Not entirely sure if this would be the most appropriate sub-board, but it seems more legitimate then in tech sections... What I'm thinking is banding together with some other people to design a pokemon hack of my own. What gave me the idea was reading too many creepy/pastas of "creepy black" and the like.
I won't clutter up the topic with details when I'm only in the more primitive stages of even thinking about what I would implement. But essentially, I'd need people who know what they're doing. As I know next to nothing about programming. What I'm thinking though is after we've completed it, we can upload the hack to Vizzed and it'd be great to see one of our own games up as playable.
Being on 4chan's /vp/ is helping me come up with some ways to make it more enjoyable. If anyone wishes to contact me and talk further about it, you can reach me on skype at jimprofit6. I forewarn you, my mic for some reason does not work over skype. So it'll have to be typing chat.
Again, unsure if this is the right board to be having this kind of thing. But I figured I'd love to hear other people's input as well. I don't want to give away all the surprises, but some things I do have in-store are...
The randomizer mod. (So you can catch any pokemon. Legendaries, evolutions, etc. And never have to worry about the same pokemon emerging out of the bushes.)
Cheap, affordable masterballs. (To make catching what you want easier. Also they'd be available in the first town so you can actually go about catching monsters immediately.)
Evolutions without the need for trading. (Goes without saying.)
Much more items to be found. Possibly even randomly generated loot system where everytime you enter a screen there's a chance of an item appearing.
Unrealiable marts. (They'll still exist... but with a catch. Don't want to give that away.) But with easily accessible swag, it shouldn't pose too much of a problem.
A storyline I'm cooking up, brand new starters, new attacks, and a complete reinventing of pokemon's types.
All of this, and I still have not shown the aces up my sleeve. I'm thinking as far as the name goes, it'll be "Pokemon Profit Gold". Yeah... I'm kind of a ham... lol! But in honor of whoever helps me out, (I hope through this project we can come to be good friends : ) ) we'll incorporate new gym leaders and elite four members named after the programmers. Can make them super awesome with a line of pokemon they'd want and such. Thus there's all sorts of surprises regardless of the individual game we use as a drawing board. (I'd think the newer ones would be better to make less of a work-load and more options. For example, if we were to use gen2 gold/silver, it would certainly be easy to bring in other generation pokemon through respriting and attack configurations. But it would leave out all the cool abilities, weather conditions, multi-battles, and other possibilities.)
