    playing the 3rd Generation engine more than the 4th.

  • Sounds good. I never got to play Crystal and for some reason haven't gotten an emulator yet but this now gives me and opportunity!

    The only thing is that those grass tiles are looking a bland and plain. You may want to think about adding a few more NPCs just so it looks a little more filled. Maybe some bushes too.

    This hack looks very interesting. A Pokemon Crystal remake with 700+ Pokemon. I am quite concerned about the Maps though. They need much more work.

    If this is going to be a demake those maps hopefully aren't final, they fail to line up with hg/ss or even the original gsc (note i played crystal countless times due to it being my first game i know the map like the back of my hand so don't try to refute the latter and i was just recently playing through Sacred gold so that map is fresh inmy mind).

    Though do you plan to do any level adjusting (i doubt that anyone will argue that the level curve was royally screwed up due to the fact you could go either way out of ecruteak and it never really corrected itself).

  • This hack seems cool. I'm really excited for the 700+ Pokémon and Mega evolution! But in your testing New Bark Town video did you catch that your head was being cut off by a tile (0:23)?

  • I love this! But how are you going to cram 700+ Pokemon into two regions without making the game feel like there are too many options? Also, I can Beta Test if you'd like.

  • I see a lot of things that can be better, the maps are very big and very ugly, you only put many houses in a grass tile, please put more decorations like paths, flowers, water, npc's, and not make geometric maps, try to make better maps than the original.
    Take my hints and your hack could be look better c:

    I've been looking around trying to find a map resource, the best i've found is psypokes which only has dungeons, serebii's pokearth only has limited screenshots for hgss despite for some other games they have complete area maps, so really short of playing through and mapping as you go there aren't a lot of good options for mapping the overworld.

    here is the psypokes link:
