Version 1.3b is out, the background of the final boss trainer sprite is now transparent. If I somehow broke the game, download v1.3 instead


Thank you so much for playing! And thank you for reporting that issue, I can't believe I had that out for so lon

After the credits is the screen supposed to stay black?

Could I use the sleeping overworld Camerupt sprite for an event in my game Eternal Emerald? I would credit you or whoever you would want me to if I could.

Sure thing! You can get it from the game's resource pack: https://eeveeexpo.com/resources/575/

Hey there! Just finished playing this and it wasn't too bad! I really love that you could play as Wally, May, and Brendan! I really liked the design and how some Unovan pokemon were incorporated.

It wasn't too challenging. I thought I would suffer because the characters didn't have items and I had to be creative with what items I brought (spoiler: only healing items because of survival lmao)

Not much for bugs, except Magnus' final boss battle with the "untransparent" character sprite.

Overall, nice job!

Ah, got to Flannery and after the bit of chat and the game having her lead Wally it reset for some reason. No message.

 

[PokemonGamer2000]

hi, what gen mechanics are you using in this game?

 

[ENLS]

This is by far your best work yet, Kenny! Keep it up, and some day you may be good enough.
