Heya ShantyTown, I just wanted to express my extreme praise for what you've managed to do with this ROM hack and I really really hope that a final version sees the light of day!! As has been said before, the various little touches regarding the NPC comments, signs, bushes even(!!) were hilarious and the variety when it came to Gym Battles and simply the storyline as you trek through the region were all plus points.
I finished with my team:
Arcanine Lvl 32
Raticate Lvl 36
Kingler Lvl 35
Raichu Lvl 39
Weepinbell Lvl 36
Machamp Lvl 38
Just one question - I found Item, Moon Thunder and Fire Stones in my playthrough, but no Water or Leaf Stones?? For me it meant I couldn't evolve my Weepinbell :'( but for those who choose Staryu/Exeggcute, it could have a much bigger effect on their run. Are these items present in Beta 3.0??
