The entire time I typed this up I felt like a huge, lifeless nerd. Which is true, but..... please don't judge me! I just have weird hobbies! D':
You guys probably don't know this, but I LOVE Pokemon. Rival Blue will always be my first love and my Venasaur can totally pwn your team. >3 But that's not the point! The point is, have you guys ever heard of ROM Hacks of games? Most of them suck, but a few are pretyy good- especially the Pokemon game hacks! (Snakewood, Manly Pink, MOEmon and ALL of the Touhoumon games are examples of good game hacks. x3)
But anyway, I was screwing around with my team on Touhoumon Insane the other night when it occured to me "There are lots of Pokemon hacks where you can capture little girls and shove them into balls...... why not little boys? More specifically, little Hetalia boys!" Which makes me sound kind of like a pedohile, but I didn't mean it that way.
See, while my Major in collage is foreign language, I have two computer science minors! Which means that while I might not be a god at it, I can make basic programs and simple websites and all that fun junk. Ussually I don't do all that crap because it's kind of tedious, but I've decided to take it upon my self to hack the first (that I know about at least) Poketalia ROM! (Or it could be called Hetamon. I'm not sure which yet)
I have the Axis, Allies, and part of the Nordic Countries sprited, along with our Leading Trainer Character Battle and Overworld images.; instead of the 'are you a boy or a girl' option, i made it 'are you angry or annoying'. Choosing 'Angry' has you play as Lovino, and 'Annoying' is Felibecause they are pimps like that. Proff. Oak (I hacked Firered Version) is now Japan and I've also edited the landscape a little bit. I'm nowhere near being done, since I've only got it edited about up to to cave after Pewter City, but it's going pretty good!
Now, I had a few images to show you that I screenshot directly from what I have done. Like, shots of you having that first battle with your rival/brother and of the picking of the three starters (America, France, and England for.... well, I don't know either. It just seemed fitting somehow). A few shots of edited dialogue, wild battles, Hetadex pictures, ect. And... I've given the game a basic plot. You're not just battling the little Nations for the sake of it- there is both a reason for why you're battling them and for where they came from.
After battling with this stupid computer for a bit I managed to get it to upload one sprite. It's of Chibi Russia, the middle stage of the Russia evolved stages (or whatever the hell they're called. I forget.) The picture isn't final sine I still have a bit editing to do (mostly with colors). It came out a bit small and with a weird white box around it, but it's normal size and boxless in game with the same file, so i'l not worry about it to much. :3
So then, what do you guys think? I thought I would run the idea by you guys to see if you liked it and all. I would also feel honored, when I get the thing done, if you guys would beta it for me if you wanted! I have no idea when it will be done; about four days work and i'm nowhere near finished, but I'm chugging along nicely, I would like to think. Editing the dialogue id pretty simple, and is replacing the old sprites with new ones. Editing Types and Attacks will take a bit more time, but is still pretty easy. Making the actual sprites will take me the longest; CRussia up there took about an hour and a half by himself. His first stage took About 45 minutes, and I won't even go into the final stage. Granted I didn't sit down and make any of them in one sitting, but still. It's all because I'm kind of a picky bitch with them, but..... eh. I enjoy doing it, so why not?
