Pokemon Chrome [2013 Demo Release!]

Melash · 2013-01-26 01:45:54

Hack of: Pokemon Gold
Hack Name: Pokemon Chrome

Introduction:
Hello everyone. It's me, Melash! Some of you may remember me, some may not. I'm the dude behind AncientEmerald. I've been in the ROM Hacking Scene since 2008. It's been on and off since then because of, well, life. However, I've finally gotten my hack complete enough for a Demo release. This is the first hack I've actually released playable content for. So..let's delve into this hack a little bit!

Storyline:
Prepare for a brand new experience. Chrome is far from your staple Pokemon game. You live on the peak of Mt.Lagna, a small town isolated from the outside world. Despite it being your 16th birthday, your overprotective mother forbids you from getting a Pokemon. It seems as though an adventure isn't a possibility. Or is it? I don't want to give away any of the storyline, just play it and see what happens!

Features:
-Completely redone game
-Two brand new regions
-Revamped graphics, including custom tiles and devamps
-All scripts are fresh and new
-Running Shoes added in (Credit to Koolboyman)
-Brand new storyline
-No more UPPERCASE PROPER NOUNS. Everything is lowercase.
-Tons of other features. Just play and see for yourself.

Screenshots:
Here's what you've all been waiting for. Enjoy:

Credits:
Koolboyman - Running Shoes, some tiles and inspiration from his hack
Miksy91 - Helped fix some glitches
Tauwasser - Amazing Scripting Compendium
Mateo - Cool dude, answered a lot of questions for me
Storm118 - My best friend. Helped out a ton with ideas. The Demo wouldn't be completed without him.

Download:

Demo Notes:
The Demo allows you to travel to two towns, three routes, and two dungeons. If there are any glitches you discover please post them here.
Known Glitches:
-The Town Map labels are not finished
-Blacking out can sometimes cause you to start at the beginning of the game
-The gate at Ceples City is the end of the Demo.

Looks amazing, mate! Looking forward to finally getting to play this!

Storm118 · 2013-01-26 03:37:54

The game is epic. I will be doing a live broadcast, Sunday Night, of the game. Stay tuned for where It will be at. I will show all the things you might not have found out yourself.

Started my file, then the game just crashed. I named my guy, then when it was supposed to be the overworld the game went back to the boot screen (2012 MELASH - which is nomally Game Freak, Nintendo, Pokémon, Creatures Inc.)

rupert213 · 2013-01-26 15:49:14

Try the Mediafire download and see if that works for you. I find it odd that it crashed though. Let me know if you get it working! What emulator are you using?

Glitch Report Time! - 7.5 Glitches so far

1: Only your house plays Pallet Town's music, everywhere else in your hometown plays New Bark Town's music (besides for the lab of course). Probably an oversight. Either the rest of the town is supposed to play Pallet Town's music, or the player's house is supposed to play New Bark Town's music.

2: You can get all three starters: If you talk to Prof. Yew at his computer again after already getting your Pokemon, the whole "I have a Pokemon to give to you" script starts all over again. Of course, this can lead to you getting three parcels and getting stuck in the side room if you decide to follow him a fourth time :P
2.5: It even can trigger another glitch: If you talk to Prof. Yew a second time and don't follow him, the girl who lost her earrings will let you pass without ever having talking to Prof. Yew in Vallecia City, ignoring the trigger, and "magically" disappearing from Route 201 and reappearing in Route 202 as a trainer when you enter it.
48kCzSqM Rv2U96Sv CcQJ3qVV

3: Apparently, your starter will be holding a Berry pretending to be a TERU-SAMA.
QkuPQRj0 UFCVVh8k

4: Krystal will reappear if you walk away (making her go offscreen), and then go back. She will only disappear forever if you go back to Vallecia City (it does not matter if you talk to the Prof.) and then go back to Route 201.

5: This guy doesn't face you when you talk to him.

6: And this lady doesn't even talk to you; she just crashes the game (black screen and last music note plays forever until reset for me).
WMcJWd1T

7: This house plays Azalea Town's music possibly due to oversight.

I will continue to update this post until you respond, then I will make new posts. I'm using BGB to play the game, just in case you need to know.

Thank you so much for the detailed glitch report and screenshots to go along with it. All of those are easily fixable and I'll get started on them. Definitely let me know what else you find!

virus95x · 2013-01-26 18:30:15

When I select the name and goes to the game screen it crashes something java exception run error... just like furanki said my crashes but differently.. what java you used creating your game?

Munchulax beat me to the bug fix! I'd also like to add, however:
In the beginning map, when you "fall" into the hole-in-the-ground warp, you don't "fall" from above. It acts more like a stairs warp.
Your house plays Pallet Music while the outside plays another.
You don't even have to talk to Yew in the first room at all; you can simply walk to the side room and grab the PokeBalls.
I've got to say that the "maze" in Ceples Forest is an amazing maze.

Okay, thanks for glitch reports.

And thanks for the compliment, I worked pretty hard on that map.

No problem. I'll definitely keeping playing and posting glitches!

I knew I was forgetting a couple of things, and I know there's still something else that hasn't been posted yet, but I can't remember. I was going to post the "hole-in-the-ground warp" oversight, but forgot. As for the Yew oversight, I didn't notice that, and it's funny because I went in and out of that room so many times and never thought of trying that. :P

I know, right? It really is an actual maze.

Munchulax · 2013-01-26 18:56:35

Ah, I remember now!

Here it is:

Maybe you could clean up the little war that happened up there on Route 203? :P

Looking great so far! I have a couple of additional bugs to report as well.

1. There do not seem to be any wild pokemon in the forest.
2. The sign in front of the gate house after leaving the forest makes the game crash.

Those are the only bugs so far that I found that weren't already reported. Also I have to agree, that was an amazing design in the forest. Nice to have a real maze to go through.

I want and i play on mobile phone, and by what i've seen so far your java game doesn't support the java that my phone has...my phone is sony ericsson k810i

The error that shows up is:

An error has occurred
(error//20
java.lang.RuntimeException
fc)

virus95x · 2013-01-26 21:50:48

Now it's fine but when the game screen appears then I'm stuck and can't do anything...

I tried the mediafire link too, it's probably the fact I'm using VisualBoy Advance as my emulator.
