This is a great hack; probably the best one I've played so far. I find that well written dialogue is far too scarce for the amount of hacks that are out there, so your dialogue was definitely a breath of fresh air.
Technically speaking I had no problems whatsoever, however, may I suggest you turn down the difficulty a bit at the very beginning? It took me multiple tries to defeat each of the six trainers on route 8. I like that you want to give some semblance of a challenge, but when you don't have any access to healing items, and your opponents are throwing status moves at you and healing their own pokemon, it gets a little ridiculous, not to mention that at least the first one or two trainers you battle will certainly have higher level pokemon than you. I don't know, maybe I just felt a little gypped (after all, The Computer Is A Cheating Bastard), but it might be something to look into. The Pokemon Tower section felt considerably more balanced, but that was probably because my Poliwag and Rattata were at level 14 and 12, respectively, as I entered.
Overall, though, a fantastic start to a hopefully fantastic hack. I can't wait to play the next release!
