thanks and more thanks. And, DarkArcz, those benches are in a tile set contributed by sena82 (and given credit to the corresponding person).

Finally finished Cianwood, got the SecretPotion, got my Shuckle, defeated Chuck, and gotten a new friend to help the player (she's kind of a friend/rival), with that, the player would have like 5 rivals (two are more recurrent, and you know who they are gonna be)
Also I got the FLY HM. Now I'm in a dilemma, I cant use it too well, since I havent modified the map. Well, at least I was wise enough to be able to fly from Cianwood to Olivine. I gotta learn how to modify my map...

[EDIT]: I like that banner, flipboi, I'll add it after some zzzzz...

It Looks Much Better Than When You First Started Making It.
I Still Think Its The Best Hack Eva!

Looks kool.. Keep up some work. *shakes head and walks away back into the darkness*

So you`ve about halfway.Anyway good luck and if you don`t have Kanto will you add Red anyway?

Here's another banner from me:

Rest of the images were taken from Google Image Search, so credit is given to the owners of the site they were taken from.

He already said Kanto will be in, Johto is being build upon the Sevii Islands.

Edit: I've made an improved version of the second banner (the one at the beginning of the post)

Thanks martijn, however, didn't like any of them too much. Sometimes, simplicity is better, and not too much images on a single banner. But thanks anyway!

OK. I'll post the Bug Catching Contest. A video may have been better, but I'm not used to videos, and I dont want any to post one (that would mean giving the beta away, which I wont do). So I think the screenshots will do the work.
I'll number them and explain what is going on, and, in the end, I'll post the rules changes.

1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9)

1) Introduction
2) Rules are explained
3) You need to come back with only one poke (you must manually leave the rest in a PC I put close)
4) I know, I know, it was Park Ball, but that's not important (you get 5)
5) The new Contest Area (watch out, the encounter rate is very high!, that because the battles were manually done one by one!)
6) I caught a poke, and I wanted another one. Sorry, that doesnt work! The contest finishes after catching the first one (you need to walk a bit in the grass for the Contest to finish, or you may speak with the attendant)
7) Havent caught anything worth -> Oran Berry :'(
8) Caught a rare or high level poke -> Sun Stone :D
9) This handy attendant is there just to finish the game (just to avoid getting defeated or in case you run out of pokeballs)

Rules
*You can only participate with one pokemon (leave the rest in a close PC manually)
*You get the Park Balls, however it is possible to use your own pokeballs (You dont retain the Park Balls!)
*You are able to use items
*However, if you are defeated, you'll warped back to the last PC, as always, and so the Contest would have ended and you got no prize
*The Contest finishes as soon as you caught one pokemon (walk a bit and it finishes, or speak with the attendant)
*There's no time limit (yet), and so you may wander around as much as you like
*If you run out of pokeballs, the Contest doesnt end, so you must speak with the attendant
*1stPrizeun Stone, 2ndPrize:Everstone, 3rdPrizeitrus Berry, Other:Oran Berry

I'll try to remember anything else, if I do, I'll edit this post.

You're not going to use the Safari zone walk limit are you?

[Enrico Marini]

Since you are sticking closely to Gold, will you be able to select male/female trainer or is it just the male trainer?

[Sharanza]

wow i love those screens
keep up the good work

I did play the 1st beta and only the male character is changed. I hope the female trainer is Marina from Pokemon Crystal. It will be perfect character for this hack.

[martijn]

Never knew the trainer from Crystal was called Marina
Anyway, nice job on the Bug Catching Contest !

Edit: Finally! I can post images :D

actually,if you follow the manga she is called crystal

[scf]

you should add crystal, anyways the rules don't matter for me for the contest, as long as you can enter it

[Pikachu_Charizard]

Are you sure Fire Red has enough space for both Johto and Kanto?

[flipboi]

[Mr Snrub]

Three words:

Un-freakin-believable

This is the best hack ever and unlike most it will be finished :D

Hack of The Year is in the bag!

[zel 2.0]

I'll answer questions, for the rest of the people thanks for the comments. We'll see what the future has for Shiny Gold...

First, dont confuse the Bug Catching with the Safari Zone, the BC is a completely new script (well, a bunch of scripts) made entirely by me, not just a copy of scripts. The Safari Zone is untouched, so that may mean that the Safari Zone could make a comeback.

Ehm? Couldn't catch the tone of the question. Would it be good or bad?
Anyway, the 2nd Beta doesnt have a limit, and you can wander around as much as you like. I'll see if I can add the "random? timed" script I used in the Pokemon Salon, for Lapras and for the Moomoo farm's shop. If I can, and works, you could wander around till the script activates.

Picking the female character cannot be avoided, so the female trainer is gonna be Crystal (or Marina, as you wish to call her)

Once again, yes. Only problem is to edit the Map. And, someone already said, a rom can be expanded (For now I dont need to)

That one quickly became my favourite! I'll add it later.

[TreeckoLv.100]

WOAH zel! This is simply the best scripting I've ever seen man. Great screens, scripts, banners and well...everything. The new banner is extremely nice. Good luck, even though you don't need it. Great job!

[Superkid11]

I'm going to use Flipboi's banner.

Keep up the great work Zel and nice banner Flipboi! =D

[zel 2.0]

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately, my priorities have been changed a bit, and so, I wont be able to post, or to work on the hack as often as I did previously. This situation will keep on till mid-December.

There's not much left for me to release the 2nd Beta, just to finish scripting the Gym Battle in Olivine, and doing the Route 42 and Mt.Mortar. Hopefully in two or three free days those can be finished (and if I feel it's taking too long, I will release it before). But, when will I get those free days, it depends on how fast and good can I do my current work (a few tests and other assignments, I really want to be good at them)

Well, it's not like I'm saying goodbye, just saying that things are gonna be slower. So I'll keep on posting as always. So, here are more screenshots:



Most likely, I'll post again on Sunday. See ya then!

[martijn]

Cool screens! You figured out how to do Sudowoodo? Awesome!
Edit: Anyway, real life comes first, good luck on your (school?) assignments, zel!
Edit2: That Pokemon with mail you get, is that a Spearow or something?

[Mr Snrub]

Will Headbutt trees make a return?

Headbutt trees > those round shrub things :D

[Roffleman]

Cool Hack, Good Job

[scf]

great job man, I can't wait to play the next beta
