Dear all,
More progress and misc fixes.
Major changes:
1) Item Revamp: Adjusted items prices and recovery effects. Potions and berries are the ones that changed the most
2) Steven rematch available on Battle Frontier, after defeating him in Meteor Falls
3) NPCs added in Overworld maps of Kanto and Johto, the regions feel much more alive now
4) Added side quests in Kanto (WIP):
- Saffron City gates are closed what may be the best way to let the thirsty guards let you pass?
- Ghosts in Pokemon Tower? Do you believe in ghosts? Some people only believe in what they can see...
- Snorlax are everywhere! Resting in the paths, maybe you need something to wake them up
- Magnetic Train is out of power, maybe you need to visit a special place to activate back. But be cautious there's a powerful Pokemon now there...
5) Fighting Dojo, Koichi in Saffron City can help you train!
-1st non-pokenav NPC with rebattle option, decent mid-level xp farm, for money better keep picking stuff up to sell lol
6) Sabrina and Chuck are back in their Gyms!
7) A high level Trainer is waiting at the top of a special mountain, better be prepared!
8) Weather system in Kanto and Johto
9) Cerulean Cave only accessible be worth trainers, maybe a champion will be able to enter there...
10) Tons of fixes and minor improvements

I understand the criticism of the other users, and may they're right.
But I'm new to romhacking and I'm doing this to learn more and as a little hobby. I think there's a lot people that would like to reinvent the wheel of Pokemon games, and be innovative and create something more unique.
There's a learning curve to everything in life, but some people struggle in certain things because they have additional difficulty to strive, as an example, language barrier, the majority of softwares and structures are 1st planned for a user that knows english.
English is not my native language, and I'm not really good with computers, but I enjoy having this little experience with game development with rom hacks.
Actually I enjoy doing pixelart a lot more, but as mentioned before, my major dream in a Pokemon game is different regions with different habitats in each of them.
Hopefully I'll able to succeed and finish this project.
Just made an account here to thank you for all the hard work you put on this game. I've been looking for a long time for a hack rom like yours but never found anything close. Unlike others said, i think your rom is pretty unique and when completed it will be for sure my #1 pokemon game of all time! Thank you again and please don't give up.
Thank you for the support!
I understand my hack don't have a lot of modern features, but my main objective is to create an explorable and fun world to have a little longer Emerald adventure.
