Thanks! I have things planned for the main plot already (aka Kanto arc), though executing on the other hand is problem The climax involves the Wing Mirages of Kanto... Theoretically we can replace the Kyogre VS Groudon scene with the birds on wrecking Kanto. But the cutscene itself is a big problem... Big imagination yet small possibility on happening.

Say you got Skype? I'd really love you to be part of my Skype chat. :)

I guess a February 2016 release is impossible. {XD} Unless I kick out Sevii Island, Johto and post-game stuff.

Oh that's sad, my understanding to your words are: They occur randomly, even if I haven't done anything wrong. :(

Correct me if I'm wrong, a complete hack game takes around a year to complete, right?

Not counting the original glitches the base rom has, is it possible to create a rom with zero bug and gliches?

Thanks for the sweet reminder! Definitely keeping that in mind. :)

You're more than welcome. :)

Your hack was the main reason that reignited that vision I had in my head. Prolly not gonna create 20 if you completed your project. ;) Not complaining, hahaha. In fact I understand life tends to get in our way. :/ one of ther reason why it hasn't been done before, the sources and stuff were limited back then. :)

You mentioned 'save some space earlier'. Now I'm a bit concerned, as I altered the map width and height.

Stay young inside, not only in the inside. :D You've been awesome since when I first know you. :D I mean you helped me with holding my POkémon, doesn't mean much to you but it is for me. I love Pokémon like crazy, haha. {XD}

Does this hack reminds you of your previous works? >:) Ya know I have no title for it yet, I'm calling it Pokémon 20 for now. ~ I'll let you figure out what does 20 mean. :P When you said skip, do you mean to say not giving a script and role for that legendary? Or as in completely erasing its existence? :o Prolly opting out the Lake Trio then, I can't think of a perfect location for them.

You're getting old already, yet it's still roughly a month before your big day! {XD} Just teasing!

Yep, already had that planned. The Johto starters, Sylveon, Espeon etc. are going to be part of the New Kanto Dex. :P Sabrina has a Espeon.

Then I guess it's perfectly right to include both Sevii Islands and Johto then. :) Let's see Heatran gets a place at Mt. Ember, Cresselia and Darkrai at Mt. Moon, Manaphy nearby/in Seafoam Island, Latias and Latios will be roaming Kanto, Weather trio at the Embedded Tower, The Tanoby Ruins will cover the Legendary Golems, Sinjoh Ruins will include Creation Trio and Arceus, I think I'm still missing some....

This year. Lol It's fine if you forgot about it. :D

Ha, you read my mind Joe -- I wanted this Kanto hack game to receive the great features of Emerald, so yeah. :P

That's the point on creating the hack this year: there are more resources for Emerald nowadays!

While I'm using a 650 patch, Not all 650 Pokémon are going to be part of the main game to make it feel more official? :P In a similar fashion how Pt/B2W2 expand their dexes from their respective sister games. I estimate there are gonna be over 300 Pokémon in Kanto. :)

We'll see if it's possible to create a Bell Tower event and a Whirl Island event. :) Ugh… Then there's the legendary beasts. Ah! Maybe the Tanoby ruins can cover the Sinnoh legends instead, ike a reference to thw Sinjoh Ruin event? {XD}

Yeap, silly head. You even greeted me that day. Kinda scared I'll forget yours this year. :D

Silly, it would be easy if I'm hacking from FR. :P I'll get smacked for doing so.~ Have I mentioned diving is gonna be involved as well? :D

Yeah, that would be the simplest thing to do: replacing the Hoenn leaders with Kanto ones. I'm not sure on including the Hoenn leaders, as I haven't thought on that direction. :o That's not to say I'm against of it!

I think I must choose between Sevii Islands and Johto. I mean at least according to the official games, they overlap each other's functions. The Unown mystery, ice cave for catching the likes of Delibird, Swinub and then there's the Daycare too. :/ If I were to include both, I must try to make them unique?

Exactly 4 months apart from my own, but mine has ended already. :P

Thanks to you too Joe!

The Gym Leaders need more role and spotlight. :P

Since I'm using Emerald as a base, I'll be able to retain the originally Hoenn only stuff like Contests, Battle Frontier, decorations and Secret Base. Yeah, boring stuff but hey at least it gives a whole new Kanto experience. :P

I wonder if the rom's capacity allows me to include the Johto region and Sevii Islands?

I guess I'll go with one of the original plans: Ground-team for Giovanni during the non-Gym matches, while Dark-type as the type of his Gym.

I think one of the tutorial you shown includes music changing. :)

I'm guessing it's around November.

Ah that reminds me, your birthday is approaching soon. I forgot the exact date, but iirc you're a Scorpio. :)

For example like
Yeah, Articuno, Zapdos an Moltres are going to be involved in the climax with Team Rocket.

I'm also thinking of involving Brock in the Mt. Moon arc that involves the Team Rocket. Iirc, The Rockets are there for the fossils, right? I'll be changing it to involving Jirachi. Something like the Rockets attempting to catch Jirachi for making money. So that way a legendary is involved and secondly their sick money making method is still in tact.

Not sure how I'm gonna pull those off, sounds complicated. But I'll try my best.

I'm still deciding over Giovanni's type. Part of me wants him to be a Dark-type Leader, another part of me wants him to remain consistent to FRLG as possible.

Another concern is the bgm. I'm deciding over using the old ost from the original RG versions (with some from Gen II games) or FRLG with the original pitch from the classics.

Let me know your thoughts?

It's a third version of FRLG, with Fairies, move categorize and 650 Pokémon.

Not all is available tho. What I'm doing is exactly Pt to DP: enhancing the plot, adding challenges and fixing the diversity issue. I've even handwritten my own Kanto Pokédex order. Lol

Oh rom trading is not allowed tho. :(

Well I'm releasing it to the public as a whole, complete version. :) Not making a beta for the public, it's stressful to set a due date.

Personally hoping for coming February. :P

This might sound stupid, well tbf I'm very new to this whole thing as I told you. So yeah, I'm not sure when should I let you test, like do I have to complete the whole thing to let you test it? Or do we do it bit by bit?

Oh I'll make you the beta tester, we got no due date for this. So no worries. :D

I gave up since you didn't reply!

Except I was completely joking with that! ;P Let's see, I'm still doing the mapping thing. I'm officially beginning with the professor's lab tmr.

I loaded the tiles from an Fr rom, some tiles aren't showing but I have no idea. So I kinda made my own tiles? If you look closely the houses I made are weird.

Speaking of weird things, the tile colors are crazy! I'll show you the screenshot tmr, as I'm using my phone now.

oops late reply, sorry! But that sounds pretty good, hope it's been going well so far! Did you take a year off then?

I study Politics & Literature! Not for career-opportunities but just because I enjoy these fields ahaha

Hey Blue :) How are you today?
