I had nothing better to do so I designed a new library. It's up to you if you use it, I don't mind if you don't.
Spoiler:
It's based on the museum in Pewter City from FireRed. I personally like option 3 the best.
Here are also four images with just the library:
Noice! Although they all look great, I'd have to say that #3 and #5 are my favorites.
@KLM_SpitFire Your coverart inspired me to make a cover too! I hope you like it!
Spoiler:
I dig it. Nice job Porto.
I was thinking the same thing. If anyone is willing to provide any insight into this I'd greatly appreciate it!

It's implemented in the next Beta release
Patience is a virtue. Trying to rush things will make the Beta come out with poor quality (Or the unwanted quality that was expected to be).
It will be worth the wait once it comes out, so, please be pantient

Have to say that after pokémon Glazed this is the best hack I've ever played.
One thing I'd like to see is more challenging gym battles though. I understand it's hard to make them of the right difficulty, but there are ways of making it more interesting. In adventure red there were battles where before the battle started, all your pokémons were frozen/poisoned/paralyzed/... , which made the fight a lot more fun.
Another way is working with a variable leveling system, where the gym leader's pokémons are always x levels (3 or so) above yours. I'm not sure if something like that is possible to code in, although I do know that variable pokémon teams are possible from pokémon Glazed, where Mewto had a team exactly like the one you started fighting him with.
Anyway, it's not real criticism other than a suggestion. It's still a great hack in all aspects. Love the fact that you can get gen6 pokémon, with which I've never played before. Anyway, keep up the good work!

I'm pretty sure Ice said that torterra and infernape relate to the ancient feel of the game. Also, he just likes the sinnoh starters I think xD
First, gorgeous looking game! I really dig the concept. c:
Apologies if this has been covered somewhere previously, but I can't get the beta to work for some reason. I patched it as usual and then tried to the game with VisualBoyAdvance, but all I get is a white screen. Does anyone know what might be up?

The Windmist Theme is the original composition I've heard in the game so far. Nice dude. Well, the song is better in 2x speed and pitch. XD

To add on to what AllTimeIndie said: Spherical originally thought about making Tangela, Swinub, and Yanma starter choices. However, after much deliberation amongst the fan community, he ended up using the gen 4 starters.

I think Town Map as a name is fine, anything else would either be inaccurate (World Map) or weird (Region Map). Orbtus Map could work, but I'm too lazy to text edit everything for that, haha.
Thank you! I've added yours, and the other fan art, to the first post!
Ah, I should clarify that that is only true for Beta 2, which is currently unreleased.
I know, I'm sorry! I'm trying to do things as fast as possible but exams are fast approaching and I can't spend too much time on this.
Thank you!
That's a very interesting suggestion! At the moment I feel I've perfected the level curve for Beta 2, so I won't be trying to adjust the current system yet, but it would be a neat addition for a Hard Edition or something, definitely! I appreciate the suggestion.
They're the starters! At the beginning, I had planned to use the AncientPower evolution Pokémon, but ultimately decided against it due to balance reasons.
Thank you!
Thank you! Windmist City's theme is indeed great, thanks to the amazing giradialkia!
I'm sorry! I hope you believe me when I say I'm working on it basically every bit of free time I have (more or less, lol) perfecting it. I want it to be as good as possible for you guys!
As most of the work I've been doing are bug fixes, balance adjusting and other, small things, here's a pitifully small update to tide you guys over:
This features the new, fixed snow effect by daniilS, as well as the TM Poké Ball sprite, in line with how they appear in Generation 6!

I don't get it, everyone's talking about updates and stuff but the latest version I see is Beta 1.1. Am I missing something here? :C
Nope, you're not missing anything here :)
We just talk about new updates because that's the sign that the beta's coming nearer and nearer.
I've been lurking on this for a while, and I have to say, you've done a wonderful job sir. The graphics are exquisitely utilized, and the many mechanics you've added to modernize the FRLG base ROM makes it all that much better. Can't wait for more.
