Thanks! This is actually done all in the Pokecrystal engine. It's crazy how under-utilized the graphics engine was in gen 2, lol. A lot of the new tiles I've been using were made by others though, particularly Rangi, she made mockups of like 3 different Unova maps in pokecrystal, and let me use the tiles from them, lol.

Question: How do I evolve Onix or other trade evolutions? Do you use a Link Stone in order to do that???

My dude! This looks absolutely gorgeous. The tiles are so eye catching, it's crazy! Man, gamefreak could have really pushed the gameboy color to have quality graphics.

Thanks! I got a lot of help from Rangi and some of the pixel artists on her discord channel. It's crazy what we can do with this 20 year old hardware engine, lol!

I don't have any concrete plans for them yet, though I haven't 100% decided what all will be in the postgame, so that could be a good suggestions for some optional extra fights.

Would love to see some route comparisons. Other than that the cities look good.

Gosh, I'm absolutely loving the way you are going about your mapping with those gorgeous tiles. Eagerly waiting on the rebranded demo!

I got a question, is this game still a thing?

Exactly what has been running through my mind. I guess we'll just have to wait till Azure keys pops by again.

For some reason Demo 3 refuses to run after I patch it to a clean rom. Neither of the two visual boy emulators seem to be willing to run it.
