I am hoping that they are seperate only until you beat a certain objective(usually the E4 but it might be(say for g/s/c) a major character(like red)) but idk
I think I'd rather have it be all the gyms since I'd want to be able to use Pokemon from other regions to battle the elite four.

The only issue there is the curve...so maybe we just son't make it curved?
if we get there we will decide but that will probably be 2-3 years off
I honestly don't see the problem with a curved road. It still uses a grid system and intermediate blocks(half road/half grass kinda thing) could be used to make it look less blocky. It would take a while to get right though.
The thing is the way nintendo did it made it straight and the camera reangled to make it feel curved
So if and when we get to that point we might have to add some features....but as I said that is a long ways off

Which is why it would have to be completely from scratch. Importing it wouldn't give you that curve. Either way would be fine though. I imagine in the end that time would better be spent working on other things though. Of course, as you've said, it's so far off that it doesn't really matter anyways.

Edit: I just realized I never actually said it would have to be from scratch. Oops...

By "from scrach" do you mean like remaking the design and then making it?
Or do you think we have something that takes the original maps and gives a semi accurate conversion(I don't know why I am thinking you are thinking this but I am so I am asking) because we don't....everything is made from either a copy of one of the maps you have or is made with a blank file that entitys are then copy pasted and edited to fit

I suppose I'm implying it won't simply be looking at the "map file" from the game and creating the map straight from it. Instead it would require moving around in the ds game trying to get a feel for how it should look and using that and the "map file" to make it by trial and error until it looks about the same as it does with the goofy camera angles.

This is great! You guys are so close to having Johto completed... Possibly just one more Month and you'll be starting on Kanto! ;)

You could just fishbowl the 'lens' for that city's viewport to give it that illusion :cyclops:

I got a question. Will this update be on time(exactly 17mins like the counter says) or I should just go to bed and get it tomorrow ?
