That may be what it was yeah. I remember also when Shiny Gold did come out a few others were released based off it too.

Sadly I do not, I apologize! This was back in 2004-2005. I just remember it was based off Firered and was done around the same time people made the global warming Firered version that I played a lot of.

I remember during the “eternity” in between Gen 3 and 4 sprite-work had started becoming popular as had tilemap-work, with the common words being decolors and recolors, decolors being taking the newer sprites and remaking them for an older style, while the recolors was the opposite direction. I remember on TRSrockin, Lugia’s Den, and Mewthree’s Domain learning tutorials on this, and even having contests for it.

Fast forward to 2006 and people were making romhacks of Johto in Firered and Ruby, but also trying to make Hoenn in Gold, and some even so far as to try making Johto in Red. It was not perfect, but it was enjoyable. I even got into the fun of it too, having a lot of fun making romhacks. One such I remember distinctly involved a Tyranitar on the main screen, and was based in Gen 2, and was honestly phenomenal to play.

Needless to say, the difference I found in my life between the games officially made, and the fangames was that the fangames were not limited by policies of the company, and were only limited by the technology, and the passion of the creator or sometimes creators. Today we live in a modern world, with such projects as Pokemon Red KEP truly exemplifying that spirit with the limitless power of the decomp projects and community.

I have heard a lot of good about it, and am glad to hear that it is well-deserved. I may make time to watch it in time myself.

There are some campaigns where I will make it where a race would not exist because of lore or history reasons, such as Yuan-ti all being sealed and banished away for example.

I wish it would be possible, but the amount of work to convert would make it more difficult than not. Honestly, I would love to see more community centers made from the abandoned malls at least as a starting point, and then go from there.

2 hours for the city to city yeah. It is closer to 3 and a half hours for those of us who are in the more rural communities.

As someone who lives in Colorado, I see no issues with them actually creating more options for transit.
