I could manage this:
But the item icon has to be aligned on tiles, so nothing halfway.
But isn't a "tile" 8x8? Surely you can move the icon a single tile upwards? Compare with the text.
(Note: I know very little about the GBC graphics-wise)
Yes, I already had it moved a single tile upwards, and was demonstrating how far it would have to move down. The screen is a 20x18 grid of 8x8px tiles, and the icon image is 24x24px = 3x3 tiles. I have leeway to move it up or down one pixel if really necessary (all the icons would then include that bottom border), which I did for the lower example.

Ah ok. Sorry, I didn't realise that was a limitation. In that case the one on the left is definitely better.

Oh OK, sorry for my misunderstanding.
Hmm, a test item sheet (not final icons, just cheaply grayscaled+posterized) compresses to a 25 KB 2bpp.lz file, which is far too big. Guess they'll have to be individual files split among banks.
Edit: On the other had, I just got rid of 12 KB of redundant font graphics, so this might not be a problem after all.

Is it possible to make Route 47 theme sound more like theme from GB Sounds item in HGSS? Current theme doesn't sound very good for me...

I suggested once to have a music player similar to AC, Rangi replied somewhere along the lines of "I don't want to steal features", which is fair enough, but results in no music player D:
EDIT: To clarify, that is not my theme, but mmmmmm's.
If you want to hear the theme for Route 47, you can go to Route 47. :P Mmmmmm, FroggestSpirit, and huderlem also have their tracks on SoundCloud. And I'm planning to add more radio stations in 3.0 that play rare tracks, including music from other regions.

↑ I mean something like sappy app for GBA, you could read GBA rom and listen to music from it. Is there similar utility for GBC roms?

To my understanding there's a thing called a GBS player that plays GBC audio files standalone, but I've never ported my songs to that format.
Also, you don't necessarily need to steal TPPAC's code to add a music player, you could try using CrystalComplete's code. It's an older version of the music player but it's just as functional, and it's what I test my music on before recording or posting the code.

Keep playing it. It will keep you entertained while Rangi finishes v. 3.0.
Apparently 3.0 is going to feel like a totally new game so you can have twice the fun.

Where can I read which trades are available in-game? I want to get a Machop but the traditional trade was changed.
