^^" Haha, I didn't reply to your last one, huh. So I thought I'd mention - Nintendo (now that they added the female characters) have been pretty good about using gender-neutral language, and about not calling the female player a boy. It's fangames and hacks that forget to do it. I'm hoping not to be guilty of - well, the reverse, really, since I always play as a girl... XD I don't think I will, but mistakes do happen...
Anyway, back to the question at hand... the answer to which is probably much less interesting. XD
Basically? I'm okay. Not really good or bad, particularly. I've been packing because we're leaving for Wyoming on the 22nd (by car, but it is only two states away - according to my brother it is a 12 hour drive). I don't necessarily want to go, but I feel I should, so... Of course, I love packing for some reason, so it's not like it's all bad.
Oh, randomly, to address the issue with levels of Pokémon when you have several regions in the game. I'm going for a certain amount of realism, and not forcing the player into things, which means it will be perfectly okay for the player to take their level 100 Alaccian Pokémon wherever they want. It will be up to them to choose whether to train a different set of Pokémon in different regions or not.
I also don't know whether I'm giving access to any other regions before the player beats the league (and I don't know, but I'm secretly hoping to have all four of the official regions - still, I promise nothing). If I gave access to only one other region before the league, it would of course be Johto, because of the player's parents.
Arriving in different regions is all by boat, so the player will sail from Port City to Olivine, Vermillion, Lilycove, and Sunyshore (which looks a lot more like a port than Snowpoint - I think only the Battle Zone ferry sails from Snowpoint...). That means that it's also a good thing to have trained Pokémon with you when you arrive, because you don't arrive in the starting town. Of course, I might make the levels of Trainers' Pokémon less predictable in the other regions, too... Gym Leaders of other regions would stay about the same levels as they were in the original Nintendo games, though.
^^" Hehe, probably shouldn't actually say all this, especially since I'm not even sure how much will be going in the game, but I don't really have that many people to ping my ideas off of...
