Eh? Why is this return? Did you give up and restart? Meh! Anyway,

This game is awesome. I love the tiles and the Hiro sprite is amazing.

He is using emerald.

Emerald has many advantges for this hack that Firered didnt but the data is unstable. Back up often

Yes in english, if you want I can help you with the crystal text.

It's good to see you're continuing with this. The maps look really good.

Yep, Kike... Make sure to be extra careful with Emerald, you can see what happens by having a look at Liquid Ocean... Backup after every two seconds... :P

And, by the way... Make sure to state more clearly it's a hack of Emerald, because it looks soooo much like FR that may lead people to actually think it is FR... XD

Are you doing this project on your free time of Opal/Coral or what? ('cause I'll keep on saying that making two projects at once is madness...)

Anyway, good luck, my good G/S Remake competitor & friend! :D

looks super awsome good work and best hopes for u compleating it XD

I like it, this will be great, emerald hack with Fr tiles and sprites. But what about the bike, different houses for male and female trainer and the Truck start??? But anyway, good luck.

Haha, i think Emerald is very stable, more that FR xD, anyways, i always do backups.
Maybe Battle Frontier Data can get corrupted, but i tested them, and they are ok.
And Opal & Coral... i need an assistant for that xD

Bike, Mach Bike as the Default. Acro Bike in an Extra Event (Yes two at same time) ^_^
Umm, different houses? I'm just using the Male House, and i think that i will do exactly same rooms for male and female trainers xD
Truck, you start in you room, but with an rumble and no music.

Ok, here, new screenshots:
























Ok, that's all, Credits to Fangking Omega for Johto Complete Tileset.

GSC Remake as an Emerald hack? Good idea, Emerald sure gives you more possiblities.

Well I like your mapping.

And I think you know about the fact that yu can import new midis into the hack I.E dp music. Maybe you could try and import some revamped GSC music.

Looking very nice, Kike. Your mapping is great. By the way, what happened to Crystal Shards before?

I love it! It looks superb Kike ^_^

It's amazing how you made it look so much like FR/LG, you know I'm surprised someone hasn't made a ROM base like that yet (O_o)

Did you have change the palletes before you could insert the tiles?

(I Love GSC Remakes ^_^)

Hey, thanks for the comments, here a new screenshot:


Is not so much, is the FRLG "!" Symbol, and a BRAND NEW TEXTBOX!

I hope u like them, Cya!

I like the text box, I just waited for a more "crystalish":P one because the emerald one does not look good in a Crystal remake.

Dude, this is Awesome! Can't wait for this to be done!
Btw, you are going to add the GSC Music, right? =P

awesome to see this being continued

So you're using Emerald to do Crystal Shards now Kike? It's nice to hear from you again, and I woth the usage of FR tiles, how can I tell that it's an Emerald hack? Keep it up! ;)

Hi i must say i'm very excited about this hack, because it will feel more like pokemon crystal since in pokemon emerald the pokemon have animitations... good luck with your hack! Cant wait for a beta!

Oh Kike If you want I could Revamp some Crystal Pokémon with Emeralds Animations if you want.

It's looking great! ^_^

Will the PCC (Big Pokemon Centre) be in it? And Celebi?
