• Pallet Town, Oak’s Lab, Route 1, Red’s House 1F/2F, and Rival’s House.
• Player movement, walking animation, NPC movement, collision, camera scrolling, map-edge warps, walkable step-on warps, collision warps, and fade transitions.
• Scripted Oak’s Lab events: starter selection, Oak’s dialogue, starter nickname entry, persistent Pokeball removal, rival movement, rival starter selection, and the rival battle.
• Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle starter selection with the correct opposite-starter rival mapping.
• Persistent party data for species, nickname, level, DVs, stats, HP, status, moves, PP, and experience.
• Full-screen party list and status screens with animated party icons, nickname/species fallback, level, HP, status, stats, types, total experience, and experience remaining to the next level.
• Species-specific experience growth curves and level-up stat/HP updates.
• Wild and trainer battles with battle introductions, trainer and Pokemon sprites, front/back sprites, send-out sequencing, cries, move selection, PP, accuracy, critical hits, type effectiveness, stat stages, fainting, experience, leveling, victory/defeat handling, and wild-battle escape attempts.
• Battle HUDs with Pokemon names or nicknames, levels, HP values, and HP bars.
• Current starter moves and rival battle AI.
• Pokedex species screens for the implemented starter entries, including white backgrounds, sprite transparency, and species palettes.
• Colorized overworld graphics, flowers, NPCs, player sprite, signs, fences, houses, and Oak’s House palette corrections.
• Colorized indoor maps using per-tileset palettes for Red’s House, Rival’s House, and Oak’s Lab, with tile-specific palette assignments and transition-safe tile loading.
• SRAM save/load with checksum validation, player/map position, party data, healing point, options, flags, hidden objects, completed scripts, and Oak’s Lab progression state.

Current Limitations

• The party model currently starts with one active starter. Additional party acquisition, party switching, storage, and party-wide battle logic are not implemented yet.
• There is no inventory or item database. The Item screen reports “No items!”.
• Run is unavailable in trainer battles and available only in wild battles.
• The Pokedex currently exposes the implemented starter species rather than a complete Pokemon database flow.
• Only the opening maps, species, moves, NPCs, and scripted sequence are represented.
• There is no automated unit-test suite or emulator-driven integration test.
