Yeah after seeing your blog post i was really happy that we were going to get a new beta in short period of time.
But after think about it for a while, 1 thing came to my mind. Take this as constructive criticism/suggestion since I want this game to be as close to perfection as possible.
It may be me, but I feel like the game can become too easy for 2 factors that you may consider changing: Too many powerful items and too much cash. I think the berries regenerate way too quickly and some have big healing abilities. Items are maybe too common as well, tho there aren't an enormous amount, some of them are too powerful for the story-time you find them. What I mean with this is that you usually find pretty powerful items like revives (phoenix-type items) and super-hyper potions alike at the very beggining of the game, and while I know the mechanics of the game may make this logical based of the high amount of HP the pokemon have, it still looks like too much for me. I believe some items need a nerf, specially the healing items and even more so, berries. About the cash, well I am usually able to buy al the houses avaliable and 99 ethers plus 99 potions and go with that for the entire game while only keeping a few phoenixes and selling the rest of the stuff besides some super powerful items that heal or revive everything instantly (Which I think should be extremely rare, like 1-2 avaliable in the entire game). Lastly, about the ManMan, it should only provide junk. Making it able to find powerful potions and power-ups (HP up, attack up, etc) seems overpowered for me even if it takes a while. I think it could provide more junk and more often, but only that, specially since you can craft the power-ups and such by using such junk, and that will encourage people to use the refine system. Otherwise it should be extremely more expensive to buy it from the guy, 399$ is too cheap for what it does now, even 500$ is.
TL;DR: Make healing items less powerful and rarer, and berries should grow back way slower or never grow back unless you provide them something which should be buyable (Like fertilizer or a watering tool, though watering should have a big cooldown or an expensive refilling), so money must be cleverly used. Also nerf the ManMan.
When you read this, think of it happening too with a perspective of a completely developed game with all chapters made.
