Future plans

Once I have gotten the game into a completable state from start to finish with as few bugs as possible, I plan on doing the following;
– Adding in Gen 5 Pokémon.
– Adding a Nuzlocke mode into the game.
– After finding a script hidden in game for dive spots, I’m thinking I may add in some post-game shortcuts for certain areas (for example a direct route from Goldenrod to Olivine via route 34) and will be using them to facilitate access to gen 3 (and maybe gen 4 also) legendaries

Changelog

• Fixed a text error within Battle Tower

• Potential fix for several Pokémon appearing to be caught only when seen (such as Chimchar)
• Decapped the Item storage system

May 08, 2024

• Fixed typo on Mom script in New Bark Town

• Decapped Olivine Gym sign
• the Hiker in Vermilion City now actually gives you a better prize than before for getting all of the badges instead of a single HP Up – He now gives you 3 free Rare Candies. This NPC is resettable after an E4 clear also so you can keep getting 3 Free Rare candies everytime you beat the E4 after unlocking it. This is a placeholder prize for now. Something much more desireable will be given out once the content has been made for it
