All of the maps are based on one single map that doesn't have stones in the middle of it like many of the maps introduced in the video do. I first made the base map and "copy, pasted" it 7 times in blank space following the base map (there are 8 rooms in total I think). And yes, each map is connected into four sides and some of them are connected to themselves too.

There are also three other maps of which one is the entrance map you see in the video. But there are also the other entrance map and one other cave map I don't feel like mentioning here. *See for yourself whenever I get a new release up.

Well, go for your own cave idea if you want to. As a bit of advice, there are two things you've to take in account:
1) When going through a map connection in maps that use one of the primary header bytes as [Cave], sprites don't get loaded in ram. To make that little cutscene happen in the cave, I had to load the sprite of that guy into VRAM by including it as a hidden person also in each entrance map (where a warp leads).
2) When a wild pokemon battle is gone through and the map is re-loaded, "spritebugs" appear (not sure how this actually works, I didn't pay much attention in trying to fix it). *Has something to do with the fact that the battle sprites remain in VRAM but still, I wasn't able to get the cutscene working properly if wild pokemon appeared in inner parts of the cave. It might have worked if I had added warps to every single cave map although they would have left nowhere. Of course the "proper" way to do the stuff would be seeing what kind of map loading process is used in Caves, altering it to match with the purpose etc.

So yeah, having the places connected by warps is definitely the way to go if you're going to add your own maze. If it's not a big deal that there wouldn't be wild pokemon around, you can also implement it the way I did with this place.

Here's sort of a progress update:

Thanks, yet no idea when Beta 4 will be up. There is still a long way to go to finishing it so I can't say anything for now. I've planned what it's going to contain though so that's where the last statement was pulled off.

To make them work through bluetooth, you've to hack your mobiles so that bluetooth works like a GB link cable. Done.

The whole upper room of Pokecenters will likely be gone in the next release though because I've a good reason for not obtaining 2 pokemon through trading.

Oh woah, an amazing banner.
I'm gonna put that on my PC signature.

I'm surprised you didn't use the Guardian sprite though..!

Ha, a clue! So the girl's backsprite will be important indeed.
I've actually held off playing the current 3.1 Beta because I want to start over and play with the other available sprites.
So I am hoping that other playable sprites are available earlier in the game.

I've finished my "first, real" asm hack!
Some people in Pokecommunity suggested making gym leaders as Move Tutors after they're beaten because their pokemon often have moves you couldn't get your own pokemon of the same kind to learn. Yesterday evening, I finished my first move tutor script so I figured I could also upload a video of it. It's still lacking some sound effects but other than that, I won't be changing it anymore.

Cool, why aren't you using the "Select Pokemon from Pokemon menu" but checking for first Sandshrew (or Sandslash)? Is this too hard or do you just prefer this way? I don't mean TM learning window where it says "able/not able" because I know Pokemon would need extra data for that.

I'm trying to learning hacking and it will be help me(your tutorial).

nice game i add newest version in jar when it comes up.

Probably next year, it wouldn't have affected the story at all.

By the way, Danger is lurking ahead!

So, we could battle that Super Onix in Pokemon Dark Future ? Thats a great idea :D

I spy a Celebi Shrine in the first screenshot!

These are looking pretty cool. I'm curious how you get around the issue with becoming stuck if you walk into a blind corner (like the one above the hill with the old woman) while someone is following you (since you can't walk through people). I once experimented with letting someone follow you around town for something and kept having trouble with this in the past. But anyways, looking good as always. Keep up the awesome work.
