Armaada J

Hey everyone this run IS NOT DEAD!!! :) I just got done with finals which means I'll actually have time to release the next chapter later this week!

Hey everyone, I'm done with finals which means I actually have time to work on this now! Right now I'm working on editing sprites to put in the ROM(which range in quality from Okay to Terribad on account of me being a rookie). My first objective is to have everything up through the first gym completed by the end of June. I figure that's a decent amount of time for a first time hacker to get ~1/9 of the hack done.

I used the randomizer. Its somewhere on the forum

For now I won't be changing trainers, but on of the goals is to replace gym leaders with characters. Also, certain characters will be added as npcs

Hey everyone, just wanted to establish that this is still happening. I have about 4 weeks of school left, then I can actually put more time into making this. I've been learning to use the tools I'll need to make this hack, and I've made a few sprites for the game. Once I have made enough sprites, I will start actually putting them into the game. Hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have made enough progress to at least release a satisfactory beta. Thanks again to everyone who has shown interest and support in this project!

I didn't actually know that about Camus/Sirius, but I was actually considering removing him anyway. EDIT: Just to be clear, I am still going to be making edits tot his doc as I go along.

OK guys, after much thought and deliberation I decided that rather than compromise on characters that I want to be in the game, I would just go a bit above 151 and try to manage it. So, here is the first full draft of the Pokemon: Fire Emblem Edition (Working title) Dex, with 185 characters!!!! (Including evolutions and legendaries). https://docs.google.com/document/d/14pocqPOEZqtefnxTWCsF9II9CR5br4CogcvsAGqW7EU/edit?usp=sharing One thing you may notice right away is the lack of typings and evolution methods. That's because I don't plan on releasing all of them at once. I'll release a few here and there as development goes on, but I can't spoil all of my surprises not can !? ;) Also, most of the evolutions for now are marked with numbers (so it goes like Marth->Marth 2->Marth 3) - I'll add names later.

The thing is I can have more than 151 pokemon in the game, but I'm a beginner so I'm trying to take it slow. What I'll probably end up doing is have a list of all the characters I'm putting in the game but they won't all be in at once. I'll add them as development goes on.

Yes basically.

So I forgot to mention this but Leif will be this hack's equivalent of the Dragonite line. Also tomorrow I will post a Dex list of about 190-ish characters (including evolutions). If you guys think there's a character or evolution that is unnecessary please let me know. Even though I could have more than 151 pokemon, I'd really prefer not to since my hacking-knowledge is still beginner level.

Hopefully you're right. I was going to give Karel and Marcus evos, but if they take up too much room I won't. Hopefully I can get the list down to that range, since I'd have to remove 30 characters as it is.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/14pocqPOEZqtefnxTWCsF9II9CR5br4CogcvsAGqW7EU/edit?usp=sharing How does this look so far? It's been narrowed down quite a bit. Don't worry if a character you wanted originally was removed; they may appear as an npc. The goal number is 77-80 characters on this list, which will give enough room for evolutions and/or legendaries(which will likely be main antagonists). So if there is anyone on this list who you think works better as an npc or trainer, let me know.

No this list is only "catchable" charcters

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ERfmR_E4M66d57cRUzvjK_HVNtkFPYVI3VOXVsnUFbg/edit?usp=sharing This is where I am now. I'd be comfortable with the final hack even having 151-200 characters, but this list doesn't account for evolutions. Aside from the starters, most characters will only promote once, if they do at all. So if we can get the list down to the 70-80 range we'll be set.

Alright guys at this point I'm only gonna accept removal suggestions for FE9/10, since it currently has way more characters than any other game. I won't do the add suggestions until then.

So I've been able to thin out the cast a bit, but clearly the main issue here is the sheer number of Tellius characters. I've got it down to 48 of the and that number needs to be much closer to 30. I know the people who've commented so far say they haven't played the games, but I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Once I've got that taken care of I can see about adding any characters that you've suggested, as well as figuring out moves. Those are really the last things to do as far as concept goes, imo. Also I feel that it's worth mentioning that I am using my free time (which is hard to find nowadays) to practice with the Pokemon hacking tools so that I can actually begin hacking at some point. At some point I may release a "proof of concept" video that shows that I'm actually capable of making this and am not just wasting everyone's time with this thread.

Ok everyone Im adding my list of brainstormed characters. As I said, I got overzealous and listed too many characters. If everyone could let me know which characters on this list should NOT be in the hack that would be very helpful. Also, if there's a character you want that isn't on here, then I may add them depending on how many characters I remove, but no promises. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ERfmR_E4M66d57cRUzvjK_HVNtkFPYVI3VOXVsnUFbg/edit?usp=sharing

Of course how could I forget the best units in the series? I'd like every game in the series to have at least SOME representation, even if it's just the lords. So hopefully y'all can rule out some less desirable units for me.

Soooooo I've been brainstorming characters and I checked and apparently I accidentally compiled a list of 237 individual characters (I wasn't even counting evolutions yet!) So I'm going to transfer the list of a google doc and maybe you guys can look at it and tell me who you DON'T want to see in the hack? The largest dex I'd feel comfortable having (not because I'm limited but because balance) is 140-151, so we'd have to cut the list down to about 100 to make room for evolutions I think. Thoughts?

Holy crap I just had a fantastic idea!!! What if I put Devdan and Danved in the game as separate characters?! And they could have nearly identical move sets. Is that lame?

I don't think Kliff will get that many evos, for balance reasons. The majority of units will only have one promotion. If any of Kliff's possible promotions do end up promoting, he will have fewer options. I don't want too many characters to have multiple promotions because I want guys with only one or no promotion to still be viable.

Survey results: First off, Kilff beat Mozu by an EXTREMELY narrow margin to become our new Eevee!! SoV hype represent!!! Also, Anima will be split into fire, thunder, and wind. I know I screwed up the question, but I am going to combine "mounted" and "laguz" types into "Beast" type in order to streamline the weapon chart. I think we are quickly approaching the point in the process when I can begin putting together the first real draft of the dex.

Yeah I threw that out when I realized that late-night Armaada J can't english good. But Beast type is probably gonna happen anyway because it's easier and more efficient for me.

So based on what I've seen here's how it seems to work: Limited number of uses per map (at least 3) Used to reverse a single action. So no reversing entire turns or anything like that. Usable on both routes but unavailable until a certain point (unknown as of now)

Ok guys, here's ANOTHER survey! People: "Armaada J why do you have so many polls?" Because IIII''MMMM INDECISIVE!!! :D Anyway, this survey is about a couple of things for the type chart, and the tiebreaker to see who becomes the hack's Eevee-esque. https://goo.gl/forms/WjpMnFGrmEWTMBf63
