Pokémon Cyan ~ DEMO 1 (two Gyms) OUT

Sherkel · 2011-06-23 13:15:07

Pokémon Cyan is what I intend to make a high-tier Pokémon hack, with Red as the base. While knowledge of how to hack the first generation is abundant, tools aren't. Tools are programs which alter the ROM in ways that make hacking easier and faster. The multitude of tools for use in Generation III has led to an immense amount of hacks in that Generation. I, out of my affinity for the first generation and the amount of hacks in later generations, decided to take on the challenge of hacking a less popular generation.

Pokémon Cyan's main selling point, other than being a hack of Red, is its lack of adhesion to rules generally taken for granted. Absurd warps can often indicate an inept hacker, but they will be present in Cyan and used in a way that enhances the game experience. There is much more in terms of unusualness, but it will be revealed as this hack progresses.

Without further ado, here is a planned feature list:
- Heavy map edits
- New attacks
- Many minor graphic edits (NPC's, objects)
- Text edits (expect some sort of humor)
- Possible music edits
There are more minor things, of course, but you will see them eventually.

Additional credits:
Iron Nidow - Yellow sprites patch
Mateo - Some tiles

Progress is being made, but I consider myself having just barely begun, so no progress estimates yet.

It's actually the sprite from Yellow. :P

Sawakita · 2011-07-03 18:34:20

@Tombstoner: shouldn't you credit Iron Nidow for that Yellow-version-sprites-in-Red-version patch?

Agreed. I've never seen the point of decapitalizing everything.

Cute.

Eh, it’s a matter of taste. I prefer natural capitalization.

Sherkel · 2011-07-03 21:52:53

There is some credit due...let me add it.
@IIMarckus/kkj1116 Thanks!

why dont you use sprites from gsc and then change their pallets into rby? Just suggesting.

I don't have the first idea how to change sprites.

Cheestendo · 2011-07-04 07:37:21

bug:''Kao's Pad'' when you walk into the hole in kaos pad you end up in your house. warp error.
graph bugs: roof needs to replace colors with 1 with 2, ahh the door is a part of the wall? :D put a 1 line there so it looks like it ends somewhere,
bug: movement bug when you go out of town, that oak guy walks through some graphically not-beautiful rocks or something.
bug: kao walks into you in the lab. when you choose ryhorn/and why does he have nidorino?
bug: walk out of gym end up in mart's warp.
bug: or is it? walk into the house next to gym , it looks like your room , mom heals you , walk out end up in gym's warp./

Not actually an error, just didn't know where else to warp to.

Not sure what you mean.
bug: movement bug when you go out of town, that oak guy walks through some graphically not-beautiful rocks or something.
Had to block the lab somehow because of the passage to Route 1.
bug: kao walks into you in the lab. when you choose ryhorn/and why does he have nidorino?
Logged already.
bug: walk out of gym end up in mart's warp.
Originally was going to leave the warps weird, but may as well fix.
bug: or is it? walk into the house next to gym , it looks like your room , mom heals you , walk out end up in gym's warp./
Cyan's weird approach to a Pokémon Center.
and what? fire pokemon are awesome.
Xalron prefers Normal types.

Cheestendo · 2011-07-04 17:25:00

whaaat? kaos pads warp error is a bug , you should fix that it goes back to where you came in! and in pewter after walking out of gym u end up at a wall.
about that graph bug , you have the bug what usually agixp gives you , in the place where should be color 1 there is color 2 , and where is color 2 there is color 1.

Luna · 2011-07-04 18:22:46

Cheesetendo, did you just imply that he is using AGIXP to hack Red?

Cheestendo · 2011-07-04 19:41:17

of course not i know that agixp doesn't work with red, i just said that he has the same error that has agixp.

dooshboi · 2011-07-04 20:27:19

I don't understand the plot, the sprites and asthenics are well done, but the mapping is weird and the characters don't make too much sense...

Luna · 2011-07-04 21:31:44

@cheesetendo, my apologies, I misread the post and thought you were saying he probably got the bug by using AGIXP.

@Tombstoner, I'll try to check this out soon

Sherkel · 2011-07-04 21:37:25

There's not really much of a plot.
Team Nido replaces Team Rocket, Kao is your rival, that's about all the changes.
I've fixed the warps and some capitalization already; I'll likely release a "revision" when I've fixed everything and added more stuff. I had done it already, but I think I saved to the wrong ROM somehow, and so the demo has some errors I didn't expect.

Miksy91 · 2011-07-07 16:28:09

Haha :D
"This world is inhabited by Nidorino"

Anyway, just started playing the hack and looks good this far :)

koolboyman · 2011-07-08 19:40:38

Please clear out the original map before making your own. I can tell what maps they originally were. Also I really didn't like it, too easy, glitches are everywhere, lots of things unchanged from the unoriginal, etc.

Don't get discouraged though, keep trying. I saw that tiny ASM addition video and it looks like you're on the right track. Although if I were you, I'd simply get a fresh Red ROM and start over from scratch.

Whoa it's KBM!! :O
Thanks for all of your comments. @KBM, I wanted to make it still be the Kanto Town Map, but I will partially take your advice and clear out the maps and rebuild those, unless that's what you meant. I've already improved the Gym Leaders in accordance with more testing; the warps are a bit weird ATM, but that's what I get for using a tool for maps. I'll fix the warps with hex most likely.
Also, seeing as it involves one of the glitches, does anybody know where the script's located where the rival walks up to pick a Pokemon?

80C · 2013-04-27 21:27:14

Cyan, I like this color =)

Has this hack changed in these 2 years?
It was simple but it was funny (love 2 much the name changer!), keep it trying!

80C · 2013-05-04 22:54:41

Could I help you with this hack?
I could fix all these warp glitches, I already did that in the demo release, just let me know if you're interested.

Yes, KBM's right, that's the best way to build new cities.

Anyway, I like that "epic script" in Viridian City that changes your player name!
