I tried making a Platinum demake back in the day, and it was pretty crappy, as I was just getting into hacking, and there were so many things that I was clueless as to how I was actually gonna pull off.
From just a quick playthrough of this short release I can say I'm definitely impressed. You've defied the limits that prevented me from continuing with my project, and successfully ported Platinum over to GBA.
Note however, that I did say port. Although this isn't a bad thing--In fact in many ways it can be considered a good thing--it didn't feel like a demake, but rather like I was actually playing Platinum on a GBA emulator. I feel like this is mostly due to the graphics style. It looks exactly like Platinum, In my opinion this hack could benefit greatly from a change of graphics.
However, I do understand that the Red version is intended as a full remake, so this is more a suggestion for the Blue version, as you're planning to mix some stuff up with that.
Also; The doors don't open when you enter a building, though I'm sure you probably are aware of this already.
Either way, I'm definitely a fan, I don't usually follow ROM hacks anymore but this one has my attention. Good luck!
