Nevermind, I went to the SBS. I think you stand a great chance. Now, I have no idea what everyone else is doing, but you seem to be working very hard on this. I can't wait to see what it turns out as. I'd like to help with this, but I feel like the only thing I could possibly do is help make original sprites for the final product. (I'd be honored to do that btw)
Wow, that looks like the real deal! Keep it up, since you don't plan on adding a full on map, maybe take a linear route and after battles have a menu with a shop with battle chips. Maybe eventually have multiplayer. *gasp* You could possibly have the chance to let us have something simillar to MMBN 4.5 (but let us control our Navis).
