>>22087320Any size you want works; bigger is better in terms of getting detail in, but also more work. 255*255 is probably my personal preference, since I can do savefile wizardry with that.
Showdown's actual physical codebase will not be imported, since > JavaScript
It will just be used as a "so that's how Zarel's black magic works" sort of thing.

Most of my efforts are going to be directed towards the engine. I would hope everyone on /vp/ can do movesets, and we are going to need a LOT of them to make the pools for our trainers.
Probably the first thing I am going to post is a Pokemon packager that builds a compressed binary file that the game can read out of a moveset in some standardised format or another, so contributing movesets is just as easy as saying "pokemake FEAR.txt" or something of that ilk.
>>22087897As it stands, my list of milestones are

> Get basic AI to workThe AI will not be a genius at first. As people identify its weird failings, it will get better.
> Battle TowerThe easiest.

> New facilitiesgo crazy
Somewhere in there I plan to make a standardised interface for facilities (and probably hubs) so people can package their own frontier islands without having to do all that engine code.
