    Nice Updates chrunch! I love your mapping. It feels Natural!

    Thanks.

    UPDATE!
    -----------------------------

    I've got some mini updates, with a poll.

    The top two screenshots, I've slightly edited Tiny Town, with the bottom two
    the originals. since I'm not sure what looks better, I'll ask a question:
    which set looks better?

    I say used any, since one of the map is a slight edit.
    But I say the one with sandy edge.

    I just came by to add a comment on your mapping here. It's not just this shot, but almost all of your screens depict that you basically used one of the FR grass tiles to cover the whole map. I think if you varied those tiles a bit (FR has four of them) it could make this map and others look better. Also one other thing I noticed is that you have a lot of flowers. I can't say for sure because I haven't seen all of your maps, but as far as I can see there does seem to be a lot of flowers. :(

    On another note, though, your scripting seems pretty good and I'm liking the story. Good luck with this hack, bud. :3

    edit; also yes the sandy border looks better

    Yeah, I did that because using one grass tile is much easier than swapping grass tiles every few seconds. but If it's really that important, I'll go and change it. I don't think I used that many flowers, but I just often throw them in for scenery. Thanks, anyway. :3
    -------------------------------
    Anyway, the alpha is coming on much faster than expected.
    I just need to do maybe 1 or 2 maps, then all that's left is to finish off scripting (I'm already about 50%) and, finally beta test. Here's a list to show what I've done so far:

    Mapping:
    Tiny Town - Done
    Tiny Path - Done
    Hinder City - Done
    Mt Sledge - Done
    Emerald Path - Done
    DarkWoods - Done
    Pure Path - Done
    Pure Village - Done

    Aqua Path - 0%
    ALPHA 1

    Obviously, I don't want to showcase Pure Path and Pure Village yet,
    but I'll say you WILL meet your first rival in Pure Village.

    I'm revealing Pure Path & Pure Village! :3

    Nothing special, just an average route, but I'm pretty happy with it.

    Pure Village is just a small village to pass by, but it does have one
    interesting place in it... the Berry Shop!
    Pokémon Elite Quest

    Also, the connection to Aqua Path in the screen above,
    (to the right of the player) doesn't work, due to a bug,
    although I'm sure I set the connection properly. :/
    If anyone knows about it, please post it here, I have
    no idea what's happening. D:
    -----------------------
    Anyway, here's the Berry Shop inside:

    Updates!

    The alpha is very close now, mapping is 100% complete! I just need to do some more scripting. :3
    Anyways, I've mapped Azure City, my first Saffron-type city!
    Spoiler:

    Let me know how it is!
    I've noticed that there aren't many screens of scripts, so I'm posting some:
    Pokémon Elite QuestPokémon Elite QuestPokémon Elite QuestPokémon Elite QuestPokémon Elite QuestPokémon Elite QuestPokémon Elite Quest
    And, finally, I've changed the story a bit, so we don't know Team Rocket's motives. :3
    Pokémon Elite QuestPokémon Elite QuestPokémon Elite Quest
    That's all today, expect an alpha coming soon, maybe a week or two, or less, but I'm making no promises.

    Anyways, I've found a cute B/W Pokemon, and I'm debating whether to insert it. I don't want to insert any others, I just want to insert it, yet I'm not sure, since we don't know B/W Pokemon english names. Let me know your opinion!

    All B/W moves, stats, and 99% of their data is released on almost every site with a regularly-updated Pokedex.

    But anyway, we still don't know their english names.

    Another fakemon, this time sprited by me! :3
    Credits to Quilava Master for the idea (although we both thought of it, he got to releasing it first, therefore making it his idea).

    (and no, you can't catch level 8 Equils in the wild...)
    As I said before, I'm still wondering whether to post a few (about 5) B/W
    Pokemon. Post your opinion! :3

    wow! Exeggcute i've always adored that pokemon but why not edit it's base stats :P and moves and it'll be good :D
    I've already edited all the starter moves, but I don't think it's needed to edit their stats. :3

    Updates!

    I didn't have time to do anything today, so I'll just show Azure Path (Previously known as Aqua Path), since I haven't shown it yet:

    I read the story, and I think it's pretty mystifying, yet simple. The title screen look pretty well done. I think that you should use the old doors for the Lab and player's houses. It looks much better that way.
    I think I'll put this in my "Play the beta" list ;D

    You can try reposing Equil's sprite. And now, there are Equil, Minun and Plusle.
    Will there are be one with a dividing symbol and also one with a multiplying symbol?
