-----Thoughts-----
This is my second Pokémon fangame, and I am very happy with it. Compared to "The Rising Sun" (my first game, also set in Hoenn), Littleroot Researchers has better graphics, story, characterization and gameplay. I spent way too much time on this game, and I'm pretty burnt out. However, I really pushed myself this time to create something special. I created fogs for the first time and also two music pieces for the game (Intro + Petalburg Woods).
I hope you enjoy it! No more four-hour jam games from me, and definitely no more Hoenn games. 😅

Actually, that isn't quite true. JoiPlay doesn't support the latest versions of Ruby, so games made using the latest versions of Pokemon Essentials are unplayable unless JoiPlay itself decides to add Ruby 3 support.

My apologies! Thanks for clearing that up!

Yeah, Natural Gift is bugged, I can't fix it because I think it's a default essentials bug so sorry about that! Thanks for playing though!
