One more thing--I got an error after you get the red flute. The cutscene involving Dustin plays and he turns to walk offscreen (he doesn't do that, he just stops in place) and it freezes. The player is unable to move. It's weird.

sorry to be a bother but for some reason when I go to talk to the cursed girl in the swamp to fix her and I have the red flute she isn't healed? I have the red flute, but she doesn't give me the card.

It's not a bother, I need all the bug reports even the smallest ones.
It's fixed now, but you'll need to go back to the deepest part of the cave and interact with a mushroom.

so after you beat the Witch of the Swamp you can get stuck in the doorway after you try to leave the house. I can't move from the doorway.

I honestly don't know what's happening there, I think I fixed it.

 

[LilyInTheWater]

I'm still stuck...I think you should teleport the player in front of the door for the cutscene, instead of inside the door. I think it would solve this problem.

So I beat Whitney and the room after her teleports me to the swamp instead of the next area.

It's fixed. I hope you didn't save after beating the Gym, cause I'm not sure if you can reenter. I think you should be able to

 

[Pushinok]

can you rename pokemon?

Open your party and select the Pokemon you want to rename then click Rename

I entered the upper right house in the castle area (looks like a cafe, to the right of the pokemon center) that took me to the daycare. When I exited I appeared in what looks like a dev zone of some sort; broken paths, particle effects in a special zone, trainers like may and Blue were there too. I've been unable to return to the normal area and fainting my party hasn't helped either.

Yeah, that's the built in region for Devs. You shouldn't be there.
I've got the fix ready but I'll need to know where you are so that you can be put back into the right area. Can you send a screenshot? But if you didn't save once you entered there, then I won't need one (and tell me that you don't) and you can just go back to when you were in the correct location.

I ended up using the debugging tool to warp back to the castle area. I'm glad there's a fix for it though, thanks for your time :)

Is there a speed up button?

Not in this version, considering that for a future version when the Judging and Community Spotlight are done

You're probably in the Jungle, you have to wait until you obtain the Mega Ring.

 

[brutes7]

Hi, love the idea and I love playing it but I stumbled upon some bug (or maybe I set up something wrong). I downloaded your game and put resource folder into graphics, I guess this is correct way?

My problem is that when I enter cave it doesn't load... I can see other trainer but can't see map it's just blank, and when I defeated first gym my character became invisible?

Thanks
