So Gen 1 games are easier to make cause ive been thinking about making my own hack.
As Danny said, no.
Even 2nd generation hacks might be easier...
If you are beginner you are better with hacking 3rd generation ROMs as they have most tools.

I think that difficulty is a wrong word for thinking about, "Is hacking Gen I easier than gen II or possibly gen III ?". It's like this;

There aren't any game-specific tools for hacking gen I or gen II that would give you keys to do anything you'd like. You always need the background knowledge of what you're doing.
Gen I is "the most difficult" since almost everything is accomplished with hex editors, assemblers and disassembly. In gen II, there's a scripting engine but making use of it requires a lot of background knowledge about Gameboy and how it works. Gen III is coded so that you're able to do a lot of stuff without knowing anything about the games and how they're coded.

So if you wanted to do a simple hack, a gen III game would be the most simple option. If you wanted to go for something bigger and knew what you were doing all along, it wouldn't matter much if you want to hack gen I, II or III.

Yeah, I think the way miksy put it is pretty good. Hacking a gen I game is more tedious, time consuming and less intuitive, which may be seen as synonymous to "harder".

No, at this point, there is no way to estimate how long til the entire game is finished.

Now I don't want to put a target on my back or anything if this turns out to be wrong, but I really want a first beta of two gyms to be out by the end of the summer. No promises.
It is worth mentioning that I only want to release a single demo for my hack, and then the full game. I don't like the idea of having a million different betas floating around.

Also, I added my own custom devamp of the FRLG Cueball sprite!

What do you think?

This looks great! Can't wait to play the demo!
Thanks!
Well i cant wait! How many legendaries will be in it?
All of em! The birds will all be in the same place. Mew will be a new event! And I can't tell you where Mewtwo will be! That would defeat the whole purpose of the game! ;)

I just wanted to drop by again and say hello, great job so far, and please keep up to good work!

Also, I added my own custom devamp of the FRLG Cueball sprite!

What do you think?
I think it looks amazing!
It looks a lot better the Gen I Cue Ball.
The Gen I sprite was just an obese biker guy. :p

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I really hope you finish this 100% I think I've only played one Gen I rom hack that was finished and that was Pokemon Brown. Anyway I think this will be good for both of us because It'll get the word out about this hack :3
