Hi there! :)
I tried and played your game to the very end! I loved it, and it's very well done! ;) However, I only played the Blue version one, and i won't play the Red one, coz I believe it's the fully same thing in general!
Here's what I liked:
- The new sprites of many Pokémon and many trainers.
- The new textures on the map! I really loved the Power Plant one, it looked so a space-like place for studying space (which inspire the name's game)! Awesome! :) I love space too! ;)
- The fact that trainers have names.
- The fact that we can see if we caught a certain Pokémon thanks to the ball appering beside their name in battle, like since Gen 2! It's a really nice and convenient feature that should have been in the originals! ;)
- The In-game trades were all different, and great too! ;)
- Some Gyms and the Elite 4 were slightly better and harder! It was a good challenge for the league, even though they had the same Pokémon, but i see many have better movesets than the originals! ;)
- The introduction of the Heart Stone for evolving in-game Pokémon. It's useful for those who don't have TGB DUAL, but since I use it, it wasn't necessary, but it's a cool feature. And since we can't trade items with GEN 1, it's really opkay, coz if ot were in Gen 2, i would not have liked this... (A glitched item in a orginal game if you trade it, i don't want that!)
- The fact that we can get both fossils in the game, and all the starters too! It's was awesome, a really nice bonus! i was surprised to see this!
- Some Pokémon have improved movests, like Pikachu and Eevee, but that's probably only those two in general...
- The fact that Charizard can learn Fly via HM02! Seriously, it should have been this way since the very beginning!
- The fact that there are no new Pokémon or new moves! Yes, for me, i really like this, coz I trade with many games by using TGB DUAL, icluding orginal games, and i don't want glitched Pokémon or glitched moves!
Here's what I liked less, or that maked me bored during I played:
- All the texts and dialogs were mostly (98%) the same as the originals...
- Many (like 98%) of the trainers are exactly the same as the originals, with their same Pokémon and level again... :'(
- We can't buy TMs in marts, and the one sold are exactly the same as the originals (Some are bad, like TM37...) :'(
- All marts are the same too!
- Pokémon movesets are mostly the same again, with no new moves at Level 1 (I mean, there should have been moves, all still from Gen 1, but taken from future generations movesets (like Gastly with Smog or Growlithe with Double Kick for example) would have been so cool! But then, it wasn't in ths game, sadly!) :'(
- Some Pokémon still can't learn TM that they normally learn in later generations. (Well, in the originals, it was this way too, like Rock Slide (TM48), Earthquake (TM26) or Dig (TM28)...)
Bref, your game is really good in general! You have done a very great job with the sprites and maps, as well with the nice bonuses that at least suprised me. But, the fact the trainers and texts are mostly the same as the originals is what maked me boring in the long run, coz i know the original games by heart (par coeur in french!), and "une chance" that i speeded my game play for finishing it in 3 days. However, I'll keep this game in my games folder,s so I plan to play it again, coz it's like playing the originals in a new way, an new look, and sometimes, i maked me remember Yellow or Fire Red versions, and it's not a bad thing! :)
Good luck in your next projects, if you have some! ;)
Take care of yourself too! :) ;)
