Question = Why this game use gold/silver with crystal texture instead of hg/ss?

[J7Jackson]

It will be better if this game's textures use HG/SS texture

why in ice path, this game use crystal texture but gold/silver location (rock formation in the cave)
thanks

the game was originally based strictly on the g/s/c maps
People can make texture packs to replace the things they dont like and make them higher res, etc
it is the same with how the music is all 8-bit
for the most part we just follow our whims on what things should look like but we do try to keep it looking like gen 2

why you dont use gen 4's map like in ice path?
thanks for the answer

Honestly?
Because we dont want to
We might go back some day and make an "upgrade" option that will use the gen 4 maps(gen 2 textures will stay as people can just make content packs to change them(and honestly we aren't all that artistic and using the gen 4 textures would be abit harder ))

Oh god my least favorite question >.>
Honestly everything is just in the "we plan to do this but only have a slight idea as to how" stage
We have most of two regions left to do as well as efficiency and stability issues to fix before we do Hoenn
Hoenn will not start til Alpha and Alpha will not start til we have finished things like the battle system and the moves and Kanto/sevii Islands and done made sure that any sort of connectivity issue is the user's not our :/

We have discussed it but we are not yet at the stage where we really want to share our plans and get input(I have found from past experiences that doing that prematurely get people expecting things that later disappoint them greatly when they aren't there.....)
the two things I will tell you:
a) You will be able to goto Hoenn
b) Your Pokemon will temporarily "reset" for the journey regaining access to everything at some point
All of the technical details for implementation will be dealt with much later........
