New Pokemon Game Hack

So, I recently came across a few tools for editing maps and text of certain ROMs. Obviously, Pokemon is always a popular choice. So that being said, I'm about to start making a new Pokemon hack. problem is, I have no idea where to go with it. Orange Islands was already taken and there isn't many other Pokemon story lines to go off of that have not already been taken. I was thinking play as Prof. Oak as a kid... but that's a little lame I think... Idk. any ideas??? Keep in mind it has to be a Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red or Leaf Green hack. But what should the story line be??? Any suggestions?

The young oak story seem funny. Maybe the story will be nearly like the normal one, just 40 years back in time, so the tecnologies, dresses, buildings will be 20's-30's style. For the storyline i think will be funny if you face a young Giovanni , in the role of the rival, and a sort of pre team rocket, maybe lead by Giovanni's mentor (or parent).

That would actually be really cool. I was also thinking for that one the last pokemon u would catch would be Celebi but have the option to catch them all! But still with old technology. That could be really fun!

Hate to "hijack" the thread but on a related note, do any of you happen to know of a rom hack for any of the GBA pokemon games that let you catch all of the 1st through 3rd gen pokemon on the one rom, rather than having to trade for them? More specifically, one that brings all of the "version exclusive" wild pokemon to the same game?

So far i havnt come across any ROMS like that, except for ones I cant seem to find like Pokemon Legends and stuff like that... I want to make a ROM to catch em all. But the link for other Pokemon ROMS is: http://wahackpokemon.com/en/

The site is poorly translated but it gets the job done!

Well I managed to get together all the programs I need to make this game... But the text editor will not open >.< WTF!!! any suggestions with a text editor that will work thats not Hex or Advance Text?

Thanks a bunch! That will help a lot!!

so, you got an alpha yet?

If you use a scripting program such as XSE, you can create your own custom text pretty easily. All you need is advance map.

Creating scripts are pretty easy once you get the hang of it

Been some years since I've done any pokemon romhacking but I still know a little bit xD

Have they done a pure Team Rocket game yet? As in, you play as Jessie/James/generic Rocket member? Might be another idea that's worth doing. The young Professor Oak doesn't interest me, but I see the cool factor with that. Time to experience the great slog of actual work. Good luck and update us. It'll make it easier to keep at it when you want to tell people about it and show what you've done.
