Greetings, I have been a long time follower of this project, and I just now made an account as to reply after I saw that you had posted again recently, and that this project hasn't been abandoned as so many other hack projects have been. I have never actually hacked myself, but I have spent hundreds of hours researching to the point where I feel like I have a decent grasp on how the systems works, but have not mastered it. Now to get to the point, I was following another thread for Pokemon Mind Crystal which looks as if it has been abandoned (last update was 2014.) His hack has many simmilarities to yours, but I did notice one thing he had incorporated that stood out to me amongst his list. He was able to add a small but awesome hack for a gender dependent storyline, which he (Mero Mero) demos on his YouTube channel (link below.) I spent forever trying to see if he had uploaded that particular patch independently, or if someone had replicated it. I even tried to isolate the particular files he had changed, but to no avail. Anyways, even if I had, the dialogue for his hacks are in French as he patches to a French version of HG/SS. (Changing dialogue is something I haven't figured out yet too.) I found a translated version of Mind Crystal that someone had translated, but they had ONLY translated dialogue, and none of the menus or icons as well as being one of his older versions (I can link the file if you are at all interested.) Anyways, I was wondering if you ever planned on incorporating anything like this in your hack. I also know that you don't ever plan on adding fairy types to this hack, but I saw there was a way to do it in case you would ever want to do it in future projects. Assuming you have not seen any of the projects I am referring to, Mero Mero has some incredible in-depth tutorials on how to add them, or you could even take his and change the language on the type icon to have a fully functioning fairy type patch as I believe he has those files up somewhere. He has some of the best explanations of how the code in HG/SS works that I have ever seen, and some of his work on these particular roms has been groundbreaking for the community. In conclusion, I just wanted to bring these things to your attention in case you had not seen them or thought of them and I am sorry for the lengthy reply. Your work is fantastic, and I have had a TON of fun playing your hacks, and you have been my favorite modder to follow for a while now. Thank you for all your time and work, and I will not be offended if none of this interests you, I just wanted to help in any way I could in what I consider to be the greatest HG/SS rom hack out there to date. Keep up the good work! Mahalo!
