Oh, I just posted on your hack thread. I really do like it that you're taking inspiration from Emerald, it was my first Pokemon game and my second favorite (HG and SS perfected everything I wanted in a Pokemon game, if only someone uses that engine and change it to and Emerald Remake).
Discovery is doing good. Le Pug and I are working our butts off to get everything the way we want it to be. We also decided where to release a beta at so people can get a good taste of the hack, and we're almost getting started on the last part before we reach the checkpoint.
