Found a bug: when I try to leave through the gate at the end of the maze past Berry City, after fighting Dratini, the game freezes and crashes.

Pug, Pleasure! How's the Beta going? Just wanted you to know there's at least one random dude hyping like crazy for your work! Any updates? :)

Progress is on track! I'm creating the tedious graphical stuff at the moment (tiles, sprites, etc), so I don't have much to show off right now. I'll post another update as soon as I do, though.

I'm glad you're hype. Your hype makes me hype.

Hey, all. It's been about 7 months since we began working on the beta and it's looking like it'll take several more still until it reaches the length I had planned for. That is, about 50% of the hack not including post-game events. That said, would you prefer we release a beta sooner? It would cover roughly 30% of the hack. To put it into perspective, that covers about 2 - 3 gyms worth of gameplay.

EDIT: Also, keep in mind that the second beta won't take nearly as long in either case because all of the grunt work will have been finished.

I made a poll in the main post, so please vote if you'd like!

Personally for the sake of generating more attention to your thread, I think releasing a beta sooner would be in your best interest, especially while you're still stickied up here!
Personally, I wouldn't really try it out until a lot more progress was made, as I hate the feeling of starting to become invested in something only to have the experience cut short.

I must have accidentally checked the button that lets you vote twice lol.

Fair point. I'm partial to releasing a shorter beta, too, but I'll go with what the majority votes for.

I'm very hyped for the beta. I think it's like "a little taste" u know?
Perhaps 3 gym will be too much just for a sneak peek. Idk.
I'm checking this at least twice a week hoping for news

Hey, all! I'm still working out the graphic-related grunt work, but I thought I would reveal a little feature that I'm personally excited about. Introducing...

Primal Evolution! Certain Pokemon in the region will have special items that provoke their primal instincts and trigger an evolution known as Primal Evolution. Keep an eye out for more details on this!​
