Magnificent effort, you're awesome!
I love the graphics and the colours.
The backgrounds are okay. :]
But I don't like the new overworld, I prefered the green one.
Anyway, good luck! :]

Just as a suggestion, I don't think you should be using those RSE elements you're using in battles. It would probably be better to remake them.

Hey after you beat we beat the game, could you make it we can join a team (magma or aqua, or both) and like, have ranks, and then like we can trade points for fire (magma) or water (aqua) pokemon with lugia and suicuine being the ultimate reward for team aqua and ho-oh and entei being the ultimate reward for team magma? i have a list of how it could work, but thats just a base idea.

Yeah, I was going to do that anyway.

Umm.. say what? At the end of the game magma and aqua are sort of.. canceled. Though, you'll get trouble with team Rocket

Also one thing to remember, this is his game. He can carry out his game, his plans, and his visions in any way he wants. Fangames that people are making in their own free time, are usually to their wants, and not just requests from one person that would like to play a game according to their wants. If you want a game with you being a part of team magma and aqua, that is fine, but if you want it - you will have to make it yourself. It is really irritating when random people just randomly spam your thread with various requests and nonsense like: "I want you to release the game so I can play it" or "I always wanted a game with this, this and this...now put it in". Just put yourself in the developer's position, and try to see how irritating posts like that are. Some people that would get attacked by spams like that, would just quit and run away. Post some constructive comments, like how to make the systems better, or maps and graphics. Post when you want to offer some help.
I see that you have many ideas (from the posts in other threads) so why don't you start in game development yourself. If you have ideas, and so badly want them there isn't much point in demanding it in other people's games, it is better just to make it yourself (and it's easier too).

@Dew:
With that aside...the game looks good. I like the tiles, though the Pokemon Lab in Littleroot, looks a bit weird (the extension on it's left side). The color palettes are good and the overall structure of the buildings. I like the fact that they look fresh and modern. And like someone said before, May's sprite looked better when it was green. Also...try to make the battle backgrounds a bit more pixelated, because the pixelated enemy and player bases just clash a bit with the battle background, throwing it a bit out of balance, though you should stick to the battle backgrounds you have now

The old May sprite, in my opinion looked a lot better. But that isn't saying you should get rid of the red one all together, maybe have an option at the start where you can choose either of them? I don't think the battle backgrounds look too un pixelly, after all they are of course the same amount of pixels as any other backghround would be. But maybe that's just becuase I've had a better look at them ;)

Hey Luka, thanks for you reaction, but I'm always open to an idea. The idea seemed fine to me, but.. nah. Though, glad you like the game. It's also funny that tons of people really liked the Littleroot lab, but everyone has his own opinion.

yeah sorry meant to make it more of a suggestion then a "HEY PUT THIS IN THE GAME" Lol, i should say i did have a list, which i could recreate but it took 4 hours to put together lol.

Anyways it will be good to see a remake of emerald

oh and one last thing luka

Fangames that people are making in their own free time, are usually to their wants, and not just requests from one person that would like to play a game according to their wants - luka i gurantee you, if you call yourself a game developer then you must be sorely mistaken, a game developer just dosent create what only HE wants - a game developers main decisions are to effect how it appeals to the audience. after all what do you call a game that is only enjoyable for the creater, and not the fans? to create a good game, he must burrow ideas

@Nroug, no, I know it was just an idea. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna use it. Though, other new, cool features will be in the game.
@FlaaffyFTW, thanx ;)

It is on the first post. He updated the plot.

I like how it starts. It sounds really interesting.

Animation is quite annoying but I suppose people will like it.
The screens look great, the cloud effect works well. Also good to see May is green again.

I used the animation not to take that much space. The May sprite is green again indeed, but totally different from the old one. Glad you like it.
