Hey-o, I played partway through the game before reaching the softlock I DMed you about. But I thought I'd write down my thoughts so far.

This game has an interesting concept: you could work in all sorts of sidequests, and other unique events as you explore the world. I enjoyed the game's mountain setting, and how you had the landscape change with each day. I thought it was dynamic, and gave some more purpose to there being a set timeline.

But, what struck me about the game, is how empty it is. There were perhaps one or two trainers per map, and oftentimes no NPCs. Despite having houses and a Ranger HQ in the town, you can't go into the homes/do anything with the Ranger quests. (Even though the professor and game's intro state there would be events to interact with.) I know you've acknowledged this on the thread, though, so I won't expand on the subject. I do want to give a couple quick pointers for when/if you flesh things out.

Pointers

Spoiler: Pointers

• The balancing at the moment is not great. Even without there being many trainers, the wild Pokémon were 5 to 7 levels above my starter mon.
• Because you already have the whole mountain mapped out, I think making a map of the area for the player would be handy.
• I would consider throwing in a speedup button for the player. You can't go wrong with adding one. ^^

Misc Thoughts

Spoiler: Misc

• The Escape Rope being a key item instead of disposable was neat.
• I appreciate that I was able to get the bike so early.
• I liked the map design. The mountain had some interesting locations, and I enjoyed seeing how they shifted with time. I think my favourite of the areas was Cascade Forest, and the cave that gradually flooded beside it.

As a whole, I'd love to see what this game would be like if you continue to develop it! I think that it has a lot of potential to be a refreshing fangame experience!
