Pokemon (remade for psp) Request/Speculation

Hi.
(this is weird posting this, since there's a post a few down asking something close to this)
I've been working quite a while on a "Pokemon remake" type game. Quite a while...
And I've asked for help, mainly for graphics, but got no help and decided to just keep this a one man project.. Which has turned out nicely (In my opinion). It's coded in PGE Lua since it's easier for me (I know C, but not enough to carry on a large project in it).
I have been wondering though, if everyone could play a re-made pokemon game on the PSP, what would you want it to have?
I already have some things that I wanted implemented into the game. Such as Wireless multiplayer (adhoc and infrastructure), Custom menus, Running (screw the bike), Custom characters, chat, And a type of "create your own world and play on it" sort of thing.
Here's some more info.
Spoiler for Multiplayer:
The multiplayer works like this..
You play the game normally, through the story. If you have your adhoc on, then someone around you can connect immediately. When they connect they just show up in the world, walking around. No need for poke centers for battle or trade. When they connect, a small message pops up at the top of the screen letting you know. There is a "multiplayer island" that is meant to only be traveled to if someone joins the game (since they would have to download your custom map, if you made one) then the other player could travel to your map, or visa versa.
Spoiler for Custom maps:
I've made it so you can create a custom map pretty easily. Everything is easily customizable in your map, from town locations to what NPC's can say. It does take a bit of patience to create a rather large map.
Spoiler for Menus:
Menus aren't really customizable. Well, they are, but not easily. What I mean as custom menus, is nicer, more extensive and interactive menus. Options to load and save multiple saves. "Journal" type thing to keep track of the annoying side quest, as well as the main quest. Options for sounds and adhoc. Basically, it's way nicer than the pokemon menus I'm used to (Gameboy color).
Spoiler for Graphics:
The graphics right now are almost all ripped (apart from menus and some other stuff). Mainly just because this is a one man project so I never really worried about re-making all the graphics. I just assumed to worry about it later, and I still do. I'd really like to replace all the ripped graphics though. Right now, I think they are all a mix of the Gameboy advance Pokemon games.
Spoiler for NPCs:
NPCs are a bit more interactive than Pokemon games. You can carry longer, more random and crazy conversations (or stories). Sometimes talking to a single NPC too much can piss them off, and cause them to stop talking to you, or even give you items to shut you up.
I think I covered all I wanted to. If you don't care or whatever, then just laugh at me and pass this thread up. I don't want to get any hopes up though, in case something horribly terrible happens. Not that I'll drop this, I mean that would the biggest waste of a year and a half of time passing coding.
Really, I just want to know what other people would want in a custom Pokemon game.
-
This will only have the original 151 pokemon, and possibly "custom" pokemon.
Demo will be out soon. Be prepared.

Reason: New Info
When I'm ready to release a test, I'll be sure to let anyone who wants to test know.
I'm actually getting close to having a nice, clean demo finished soon.
The multi-player will have to wait though, until PGE has support for adhoc. (Should be in PGE v3)
The infrastructure might be in the demo... depends.

If I added in custom pokemon, how would you like it done?
Do you want me to make custom pokemon and put them in?
Or would you want me to make it where you could create a pokemon while playing the game?
To slasher - I dont know yet, I guess you'll have to come check time after time.
Not to bound myself to a release date or anything, but I want to try and get the demo out before March is over. Not too long, is it?

This is in lua right?
Becuase if it is you might want to encode the *.lua files b4 releasing or else
some idiots could **** with the pokemon.
And i would like custom minigames aswell, just like Leafgreen & Firered did.

Mini-games are very possible. I'll add it to the list.
Do you mean custom as in Mini-games I make, or mini-games you can make? "Custom" is kind of a loose term.
Um, the encoding thing, I heard, doesn't really work well with PGE. I'll look into it though. Something I was thinking about for the multi-player, since that could be a problem, was storing everyones' pokemon and items data on the server.
It's not going to be exactly like the pokemon games. It ise pretty similar though. All the menus are redesigned by me, and the text dialogs (ie, "Oak : Now isn't the time to use this item") are different. It's essentially a pokemon game, remade for some better graphics, and written in English, rather than translated from Japanese.
Eventually I want to replace all the graphics with custom/fan-made images and tiles.

If I were to post a screen shot, what should it be of?
I'm using the game tiles for the map and NPC's right now. So you all have seen those.
The only thing to take a screen shot of would either be : the Main menu (which I want to remake), the pause menu, some of the in-battle menus, or I guess just the first town...

Is there a way to put a poll on the first post?
I need to take a poll on the whole "custom pokemon" thing. Some people don't think it's a good idea.
