Pokémon: Liquid Crystal

[linkandzelda]

It was only a matter of time, right guys and Spheals?

I present to you...

~The Info
This is a Hack of Fire red
And is called "Liquid Crystal"

Owner: Linkandzelda
Co-Owner: Synyster_Zeikku

~Introduction
Hello there everyone. You might know me, I'm owner of Liquid Crystal and this forum. I started working on this alone around April 2007. This was supposed to be a one person project at first, this meaning a solo hack, but just like Pokemon: Shiny Gold, it quickly became popular (maybe too much...?), so I decided to appoint Synyster_Zeikku as Co-Owner. There is far too much work put into this to turn back, in other words. We will finish this 100%.

~Story
Same as Crystal pretty much, with a few changes, extra rivals and plots etc.

~Features
This obviously isn't be a 100% accurate remake, it does/will have differences.
New Rivals and other extra battles.
A new berry system, allowing people to grow their own berries.
New places and area's to roam and discover.
New music.
Johto worldmap.
Travel to the Orange Islands.
"Sliding Panels" - Ruins of Alph Puzzle.
D/P/P Fonts and Textbox.
Custom Battle Scenario.
Day/Night (Soon to come!!!!!)

~FAQ
Make sure you read this before posting.

Q: Where's the patch?
A: Look down... It's attached to the bottom of this post!

Q: Why can't I save in Pokemon: Liquid Crystal?
A: Well, in reality, you just can't save in FR. But to fix that just make sure to go to Options->Emulator->Save Type->Flash 128K in your Visual Boy emulator.

Q: Are you able to trade from Liquid Crystal to other games?
A: From LC to FR/ LG it is possible. However, beta 2 doesn't support trading. I don't know 'bout the others... Don't support previous releases.

Q: Do I need to restart my game to play the newest Beta?
A: You need to patch it once again into a clean ROM. But you could still use your previous save file. However, I recommend you to play it from the beginning once again to appreciate the fixes, playing it more safely, and to avoid bugs that should not happen, because we're not responsible if something fails!

Q: I want to help you guys with mapping...
A: Thanks, but I think we have those covered.

Q: When will the beta be released?
A: Just keep reading the thread over a period of time, we don't give dates.

Q: You should make it in Emerald...
A: No, its gonna be made in FR. The game is quite advanced to start it on Emerald.

Q: Will you do a Silver/ Gold version?
A: Not sure at this stage..

Q: Are all pokemon gonna be in?
A: Correct. Since Hoenn poke live in Johto and Kanto (but very rare).

Q: How about fourth generation poke?
A: Nope. There should be enough poke to have enough fun.

Q: Day, night, headbutt, Pokegear, etc?
A: Maybe, Headbutt Trees and Berries are in though.

Q: And the Sliding panels?
A: Yes.

Q: Will Kanto be in?
A: It already is. It is complete.

Q: Will Hoenn/Battle Frontier/Sevii/Orange Islands be in?
A: The Orange Islands will be included, the current beta gets the plyer up to the first Orange Island Gym battle.

Q: Is Celebi's event in?
A: Yes. But we won't give out hints to where certain items are and such.

Q: Will you insert G/S/C music?
A: We already have all the G/S/C songs inserted.

Q: Why has been the Badges order altered?
A: Because the order you get the HM moves has been altered between FR and Gold/ Silver/ Crystal. And, unfortunately, We need to stick with FR's order.

Q: Will mom save us our money?
A: Nope. It's not really needed in all honesty.

Q: What happened to the legendary dogs?
A: It's just like crystal, and the same event's from that work in LC (Liquid Crystal).

Q: How do the Trading-evolution pokes evolve?
A: They will not evolve by trading anymore. But you need to discover how they evolve yourself!

Q: When will the Bug Catching Contest work?
A: It will work in time, we haven't really discussed this yet. It hasn't been a priority.

Q: What will you do after finishing LC?
A: A well deserved break I hope..

Well, let me be the first to replay.
I´m looking forward of this to be finished.
I haven´t played a beta, since the very first, because I´m waiting for the whole thing.^^
I know that you won´t let this down, so I won´t say:
HEY, don´t you dare letting this down!!!
Wait, I said it...

Anyway, I found two mistakes (LoL, sry, I have to correct people, it´s like an addiction^^): First, you wrote attached with three t (In the FAQ). And second, in the credits, my old username has an ! at the end^^
It´s Bombah! XD

Anyway, good luck,
Ryu

Well Synyster_Zeikku did that titlescreen. he wanted to remove the bar at the top but it was too difficult xD. so i guess it stays. There will be yet another new titlescreen though for the next release.
