ok, i'm not making the other game anymore now i am just going to focus on Opal...or rather, opal version 2!
Opal version 2 is the same game, but different...i wasn't happy with opal so now i have started opal version 2. (now just Pokemon Opal)
Pokemon Opal is almost the same, i mean the maps are different and all, but the story (soon to come, i've thought of it...i just haven't put it into words) and characters are still the same.
EDIT - Also in Pokemon Opal, the first town, beige town, looks almost exactly the same as Pallet Town
Here is a screen:
(there aren't any people as i haven't made any events yet)
