All of those have answers.

1. Audio development, of course, where Yours Truly (me) made them.

2. Vincent, I don't know much about myself, but I know he's the Champion of the game.

3.Yes, but only through in-game trades. We're pretty sure that player-to-player trades won't work, but if they do, great. If not, then meh.

4. I've played that game, and it SUCKS. It ultimately doesn't matter if it's named the same thing, anyway; ours will be way better.

5. We already are...look through the forums more before asking this stuff.

6. For Pokemon to be tradable to Topaz, it'd have to work on an emulator or something, and we're not making a ROM. Instead, the most part, we'll patch in the Pokemon that aren't in Caldera and Kirant originally. (Shuckle....=D)

7. Yes.

8. I can't remember all of them at once, but Kraklaw, Snarligar, and the trio are some of them.
