    Not bad. Keep up the good work. I want to see how you make those systems listed under features such as the underground one.
     
    heyy.

    it's nice, its great to see an d/p remake of emerald. most of them are fire red. ;o
    well // good luck. ;)
    Thanks, and yeah, I've gotten sick of hacking FR actually, tbh. :P

    Wow, this looks impressive, even from the early screenshots. Keep it going, you've got a potential winner here.

    D/P/Pt remake on Emerald, huh? Nice. By the screenshots, it appears as though you're doing well. Good luck.

    So you're back with it huh?
    Hope ya will show more progress com ;)
    Good luck ;)

    Thanks for the feedback.

    @megiddo and yeah, the systems aren't relatively complicated or anything, just nice easter eggs really. It's nice to know someone actually is interested in them, though. ;)
     
    It looks nice but i have to be honest, the tiles are horrible, i think you should try a different rom base or try making your own! and may i suggest you make it a platinum reamke? Since platinum is basicly the update for d&p
    If you want maybe i could help you? Be a member in your team? I would love to be a mapper ;)

    The tiles aren't horrible to me, maybe it's just the pallettes don't look that great in the rain?
    and I'm not using a base, all the new tiles I ripped, made, and inserted from wherever.

    Thanks, I appreciate it. ;). I'm not even kidding. I'm open to all feedback.


    Edit: and no, I'm not changing to a Platinum remake.

    Okay lol, well it seems like this could go far, and it seems its going along nicely anyway!
    So would you like any help?
     
    Not really. I'm doing this mostly as a solo hack, with a few exceptions. The only major thing I need help on is once a good system comes about to go about adding the Sinnoh pokes seperately, so someone to guide me through the insertion process. After the first demo, I won't be continuing the hack until further notice on adding the Sinnoh pokes, and a system. The first demo won't feature any events with new pkmn because of this, so only the first few events will be in.
     
    the color of the grass doesn't seem right... the rest of it looks nice.

    Good luck with your hack ;)

    It's just the rain that makes it look odd. Haha. I should be putting up screenies in normal and other weathers later... so you'll be able to see the actual color.

    and thanks ;)
     
    Emerald? Good luck...

    It's hard to edit the 64 x 128 thing, but It'll look diamonder with animations. :P

    True, but I shouldn't even be at the point where I edit animations for awhile.
    In reality, I'm going to be adding animations, if anything. I'm looking into methods on adding all the Sinnoh pokes without removing any, and somehow being able to add animations and control the movements of them. Sounds a bit farfetched(no pun), but I should manage to find a way eventually.
     
    Good remake. But shouldn't you use DP Tiles?

    I already am using a mix of D/P and Pt tiles, besides the houses and mailboxes, and the interiors, as I haven't did anything with those yet, and that'll change eventually, too. Plus, I'm not going full DP, even eventually, to try and have something new to see, if that makes any sense. ;)
    good luck, this is amazing =D
    although it seems a bit silly :S
    Thanks.
    and why does it seem silly?
    Just the concept of premaking DP? If yes, I get why it's silly, but I thought it would be a nice project either way. :P
