Have you seen the screenshots she has posted? In my opinion, the OWs need a bit a more work, they don't look right to me. I also think that the sprites need shading and the color pallets feel a bit off to me. DRG, I feel like you should wait until more information is known about the VI generation games before you implement the features involving it into your hack; but I understand if you do not feel like waiting. I feel like the plot of the first game lacked substance, and I do hope that this one contains a better managed plot, considering you now have experience in hacking. I believe one improvement you should make is the level curve, as I felt it wasn't as good as it could've been in DR1. I certainly hope that the team will take pride in bug-fixing and will use beta testers to their advantage, as well as making personal playthroughs to achieve the best product possible. I do hope you take your experience from the first DR and use it to create a sequel that is even better than it's predecessor. Some of the things I disliked about DR1 were the lack of high level fights, ambushes, the massive amounts of rivals(I simply felt like it was a little much), and that you lowered the stats of one of the starters. I also disliked that you put yourself in your game.
All this being said, I do respect your right as creator and will encourage you to do whatever you wish the game. I will be grateful to play whatever you release knowing you worked hard for no pay, just to entertain us and I recognize that ROM hacking is a hobby, not a job. Please take my criticism into account, and I'd be more than happy to offer more, just ask.
