Hello there!
I've been enjoying this hack a lot, it brings a really nice amount of novelty to the Pokémon Experience.
A few things I'd like to note:
1) Turquiose town? If the name is inspired by the blue/greenish color, it's spelled Turquoise; certainly you can call the town anything you want but my pedant eyes can't help detecting it every time.
2) As for the fonts, it seems the game doesn't assume the characters to have a fixed size, but the old font happened to have all characters with the same width. You could try adding a column of empty space to the left of the thinner characters like 1 and l (lowercase ell).
That'd probably be simpler (and wouldn't look much worse) than trying to find the code that right-aligns the numbers and changing it so that it doesn't just count the number of characters when deciding on the offset for where to start drawing a number - it'd have to check what those characters are so it doesn't move too far left.
Honestly, ensuring all characters have the same width is probably the best way to go around it.
3) Would be really nice if the artist that made sprites like the Twejay also redid Kelprawn.
Lemme start another run without Cyndaquil - I really want to use an Expleetle! :D

Looks good....gets boorring somewhat later but overall good game...I think it would be good in future where the main saga starts....
Anyways some suggestions
The player can go to the other town without defeating the gym leader
Use a check flag script for it not allowing the player to go to the next town until the gym leader is beaten
Anyways gold luck in your hack

Is that a bad thing, though? Sometimes it makes sense to restrict progress, sometimes it's fine to give the player some freedom in the order he can face his challenges.

Well it basically shows some lack in scripting and the player might not be able to defeat the others without proper levelling up his pokemon......anyways its your thought I don't want to particularly interfere in your thoughts

You need to patch it onto a FireRed ROM (which you should find yourself via google etc.) using a program like Lunar IPS (which you can also find through google).

The patch file is the .IPS file you get from downloading from the first post in this thread.

Playing the second beta, I must say I really like it so far! The design of the fakemon is in my opinion spot on and I really like the colours in the hack. Looking forward to the next (beta) chapter!
The egg salesman and the burglar challenge, great creative innovations!

Don't worry about anything past 151. Those are just the leftovers from when I started working on the hack, none of that is going to be in the game. Thanks!
Thanks! It's good to see some people LPing my hack as well, I've watched your first few episodes and it's quite entertaining. :) I'll make sure to watch the rest if I can find the time.
Thanks! I don't have any dates because I'd probably just end up missing them, but don't worry, it won't be too long. ;)
There will be some more custom music in the later game, but probably not for every city unfortunately. The person that was originally working on it doesn't have the time to anymore.
Could you be a bit more specific? Have you tried restarting? What ROM version are you using? For these type of bug reports, I need information. I've received no other reports about this. :/
Swirlix is not catchable yet. You should be able to catch him in beta 3 though. ;)
1) Thanks, can't believe I missed that haha. It's been fixed for beta 3. :)
2) If I get some time I'll have a look into the font problem. It's just a small graphical glitch so it's not a top priority for me.
3) Probably not going to happen, personally I think Kelprawn looks fine.
Thanks for the detailed suggestions anyways, I really appreciate these type of posts! :)
Would you mind telling me which town that's in? Because I know the only town I've done anything even remotely like that is in Slate City, and that's entirely intentional. You're meant to defeat the Snowcrest City leader then come back.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Sorry for the long absence, I haven't been hacking much lately but I'm still working on cyan! :) I don't have much to show today, except for a little preview of another big event involving team rocket:

That moment when I realize that I haven't noticed this hack yet... It's a really impressive project I've got to admit that. Everything looks awesome , the story being set in a tropical archipelago ( reminds me of orange islands , however they didn't appear in any game) , the tiles give a colorful yet tropical feeling to it and the decision based storyline just tops it off. Good luck on it !!! Keep it up ;)

I've found few bug:
- Kelprawn hasn't is own avatar in box and party, he looks like Venonat
- Sealob hasn't is own avatar in box and party, he looks like Venomoth
- Ruffski hasn't is own avatar in box and party, he looks like Tangela
- There are two different Beautifly in the game: one is number 16 on the dex, while other's number is ??? (I evolved the second one from a wild Silcoon..)
- The Pikachu obtained from the in-game trade in Maroon city hasn't a name (he's named /Pikachu)
I also think that adding a wild pokémon list (including those you can obtain from the egg shop) and an evolution list would be really useful.
I love the design of the fakemon, by the way. They're really well done ;)

You spelled Ruffski wrong, and yeah its Venonat and Tangela's box/party sprite all right...
Anyway i found a few bugs:
- Purrloin line, Cubchoo line (i'm not sure about beartic, i haven't checked it yet) dosen't have their own cries
- Fumystic line dosen't have their box/party sprite [Fumystic's box/party sprite - Larvesta | Fumeseous' box/party sprite - Volcarona]
- Tirtouga's box/party sprite dosen't have an animation in the party menu (if you don't choose Tirtouga)

You're right, call it an oversight; I had no intention of hurt you with my wrong spelling.
