    Also- how do you feel about 6th gen pokemon taking up a majority of pokemon in the game?
    Also- what do you think about starters from other regions being a rare pokemon in tall grass instead of one time?
    And number 3 lol- what about 4th 5th and 6th gen music? Id like to switch it up.

    Agreed. The storyline on the thread seems dark, im not sure what to do however. Given the storyline, do you have any suggestions? Nothings comming to me. I was thinking prehaps that the evil team are pure idiots? Nothings comming to me, how about you?

    Yes, with the storyline. There's something that we need to accomplish with it that makes any hack good; that thing is combining humor and drama. It's a very finicky thing to do, but if done right, it makes it shine like platinum. It's something a friend of mine did in his hacks, specifically the hacker Hinkage in his hacks, Pokémon 2Awesome and Pokémon Hyetology. And it's something I'm doing in Dragonstone too.

    Haha, yeah i meant fan made like Wesley, not strait up DP tiles.

    So do you mean coustom designs on the text boxes? I like the idea, but i personaly think that mugshots should be on occasion, just as something to connect you to the characters.
    And yeah, i dont like transparent textboxes, they are such a damn hassle to code for every box, and frankly arent too nice in certian situations.
    Also- do you have any suggestions for anything? I mean like graphic things, music, etc :) id love to hear what you want.

    The custom tiles in Dragonstone were the biggest pain in the butt I ever had with ROM hacking, and after that I was glad I was done. As for D/P/Pt trees, I'd disadvise using anything that was originally 3D, since (more often than not) the dimensions bleed over and require a lot of extra tile space to work with because of it. Why not use some fan-made tiles? They usually look pleasant, and more often than not require minimal modifications to the blocks to insert (i.e. we won't have to do a complete tile overhaul).

    As for mugshots, I'll say this. They do look nice, but personally I think they're a little overrated, kinda like the translucent text boxes. Creating a custom text box, on the other hand, would be a great idea. :D

    Can you insert any tiles? I know it would be going out of the way for you, but if you could maybe help out putting in some Diamond/Pearl trees, that would help out so much :) also, what do you think about having mugshots (trainers picture) in important scripts? I could show you where to put it, but we would only need it for certian important scripts.
