Haha oh wow, that's the first I've heard of this other hack. But then again, its not surprising really that another hack with this same idea would have been suggested. All it really takes is one or two rom hackers nostalgia'ing slightly harder than normal for an idea like this to come up

I remember seeing this hack way back on PokéCommunity, it looked awesome. Since there's a beta I'll add the thoughts on it after some playing. From what it looks like nice job so far Mateo. Also, to Masterage, he's doing some nice work on the sprites from what I see.

At first I entertained the idea that it was you but I figured you wouldn't be using a different username, even so far back. I've actually seen another suggestion for this hack to be made more recently on a different forum, though there wasn't much interest then.
I still like reading through the archives of the previous two iterations of Secrets and Rumors. It's come a long way in terms of theme... It was both amusing and disconcerting at the thought of third-gen Pokemon and self-made PokeGods being included, not to mention the various Cry of Celebi events.

I had a lot of fun with it. I was surprised when it starts out exactly like Yellow, until you're given the Eevee. Not gonna lie, I got my ass kicked in Brock's Gym by the trainer not even him. So, I went and grinded outside of Pewter. I got sick of having Eevee, so I abused the Gameshark. To alter Eevee's happiness. It's now a Lv. 21 Espeon at the end of the beta.
I also noticed the cameo of Brenden.

We'll have to wait on Mat for that information since I don't think we ever spoke about it. However, Celebi was never rumored or even known about during the phenomenon so I don't see it as being likely, not that I wouldn't enjoy it.

Awwwww, damnit, Celebi is my favourite, it would be a good idea but you can't just plop it in if it doesnt go with the rest obviously

Okay, here is the answer on Celebi and Johto.
As Johto was rumoured later on, parts of Johto will be accessible. Ho-oh will of course be included as well, as he was rumoured because of the Anime. While there were no official rumours for Celebi, he will still be included. Exactly how is still to be determined, but it will be detailed by NPCs in the course of the game.

Cloud City, what was there you guys? There was only one code for Cloud City, which went as follows: Get to Viridian city then get over the bush by cutting it down, walk 6 feet forward and a ghost will pick you up and take you to Cloud City. In cloud city move the boulkders into the hole 5 times you will get 30 pokemon each time. There will also be a pokeball that will be where the 30 pokemon each time will be. Thats all! I don't know if it works.However, there were several distinct rumors involving secret/hidden cities. Some of the more popular ones were Cloud City ("above" Viridian City, as explained in the above code), the PokeGod Factory (above the Indigo Plateau), Pokemon/PokeGod Island (beyond the barrier of Route 20 and 21), and Brick Town (above Mt. Moon). The area above the Indigo Plateau was alternately described as a city where people trade you PokeGods or as being a "factory" where you could obtain PokeGods. From my talks with Mat it appears he's combining elements of three of these rumors by making the city above the Indigo Plateau a regular town with high-level Pokemon and PokeGod trainers and a "Pokemon" factory of sorts that's named Cloud City.

Brick Town - Above Cerulean Cave, as it was always rumoured to be (I'm assuming Redstar, you just made a typo)
Pokemon Factory - Above Indigo Plateau (you will use the surf-on-statues glitch to get to a hidden door, which will let you get up there)
Cloud City - I don't think I've actually discussed this one before at least not in any depth, but it will still probably happen.
Pokemon/Pokegod island is not planned as itself, but instead several of the orange islands will be available as a post-elite 4 journey, which will work just as well.
Hope that answers some questions.

Brick Town - Above Cerulean Cave, as it was always rumoured to be (I'm assuming Redstar, you just made a typo) Well, I don't have first-hand memories of rumors for Brick Town so this hack was my first exposure to the fabled city. I think I figured it was above Mt. Moon because the planned red-brick wall barrier made me imagine a valley hidden in the mountains. I know the exact location for these cities varied, but they were always in the same general region. Pokemon Factory - Above Indigo Plateau (you will use the surf-on-statues glitch to get to a hidden door, which will let you get up there) Cloud City - I don't think I've actually discussed this one before at least not in any depth, but it will still probably happen. Man, it's been so long since we discussed this I must have just joined things together myself. All I remember for sure is the Pokemon Factory (as a warehouse) above the Indigo Plateau, and, as "Cloud City" was sometimes used as a name for the unnamed city above the Plateau I figured that'd be the name of the city containing the factory. Makes sense, right? (I assume this "hidden door" means you've dropped the "beat the Elite Four x times" method?) Pokemon/Pokegod island is not planned as itself, but instead several of the orange islands will be available as a post-elite 4 journey, which will work just as well. Hope that answers some questions. Pokemon/PokeGod Island was only vaguely rumored so I didn't expect it to be present anyways. However, it was rumored to be beyond the barrier of Route 20 and 21, so the Orange Islands are a perfect substitute.
