Description

Pokémon Dark Rising 2 continues the story of you trying to rescue your father, releasing Arceus from its sealed chamber, and defeating the dark entity known as Darugis. This hack promises to bring a very engaging storyline, involving more character development from the cast you’ve encountered in the first hack, along with new, more intriguing faces.

You, the player, wake up from a sudden dream you had in the region known as Core, where you live. In the dream, a Pokemon tells you of a dark force that has begun its reawakening & asks for your aid in stopping it from causing chaos upon the world. You soon discover your best friend also had the same dream as well. After helping your town’s professor, you set out on your own adventure, paired with your Dragon-Type Pokemon with many unanswered questions in your mind. What is Darugis, the dark force the Pokemon spoke of?

Along your journey, you discover Darugis can control the minds of people and Pokemon alike. You meet a man named V, who was a former assistant of your father, who Darugis has now captured along with the Pokemon from your dream. As your journey continues, you meet many enemies, some who become rivals, and even friends. Sydney, a young woman who watched Darugis’s reawakening cause the death of her family and her village. Dray, a strong-willed Pokemon trainer whose father assisted your father in defeating Darugis years ago.

And Florina, another strong trainer with a genius mind when it comes to technology. Together, along with your childhood friend, Pete, as well as assistance from a once enemy, Kayo, defeated Adrian, the champion of the Omni Region, who happened to be one of Darugis’s main puppets. Through this time, you’ve grown to become a very strong Pokemon trainer, even battling the likes of Ash Ketchum himself, the world’s greatest trainer. You’ve also gained the ability to connect and bond with Legendary Pokemon.

As some questions became clear with answers, more began to grow in your mind. For example, what is the true connection between the 3 Chosen Ones? You have the power to Bond and communicate with Pokemon. A young man known as Light has the power to create Pokemon through energy. And your best friend, the 3rd Chosen One, what is his ability? There’s still so much unanswered…

Now, you and the rest of your friends(Team Dark Rising) have set off to the Omni Region in search of Darugis & saving your father. Three days have past since the events at Malice Castle…The team has changed their gear and left all traces of events within the Core Region behind them, including their Pokemon(Except their Dragons). What awaits you & the Team at the Omni Region? Is there an even bigger threat than Darugis being formed?

Known Bugs

• When choosing if you want to play as a Boy or a Girl, after you select your choice, the sprites in the introduction (Which are already terribly colored. Sorry about that) get a little darker and glitchy looking. However, this is nothing to worry about as once you start the game, the player’s character sprite returns to normal and never becomes glitchy again.
• Be sure to receive your Pokedex from Prof.Mercury’s assistant. If you do not, most of your Pokémon will not be able to evolve.
• Do not return to the deck of the ship, it will freeze your rom.
• As of Beta 1, Cries are not inserted into the hack. Shiny 6th Gen Pokemon are not inserted into the hack yet either.
• The player’s back sprite in battle only has one frame (The one where he/she is holding the Pokeball) due to my laziness. I didn’t feel like re-coloring the other frames.
• The Heroine sprite walks a little weird when walking left and right.
• Talking to Gary a second time in Noble Town will freeze the rom.
• A few of the trainer sprites are horribly colored and edited. This is due to my editing on a PC with a very dark screen that cannot be brightened. For this, I apologize & I hope this doesn’t ruin your experience.
