Pokémon Dark Energy
Hack of: Pokemon Silver (U)
Creator: Miksy91
Storyline
You're a 19-year-old university boy from the Southern Edge of The Capital. The Capital is the biggest city in the world we live in, Suden.
The game itself starts surprisingly with a cutscene, not involving the main hero in it. It looks like some strange fellow, Maxime, has come to see Mr. Burton, one of the richest people in all of Suden. Maxime tells him about 5 precious stones, Elemental Orbs, that are scattered across the world. He couldn't seek out the Orbs all by himself so he asks if Mr. Burton paid for building an organization which could look for the Elemental Orbs in their place. Mr. Burton isn't interested about the idea at all, and asks Maxime to leave. Suddenly, some strange light knocks Mr. Burton down and when he awakes, he surprisingly accepts Maxime's offer. Maxime, then again, couldn't even "feel anything". I wonder what that was about? But thus, Team Darkness was born.
Finally, the game begins with the main player, a 19-year-old university boy from The Capital, the biggest city in world we live in, Suden. The player gets a phone call to go to see his professor at the university due to an exceptional found in Rocky Mountain in eastern part of Suden. The finding is old writing about Elemental Orbs and how they were created around 1000 years ago. Due to how the timeline in the game works, no one should have heard of the Elemental Orbs by now, not even Maxime..
And the further you progress, the more you'll start discovering about the Elemental Orbs, a thing called The Crisis and disappearance of energy in the past. What does all this mean? Find out by starting to play already today!
Features
-Explore a whole new world with everything made from scratch: maps, texts, scripts etc.
-Unique storyline, doesn't include trying to become a pokemon champion, that's for sure!
-Elements of other RPG games; sidequests, character development and more
-An organization, Team Darkness, who seems to have the same plan to unlock these secrets... or are they up to something else?
-Minigames such as "Magical Book" and "Magikarp man" (and there are more than that!)
-Lots of boss fights and each one having an actual purpose
-Plenty of game-engine hacks

-------------------------------------
POKéMON DARK ENERGY BETA 4.0
-------------------------------------
Pokemon Dark Energy offers a unique gameplay experience by mimicing that of Final Fantasy series;
There are lots of quests and the gameplay is focused on development of the story rather than "traveling from town to town".
Even so, most gameplay related things are borrowed from the original game the hack is based on, Pokemon Silver.
Below, you can find information you might want to know before starting to play. This information mostly contains changes to the way the game engine works.
(After all, you would normally assume several things function the way they would in the game the hack is based on.)
---------------------
Naming Characters
---------------------
There will be situations when you can give a name to a certain person. If you give it an "empty" name and click END, a default in-game name is picked for that person.
--------------
Battle Modes
--------------
There are two battle modes you can choose from - Normal and Active.
The current battle mode can be changed by opening Options from the Menu.
--------------
Move Tutors
--------------
Certain people, who have pokemon with moves they couldn't normally learn, can teach your pokemon the same abilities.
Only a few may do this though.
------------
Sidequests
------------
There are 7 sidequests you can finish in this beta. A rumor is that if you complete at least 5 of them, and talk to a certain person,
something might be unlocked...
Other than that, finishing all of the sidequests doesn't serve for any special reason, at least not yet.
But every sidequest as its own gives you a handy prize!
--------------------
Pokemon Changes
--------------------
-Traded pokemon always obey
-"Trade-evolution" pokemon evolve now by leveling them up (some evolutions could be changed to evolution stone evolutions though).
-Eevee and its upper forms have had lots of changes. All that's related to this is revealed in the game.
-Magikarp evolves now by Water Stone (due to certain in-game sidequest).
-All the pokemon that evolve with evolution stones have their upper-forms' movesets edited.
--How this works is that you don't have to wait for the pre-form to learn a certain move (like Pikachu's Thunder or Vulpix' Flamethrower) before giving them the evolution stone.
Their upper form, in this case, Raichu learns Thunder and same way, Ninetales also learns Flamethrower.

FAQ

Usually when you think you got stuck, try talking to people around the area and that should give you the "keys" to move forward.
But if you, for one reason or another, run out of options, you can check the FAQ below.

FAQ
Spoiler:
I can't get to The Capital!
You said you implemented Running Shoes in the game. Why can't I run by holding down B button then ?
Is the encountered Squirtle meant to be shiny ?
How am I able to get past North Star ?
Where do I get the First-Aid Kit ?
Why did you make Isaac's pokemon so powerful ?
What to do with the De-Stone ?
After reaching Milky Village, I got stuck. What to do?
What's the code you should enter to that PC in Argent Warehouse ?
What should I do after I've gotten HM03 (Surf) ?
Are you kidding me? Should I really enter the Cave of Illusions?!
Some thief stole my money and got away. Where did he go?
Where does the hack end?
Where can I get the HMs ?
Spoiler:
Read what's written in the Read Me.
You said you implemented Running Shoes in the game. Why can't I run by holding down B button then ?
Spoiler:
Running Shoes can be received by escorting the little girl, next to the university, back home.
Is the encountered Squirtle meant to be shiny ?
Spoiler:
;)
How am I able to get past North Star ?
Spoiler:
You need to defeat the gym leader of Little Stone, and you'll be rewarded with Woolly Hat, which protects against cold.
Where do I get the First-Aid Kit ?
Spoiler:
Keep playing till you reach Area 104. After that, it's kinda straightforward.
Why did you make Isaac's pokemon so powerful ?
Spoiler:
You're not supposed to beat him at that time, only win the access to Milky Village.
What to do with the De-Stone ?
Spoiler:
You'll hear when you find the first Page and return it to the magical book.
After reaching Milky Village, I got stuck. What to do?
Spoiler:
Explore Milky Village!
What's the code you should enter to that PC in Argent Warehouse ?
Spoiler:
Loaning the words of a certain scientist:
0118....0118..881? No, that was not it either. Darn it! I have forgotten the damn melody!
0118....0118..881? No, that was not it either. Darn it! I have forgotten the damn melody!
What should I do after I've gotten HM03 (Surf) ?
Spoiler:
You may find neat things by exploring the areas you've already been to. To continue with the normal gameplay, you should first go training to Western Lake from Argent Warehouse and then fly back to The Capital and leave surfing towards Brightbulb City.
Are you kidding me? Should I really enter the Cave of Illusions?!
Spoiler:
Yep, but that place is far from as confusing as you would think. Inside, you'll run into a certain person who you gotta follow. Follow him to his hideout, and you'll learn how to pass the cavern. Don't worry about getting stuck, it's made certain you won't.
Some thief stole my money and got away. Where did he go?
Spoiler:
Talking to people might help as usual.
Where does the hack end?
Spoiler:
Answering this question is literally impossible since there are tons of things you should be able to do after reaching the "end point". But in case of how long the game is, I'd say it's going to take you as least as much time to beat as an official pokemon game. And even so, it's still just a beta but a long beta indeed. This project been worked on for almost 4 years you know...
Where can I get the HMs ?
Spoiler:
HM01 - Eventually by playing
HM02 - Milky Village
HM03 - Eventually by playing
HM04 - Area 120
HM05 - Brightbulb City
Rest are currently unobtainable (or will never be obtainable).
