Niall and Nephele

You awaken in front of a girl named Destiny, who claims to have found you unconscious in a nearby forest. Other than your own name, all of your memories seem to be lost. With no other options, you accompany Destiny to the Vanguard Academy, a school designed to transform novice Pokémon Trainers, into professionals with the goal of defending the region from threats known as Renegades, Pokémon Trainers who refuse to abide by the new laws set in place.

I like the game the story is good! But there are a few things I want to point out. You can actually walk through a lot of the walls near doors like in houses you can walk into the blackness, and in the courtyard, at the academy, you can walk into the wall behind the doors. Beyond that the only real issue I've been experiencing is lag. Not in battles or anything but when I use speed up, it's to the point that when I'm walking in the overworld it's faster to just not use it. Also the quest giver in the cave before the first town seems to be broken he has the bubble but he just thanks you even if you've never spoken to him before. Finally I had two questions, Where do I go after the grunt in the forest and where is the zubat cave for the quest?

Lag is being fixed next update (which I'm closed to completing)
Most of the bugs can be fixed by applying a patch or some other things, I suggest joining the discord to resolve your issues faster.
The bottom error has a fix in the discord.
After you beat the grunt in the forest it should bring you through an event that returns you back to town.

Maybe around 50-60 but i haven't worked that all out just yet. Also you can find all the info about variants in the games documentation folder.

Or equivalent in time. It's just i'm really looking forward to playing your game, but I have a huge backlog already of finished fangames, and want to know if this is like equivalent of 2 gyms, or 7. At 7, I'll jump in, at 2, not sure.
