[Silver Hack] Pokémon Sterling Silver

Since discussion of this old hack often comes up in other threads (particularly the threads for my other hacks, and occasionally in others) I thought I would make a thread for this hack.

Please note that this hack is canceled and unsupported!
Several ideas and concepts are being re-used in Pokémon Christmas and Pokémon Spirits and Legends.

Note from Mateo:
Since this hack is canceled, I am open to the idea of letting someone else continue it for me. I reserve the right to re-use the features Pyro and I came up with in other hacks, of course, but if you are interested in taking over this hack, contact me via e-mail or Facebook and we can discuss it. I still have a lot of random notes and things related to the hack lying around that I could send you if you do continue this project.

Hack Name: Pokémon Sterling Silver: Cry of Celebi
Hack of: Pokémon Silver
Author: Mateo, Pyro
Hack Status: Canceled

Story:
This hack takes place in the Johto Region, approximately 3 years after Gold and Silver version. You play as a kid from New Bark Town, who sets out on a Pokémon Adventure. The Kanto region is unabled to be explored, as it was hit by a typhoon prior to the events of the hack. The plan was to have the second region be a completely new area, that I think was named LATIO. The hack was also going to include underwater areas as well, but I don't remember if any of them made it into the game before it was canceled. Tilesets and a few test maps exist, however.

What's New:
- Play as the character from Pokémon TCG for Gameboy
- Rival is the female player from Pokémon Crystal
- New Pokemon Family
- Pokémon from Gen III added
- Many maps redone to reflect changes over time
- Addition of "PokéMobile", a Key Item representing the Mobile Adapter from Japanese Pokémon Crystal
 - A "Skeetendo Mall Event"
 - The "Mobile Room" in Goldenrod City's Pokémon Communication Center
- New in-game trades (not just replaced originals)
- Practice Battle Machines
- Porygon Simulators
- More

...The Ruin of Alph was part of Egypt? owo

Well, that's actually not ruins of alph, and pyramids weren't only made in Egypt. But I forget at this point exactly what the story was going to be with that site in the game if it had kept going lol.

Ah, I was just joking of course, saw Sphinx, and a pyramid, so XD

Well it was definitely inspired by Egypt, so you were right in a way haha. The main thing is just that it wasn't ruins of alph :p. I think it was North of Blackthorn city actually. If I remember, you climbed up a ladder in Dragon's Den and came out at the ladder near the sphinx's paw.
