aurora.

 

[iKnow]

Ahh, another IV Gen remake with great potential to be finished. I certainly enjoy seeing remakes, but eventually get disappointed when the creator stops working on it. :( hopefully you'll be able to finish this one. Everything is looking wonderful. Are you going to include the temple?

Great hack... I've always wanted to play Platinum, but all the emulators are not suitable for emulating a DS successfully... So thanks for making this hack, It will be a great thing to play my favorite Pokemon game that was ever RELEASED!!! :D

GOOD LUCK with you on this hack!!! If you'd ever need a spriter of both OW's and Battle sprites, just contact me, and i'll be glad to help...

THanks!!! :D
