ROM Hack Pokémon Special/Adventures Edition

[RedAlteisen]

Hello! I'm RedAlteisen and I am here to bring my Hack Rom, Pokémon Special Edition to you!​

CURRENT VERSION: 1.2​

LAST UPDATED: 13th September 2012​

Hack for POKÉMON WHITE ONLY​

This is a manga-based Hack Rom. That means you will not face the regular characters, but the MANGA characters that we all love, created by Hidenori Kusaka.​

All of the Unova Gym Leaders and Elite four, including the champion are gone. The "Dex Holders", the most poweful trainers in the world have taken over their roles, and you'll face them to prove that YOU deserve to receive the honor of Being called a Dex Holder.​

SO, IS THIS JUST A SPRITE HACK-ROM? WHATEVER! LATER, POKÉTARD!​

Hold it right there! This is NOT just a Sprite/Overworld/Mugshot hack! MANY THINGS on it have been edited. Evolutions, Pokémon trainers, Wild Pokémon... You know, the things you would find in a hack rom.​

Basically, this hack is a little below some of the Great hacks, such as BB, WW, PB, PW or Pokemon White Deluxe. But that is because this is my first hack. I would really like you to tell me what do you think of this hack as well as suggesting ideas to make it grow and to make it better. I would really appreciate that.​

NOW. THIS IS IMPORTANT. SO, READ IT​

This hack has two features you MUST KNOW BEFORE POSTING, BECAUSE I WON'T ANSWER THEM. YOU ARE WARNED.​

1. For now, this hack is MEANT TO BE PLAYED ON WINTER. This is for those routes in where Pokémon change. Most notably, Route 6 and the Deerling ones. And Twist Mountain. DO NOT FORGET THAT. This should be fixed in a later release.​

2. I have created this hack using a SPANISH hack rom, as I'M Spanish. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE GAME IS IN SPANISH. It's FULLY in english. However, I have not tried in an english rom. If someone tries and it works/does not work, please, PM me.​

I will now post the main features of this Hack Rom. Please, give it a try and tell me what do you think about it. I’d really like to improve this hack, as I am a great fan of both videogame and manga, so please, try and comment.

Features:

-This is a “Clean” hack-rom. This means there are no changes in the Pokémon stats or the moves they can learn. It is like that because it was meant to keep the feeling of playing an original, well-based Pokémon Adventure.

-Many Pokémon now evolve at different levels or in different ways. However, you won’t need to exchange your Pokémon to evolve them. Every single Pokémon can now be obtained by playing normally through the game. Some of them evolve a LOT sooner than before, so you can reach their final stage sooner. I am aware that certain people want their pokémon to learn certain moves before evolving them. When you download my patch, you'll also find a .txt file, in which I have written the New evolution levels or requiriments.

-The trainers and Wild Pokémon have been heavily edited. But don’t expect to see normal trainers with 4-6 pokémon. That’s very rare in this hack. However, the Dex Holders are NOT like that. From the second gym, every Leader will have 6 strong Pokémon, being the first gym with just 4 pokémon per Leader. Rare wild Pokémon can be found since the beginning of the adventure.

-A “new” story. Purely based on Hidenori Kusaka’s manga, I’ve “created” this story, which is slightly different from the original adventure. Cheren and Bianca are no longer your rivals. Instead, you’ll face Hugh, the rival from B2/W2 and White, who is completely based on the Manga.

-Face the strongest trainer, said to be stronger even to the one who is called the master of battle, as he is one of the few who had succesfully beaten this new region champion

Here you have a few screenshots. I would have added more, but i think these will give you an idea of what you'll find in my Manga-Rom

Before giving you the patch, here is a changelog of what has been done so far to the game:

-Changelog:
Version 1.0 First Release
-ALL text edited. Wild Pokémon and Trainers edited up to Ghetsis battle. No post-game yet, but the champion and the elite four have been fully edited. Cynthia's replacement still on work.
-Wild Pokemon Edited. Shaking grass up to Route 3. Surfing and fishing not yet.
-Mugshots Edited
-Battle Sprites Edited
-Overworld fully completed. Some of them need to be fixed.

Version 1.2 Release:

-More Wild Pokémon in Spring/Autumm/Summer routes
-A few trainers are Fixed
-More text edit
-Blue and Silver overworlds improved
Finally, a request from me.

Spoiler

I would like someone to help me with Zekrom's level. As the N battle is far superior from it's original level, I would like to edit Zekrom so he does not become Useless in the fight.

And finally, the patch.

WTF!? luvdisc has an evolution?

[EbraamMorcos]

i kind of like this

 

[Black-Ice]

Hello! I'm RedAlteisein ​

Hey red,
You spelt your own name wrong
Good luck dude

 

[RedAlteisen]

HA! Good one, black ice. I also used that name on other forums. Guess my hand slipped.

Thank you. For everything. Seriously.

 

[broitsak]

Cool, this looks promising. Good luck Red.

 

[weavile001]

one question, NOW,is the winter for you?

 

[Drayano]

Zekrom's level is pretty easy to change.

Spoiler

Open up the a/0/5/7 file with a hex editor - you can use Hex Workshop, Cygnus Hex Editor Free Edition, etc. Any of them will do the trick. Once you've got that up, search for the following string - "78 01 84 02 32". The 84 02 stands for Zekrom's number (84 02 = 284 flipped, and 284 in hexadecimal/base-16 is 644 in decimal/base-10 (our normal number system). When you've got that, change the "32" (which is the hexadecimal equivalent of the base-10 50) to whatever level you want. If you use Windows, I'd recommend using the programmer version of the calculator on that to change between the number systems. You can probably also find an online converter on Google.

I think there's two instances of the "78 01 84 02 32" so you might need to change both. But yeah, it's very easy. Lemme know if you need any more help.

Oh, and nice idea for a hack btw. :]

 

[RedAlteisen]

Thank you, Drayano. I will try it.

Also, thanks to everybody else who is interested by the Hack. Wish someone made a Walkthrough, or something. That would really make my day.

Weavile001. I don't really get what you said, but if you play on a flashcard, you should just change the month for it to be winter. Or something like that.

 

[weavile001]

i said: if now, september 10, is winter?

 

[Black-Ice]

i said: if now, september 10, is winter?

No still autumm, but the point is that it doesnt matter what season it is, the ds can be changed.
Thats all

 

[RedAlteisen]

Let me check. Nope. It seems to be spring. However, there are very few routes in the main story affected by seasons, so you shouldn't worry.

 

[weavile001]

ok i get it, but ´m using an emulator, my 3ds doesnt have a flashcard yet

 

[RedAlteisen]

I think there are ways to change the season. Although i don't really use them.

By the way, I forgot to say, but I would like anyone who tries this hack to report any bugs. Most probably, text and overworlds.

Edit: No bugs? I'm impressed..,

 

[weavile001]

no bugs, i´m on nacrene gym

 

[RedAlteisen]

Have you used the "Training Zone"? Oh, by the way, what about the in-game?

 

[weavile001]

in-game is good, but if i were you, i would put hugh´s battle theme in this hack,extract it from pkmn w 2.

 

[lewyp1]

Nice hack Red, but i've got to ask what the hell could Basculin actually evolve into...?

 

[RedAlteisen]

Nice hack Red, but i've got to ask what the hell could Basculin actually evolve into...?

When I first started B/W, I couldn't help but remembering a certain pokémon from gen III that reminded me A LOT of basculin. Then, in this hack, I made basculin evolve to that Pokémon.

I think i've said enough, xD

 

[ultrab]

Now tell me Red xD, how the hell i patch the game, ive tried all 3 tools that came in RAR and the one i usually use the xDelta.GUI select patch and rom dont work, makes a ROM with 0 bytes, can you pls tell me how exactly to do pls ? Ty
