[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

Wow! You have inserted Ethan and Lyra from HGSS! They look very well, and I think that the tiles are also good. But, for me, the Ho-oh sprite that flies during the intro doesn't fit well...

 

[Nosophoros]

Awesome! I love the Ethan/Gold backsprite. Are you planning on inserting any other HG/SS pokemon sprites? Either way, this looks like a great hack.

 

[MKSSB]

Here's a quick update...
All Pokémon will have HGSS sprites, here's Pidgey:

And I have fully inserted Lyra backsprite:

Note: I haven't inserted Hoothoot HGSS sprite, but I will insert its sprite later.

Pidgey shouldnt be floating :/

 

[Super Ultra Mega Charizard]

this looks very good but why is a girl sitting on a box on screenshot 12?

 

[MKSSB]

Pidgey shouldnt be floating :/

Well, I don't know how to remove that shadow, I'll try to fix it.

this looks very good but why is a girl sitting on a box on screenshot 12?

I don't know, I did that house on Advance Map and when I opened the ROM on VBA that box was right there, I'll try to fix it later...

 

[sir.euge]

how about some better music and maybe better remake maps rather than flat maps. we dont want a flood do we?

 

[Teh Newbeh]

Well, I don't know how to remove that shadow, I'll try to fix it.

Wichu has a toolbox in the Tools section. I think it's called Advanced tools. But he has a sprite editor that can fix that if im not mistaken.

Edit: Its called Advanced Sprite Position Editor. Here is a link to his toolbox for your convenience. http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=196143

The graphics look really nice on the eyes and your sprites are inserted well. Good luck on this. ^^

 

[Fydianceus]

Hey, MKSSB! That looks very good.
I love Hacks with new musik, and some favourites are GSC musik.
Well... GOOD LUCK

 

[Lord Varion]

Looks good
There are many G/S/C remakes so its a pretty bad time for a new one
but kepp it up
And
The Video title screen says
"Pokemon ice crystal"

And ur GOLD ow sprite
everyone uses that try to make/find new ones

 

[Mudkip202]

I would suggest that at the intro suicune should be running instead may biking

 

[giradialkia]

We dont want a flood do we?

A flood is caused by a lot of water gathering in one place. Since the weather is generally calm in the early maps of Johto (and, this being a remake, there is no reason to make it rain either), there probably won't be a flood.
(You know, constantly saying that isn't going to make people change their maps to your liking. It's Pokemon GBA, don't try to apply real-world logic to a world where little alligators shoot water from their mouhs.)

For the intro video, I suggest changing the Ho-Oh sprite to the one used in the original Gold Titlescreen. Perhaps you could re-colour it, but it'd look better anyway- since it's flying to the side, having it look towards the side would be better.
I also back up the person who suggested inserting Suicune instead of the Player cycling. Again, you could use the sprite from the Crystal Titlescreen.

OR.

You could change the intro altogether, have the player skateboarding (as a little reference to the Skateboard item in pre-release GS days) along, and have Suicune come running beside them. You'd need to change the background so it'd look like Suicune is on land, though.

Anyway, this looks... okay. Sorry I can't be more complimentary, but there have been many Gold/Silver remakes, some of which are as good as finished, and other current ones that are packed full of ASM. You've got a lot to live up to if you want to make this stand out, but I do wish you good luck for that.

Sorry for no updating in some time, I'll update right now:

 

[TokioHumaNeko]

Your hack is good.
I do not like the houses, especially the home of the blue roof, try to change Them.
Good luck!
