Garry was supposed to be a Pokémon Map Editor better than EliteMap and AdvanceMap combined. I haven't worked on it since I stopped working on OpenPoké.

I stopped OpenPoké because it didn't matter anymore, being a 3rd gen game while we already have at this time five 4th gen games. To be more precise, that's what "pushed me over the edge" to finally stop it.

The obvious question is, would Garry still make a difference?

The original Super Mario Bros. came out over twenty years ago, yet people still hack it. Age is a pretty bad reason to give up on a project for which you cared enough to make a thread.

I say finish it.

That may be true for SMB, but Pokemon is effectively the same game over and over again.

If you want my opinion, Kawa. The important thing is what you want to do with it. I say you should finish it if you feel the project shouldn't go unfinished.

Although, I will say that I know several people who are really interested in Pokemon Advance hacking, and I'm sure they would appreciate the tool.

Where's the "grow a pair and do the project because you want to do it, whether it gets used or not" option?

Nonsense. Every game in a series is the same game over and over again, with just enough switched up to keep it fresh. Both Pokemon and Mario are prime examples of this; sameness is simply more noticeable in Pokemon games because they're RPGs and we typically spend far longer playing them than we would any single Mario title.

I change my vote to what Arbe said.

	I say go for it; I don't hack pokemon, but if I ever do, I'd want to hack with the best possible editor available. Plus if it's user-friendly enough, people will choose to hack pokemon advance instead if it has a greater ease than hacking other pokemon games. (Say, the DS games once they get hacked) ____________________

Kawa, dammit, just finish this so you can say you've actually finished something you've started.

I'm sure people would love this. I say go for it.

Yeah, get a project done. You'll feel good afterward

Besides, it's not like some enterprising Rom hacker couldn't add the new DS Pokemon/Features if they were dedicated.

A "d" on "Ading".

But seriously, Kawa, the stuff you show looks good and polished to me (although I think I mostly remember OpenPoké, not sure), so I encourage you to keep going and finish this. It'll make you feel better, too... You'll be able to stay "I did that", rather than "I could have done that" or "I almost did that". Plus, it's valuable coding experience.
Just make sure to properly prioritize things to make your goal easier to reach, avoid wasting time on unimportant things (keep them for later or just don't do them), and so on.

Garry is written in .net but Mono compatible right?

If you want me to test the compatibility on the mac side, give me a yell.

This is me yelling. Ask Matt for his copy until I finish the todo list's Maps category.

Kawa I'm glad to see you're sticking with this. Whether you think it's too old or not, I know the finished tool will see a bunch of use.

Well, inferring from who the other beta tester is, I'd say it's Interdpth
