[glow=red,2,300]POKéMON NIGHTMARE[/glow]
Producers – Me, I guess I’m alone.
Spriters – They aren’t really from around here, so I’ll just mention their usernames on other places: Salimus and Yerashii
ROM base for hacking – Pokémon Emerald ROM
THE STORY
*HIGHLY SPOILER*
Your life was calm in Johto… you knew the entire village, and everyone knew you as a great person…
Your mother was your only family there.
This peace only lasted to the day you are sent into the Magnet Train, heading to a new region, heading to…
The beginning of a Nightmare.
In the year of the elections for the King position, you are sent into the Orthan Kingdom to live with your aunt, until you are introduced to your neighbor and start a journey to reach the legendary Pokémon worshipped in the kingdom…
In the midst, you are involved by that same neighbor in the Team Darkness chase, while competing for entirely new badges with new Gym Leaders, and also competing in the Orthan Championship, which includes 5 cups with many different challenges. Discover new terrains step by step as you go further into the story of a problematic coronation period, joining forces with Team Shadow to obliterate the efforts of Team Darkness…
And despite it all…
Will you be able to come out alive?
And what happened in the accident in Johto in the same day you arrived to Orthan?
All of that will unveil while going through a true Pokémon Nightmare.
THE FEATURES
What can I say besides:
-> A big, wide world for you alone to discover. The Orthan Kingdom opens its doors to you;
-> New tiles, whole new sprites, and entirely new cities;
-> A new storyline to follow;
-> New rivals and new allies, new foes and new trainers, along with a various twists in the story.
-> Challenge the Orthan Colosseums or the Gym Leaders: the path you choose is solely up to you. (Still being worked on)
-> Get ready for a lot of events that have been incorporated in the storyline!
THE SCREENSHOTS
On a side note, the two last screenshots aren’t an updated version of the area, since I haven’t been able to do updated ones yet. The other remain the same.
THE Production notes
So, this isn’t my first time hacking, but it is the first project I’m dedicated in completing, so I guess you can call it the first “extensive hacking”.
The storyline may seem very, VERY slightly similar to Emerald because of some minor tweaks I’ll have to make in it, but besides that, you’ll see it’s brand-new.
The tiles for now were edited in a small scale, solely because there are only two spriters and there is barely time to make’em sprites due to school time.
On a last note, this project, homonymous to my fanfic, was actually planned before it, but I didn’t have knowledge of the hacking methods, so I dropped it at that time.
THE Errors/Bugs

This IPS file contains the first two to three cities you will visit; I guess you can call it a Beta 1 right now:
