I'm going to echo some of the same bugs. I started playing an hour ago and several things to note:
1. Sp. Def IV graph is locked into one spot. Doesn't affect gameplay just wanted to let you know.
2. Any Pokemon trying to evolve does "freeze" and only way to solve is a hard reset.
3. This might just be me, but I noticed after encountering a wurmple, pikachu, wurmple, then psyduck, I am only encountering wurmples on the very first route. Might not be an issue could just be my luck.
4. Encounter rate of wild Pokemon after one encounter is so high I can't leave a block without an encounter. I also notice an encounter outside of grass area which I saw someone mention already
These are the things I have noticed so far. Otherwise, keep up the amazing work!! I feel I can speak for every Pokemon fan this is what we have been waiting for. Emerald takes the top spot and having it recreated with a different story and beautiful graphics is a breath of fresh air. I am so excited for the finished result, and we all support what you do! You let us know what you need, and we will help however we can! This has made me giddier than a schoolgirl! Thank you for your dedication and hard work! Congrats on this wonderful project!!!
