Ok, I like

Except I found some errors (see attachment).
1. Tile the sprite is facing cannot be stepped onto.
2. Typo in the Woman's text.
3. Scripting error, should be \p not /p
Also why is Diego the first default Rival name? Its very confusing when you pick that and the NPCs talk about two Diegos :\ Perhaps a different name could be put there
Hopefully the red-screen man can be fixed up soon as I have an obsession of battling every trainer :\!
Overall good! Like the tileset, the scripting seems very good and I quite like Mikachu :3 (even if its slightly overpowered

). I'm not far in but I will report anything else I find, thanks for the fun!
