Also, new text box since I was getting sick of the old one.

Oh My!
amethyst city look so awesome and love the new textbox
wow I sure can't wait for beta 2.

[Tropical Sunlight]

All 3 screens look nice.
I like the purple theme of Amethyst City and I want to play it in beta 2 very soon.
Good luck with beta 2! (who will release his hack's beta 2 sooner: you or me? )

[sir.euge]

cant wait to get my r4 just so that I can play this again but on a ds. this is so NINTENDO style and thats why i like it.

[gamefreak6597]

looks cool keep going! mabye a chang in tileset would look nice

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Changing the tileset won't effect anything. It will just be the same game. Remember, don't judge a book by a cover. I saw on the Town Map of Zephyr, when playing the game there is a Dordoran Road below Scarlet Creek. Was it changed to Amethyst Road?

[Chimchar 9]

Them three screens look nice. I really like the text box design.

[Frostbite]

A little update for those who were complaining about backtracking from Gordian Town and Azure City so much.

Spoiler:

A shortcut now opens up right after you talk to Quinn at Azure City's museum.

[Tropical Sunlight]

Oooh, sounds interesting.
How does the shortcut work?

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Hooray, we couldn't get Repel until you beat Quinn. I like the idea since we don't have to backtrack. Do the Hiker and his Machop go away after you talk to them? I saw in the 3rd rival battle video when there was an electric gym, and I saw what looked like the roof of a department store in a corner. Is there a department store in Amethyst City?

[PKFL_531]

Cool! I really hated going back and forth, and that shortcut seems like a great idea! :D

[Faline]

I absolutely love the updates especially the new tiles in Dordoran City, I mean Amethyst. ^^

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

In two days or otherwise Sunday in will be a year since Azure Horizons Beta 1 was released. I like it since Frostbite is taking his time. He made it so that the rival and Team Tundra, the evil team, use different themes. I'm guessing Team Tundra's boss, and the Elite Four use different themes too? I like Hoenn music mixed with Ruby,Sapphire,Emerald, Fire Red, and Leaf Green tiles, and the addition of hearing Route 110's theme early. in Emerald Strait where the Underground Path is. I can see why it won Hack of the year!

[SWATerson]

The update is so long eh? Fans grew old waiting for it to come out.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Wow, it's been a year since Azure Horizons Beta 1 was released. Now we wait patiently for Beta 2, with a lot of new things such as the 3rd gym, battling a Team Tundra Admin, going to Team Tundra's Warehouse, probably go to the 4th gym, visit more of Zephyr, etc. So let's uh,,, celebrate with ice cream and popsicles? Anyways, thank you Frostbite for making a great ROM Hack. This is my favorite ROM Hack, which is something you probably know already.

[Chaos Rush]

I just played AzureHorizons all the way through a few days ago on my DS, and I thought it was awesome. I liked how the author actually bothered to insert new music, since I'm tired of playing hacks with unchanged FireRed music. R/S/E music ftw! But the updates since the beta was released look even better...

lol at least I didn't have to wait a year like all you guys, since I just tried this hack.

EDIT: Also, a suggestion: When you meet the first Gym Leader in the museum, I had no idea what to do next. Perhaps something better to imply that I'm supposed to go back to the town before the cave?

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Rijon Adventures also has RSE music, in fact the Battle Frontier's theme plays in the route south of the town with the first gym. When I learn music hacking, I will also have RSE music in a Fire Red hack. Still this hack is amazing. Torchic was my first Pokemon when I first played Pokemon. I like how you can start with Hoenn Pokemon too and I just mentioned the reason why. I like how the evil team,Team Tundra, is based on Ice types with the addition of other Pokemon such as Poochyena, Zubat, and Hotthoot.

[MiniM00se]

I like the screenshots!

But, if I may ask, why would you decapitalize things?

[Frostbite]

Update: Just finished scripting all of the events in Amethyst City and the sewer events with Team Tundra. All that's left is mapping and a tiny bit of scripting leading up to the 4th Gym and Beta 2 will be released.

Here's a screenshot of Amethyst's Gym. I'm very happy on how the layout came to turn out.

Are you kidding me they so Sexy ,my mouth drop to the center of the earth. Nice tile frostbite love how it look. I bet you it a poisen type gym?
Well good luck and can wait for beta 2.

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

I'm guessing a Ghost type gym. The walls with curtains remind me of the Battle Pike from Pokemon Emerald. All that's left is to map and script events up to the fourth gym? Interesting and I'm guessing Hazel Town is where the fourth gym is and the Gym Leader there probably uses Flying types. By the way I think the gym uses ghost types because you can see gray statues with what looks like scythes.

Wow, this is awesome, I'm glad I just discovered this hack, because I didn't have to wait a year for Beta 2, unlike all of you XDDDDDD!!!!!

I doubt those are emerald tiles... they are simpler if I recall correctly.

P.S. Dude, work on your grammar!

[MiniM00se]

I downloaded it, and it's pretty good so far!

Although, I think I found a minor tile error in the Emerald Straight: (It's probably not an error, and I look really dumb right now. Or it's already been pointed out. Just because of my luck.)

There's the same thing on the opposite side of the shore, but I don't wanna take a screenshot.

What about my question? D:

EDIT: Nevermind about the question. I understand now that you change TREECKO to Treecko and stuff. (I thought you changed TREECKO to treecko lol)
