First thing is: Dont worry about item's sprites. It has never been a priority, and it'll be probably one of the last things to change in the last release. So, dont post anything on the thread, and, if you want to show me anything, just do it in a PM.
The second thing (mainly for the new people) is that you should remember there's a FAQs section in the first post, with all that has been commonly asked in the hack's history (imagine a lot of stuff asked and answered there). Reading the FAQs will surely help you getting rid of some of your questions.
This is a really nice hack, Zel! So, do you plan on finishing it?
If I wouldnt, I'm sure a lot of people will somehow find me and force me to... :P
I think the E4 should have levels 60-high 70s like FireRed's E4 did. Thats not going overboard, Red is still the best challenge in the game and you could try adding a bonus to it like double money or a spare Master Ball.
Also, since trading with R/S/E isnt a priority, is there going to be an event for Groudon and Kyogre that involves Brendan and May? Their sprites are in the game for the Multi-player capacity, but it would be nice for them to show up to help lay the foundation for that event and to battle trainers just beneath or equal to Red's ability (and it wouldn't waste sprites).
70s doesnt sound bad. I guess I'll have to see it. In any case, let's not forget that the members of the E4 (and even Red) will not be the strongest trainers in the game (in the end)
Most likely a Master Ball event will be added as one of the last things to get in the final release (following the Nintendo way: get the best stuff just when the game is over... lol)
About the Groudon and Kyogre, not much cannot be revealed, but, Brendan and May dont have sprites currently (because I replaced them with other sprites, which I think has been a mistake now... I'll have to sacrifice other sprites to make them return... Gah, all of that because of the trading with RSE... Whatever...), anyway, since they dont play any role in the game, the Groudon and Kyogre event will be a bit more different. That's as far as I can tell.
why are some of the remixes being removed personally I thought they were great
I was more like refering to some of the temporary music tracks that I've used from RSE, like, the current BGM Lance has (which is gonna be replaced by the one clonex made), it's not like there are a lot of slots for inserting music. Or maybe... I think not.
yay zel is back. great 2 see you are alive and well. i have just one question though,
will the pre-evolutions and evolutions of pokemon that are in this game but didnt enter the series until diamond and pearl be in this game. E.G : happiny, yanmega, magmortar etc.
if not it doesnt matter but in my oppinion it would make the game more realistic
Nope, because DP Pokes wont be added, no one, at all.
About the small legends, for celebi I dont know but for mew couldn't you use his emerald sprite?
I dont remember how its Emerald sprite looked, but if it looked like the FR one, then it sucked. Anyway, I'll be talking about that at the end of this post.
but you should've kept the thread closed until there were big updates.
Too many people are starting to spam here now.
As I said when I reopened the thread, I wanted to reopen it because I felt like talking, and probably people would want to talk as well, besides I needed it open to feel a bit more of pressure (else, I'll just goofing around). That's why if there's spam, just use the little "Report Post" button and let mods take care of the spam, that's their job, isnt it?
Zel, are we gonna expect a lot of surprises in B6?
Cool Champion music, I can't wait for the Elite 4 music and the gym leaders in both region.
Let's see... Maybe, though most of the good stuff will surely come in the final release (with a whole new region, the catching of the rest of the legendaries, and a few new field moves).
I'll just put most of the stuff I've thought through all this time. Although, probably I should reserve some ideas for the future ;)
So, I just edited some OW palettes and now I will start touching a few overworlds to make room for the legendaries that will show up on the field. All the legendaries will use the MD sprites, even Mew and Celebi (I'll just touch them a bit, removing a few pixels, to make them a bit less big, compared to the hero), so with that, concludes the whole MD thing.
That's all for now. But I'm gonna rewrite my list of stuff to do in the Progress Report section in the first post, check that out to have a small idea of how much I need to before releasing the Beta (just an idea, because I cant tell how much time I'll be busy with that, and with the rest of my life in the middle...)
