Contrary to Miguel you have noticed this is only what I achieved within my first 3 days of Rom Hacking. Let me know what you think! And if anyone is an expert and would be willing to answer some questions from me every now and then, please PM me! So I am a bit proud of what I already did and can do! LOL! All this might seem not that big of a deal to you all but remember I just started my "rom hacking career" like 3 days ago with zero previous knowledge. This really bugs me, so IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG or HOW THIS COULD WORK. I have NOOO idea why it starts the evolution process and then just jumps back to the pokemon menu. Then I got back to the list of Pokemon / Pokemon menu and Aerodactly was still Aerodactyl. The evolution animation was about to start. I got the three stones from the fat guy, caught a wild Aerodactly in Pallet Town and tried to give it one of the stones. I also edited Aerodactly in this tools so it evolves into those 3 forms depending on what Item (one of the 3 stones) you give it. So I implemented these 3 new Pokemon using various tools.
I wanted Aerodactly to evolve into 3 different forms, just as Eevee does. Now the fat guy in Pallet Town gives you 3 Stones (Fire, Water and Thunder Stone). I did the following: I added tall grass in Pallet Town (which I called "Alpha Base") and made it so that you encounter wild Aerodactyls. There's a little story and a problem involved with that. My custom starter pokemon Unihorn battling an Aerodactyl!

I also learned quickly how to change the Starter pokemon. The professor greets you with one of my custom prehistoric Pokemon!Ĭhanging the overworld was a piece of cake with Advance Map! I even made it rain! The worst part so far was changing the intro text as I had to use a Hex Editor (please note that I had zero knowledge of coding or rom hacking a few days ago!). Also I have the problem that once I changed the Pokemon sprite I am unable to change it again. I changed the title screen and yes it looks very raw still. Here are some screenshots from the very very first prototype of Pokémon Prehistoric! I think considering the short time I am doing this I already accomplished a lot. So after three days of reading a ton of tutorials on the web I am proud to present you with my very first steps in creating a Pokemon Rom Hack. While ago I posted seeking help with realizing my Pokemon Rom Hack idea of "Pokémon Prehistoric".Īs I have always been a "self-made-man" and always learn myself new stuff and also as I didn't find much help in the community (I think everyone must be busy with their own Hacks) I decided I would look into doing it myself!
