Pokemon PurePink

[MikaruMenoko]

Name: Pokémon PurePink
Base ROM: Fire Red (U)


Story:
You are a girl who for the first time leaves her hometown, Greeninville, to reach the near village and spend a night with a childhood friend.
The mother of her friend is a Pokémon professor and she asks to you and her daughter to give her a help to complete the Pokédex. You accept and your mother also agrees.
But soon, you will face a Team Xeno grunt. Team Xeno is a criminal organization that wants to torture and eradicate feminine creatures to make a manly and rude world.
The main objective of the game is to defeat Team Xeno as a girl and demonstrate that also girls can KICK A$$ES.

FAQ:
Q: Why Fire Red?
A: Because it looks modern by default and to me is more suitable than Emerald.

Q: Isn't it a very complex topic for a Pokémon game?
A: Well, maybe, but I think that people of all ages can play Pokémon, and also, people of all ages need to respect each other without differentiation by race, sex, sexual orientation, political belief, religion, etc...

Q: Well, the intro screen says that this game is against gender discrimination. So, why can't I be a boy?
A: Because of this game's plot you need to feel like in a girl's body, even if you are phisically a boy. You can choose your appearance to fit your personality.

Q: Are you a feminist or what?
A: I am feminist and I support the rights of LGBT people... (no, I don't think that girls must have more rights than boys or that LGBT people must have more rights than straight and cis people. I think they should have equal rights).

Q: Can I help and suggest some changes for the ROM?
A: Sure, if you find something that you don't like and you think that it would be better, I'm open for suggestions.

Q: I think this game is a great idea!
A: This is not a question.

I've approved your thread. Sorry 'bout that ^.^

I kinda like this idea. As someone who is against discrimination and inequality, this appeals to that part of me. Also as someone who always picks the female character in Pokémon games and embraces their feminine side I can definitely get behind the fact that both playable characters are female. I'll be sure to keep my eye on this and see how progress goes. One question I will ask though is will every male in the game be an enemy, or will there also be guys that lend you a helping hand along the way? I ask in the interest of equality and to better understand the dynamic of the game.

Downloading this now. This hack sounds like a great idea <3

No, there will also be helpful boys like some Gym leaders.
The badges will be more quest-like. They will be required to unlock certain skills like cutting trees. You will need them to unlock new areas rather than using them to access the Pokémon League. Gym leaders will be more like teachers.
The only harmful boys are the grunts from Team Xeno.

That's cool, in which case I'll definitely be sure to keep an eye on progress and try it out once it gets a bit more complete (I don't like playing games before a certain point in development, just a personal preference). I look forward to seeing how this goes :3

I played the demo, and it seems okay although it was too short to really tell much yet. I did notice a couple of bugs that didn't seem to be mentioned in the "known bugs" section however.

- The berry tree gives unlimited free berries, instead of waiting to grow back. Was this intentional?
- Several NPC trainers on the route did not appear to have a script defined. I know you said that some buildings weren't finished, but since it didn't mention unfinished trainers I thought I would mention it.

But like I said before, I like the idea behind this hack and I look forward to being able to play more of it and see the story develop.

The unlimited berry tree is intentional, the NPCs still need to be scripted.
Think about it, in real life a tree has a lot of fruits, not only one. So I made it unlimited. A player can grab berries until he/she has the will to do it.

That's fine with me, I was just making sure you intended for it to work that way.
