The Nostalgic Pokemon Emerald Hack

[[robo9]]

this project looks awesome, though I wish you would keep Hoenn's culture intact.
(keep Brendan, May and key characters but just devamp them for the Awesomest Effect. screw the rest of 'em you can use the old GSC trainers)

Well I was planning on using Brendan and May for the rivals, and using Gold and Kris for the protagonist. Not exactly set in stone though.

but is there any reason for omitting the other 135 pokes? besides keeping it old-school?

Well that, and there's not exactly GSC sprites for all of the other 135 I believe. I don't have the ability to do it, and I believe the project here died down.

It IS Hoenn you're running around in, right? The whole thing wouldn't feel right without at least Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza, being they're the reference points in the game's lore ):

Well yes, however I was planning on replacing the trio with Ho-Oh, Lugia, and (Mewtwo I guess?) Not exactly cannon, but I thought it was kind of creative and that idea was fairly well received at the other forum I have this posted to.
