Yeah!! It's great, I'm playing that currently, hack of my dreams..
But what I was thinking was more like, instead of the usual cliche choose between the guy or the girl thing, we can choose the sprite of our protaganist to be either Ash or Gary, and somehow hence decide the starter the player would get.
i.e. if choose Ash, get Pikachu, Gary, get Eevee.
Something different from the ordinary boy or girl thing..
Still, it's impossible to incorporate two different scripts in one game so I guess Gary performing Ash's role might lose the mean element of Gary..
Don't have to take this into serious consideration, it was just an idea that propped up looking at both your hacks.
P.S. Your Gary hack is great.. Really enjoyed it (or rather still enjoying)..
Pity some of the scripts weren't changed to make Gary the mean one and Ash like he's supposed to be..
