Hi Snowpeople,
I discovered your project few days ago. Hope you are doing well in your new job!!!
Is recently I began to have interest in Pokemon Rom hacks, and for me the biggest appeal is the quantity of regions and pokemons available. But your project have a bonus, the story of Kanto and Johto.
I began few attempts to begin to learn how to modify the game. And using your rom as base I finally started to have some progress. The first thing I did is a dream I have by a long time... Add Hoenn in the same game of Kanto and Johto to be playable.
I used the 2.2 hard version as a base. Changed trainers to have better ai, items, all with 6 pokemons. Only Gym leaders and notable foes have Evs. Updated pokemon sprites, trainers, redraw some overworld sprites.
I added the overworld, and now I began to add the dungeons. Wild pokemons are added in the maps as well. I'm considering Hoenn as a post game.
After this I want to learn the basics of script to add the NPCs and turn Hoenn Alive. Long term I want to learn how to expand the pokedex and add new pokémons
Thank you very much, your game was really inspirational to me.
