Yeah. I have a little bit of programming experience as I noted. I'm working on making a new region (with new pokemon/gym leaders, etc) based off of some old Fakemon art I'm really fond of. So far, what I've done so far is screw around with the starter slots (replacing them with the new starters) in YAPE/PEP as a test.
Sorry for the delay, I didn't know how to reply back later.
Also, are there any threads for showing off progress with my rom hack (at least until I'm far enough to warrant a project page) and a page to showoff/get crit for sprite work?
