Looks like some good work was put into this.
Shouldn't this be in the progressing section if it isn't finished yet?

 

[Sergeant Doof]

Yeah I realized and made a second one xd

 

[cmtthws92]

I can't choose a starter Pokemon. Also you didn't script to prevent me from going south of the town into the grass without a starter.

 

[Sergeant Doof]

Yeah I'm not sure why you can't pick a starter, but thanks for pointing out the bug.

Yeah, I encountered that as well the first time. Second time around, I went directly to the lab without interacting with anyone or going south and I was able to choose my starter. I guess getting the pokeballs before your starter messes something up.

Looks promising! When do you plan to finish this? It's already looking to be one of the better hacks.

I have no idea when it's going to be finished, as I am the only one working on it, but hopefully sometime in late 2017.

I must say, I started playing and the choice of starters is certainly interesting. The only nitpick I have so far is that...

Spoiler:

I don't understand the point about the gym announcer telling me about ground types since as far as I can tell, nowhere can I catch a ground type before facing Ray?

In regards to the gym:

Spoiler:

I don't see why he can't tell you advice on what pokemon are good against electric even though you cannot catch one, but good point.

And for the starters (May have a spoiler for later in the game)

Spoiler:

The game's theme is man-made pokemon, and they're the only decent, non-legendary ones I could find. All of the starters are catchable later in the game aswell, but lets face it, most players would pick porygon anyway {XD}

 

[RenElite]

Are you going to add gen 4-6 moves?

There already is! Aura sphere, draco meteor and play rough to name a few.

Pokemon Franicum is great Sergeant doof but you want to fix the Bugs in the Game.

Yeah, that will be my main priority moving forward, I just need to know what bugs there are.

 

[PkmnTrainerKonner]

I encountered a pretty mean bug where my game turned all kinds of different colors and froze on me when I went to heal at the Pokemon Center in the town after the first gym (I forgot the name of it). I had a similar bug in another hack a year or two ago (I think it was Obisidian Black/Pewter White) and I still don't know what causes it.

Yeah, if it's not something to do with your emulator, it might be caused by remapping the healing centers since flying pokemon aren't in the game. But if the hack changed colors, that's pretty weird. If it the bug was caused by what I just said, the result would normally be a bunch of glitched NPCs standing still or doing actions in the center. Hard to explain but hopefully you know what I mean.

Hey there, pretty nice hack so far {:3}
But can I evolve my Slowpoke into a Slowking? ~_~

Haven't figured out a way for that yet, probably through water stone if it burns down to it though.

They were lots of grammar errors and typos.
Go check the spoilers for errors.

Spoiler:

"What the heck are you doing here?! Scram!"

"UGH! My Poison type Pokemon aren't strong enough!" This guy was irritated that he lost.

Did he mentioned wild Electric types? If so, he says more like "UGH! The Electric types here were such a pain..." Only because he have a Grimer and a Zubat.

This Nidoran as an extra space.

Darn it all? More like Blast it all!

This is a script error. When you look closer, you see this player running. And by the way, There's a capital 'S' typo.

I hope it's useful.

These aren't typos, what you've posted are just variants of the same message, they all make perfect sense in the context. As for the electric one, the grunt is saying as if the electric type pokemon he had to deal with in the power plant weren't enough, the player just being the cherry on top. And the 'script error' I have no control over, that's just how the source code was programmed by game freak. Thanks for your effort though.
