ATTENTION, EVERYONE WHO WONDERS ABOUT ZEL:
I found Shiny Gold 4 years ago, when I was in 8th grade. I moved on to high school, and met a lot of people. One certain friend lived right down the street, and he and I would hang out occasionally. I knew him for a couple more years before he brought this up.. but I was showing this friend some Pokemon hack stuff on my computer, and I mentioned a few hacks I've played like Shiny Gold. THAT was when he told me that he was the one who made it. I was surprised and shocked, and I knew the hack was big. He showed me some of the project files and codes he was using, and it was really cool to learn more about it. Anyway, the reason he hasn't continued work is because he was graduating high school, getting out of his house, and last time I checked, he is in the U.S. Air Force. I HAVE NO IDEA when or even IF he will return to ROM hacking and the Shiny Gold project, but I'm seeing how many people are still posting his R.I.P.'s, and I felt that I should let you all know everything I know. Let's all wish Zel the best of luck in his life!!
