Curious to bump by and ask how progress is coming along for the next release. Also, do you plan to update to the new PC box that polished Crystal has implemented?
I've been making steady progress toward finishing up the game, trying my best to avoid burnout. The next release out of me will be a proper version 1, so it may be a while. Progress can be tracked through the Github repo's dev branch.
I have no plans to implement Polished's storage system at this point.

Good luck, don't drain yourself out too much! Take care of yourself and remember, real life comes first, have a great day and good luck with the rest of development.
Okay, I lied about not releasing anything further.Here's Demo 2.05, including a number of fixes, including a fix to improper evolutions for Pokemon that evolve while leveling up and holding an item. Use beat to patch.
After having someone do a very helpful playthrough, I was able to discover a number of bugs and text errors that have gone unnoticed.
This patch is exclusively for fixes, and does not feature any new content- it would still be a good idea to save in the basement of the nearest Pokemon Center before using an existing save.
Spoiler:
Incorrect evolutions for Pokemon that can evolve while holding an item.
Pokemon that would formerly evolve via trade were not evolving via happiness.
Breeding evolved Pokemon will now correctly give the base form of that species.
Breeding Nidorina or Nidoqueen had a chance to give the player a Tauros instead of a male Nidoran.
Duplicate Endure TM in Staghorn Town replaced with Silverpowder
All drink prices adjusted, Sweet Tea and Berry Juice effects also changed.
Strength base power and Rock Smash PP increased slightly.
Raiger is now correctly listed when the Pokedex is set to A-Z mode.
Remove Stat Exp gain from battles.
Cables in Rugosa Gym now light up properly after the leader battle. Trainers will also use the correct encounter music.
Buying a Shifur Doll from the Rugosa Department Store will no longer give a Surfing Pikachu Doll.
Has this hack been completed yet ? I've got 6 badges and sorta feel like I need surf to progress. I saw in earlier posts surf wasn't available yet but was wondering if it has become available yet?

Quick question: Is the next release (or this release) contain Gym Leader rematches??? Probably because Gym Leader Murphy (the 1st gym leader) has a Lv17 Heracross on his team...

I have rematches planned for postgame.
Leaders will have different/upgraded teams when fighting them out of order. Murphy doesn't have his Heracross if you fight him first.
It's taken a lot longer than I thought it would, but I'm ready for a full 1.0 release now. The remaining Gyms, along with Elite Four, Champion, and some postgame areas have been added. There is still much more to add, but this release will provide a near-full experience.
The final 2 gyms have been added, along with the Elite Four.
After entering the Hall of Fame, each Gym Leader will offer a rematch once per day, growing stronger after each battle. The Elite Four will have expanded teams as well.
The Safari Zone has been implemented.
Doll Capsules can be bought in any Poke Mart and give the player a random doll.
Trying to use a Repel while one is already active will display the remaining steps on the old one.
Stone Edge, Freeze-Dry, Brick Break, and Body Press have been added as new moves. Freeze-Dry replaces Powder Snow, Brick Break replaces Low Kick. and Brick Break replaces Vicegrip.
Capturing every kind of Unown will unlock something special.
Number of weather turns remaining will be showed on the battle screen.
Pressing Start or Select in appropriate battles will display the current stat levels of the Opponent's or Player's Pokemon, respecitvely. It will also show the remaining turns of Reflect, Light Screen, or Safeguard if active.
If the player has failed to capture any legendary Pokemon, they will reappear after entering the Hall of Fame.
Black Sludge has been implemented, working similarly as it does in the official games.
Boss encounters will each have a unique title. Secret boss encounters have been added around the region.
Boss and Legendary Pokemon will no longer consume PP in battle.
Smeargle has access to (almost) every move as an Egg.

Marill and Azumarill have received the Light Buoy, which doubles the attack of each Pokemon. For Azumarill, it also deals physical damage with all of its moves.

Extremespeed has +2 priority.
Transform has +1 priority.

Sunny Day and Rain Dance will fail if the respective weather is already active. This does not affect the 'Charm' items.
Parasect holding a Big Mushroom will receive halved damage.
While charging damage with Bide, the user cannot be knocked out by direct damage. Bide will always last 2 turns, and skips accuracy and type matchup checks.

Hearty congratulations on your hack's amajor release! I remember when the demo was release during the early quarantine period (at least in my country), can't wait to give this a spin asap! Thank you for your hard work!
Also not sure if this is intentional or not but rock smash is supposed to be TM 08 but the TM is listed as TM 38. If its ment to be 38 for this game, the text from the gym leader still says TM08 as a heads up.
