[Denied] Quick suggestion on the implementation of Johto

[Xatu]

I think alot of people want johto implemented because alot of people grew up playing it.  Me included.  I think it could be possible with the addition of another rom that has been IPS patched.

 

There exists multiple rom hacks that create a johto region basically exactly like it was in GSC (minus being able to surf to kanto:( ) I think the best known one is Pokemon shiny gold.  This is a hack of fire red so i dont know if this would interfere with the game already using fire red resources.  There is also a new updated rom hack called Pokemon Shiny Gold Sigma.  That hack includes the orange islands among other things.

 

Assuming that having the game run resources from 2 of the same roms will simply not work, I managed to find a rom hack that hacks ruby version into johto version http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=202176

 

The devs could include the IPS and a patching program and instruct us to get the ruby rom in order for the resources to be used. 

 

If this ends up being a viable Idea then it might even be possible for us to implement sinnoh through a similar method.  http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=333361 Let me know what you think guys and I'm sorry in advance if this is a stupid idea that is completely not even possible lol!

Yeah i understand why they wouldnt be.  I guess if we were to go in this direction we should use one of the more extensively played rom hacks like shiny gold etc.

The devs are not interested in using rom hacks for this project. We will also not provide information on how to obtain roms as well.

That being said future regions are not out of the question but they are most certainly not on the radar at this time.
