I just started, is Professor Oak supposed to give me a new starter and remove all of my Pokemon from my box as if I just started every time I reach the current goal?
None of the items in my bag are gone, thankfully, but still that seems like a harsh bug.
First it happened about 20 minutes ago after I left the game going in the background for over 30 minutes and started climbing after coming back and clicking through different items in my bag. It happened without Professor Oak giving me the starter prompt, I think, and all my pokemon were gone and replaced with a single charmander. After tinkering with my saves, and initializing state repair multiple times with different saves, I realized Professor Oak started giving me the prompt every time I hit the current goal.
Resets the pokedex too.
