FireRed hack: [Hack of the Year 2009] Pokémon: Azure Horizons

Please avoid posting in threads that have been dead for years.
 
I liked this hack very much back in 2010, it's a pity that it was never finished, but luckily, there are so many unused content in this hack which can be used to at least finish the Zephyr Region. I know there's no way I can add too many new events since I know nothing about the original plan about the storyline. But still, I managed to complete the whole region.

I have fixed these things:
(1)The titlescreen.
(2)You may not be able to leave Amethyst Gym.
(3)Some glitched tiles.
(4)Some Pokemon's broken movepool.

I have added these things:
(1)All the hero and heroine's OWs.
(2)Rival's OWs and sprite.
(3)Heroine's backsprite.
(4)All the unfinished towns, paths and gyms.
(5)The OWs and sprites for the rest of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four.
(6)Some legendary Pokemon.

Awesome, I can't wait to play! Azure Horizons has been one of my main inspirations for years now so I'm excited to see your take on how it should end.

Some typos I noticed early on in the game:

The rival in his post-battle dialogue in Route 801: "someting" .
Prof. Alder in his dialogue when giving you the Pokédex: "Pokémon Leauge"

His mods are usually unopinionated and don't add much in the way of events. I could be wrong.
 
Updated OP with hacksrepairman's patch. I've kept the attachment to the original intact for preservation purposes. Moved to Studio since the screens are somewhat intact but if anyone would like to provide non-photobucket ones I'd be happy to update the post.
 
Bugs at the start of the game:
I can go through a glass closet in professor lab(to the right)
A block can not go through in morphic tunnel(4 steps to the left of camper tyler),there are few more... But not a big problem tho
A team tundra grunt(a men) in tundra warehouse has a poochyena knows water sport and wing attack???
Sorry for my bad English

Thank you for telling me about those, I have fixed these along with some other wrong dialogue like these.

Thank you for reporting, I have fixed these along with some other tiles glitches.

Update: I found that the Coin Case was unobtainable in the previous patch, this is why I added someone who gives the Coin Case in Dordoran City, and some minor glitches were fixed in this patch as well.
The old download link still works:

I found the coin case inside house idk where it is but its npt my problem. My problem now is how can i access galena says its lock and polaris too
 
I would fix the gym in Galena City to make sure the bridges don't disappear as if you leave the gym the bridges go bye bye.

Thank you for telling me about this, looks like I made a mistake writing the map header script, this is fixed now.

Ace trainer caroline in the gym in hazel town has a pidgeotto knows grass whistle (which it can not learn,right?),the gym leader girl's skarmory knows lovely kiss too ...
Or it is the creator/ur purpose to make the game harder?
Near the exit of windward forest(route 811) a sign
"West to Fushia city" I believe it should be Dordoran city?
So,i have finished the hack,it was much shorter than i expected.I remembered play the first beta a long time ago so when i see u-hacksrepairman-finish the hack,i was so happy.This hack has so many potentials,the evil team,the bug guy met in scarlet forest(i thought he could be an e4),...-so sad the creator discontinued it
But still,thank you so much!i really appreciated!
