So, if parthogenesis is town can it have gym?
It will have sort of a semi-gym. You can't really beat it, because the leader runs/has already run off. The details aren't set in stone yet, but you end up tracking him to the tower. (This will mirror your encounters with the three previous leaders, though you actually do probably BEAT them - they, plotwise, have enough time to gather new monsters, the goblin leader doesn't).
EDIT: Another thing, if Usec hasnt updated the rom then that means no one can edit the rom now because they cant be merged? Just checking.
I actually did find a way to merge them, but it's not simple, I'm really the only one that can do it, and it's not field tested - though it has worked in experimental edits made to test it. ^_^
If you do do this, push it as its own branch, and for gods sake avoid memory collisions. I originally tried to organize a sort of "claim these blocks of memory here before working so we can work at the same time" but that didn't go over so well.
However, if you're editing locations - I'm not sure how that works, actually, but I imagine the potential for conflicts is slight to nonexistant unless you extend into the memory buffer. Editing sprites or tiles is a better way to run into trouble. Ultimately, my merge methodology means you should be fine working at the same time as long as you work on different parts. and use different sections of the buffer (if you use it at all)
But, again, I don't know the mapping, and don't know what you guys are doing, so.
