In Orange Islands, there were a few things that didn't mesh with Caldera/Kirant. Orange Islands had accepted the 4th gen, and had several Pokemon that were somewhat similar to ours. As such, there will possibly be some changes to keep the universe smooth and tight. However, it needs the approval of the Topaz community first! These are the changes proposed (not to Topaz itself! Just for the region of Caldera/Kirant on the Orange Islands):

1) The timeline on the OI will be earlier than Topaz, and thus the trainer needs not have been friends since childhood with Bradley or Simon, and there's no Vincent. Also, while Rocket and Orion will be present, they will not be the main storyline drivers, as on Topaz.

2) Since Leafeon is present on OI, it doesn't make sense to have Chloreon present too. The suggestion was to change Chloreon's sprite on the Orange Islands to this:

Rename it Petalynx as a single-stage Grass-type Pokemon, tweak it's base stats ever so slightly and give it new Egg Moves. It was felt that those who wanted Chloreon in wanted it in for the Pokemon itself, and this seems like the best course of action.

3) It was suggested that Phantern should be renamed Pumpaunt on the Orange Islands, to avoid conflict with their own Phantern. Pumpaunt was Phantern's original name anyway, according to Novoni.

4) Duval and Engil would be scrapped, and Malduval and Benengil would be simply forme changes to the already present Emblare and Luminost. There would perhaps be a small edit since Malduval and Emblare are really basically just the same Pokemon.

5) Moocalf would be scrapped since OI already has Miltrit which is basically the same thing.

6) All Topazmons would be revamped with 4th gen and OI movesets.

7) That's it.


So what do you think? Are these changes acceptable?
