1. This game would be hillarious to speedrun.
2. Please consiser adding more content. I'm absolutely certain that many of us that would be willing to back or contribute to the project. As many have pointed out, it would be a shame to rework the game from the ground up just to abandon it. This is a unique game with MANY explorable aspects. The stone ruins near camp could indicate legendaries, mythicals, or an entirely new area. You could add more berries and pokémon. You could allow us to nickname pokémon. You could add shinies. You could add scenes where the Pokémon dom the player. You could add "double battles." You could add stones in the ground for evolution. You could add Paldean sandwiches to boost berry rates or pickup rates. If I haven't listed enough potential, I'm certain the other replies could help. There is so, so much you could do with this medium, and I'm certain that we would support the team all the way. This is a great concept for a game.
3. Damn, Zoroark is hot. Good job there, gang.
