hahahhaa
my OW sprite editor is broken
so i have to manually write each OW sprite in hex
one 16*32 sprite takes about 6 minutes to do
and there's nine to a set
so that's almost an hour per set
and i have two sets left to do

:')

Goddamn but this is a long script. Hoovestone Caves are nearly done, just writing the boss battle script now. After that I need to do Route 3, Route 4, Everfly Forest West, Everfly Town, Everfly Forest East, and Route 5, in that order, before I catch up with the maps we have.

The sign text before the cave is also crapped up.

Really enjoying this however! I can't code but I'm looking thru yours to check for obvious (i.e. spelling errors, null declarations etc.) to see if I can help.

EDIT: #org @girl's set of commands doesn't have an END on it like the other three do.

Any signpost event without an associated script has that problem, don't worry about it. And thank you for pointing that out, I'll fix that and see if it works.

216mb, actually. And I haven't a goddamn clue, to be honest. It zips down to a little less than 5mb, in fact.

For folks who want to see what we've got so far, here's the most current version of the ROM. I'd advise using VisualBoyAdvance to play it.

Known issues:
-Pokémon Centers DO NOT WORK. The script has been disabled, and you can instead heal your Pokémon by talking to the shady-looking man next to the entrance in the Foalgate and Maresden Pokémon Centers.
-Many scripts are missing, mostly signposts.
-Everything past Route 2 is currently blocked off by a construction worker while I finish making said areas.
-Hoovestone is virtually empty, as I haven't gotten around to writing/placing anything for it yet. The only current resident (the old man in the second house) will give you fishing rods if you show him the first, fourth and eighth gym badges, but since the first gym battle hasn't been implemented he currently only talks.
-The rival battle in Route 2 hasn't been scripted yet, so there's just a guy that looks like the male character standing there. That's my next priority.
-Female character's backsprite uses an incorrect palette.
-Intro needs to be reworked entirely, currently lets you name the wrong rival.
-Battle dialogue vs. rival needs to be rewritten.
-Several Pokémon sprites need to be moved up/down.
-Pokédex lists incorrect habitats and footprints.
-Pokémon cries need to be replaced with new ones.

Created and inserted the tiles for Route 7, the Terra Range and Windiguard. SNOW. EVERYWHERE.

Two more maps have been added - Maresden and Route 2.

New Pokémon:

Weedle
Meowth
Cleffa

Zubat
Onix
Baltoy

Now to figure out a level script for the second rival.
