It's hard to trust hack makers who can't grasp basic English concepts... nothing puts me off more about a hack than terrible English. It ruins the immersion. Even popular hacks like FloraSky and Red Story have huge grammar and spelling mistakes.

Well, I forced myself to work through that bewildering wall of text, and I was like woah :blink: You might want to prioritize personal hygiene over Pokehax.

First of all, you're only allowed to have ONE username. You now have THREE. Choose between Pikacute08 OR Pikacute09, and use ONE account from now on. I don't understand why you keep creating new accounts, it's not like the other two accounts were deleted.

I have suspended your ability to post with this account (ThePikacutefreak08). If you want to post here, login using one of your older accounts. Whichever one you use, will be the one you keep. The other accounts will need to be be deleted by the staff.

Nice, shiny graphics on the surface, but is this something worthy of its own "threat?" I kind of stopped reading after the "About" section. I currently don't have enough brain power to decipher the rest.

Requesting deletion of dupe (and triplicate) accounts:

I will change the about to make it more near the game instead of boring you also the account I want to delete is pikacute08 as I forgot the password and Pikacute09 as I don't like the name the one I want to keep is the pikacutefreak08 cuz I like it

Done. Don't create dupe accounts ever again.

Merged with the screening thread.
Please read the first post, thanks!

Well, as you can see, that isn't a "poorly-formatted, poorly-worded project" or a "no more than a color swap of sprites or some other insignificant "hack" that adds absolutely nothing to the replay value of the original game". I don't know if you have ever played HGSS, but I can assure you that is completely different than the original ROM.

Cool for me, but you've probably missed the HUGE part in red.

Hey I'm doing a pokemon logo project, translating them direct from the japanese, "using the same font" and stuffs (look here, and here)
I wen I finish I was thinking about opening for doing that for the hacks if the people like to sue this on their project, or just give the idea, I know some fans are tired of the untouchable yellow and blue toystory like one xD For now, not accepting request but I want some feedback to know how you guy would like it ...

Has anyone made a HG/SS hack that is like a remade, extended version of R/B/Y?

There is one in progress, to my knowledge. It's called Pokemon Heart Red. As far as I know it's still in development and the current version goes up to the second badge, more or less.

So do you start off with one of the three starters, or will there be a special pikachu edition?

I got a question. Can I trade in between those roms and to a full game? I mean, if there is a hack, with no new pokemon or anything like that, all vanilla content with remade maps ect, can I trade my pokemon to say, platinum or heartgold? And if only few select rom hacks allow that, could anyone point me in that direction?

The games will be coded as their respective games, so trading should work fine. Haven't tried myself but it makes sense

As long as the data for the union room/battle room wasn't touched, it should work fine. I wonder if this would work on a game like The blue remake in Heartgold engine, there were some changes made to actual pokemon like different stats and attacks, I wonder if they could be traded to actual cartridges via a R4 card.

I believe it all works fine. The problem would just be that if you want to enter an official tournament and the stats or the location the Pokemon was caught doesn't make sense Nintendo will definitely catch you.

PDoD, Pokémon: Dawn of Darkness is quickly becoming the worlds best (free to play) Pokémon MMORPG available. We have frequent updates and a community growing quicker by the day, this is due partially to the fact we have designed a custom game region and also game engine, not based upon any content you've experienced before brought to you in our own style. This also keeps us flexible in the way we can bring forward new improvements as the engine is developed by us we're able to implement almost anything within the boundaries of our imagination if the idea fits. There isn't going to be many online Pokémon experiences which can provide this for storylines while also providing an engaging competitive scene.



While our main recruitment focus is currently for Artists and Scripters - if you have a talent you think could be of use and are passionate about being creative, we would love to hear from you. You will be joining an established team of around 10 dedicated members already. Even if you would just like to help by downloading and testing the game, reporting the errors you find along the way you are welcome to join our community and promise you will enjoy your stay. Please Note: We are not looking for additional programmers.

Currently the Game Engine supports the following:

- A Stable & Secure Game Server, with 99.9% uptime based on the last 12 months worth of statistics
- Selectable Player Avatars, 12 during registration and 100 available through playing the game. Hundreds of NPC sprites available too.
- Almost 250 in game items, including TMs, various Pokeballs, Potions, Status Cures and others.
- Over 400 in game maps, even every single house in PDoD is unique
- Pokémon up to Gen 4 included, current spawns allow for Pokedex competion of roughly (480/493)
- Nicknamers, Move Tutors, Shops, secure trading, PvP Matchmaking, High Scores and even an elite level difficulty nuzlocke game mode.
- Community built project, feel inspired to create your own levels? storylines/quests? Get involved.
- To add a little icing to the cake, the project is updated all the time and will always remain free to play!


Thank you for taking the time to read our topic, please visit www.pdod.net to enjoy the game, you may also want to contact our Game Staff regarding any positions you are interested in. I have decided to go in to further details about the positions available below for anyone which is interested. Before reading further I would like to stress that this is a hobby project, therefore all of the members of the team are here on a voluntary basis. Our goal is to be creative and be able to enjoy these creations with our community.


Graphics
For a Graphics Team position, please create a Showcase topic showing your skills in the Graphics Section of the Forum, this will allow us to review your skills and allow our team and community provide advise to help you improve and/or adapt to suit the style of artwork the game requires. Alternatively if you are confident you may contact the head developer (admin) via the forums.

Pixel Artists (2)
We would like to expand our selection of player avatars, npc sprites, tileset artwork and Pokémon form variations.

Digital Artists (2)
This would be for artists capable of rendering things like background images, interface work, website artwork and other styles of art too.


World Scripters (3)
PDoD has it's own scripting language which has been designed from the ground up to be as simple to learn as possible staying as close to written English as possible, although this still leaves us open to more complex processing when it's required. This means anyone with any kind of basic scripting, programming or even web development experience would be able to pick the language up with ease. These users are what bring our NPC's to life, making them able to behave differently based on in game events & achievements or starting a fierce duel. The NPC Scripting Team also have the task of turning the Quest Writers work in to real in-game Quests so you don't have to be creative in a storyline sense to be able to get involved either.

I finished your game on GBA and I can say that it was one of the best Pokemon hack I ever played. ^^ The only bad point was that the second region was quite short compared to the first one.
