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?

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!
