that's exactly what some people must do. my grandpa got an mp3 player a couple of years ago. he called me, being all "oh it's so complicated, come over and help me set it up", so of course I went over. he hadn't even taken it out of the packaging. it came with a manual. some people don't even try.

could be something a little loose inside the mouse. do you still have the receipt? you should be able to return it for another one, since it's faulty

mass effect for sure! there was one death near the end that I was so not prepared for, and I cried for ages

haha yeah, there are definitely some things I should clean up with regards to what commands it understands, esp. with the doors. maybe one day I'll even get around to doing it I'm super glad you guys liked it though :)! text adventures are totally my jam, and making a pokemon one was a ton of...

I think it would be really cool to look into android/os porting! it would be amazing to play pokemon games on your phone, and I think it might be a way to add a little diversity to fangame designs? apps really lend themselves to casual gameplay, like candy crush or words with friends, where you...

pokemon yellow already had a limited pallet, didn't it? I don't remember it being just black and white

I'm not sure! I have like a million projects on the go at the moment that I should probably finish before I start anything new, haha. but I'd definitely love to make more interactive fiction, I find them heaps of fun to put together

I had a look at the source, and the lemon door is right at the end. I realised the game only shows text if you don't already have the keycard (if you have the keycard, you just go straight from one room to the next), which is probably what's confusing you lmao. I added some text to show that...

hint: there are three colourful keycards, and three colourful locked doors ;)

oh hmm, ok. 'unlock' is one of those standard-type commands in the linked pdf, I think? but I could add some more commands for unlocking/using keycards. (esp "use", that makes a lot of sense with a keycard) aha. you can do it as soon as you have the pokeball, but I think I only implemented...

so that people don't just make all the same sprites, maybe you should start a gdoc to keep track of the project's progress? so people can easily see what has/hasn't been done

you should write one too! it'd be really cool to see how different people approached diff. aspects of pokemon :) is the lime keycard the one you have to kind of backtrack to get? I thought that might extend playtime a little lmao. & curse! what a great command! I'm totally going to have to...

word. if you're going to vote on which is the best, they need to be similar, otherwise it'd be apples and oranges :V

I'm taking some creative writing classes in uni (aiming for a minor in it!), so it probably looks like I take it super seriously! but really it's more of a fun times hobby for me, I guess. although of course it would be fun to publish a novel, or whatever!

finally got around to uploading this! I hope you guys like it :) please let me know if there are any errors! (the link to play is in the first post)
