How to create my own pokemon game for nds fash cards

what? no.

[NDS]Edge's question pertains to a personal project. Furthermore, since it was posted here, we've built up a few people willing to work on the project.

 

Still running? There's people to work on the audio part?

 

^not yet. Wanna join?

 

Yup

 

can i help with the storyline maybe?

 

Oh, on that way...

 

So you guys are getting a team to make a NDS game?

 

Yup. I WILL CREATE THE TEXT! Nah, just joking. I made a tutorial on how to use thenewpoketext, but it's buried somewhere in the forums.

 

wow. [NDS]Edge started this thread, we're all willing to pitch in, and he's gone. @.@ Anyways, according to the previous signups, we've currently got:

m64m ----- pokemon design, world design, story development, or maybe some other stuff.
Dime ------ Heavy programming
MR4Y ----- Audio
1jackass - storyline
mikeac - text? maybe? please? XD

From what I gather, it's possible, but we'll need to do some intensive work. I think it'll probably be worth it. First thing we need to determine is:

What will the Version name be? (y'know, Emerald, Yellow, Platinum, etc.)

(I'm currently checking on another forum I visit to make sure Pokemon on DS is fully hackable. From there, we'll determine a version that would be easiest to hack (D/P/P, or HG/SS)).

 

Sounds like they're using tools to modify the existing commercial games. I doubt any actual programming is involved.

 

If mikeac doesn't do the text (dialogs) I can do that to...
Just offering

 

Pokemon Fusion is cool name, with fusion pokies ;D
Or:Skyblue, Treebrown, Snowwhite, Darkblack etc. white

 

Actually, I'm finding it quite hard to find good tools. For NSMB, there's a single editor, and for Pokemon, they're all over the place. I'm sure we'll have quite a bit of programming involved. Nothing major, but enough that I'm not capable of (I suck at programming >.>)

YES! Thanks. I'm collecting all the tools now, so I think it'd be much less stressful if we all posted our ideas/developments here (or maybe I'll make a different thread, since this one was originally a question), and I put them all into a working rom.

This, we can use. And by this, I mean the matching names. One could be normal Pokemon, and then the other could be fusion/original ones. Not feeling the names yet, but it's coming along. Keep going =D

Update on which series we're going to use:

Looks like we have to use Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. HG/SS is too fresh, and I could only find a Gym battle editor. Many more tools exist for D/P/P. Therefore, I'll use a Platinum (U) rom (unless platinum encounters issues, whereas I'll use a Diamond (U) rom).

~~~

UPDATE 2 -

Here are the tools I currently have. I haven't tested any of them, just opened, but it looks like most of them only work for D/P, and shifty for Pl.

PMEDS - Pokemon Moveset Editor
PPRE - Project Pokemon
SPEDP - Edit the Starter Pokemon
WPEDS - Wild Pokemon Editor
PokeTEX - Pokemon Editor?
PokeText - Text Editor
PDEDS - Pokemon Data Editor
TGPE - ? Won't Load.
thenewpoketext - Won't Load.
PokeDSPic - Pokemon Editor?
PokeEdit Ds - Edit Pokemon Stats, plus more (works with Platinum)

How come TheNewPokéText won't load? Do you have DStool in the same directory?
Ow and PPRE doesn't give much help 'cause it is in béta stage (for HG/SS) but if you're hacking D/P/Pt then it give a hand!
And PokéTEX is a program used mainly for overworld sprite edition. And you should work with TheNewPokéText instead of PokeText, because PokéText can't handle one line with over 300 characters... (or is that just with mine?)
Hope that helped a little

And: I'm sure I can help with the text, because my patch is finished and I have free time now

 

I have a file called 'ndstool.exe'. That's the closest thing.

yeah, that's why I decided to go with D/P/Pt, cause HG/SS is too recent.

I actually only have both because they were included in a package of Pkmn hacking tools I found.

Much appreciated =D First thing I want to do though is find a map editor. I found one for GBA called Elite Map, but it doesn't work for D/P/Pt, and I haven't found one yet.

 

i can help with the storyline if you guys let me

 

finally got it working. downloaded from a different location that had all the component files. Now, I don't know how to use it. I type in the directory of the rom into the cmd that opened, and it gave me four options. get, getall, patch, and quit. I tried to utilize the getall, but it epic failed. any help?

OK, I have some new names
Zero, Rain, Blizzard, Orange, Burningred, Calmgreen, Stronggrey, Hardrock, Softstone, Evolution, Soapstone, Alabaster, Limestone, Marble, Granite, Rosemary, Ginger, Almond, Ignis, Aqua ...... I think I just stop, they're really bad.... Sorry, tried to.

 

some are pretty decent. Granite was used on a GBA hack. I think once we start the hack and get it as a hosted project on RomU, we'll do a vote with names.

 

I think that it's a lot easier to mod pokemon than make one from scratch. It will take a long time...
