HUGE UPDATE

How close is alpha test?

Depends on when I decide to release it. The entire battle system is done, it just needs some fixing up and bug fixing, the entering battle thing is done, and random pokemon can be found in grass (I need to improve this a bit though). Really, it just needs AI, leaving battles when you win/lose, and maybe a few actual pokemon/attacks.

Are u gonna have pokemon revived at full health after the trainer whites out or are they gonna still need a pokemon center.and can u change the tournaments from the emote thing where u tell the judges what they should see and have it like the pokemon league where when someone feels they are strong enough they battle a gm for items and prizes and such?

Pokemon contests are undecided currently. Also, as of now, the pokemon league will be AI trainers.

Will u have AI or Human Gym leaders?

Because the E4 is comprised of AI trainers, I think it's safe to assume that gym leaders will be the same, at least for now anyways.

Nah, i wanna be the pokemon all the way and the game is great like this.

This Game isnt leaving

If you want to play as trainer, then I would suggest letting us play as trainer,trainer with pokemon, and pokemon or pokemon with trainer and pokemon.Then what would pokeballs be use for thowing at npc. Just don't reset our stats.

AI Gym leaders, too.

As for the people who want to be pokemon all the time, sorry. I can't really do much, as handling a game with both pokemon and trainers gets plain out confusing at times! Make one change, then you have to make 10 others to get something to work correctly!

Saphirex - I could barely read your message, but this is what I have to say about it (if I interpreted it correctly): You can't play as a pokemon out of battle. You can play as one in battle , but that's it. That segment of the game is almost done in fact! Pokeballs are used for catching the NPC pokemon, which you can then use in battle. And as far as resetting stats goes, I can't even "reset" them. As it's a mostly different game, save files can't be reused.
