First of all I would like to say that Pokemon Adventure Red is amazing. Thank you so much for spending all the time and effort to make this for us.
I especially like the humour and 'meta' lines the random NPCs in the game give, along with the unique game-play elements such as avoiding the magnemites on the SS.Anne.
I haven't finished the game yet (up to Fuchsia City) but I have a few suggestions that I think would go really well with the game so far.
1. Difficulty
Sorry if we sound like a broken record on this one, but I think it should be addressed. If every trainer pokemon in the game was level boosted around 30% (or possibly more as the game progresses), but the experience given for winning unchanged, I think the game would really benefit. I have done little to no grinding and my party is finding the game a breeze in combat. I think it would make the game much more fulfilling if trainers and gyms were legitimately hard.
2. Losing track of the story
I really like the fact that finding how to continue the next piece of story can be difficult, this is one of the strong points of the game. However I found the section in Celadon City where you need to go to the phone in the pokemon centre a bit cruel. I spent more than half an hour running around back and forth talking to every NPC in Celadon before looking up a Let's Play. I would recommend making that part a bit less frustrating :) Also put an NPC at the end of the safari zone saying this isn't finished perhaps. A written walk-through would be amazing as well just in case people miss something obvious and get stuck.
3. An item guide
It would be handy if along with the pokemon guide there was an item guide which lists the location of every item in the game.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Thank you so much for making an amazing game and I can't wait for future updates!
There's a dialogue when you enter celadon or pokemon centre (i forgot) which says to phone up prof oak to inform him about how you're doin.. I don't think providin another one is really necessary..
Most people just don't read the dialogues, and it's a vital thing that needs to be done to avoid the situation of getting stuck. I personally never got stuck in the entire game except for the bonus chapters which i had to use the screenshots for.
