Ruby hack: Pokemon Ruby: Advanced [Alpha 1]

Pokemon: Ruby Advanced

Introduction:
Hello there, Im Nex and Ive been hacking since a long time now, mostly only graphical stuff, if you want to check out my old projects to see what I can you can search for "Pokemon Distortion Black" or "Pokemon Firered NDS Style", Pokemon Firered Style was also like this game.

Everytime I play Pokemon Ruby I think it looks outdated in every single way,I tryed to improve it since ages but now
this is the first project that got suscessfull,the main goal of this project is to update the graphics and maps of this game to a more decent style.
This is a side project, there will be maybe a lack of updates in time.

Features:
(there will be maybe more added in time)
-Every Map has been updated to a more fresh style
-Updated Tilesets and Graphics
-Snow In Hoenn
-Restoration of unused Content
-Pokemon from Gen 1-3 are now catchable
-New Events
-New Places
-Bigger Battle Frontier
-Some Things from Emerald are now in Ruby
-Things I maybe forgot ( ;-; )

Screenshots:
we all love them, dont we? *outdated screenshots*

Nvm, it was an error with my browser, indeed xD..
Welp.. it looks.. err.. not so good as Burning Ruby D:
For the features i thought it would have a 4th or 5th Gen style, for example xD..
I'll still stay tuned to look how it progress anyway <3

@AtecainCorp. No thanks
 
Observations:

Spoiler:


I'll edit this post if i need to add more observations.

EDIT:
Another bug, the hidden item at Petalburg Woods (Which should be a potion or an X-something iirc) is, for some reason, a "???????" item.
Spoiler:


EDIT2:
Another "????????" in another of the secret spots at Petalburg Woods.
Spoiler:


EDIT3:
It just happened again in Route 104..
Spoiler:


EDIT4:
Seriously, what the heck did you do to my beloved hidden item spots dude!? :c
Spoiler:


EDIT5:
This doesn't make too much sense.

EDIT6:
And this either, not only because of the Japanese? Text, but because there's no way in hell you could get a Ship that big, from a small spot like that.
Making the ship look up would make a lot more sense.
However, the idea looks cool, will this get us to some new Region?
Because that would be awesome.

EDIT7:
Thank you for not removing the Secret Bases, is one of those features i've learned to love after using them a bit <3

EDIT8:
Welp.. just finished this Alpha and the only thing i need to add, is that the warp from Route 116 to Verdanturf Tunnel is kinda wrong.
It must leave you one step in front of it, not inside it..
