Hacking can be a bitch sometimes ~_~

Due to the internet still not wanting to corprate the way it should, I.. have been finding other ways to spend my time..

Actually out of boredom what started it all, was that I found some more hacked roms of Pokemon done by people, and it gave me ideas(or bunnies to some people). And finally, something to finally work with.

Of course, I also seem to have an awful habit it plan things ahead, not the things that should happen now. And judging by the things I WANT to add, I'm thinking that maybe I should plan those out now... Because I think for it to work, I'm gonna have to devour a few "dungeons" and other maps. Actually, that I know for sure, I just dunno how much I'm going to be left over with...

That's the funny thing about hacking roms, and probably one of the most annoying: You can't add more things too it, and you can't also take away stuff from it. If I need another building or NPC for some reason, I gotta snatch it from someplace else. And so forth. I can only alter stuff, not make it. *cough* Kinda reminds me a little bit like something else XD;;.

..... Actually there is a few ways around it, or so I think. I haven't really tested it yet (though I already learned a TON of stuff about the programs I'm using).... but it's only very minor things, I don't think it's really possible to make more maps, let alone more events(NPCs, Trainers, etc).... Or takes very hardcore programing by pure hexes.. And that stuff is way too confusing for me(I bet if I disected it enough though I can figure it out). And if one single thing is wrong, the whole thing won't work. Maybe the whole game entirely -_-;;

But so far, changed the starters(had to nerf one of them being that it was too ubered ^^;), totally revamped the first route and actually made it larger. BARELY done anything to tweaking text, I'm saving that all for last. And still need to revamp Littleroot and Oldale, and that other route still. But for now, I think I'm gonna begin 'operation epitaph', cuz that's gonna be a big project and one of the most important things in this hack..... I still hoping there's a way around doing the legendaries.. that might be a little tricky ._.;;



But, enough ramble now.
