You thinking of using any custom sprites apart from those for additional Pokémon which don't appear until more recent generations?
Depends on what sort of sprite you might want for any character, be it man or beast (or, in Pokéterminology, human or Pokémon).
I can contribute a sprite or two, if you like.
Do you have any examples of spriting work I can see?
Awesome stuff so far! I especially like that I could download the demo without audio, I always play these things with YouTube videos playing on a second monitor. Just wondering, are you planning on doing the Sevii Islands or just Kanto?
No worries, can't wait to see what you've got planned! I'm in the process of planning a Sevii Islands game myself, so I don't mind if they aren't in your game :PIt really depends on how popular the Sevii Islands are. Personally, I want to leave them out and make way for other things (which I can't spoil just yet), but I might implement them if demand is popular.
Will I be able to catch Pokemon other then gen 1 during my run, or is it the same Pokemon as in the originals?
