Man this is gonna be strange....Im gonna try this out once I get the chance, of course. The images on your first page depicted the main character as a regular Rocket Grunt, and Im sure you an do better than that. You should make the character more recognisable, a unique sprite for it. Maybe you could change the colour of the original character sprite's to black through editing......Ah well, nevermind. Aside from that your game looks excellent, Johto has always been my favourite region, and I'll be looking forward to a demo soon ;)
