Zenith, it's my job to see everything within the context of the whole picture. Not just the "what it could be" or the "what could be better", but also the "what we have" and "what can change". That's why I get to be favourable to some kinds of change and not so favourable to others, because, frankly, I do know more about Topaz than you do. Admittedly, this wasn't the case for a while when I first became the project leader, and of course I do forget things, but do realize that while I may seem to be against things for the sake of being against, it's because I am more able to understand the consequences of each change and how it affects what we already have. It doesn't mean I have a veto but I certainly have the right to disagree.

Also, if you want us to see your plan in its entirety, then you'll either have to post it in its entirety, or you can post whatever you will, and we will voice concerns that you will need to address. You can't just suggest something and then say that all our concerns are not valid because of a new piece of information you present that we would have had no way of knowing before. There was nothing in your post to suggest that the Eye of Sand would be blocked off (presumably by a Go-Go-Goggle style key item) until Skobeloff Town was finished.

As for the themes that would have to be changed. There is a pretty cool theme on the route connecting the Eye of Sand to the Mountainous Path on the way to Skobeloff Town concerning Iglonia and Torkoal and their Fire/Ice duality. I feel that the interplay of fire and ice has not really been explored very much by the rest of the Pokemon games so it was a interesting theme to include, and there was some agreement, though admittedly there wasn't that much opinion posted.

Also, understand that we do respect your opinion. Not just me, but a lot of people here. That's why you were made a VIP, because enough people respect your opinion that we believed you could use some more information to work with.

@Reliability: Colossus City was set up as an infringement on the harmonious nature of Caldera towns. It's supposed to be a polluting, debauch place with Drakodo and Grimer about, and the routes around it and I believe the NPC lines have been set up around this theme.
