Background

A few years ago, I created a "complete" modification for Pokemon Red entitled Pokemon TRE: Team Rocket Edition. I put complete in quotes because it is fully playable, but the only things that were changed were tiles, map blocks, or table entries. Now that the PokeRed disassembly exists (and I have learned assembly), I am proud to announce the sequel to the game, Pokemon TRE2: Team Rocket Edition, The Revamped Episode.

Story

The story line is simple, you play as a member of Team Rocket who reports directly to Giovanni. Help him grow Team Rockets influence on the region of Aster by completing missions and taking over cities along the way.

It's not technically a sequel, since the story line is not based upon the contents of the first game, but its the same premise (just 100x better).

Here is the layout to Aster:

Hard Mode Features:

• 1 life for the player. If you black out, the game is over.
• The game autosaves all pokemon stat changes, so you cannot cheat.

Normal Game Features:

• The game keeps track of your win/loss/kills/ko's throughout the game.
• The game also keeps track of your high score and best time.
• High score is only in hard mode, best time is in normal mode.
• The scoring it based on just about everything you do in the game, from updating your pokedex to evolving a pokemon to defeating a trainer.

Some screenshots:

Stealing Pokemon

You can now steal a trainers pokemon, but you can only try once per battle! Also, some trainers will be expecting it and won't let you.

Mission Box

This box will appear at the start menu and will let you know what your mission is. This way, there are no excuses that you forgot what to do or didnt talk to the right person and are now lost.

Day/Night

Pokemon and event will vary depending on the time of day! Check out the screenshots below:

New Types

There are 25 types in this game, some are the common new types and others are brand new to a pokemon game.



Check out the website to see the type chart and which pokemon have a given type

Horde Battles

Some pokemon will randomly appear as hordes while out in the wild. These hordes will vary in size fom 3 to 6 pokemon, and will be difficult to escape from!

Very nice to see this here! Saw it on Skeetendo months ago and it was looking impressive even then. Good luck, you've done pretty awesome things with the red disassembly.

[Team Fail]

Holy crap this would be a game I'd consider playing. You've practically ripped the game apart and reassembled it as you please. You've overhauled the game and did a really good job while at it. I look forward to seeing much, much more from this.

[ThePharaoh]

Holy crap! The screens look amazing!

Thanks! Still working on some more, but I might not reveal those until its released.

Thanks, glad you like it. There'll be more to come.

Thank you! Yeah, this game would not exist without that disassembly (though I only use it for reference). I can't thank the people who worked on that enough.



I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so I won't have any updated for the next week! Feel free to post any suggestions though (new attack ideas will be appreciated)

[PokeGlitch]

I was on vacation for the past week, so there is little progress, but I have been working on the tedious and boring process and "devamping" all of the pokemon mini-sprites to fit into the battle screen hud. I still have a lot of work to do on screen and graphic updates, but soon enough I will be able to get back to the story line!

The next battle work is fixing all scripts that deal with the pokemon/trainers sprites since they are now at a new location on the screen, and then adding in the remaining 9 battle backgrounds. Then comes fixing some bugs that I inadvertently created in the pokedex/stats screen.

No screen shots, but once I am done with the battle screen I'll have some. I DID update the main post and make it pretty, so you can take a look at that if you want

I'd been hoping for a good Rocket-point-of-view hack, and this really looks like it has potential. So many things that you're planning to change. TBH, I'm most uncomfortable at the moment about the new battle HUD you're planning, but I guess we'll see come release whether it's a change that won't break the experience for me.

Consider me interested. XD

Thanks! The battle screen is one of my favorite visual changes so far, but it is a huge change so I can see why it could be strange to play. Maybe I'll make a quick video once I fix the animations so you can get a better feel of it.

I noticed that "Adventure" and "Challenge" are under "Continue." Does this mean that there are multiple save files or are they just "New Game" functions?

[PokeGlitch]

Those are for startig a new adventure/challenge. The word 'New' wouldn't fit because I am using OAM tiles for the text highlighting, and you can only have 10 tiles in 1 row for that.

Multiple save files would be something would be a challenge, since I'm sure I'd have to reduce the size of the save file. Fortunately, emulators solve the multiple saves issue for everyone
